Dear Editor: When is a resolution not a resolution? Welcome to Claremont City Councils Tuesday night meeting! In reference to the Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG) petition, Councilman Larry Schroeder stated: Its not a resolution, although the agenda says it is a resolution. City Manager Tony Ramos, in an effort to clarify exactly what the council voted on and passed, stated: I think it was to sign on to the principles of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns. So, I ask the question: Did the council vote for something they could not clearly define? On a more serious matter, in all the years I have lived in Claremont, I have never heard of threatening a sitting mayor with removal because he/she refused to sign a procedural document. While the City Attorney Sonia Carvahlo issued a disclaimerI am sorry if this offends anyoneshe went on to inform that since the mayor serves at the pleasure of the council, the council could remove him, and have the mayor pro tem moved into mayor position for the sole purpose of signing onto the Mayors Against Illegal Guns. In an eloquent dissertation, Mayor Opanyi Nasiali stated why he was not in favor of signing on, thereby committing Claremont to the MAIG organization. Mr. Nasiali should be commended for his insight and fairnesshe urged everyone in the audience to take their cause to the proper jurisdictionthe city of Claremont

Politics take center-stage with illegal guns petition
he Claremont City Councils discussion on gun violence took an unexpected turn on Tuesday night when the councils 3-2 vote effectively gave Mayor Pro Tem Joe Lyons the power to sign the Mayors Against Illegal Guns petition should Mayor Opanyi Nasiali decline.
The discussion on signing the Mayors Against Illegal Guns petition was first brought before council in March because then Mayor Larry Schroeder wanted council approval before doing so of his own accord. We appoint a mayor every year by the council and I believe that the mayor should take direction from this council. Its not an independently-elected mayor, Mr. Schroeder noted. That person, when signing policy or signing procedure, should take the majority view of the council. The mayor title shifted from Mr. Schroeder to Mr. Nasiali before a decision could be made. After 2 hours of public comment Tuesday night, Mr. Schroeder made a motion to direct Mr. Nasiali to sign onto the petition, despite his personal beliefs against it. Mr. Schroeders reasoning, as stated before, was that because the Claremont mayor is more of a symbolic titleselected by the council and not voted on by residents through a formal election processhe or she should heed the will of the council majority. Mayor Pro Tem Joe Lyons seconded Mr. Schroeders motion, stating his belief that gun violence is clearly a local issue, while Councilmember Corey Calaycay joined Mr. Nasiali in voting no because he felt the response to the Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG)
petition is not so clear-cut, at least not for all of the Claremont constituents. When we take a position as a council in the name of the city of Claremont, the city of Claremont is roughly 35,000 residents, and thats putting everybody on record in favor of something, Mr. Calaycay said. Its not for the city to put all of the residents on record. The Mayors Against Illegal Guns coalition lists several principal goals: to hold gun sellers accountable for those they sell their guns to, to punish those who obtain or traffic in illegal guns, to help develop technology to help law enforcement better trace illegal guns, support local and federal legislation against illegal guns and to ban lethal, military-style weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines. The MAIG coalition consists of more than 800 mayors from 44 states lending support to enforcement of gun laws within their respective communities. Councilmember Sam Pedroza, though supportive of the principles set forth by the MAIG petition and believing that gun violence is indeed a local issue, abstained from the initial vote because he did not support forcing his personal viewpoint on Mr. Nasiali. To me, that sets a really bad precedentNot just on this issue but on any other issue that comes before this council and future councils, as well, Mr. Pedroza stated. As Mr. Schroeders initial motion died because of a lack of majority, Mr. Pedroza proposed to instead authorize the mayor to sign the petition should he we wish to do so and approve future mayors the ability to do so as well. Again, Mr. Lyons seconded the motion and, consistent with their previous vote, Mr. Calaycay and Mr. Nasiali voted no. Mr. Schroeder added the approval needed to pass the vote.
Its a choice for the mayor to make...but if he is unavailable or refuses for any reason to carry out your authorization, then under the government code the mayor pro tem can step into his shoes.
Sonia Carvalho Claremont City Attorney
Its better than nothing, Mr. Schroeder gave as his reasoning. The zinger came next when City Attorney Sonia Carvalho interpreted what the council had effectively approved. Ms. Carvalho pointed out that in this context, because Claremonts mayor is chosen by the sitting council, authorizing the mayor to sign the petition is similar to authorizing him to sign a contract on the councils behalf. Should the mayor not act on that authorization because he or she is opposed to the issue or otherwise, then the duties fall to the mayor pro tem, according to Ms. Carvalho. Its a choice for the mayor to make...but if he is unavailable or refuses for any reason to carry out your authorization, then under the government code the mayor pro tem can step
into his shoes, Ms. Carvalho reiterated. Its a personal choice. Carolyn Gonzalesa Claremont resident who urged the council against the petitionquestioned the validity of Ms. Carvalhos interpretation. Her interpretation changed the intent of Sams motion, Ms. Gonzales asserted. The end result was no different than what was said in the first place, and that resolution died. Sams intent was distorted. Claudia Strauss, supportive of the petition, was equally perplexed by what had taken place. I feel a little uncomfortable with the idea that the mayor pro tem can step in, Ms. Strauss admitted. I wont go against legal counsel, but this is education for all of us. In general, however, Ms. Strauss said she was heartened by the nights discussion. I take heart in the fact that a majority of the council and the audience came forward in support of the idea of a petition against gun violence, she said. The only difference in opinion was if this [local government] is the right place for the discussion. Before voting no, Mr. Nasiali reiterated his belief that gun legislation should be handled at the state or national level. He also reminded the audience and his fellow council members that he was not the one to bring the issue forward for council discussion. Mr. Lyons says he will refrain from discussing whether or not he will sign the petition until Mr. Nasiali formally refuses to do so himself. During the councils comments, however, he did note, If I were sitting in that chair, I would sign this particular document on behalf of the people of Claremont, who I think are in the vast majority in favor of the kinds of requests that are being made in it.

Academic achievers honored by city council for high marks
City should safely ride out revised state budget cuts, city manager says
On May 14, Governor Jerry Brown released his revised state budget for 2013-2014. Preliminary views of the state budget indicate Claremont will not be adversely affected should that revised budget be enacted, according to City Manager Tony Ramos. In the past, local assistance for public safety or Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) funding has been a target of the state. However, the May revise does not propose to reduce this funding at this time, and the city should receive its allocation of $100,000 in 2013-2014, Mr. Ramos said. The recently revised budget reduces the projected amount to be received by cities from the dissolution of redevelopment, Mr. Ramos noted. While the actual impact to Claremonts property tax revenues is difficult to assess at this time, Mr. Ramos says he has received information from the Los Angeles County Assessor that the assessed property values for the county are expected to increase by over 2 percent in 2013-2014. Claremont typically experiences growth in assessed value that is close to or higher than countywide figures, therefore the resulting increase in property tax revenues from the projected growth and assessed values will more than likely offset any reduction or loss in redevelopment revenue, Mr. Ramos said. We will continue to monitor the status of the state budget throughout the rest of this fiscal year and keep the council and the community informed of any impacts, he concluded.
or the first time in Claremont City Council history, high school students filled half the seats open for Tuesdays city council meeting. Thirty-one sophomores, juniors and seniors from Claremont High School flooded the council chamber, along with parents and family, to be honored in a special ceremony at the beginning of the councils regular session.
Each was recognized for acquiring a grade point average of 4.0 or higher over the last 6 months of schooling. The recognition is part of Mayor Opanyi Nasialis mission to recog-
nize student achievements, both on the sports field and in the classroom. Council members efforts to encourage the students of Claremont Unified School District have not gone unnoticed by district administration. School board vice president Steven Llanusa made a special appearance at the council meeting to show his support. Its nice that the city council has our school district students in mind, Mr. Llanusa said. Its reflective of the close partnership between the city and the school board. Students were called individually to the front of the chamber where they were awarded a special certificate of achievement. Keep up the good work, Mr. Nasiali encouraged the students after calling out several names. Now you can go home and study.

Assembly passes bill to give military personnel a tax break

Assemblymember Chris Holdens legislation to give active duty military personnel a tax break when they are transferred into California was approved by the state Assembly late Wednesday. AB 143, the Military Use Tax Exemption, would eliminate use taxesa type of sales taxon personal property purchased by an active duty military member who has been transferred into the state. It just doesnt seem fair to tax our active duty military personnel when they are already making so many sacrifices, Mr. Holden noted in a press release. California is home to nearly 13 percent of active duty members stationed in the US. It just seems the right thing to do to relieve some of the burden for those who may least be able to afford it. A use tax is levied on items purchased out-of-state for use in California. If a service member is on active duty in Texas and purchases a computer or furniture, then 3 months later is transferred to a base in California, he or she would be required to pay a use tax. Under AB 143 the tax would be waived. Active duty military in California are already exempt from paying taxes on such items as cars or trucks they bring into the state. This measure would expand that to
include items such as furniture, stereos, computers or any items purchased from a retailer while living in another state. AB 143 is supported by the State Board of Equalization and veterans groups throughout California. It now moves to the Senate for consideration.

POLICE BLOTTER
Wednesday, May 22 Three Pomona residents are being held for robbery, burglary and conspiracy to commit a crime after breaking into a mans home in the 500 block of Hendrix Avenue and robbing him. Larry Haddock, 36, Dionete Pearson and Lydia Carcoba, both 25, kicked in the front door and confronted the man, stealing his wallet, a laptop and stereo equipment. Unfortunately, their dramatic entrance caught the attention of neighbors and before the trio could make off with the loot, police were at the driveway. Mr. Haddock and Mr. Pearson fled on foot, but were detained a short distance away. Ms. Carcoba was arrested before she could leave the car. Thursday, May 23 A second trio of Pomona crooks made a similar public entrance in the 400 block of Marygrove with results not unlike Wednesdays Hendrix Avenue crime. Sergio Casas, 27, Gloria Martinez and Zendy Felix, both 26, were spotted entering a residence through a side gate and exiting with a lawn mower and edger in tow. They were loading the gardening equipment into their car when police arrived and arrested them. There will be no gardening in their near future. Friday, May 24 Claremont is a long shot from Panamaor Panoma, Oklahoma, for that matterbut not according to 18year-old Kaitlin Walsh of Huntington Beach. Ms. Walsh was certain thats where she was, after police found her screaming in her car. Police approached her car and, according to the report, Ms. Walsh informed the officer she was in Panoma. In reality, she was parked to the rear of the Claremont Fire Station. She was arrested for public drunkeness.
Burglars work overtime during holiday weekend; Claremont police arrest suspects
here was no leisurely 3-day weekend for Claremont Village burglars, whove recently made a sweep of homes along Yale Avenue, Sixth, Eighth and Tenth Streets. Five Village homes were targeted in a crime spree that began on Friday, May 26, and spilled over into the Memorial Day weekend. Claremont Police Department investigators developed a possible suspect vehicle description through interviews and arrested 53-year-old Lund Colton on Wednesday, May 29. Between Friday and Saturday around noon, a burglar entered a home in the 600 block of Sixth Street through a side window and stole $425 in cash found in an envelope, according to the report. Later that day, around 2:37 p.m., police report that a home in the 200 block of W. Tenth Street was broken into via a set of French doors within the homes courtyard area, which had been apparently kicked in. A laptop worth $1200 was taken. A resident in the 1000 block of Yale Avenue found a pane of glass knocked out of a back patio door around 4:30 p.m. and a $2500 Louis Vuitton purse was missing from inside the home. In another incident, a family member Sunday, May 26 A crook clipped their way into a home in the 1000 block of Richmond Drive Sunday afternoon. The burglar gained entrance to the house by cutting away a window screen on the side of the garage, according to Lt. Ciszek. A laptop and camera valued at $1100 were carted off.
who was housesitting arrived to a home in the 500 block of Eighth Street around 11 a.m. on Monday to find a front window had been broken. Stolen property is unknown at this time, according to Lieutenant Mike Ciszek. Another resident in the 600 block of Eighth Street reported that a board from the rear gate facing the alleyway had been pried off, also discovered around noon on Saturday. There was no sign of entry into the home itself, but a report was taken. Claremont detectives canvassed the neighborhood on Wednesday looking for the suspect vehicle and found Mr. Colton acting suspiciously. Detectives and officers conducted surveillance on the suspect and watched as he looked at several different homes in the area. At about 5:30 p.m., Mr. Colton was seen entering a home in the 1100 block of Harvard Ave. A few minutes later, he left the house carrying a canvas bag. A traffic stop was conducted a few blocks away and the suspect was taken into custody. Additional officers responded to the victims residence and confirmed that a burglary had occurred. Property from the residence was located inside the suspects vehicle. Tuesday, May 28 Police are investigating details behind a medical emergency at the Chevron McDonalds, 860 S. Indian Hill Blvd. A woman was found passed out on the floor of the fast food joint, unconscious but breathing. A large amount of narcotics were found in her possession, according to Lt. Ciszek.
Detectives are conducting follow-up to ascertain if Mr. Colton is responsible for other burglaries within the city. Residents on Base Line Road experienced a similar crime spreeone home in the 300 block of Base Line Road was especially unlucky as it was broken into twice. The first occurrence took place between 11 a.m. on Wednesday, May 22 and 11 a.m. the following day. Burglars had pried their way into the rear garage to enter the vacant home, according to Lt. Ciszek. A vacuum and a toolbox were taken. The home was found broken into again on Friday, May 24 shortly before noon. Drawers and cabinet doors were found open, but no property was reported missing. One man was arrested in the same block of Base Line Road after being spotted trespassing in a residents front yard. Kenneth Thomas, 45, of Pomona was arrested after it was determined the yellow cab he was driving was filled with stolen property from the Claremont Colleges, Harvey Mudd sweatshirts, laptops and bills included. Unfortunately, the vacuum and the toolbox were not among the stolen goods. Police said it is unknown whether or not Mr. Thomas is connected to the crime. She was taken for medical aid. Investigation continues.

Service Center property sells in a flash; approval eminent
t all happened in record time for the Claremont Unified School District on Wednesday when its Service Center property, located at 700 Base Line Rd., was auctioned off in less than 5 minutes.
Rich Blogg, senior vice president of land acquisitions, on behalf of homebuilder D.R. Horton, made the conforming bid. The bid will be brought before the school board for approval at their next meeting, set for Thursday, June 6 at 6:30 p.m. D.R. Horton has agreed to pay CUSDs $7 million asking price, with a $10,000 deposit, for the nearly 144,000square-foot property. In February of 2012, D.R. Horton purchased an adjacent piece of district property, the 4.25acre site of CUSDs old district offices (2080 N. Mountain Ave.), for nearly $6.2 million. The homebuilder is expected to break ground on a housing development there as soon as this summer. It is likely the board will approve D.R. Hortons latest bid. After all, board members declared the Service Center site surplusat the recommendation of the districtbecause the homebuilder had expressed interest in purchasing it for a phase 2 of the aforementioned housing development. Once the bid is approved, the district will have to find a replacement site for the Service Center, a need that has been a topic of discussion at CUSD gatherings in recent weeks. San Antonio High School has been suggested as a site, an idea that some have questioned, worrying that placing a service center there would take away from beneficial open space. At a May 22 meeting of community members who live near San Antonio High School, some people also expressed concerns about an industrial fa-

cility like a service center being unsuitable for a single-family residential neighborhood. Rick Cota, Service Center Director, notes that the districts new center of operations will be significantly streamlined, perhaps encompassing 6000 square feet of building space on 30,000 sqaure feet of land. He has also emphasized that the district is still looking at every possible option with regards to the location of a new Service Center. Two other companies placed bids, but they were not conforming. One agreed
to pay the $7 million asking price but their bid did not include the $10,000 deposit CUSD requested. Another offered a little over $4 million, a bid that was likewise unaccompanied by the $10,000 deposit. Neither company sent a representative to the auction, underscoring the fact that D.R. Horton was the only viable buyer. The swiftness of the auction process was a source of bemusement for those who presided over the bidding, who included, among others, Mr. Cota; Lisa Shoemaker, CUSD assistant superin-
tendent of business services; consulting attorney Constance J. Schwindt of the Atkinson, Andelson, Loya, Ruud & Romo law firm; and representatives of Tierra Development Advisors, the real estate firm that has helped promote the sale of both the District Office and Service Center properties. This is probably one of the fastest hearings I have ever been part of, Ms. Schwindt laughed.

CHS students to hold recycling fundraiser to help man in need
laremont High School students are asking residents to keep their plastic bottles and cans to help reach a 135,000-recyclables goal set for their Do it for Del collection.
After a month and a half of planning, the recycling collection event will be hosted next Saturday, June 8, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the south CHS parking lot, located just north of the athletic field. So far the students have kept close to campus, asking peers and faculty to donate any recyclables they can to help their cause while refusing monetary donations. So far they have collected close to 300 bottles and cans. Initially we thought about having bake sales or boxes in the classrooms to make money, Co-leader and CHS sophomore Joshua Romero said. It was decided that it would be too tedious to keep track of the money so we switched to collecting bottles and cans. The cause started to help 81 year-old Montclair resident Del Cornwell pay off dental bills that cost approximately $6000. Mr. Cornwell has been collecting recycling from the school for nearly 15 years. I always feel like I owe something to the school so I
clean up the trash while I pick up the recycling, Mr. Cornwell said. It is not uncommon for students to see him walking around campus after school wearing his hat, a pair of rubber gloves and pulling a cart filled with bins of recycling. Mr. Cornwell originally had gone in to get a regular dental check-up when the dentist told him he needed a root canal and three of his crowns needed to be replaced. Since he does not have dental insurance, Mr. Cornwell was using the collecting as a means to help him pay off the bill. Joshua noticed Mr. Cornwell collecting recycling from around campus. From there he approached his English teacher Lisa King about doing something to help pay off the debt. The students involved had just finished a lesson on activism and what it means to be a human rights activist. Students were determined to become activists and wanted to create an event they believed would help someone who needed it. The Do it for Del group separated into subcommittees by the students to play on their strengths. I help out with each group that had been formed in the beginning, co-leader and CHS sophomore Anika Byun said. Each individual has their own position in their group for their style and what they do best. I think its phenomenal what were doing, co-leader
and CHS sophomore Matt Tornero said. When I heard the idea I knew I had to be apart of this and Im proud of what weve done. We have really persevered through the problems weve been presented with. The group has overcome some setbacks including opposition to the collecting, the need for sponsorship to have the event on-campus and having a time that worked for both the collection and drop-off of the recyclables, but the students have pulled through to make sure that once the event date arrives they will get through everything smoothly. It was a humbling experience to see students would take time to do this, Mr. Cornwell said. This event is not out of pity, this is simply out of our hearts, Joshua said. This is our chance to help someone who needs help. The students ask that anyone that would like to help to only donate plastic bottles and cans. If any glass is donated it could cause a hazard for the students and would not be able to add to their overall goal. Anyone interested in contributing to the recyclable drive or for information on how the organization is doing, email Matt at mtornero2015@cusd.claremont.edu.

Transparency...its plain to see

by Mellissa Martinez
uring a recent news broadcast, I heard the word transparency used 6 times in the course of a 10minute interviewas an adjective, a verb and a noun. The reporter spoke of a transparency agenda, and later his guest suggested that people be more transparent in their efforts to promote transparency. Perhaps the only thing that everyone agrees on these days is this word. When a scandal erupts, a politician is provoked, or a leader steps down, there are calls for transparency.
LEX
IN THE
CITY
form of parere meaning to bring forth. Some surprising transparent relations are parade and viper. Parade stems from the Latin parare, arrange and prepare, a relative of parere, and viper comes from the combination of the Latin vivus alive and parere. It was once believed that the flesh of the viper possessed great nutritive and restorative properties. In fact, viper wine, a medicated wine made from an extraction of vipers, was used in the 1600s to feel new lust and youthful flames. As transparent made its way through Medieval Latin and into English, it described things that were invisible or that light could shine through. Photographers used the word for slides and teachers will remember writing on clear plastic sheets, or transparencies, to project an image onto a screen. Today, many of us still use the word to describe clean glass, clear water and gossamer-thin cloth. When transparent is used in a social context, its meaning is the opposite of invisiblein fact, it means
An investigation into the history of the word uncovers connections to light, invisibility and sudden appearances. Transparent comes from the Latin, transparere, meaning show light through. This was a combination of trans, through and parere, come into sight, appear, bring forth or produce. In the early 1600s, the noun transparency evolved from the adjective, meaning the condition of being transparent. The Latin parere also led to the English words apparent, apparently, appear and apparition, which came from ad (to) and parere. If something was apparent, it was evident, obvious and visible, while an apparition was an unexpected or startling appearance. Other transparent kin include parent and partum, as in post-partum. Both words come from the
visible. Used to describe government organizations, politics or corporations, it refers to accountabilityno secrets. So why do we use transparency rather than descriptors like visibility, or openness? In the 1990s, as the use of transparency grew, New York Times language columnist William Safire commented on why people loved this word. He said that when looking for a universal term to counter Cold War secrecy, openness was just not good enough, frankness had an aggressive tone, visibility was overtaken by the airline industry and scrutability didn't measure up as it was better known by its opposite form, inscrutability. He wrote that using transparency felt like letting in the sunshine. Apparently, he was right. People still love this word. There is a place for transparency in almost any field. In linguistics, it refers to a visible or obvious connection between a word and its meaning, while computer experts use transparent to describe programing components that are invisible or undetected by the user. Transparency in the media calls for a determination of how information is shared, while social transparency refers to open information for citizens. It seems that the versatility of meaningboth visible and invisibleis a good thing. Politicians, pundits, teachers, photographers, linguists, computer programmers, reporters, artists and even CEOs like to throw in a little transparency when they can. This makes me wonder if the old expression dont be so transparent is on its way out. After all, everybodys doing it.

All politics is local

Dear Editor: At the Tuesday, May 28 council meeting, an administrative item to authorize the mayor of Claremont to sign and join the Mayors Against Illegal Guns petition was opened to public comment, and was voted on by the council. Understandably, this issue was the culmination of much public comment and strong opinion. I am not going to debate the issues involved, but to speak to the manner in which the 5 councilmen addressed the issue. Larry Schroeder and Joe Lyons approved the motion. Mayor Opanyi Nasiali and Corey Calaycay voted against, and Sam Pedroza hemmed and hawed, but finally approved the measure on a compromise motion. It may be that Mr. Lyons, the mayor pro tem, will be the actual signer of the document, in that our council operates under the rules of a general law city, as the city attorney explained. Those at the meeting were witness to the drama of debate, discussion and procedures that revealed much about the nature of each of our councilmen. In the final analysis, 2 votes approved the measure, and one vote had to struggle through administrative and bureaucratic webs before approving. What was interesting is that the 2 no votes were not based on the policy of the resolution, but rather on obscuring its intent, on not wanting to offend, or that the city should not be involved in issues that should be petitioned at higher levels of government and that the resolution was just words and not worthy of wasting city government time. To those on the council who voted against the measure, I would have thought more of them if their reasoning was based on being against joining cities across the state that are trying to make a coalition to effect public policy. Instead, we were given reasoning that is not, in my opinion, acceptable of those who are elected to public office. To those who voted against, if you would like to

continue serving the city, perhaps you should seek a suitable staff job in the city of Claremont. City council members are the creators of public policy, not just staff bureaucrats. Council members are elected officials, and within their group appoint a leader to be mayor. This group is designed to lead and are called upon to create. At times, this can be uncomfortable. As to the dismissal of the resolution just being words, we start our city council meetings with the Pledge of Allegiance, and often follow with a moment of silent reflection so that each of us, in our own words, can contemplate what matters most. Yes, those 2 matters which begin the business of the city are just words, but words are the most powerful creator of public policy and demonstrative of the greatest leaders in history. Claremont is the grassroots of the coalition of cities that form counties, states and our nation. All politics is local, and leadership begins in the council chambers in Claremont.

City attorney disregards intent

Dear Editor: Should the mayor of Claremont sign on to the Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG) coalition? That was the question at Tuesday nights council meeting. According to Councilman Sam Pedroza, in the past, mayors have had the prerogative to sign this type of request on their own. Mayor Opanyi Nasiali gave a well thought out reason why he was not in favor of signing on to MAIG. Councilman Larry Schroeder then entered a motion that would direct (i.e., force) the mayor to sign-on; the motion failed on a 2-2 vote with Mr. Pedroza abstaining. Mr. Pedroza stated, We dont
have to do the vote tonight; we dont have to go through this process. Do you (Nasiali) need authorization from this council or would you be able to sign on by your own cognizance? Mr. Pedroza went on to say, If you are asking me to force you to sign this, that, to me, sets a real bad precedent, not just for this issue but any other issue that comes before this council. I am not supportive of forcing you to sign. Mr. Pedroza then entered a motion to authorize the mayor to sign, not force. The intent of the motion, which passed, was not to force the mayor to do anything. City Attorney Sonia Carvalho then clarified that authorizing would essentially force the mayor to sign. Ms. Carvalho added that if the mayor could not or would not sign because of disagreement of content, absence, etc. the mayor pro tem would then have to sign. She said that is how it is when signing contracts, resolutions, etc. But this was not a contract, nor a resolution, according to Mr. Schroeder, so to what was she referring? Ms. Carvalho further stated that in a general law city like Claremont, the mayor serves at the pleasure of the council; the council, in this case could retract their mayoral appointment and temporarily appoint the mayor pro-tem to the mayors position, thus adhering to the request that the mayor" (not mayor pro tem) sign-on to the MAIG, thus ensuring Claremonts participation in the MAIG coalition. I thought this to be a drastic and unprecedented act given this was not a major city issue. All of this possible juggling just so Claremont would be among
those cities who have signed-on to MAIG? Ultimately, the authorizing motion, according to the city attorney, forced Mr. Nasiali, as mayor, to sign on to MAIG. This was clearly not the intent of Mr. Pedrozas motion. The city attorney should have advised Mr. Pedroza of the consequences should his motion pass and asked him to restate or rephrase it. He was well aware of his intent. She should have not waited until the motion passed to advise the council of the consequences of their action. A simple statement, The council should be aware that if this motion is passed, it will be interpreted under law as mandating the mayor to sign on to MAIG. This insight would have given the council a more clear understanding of what it really meant. Legal counsel has a responsibility to not just interpret the law, but to advise in a timely manner when an action will have unintended consequences. City Attorney Sonja Cavalho did an injustice to Mr. Pedroza and to Mayor Opanyi Nasiali.

Carzz and Jazz

Dear Editor: The Foothill Philharmonic Committee (FPC) would like to thank this wonderful and caring community for its generous support of FPCs recent Carzz and Jazz concert featuring David Benoit. The event raised funds to provide local children the opportunity to attend great musical performances. The response to Carzz and Jazz was gratifying and the jazz, magical. However, the real winners are the many children who will be able to attend the concerts at Walt Disney Concert Hall.

Architects architect has keen eye for design
ames Sink, chairman of Claremonts Architectural Commission, has come a long way since constructing Lego structures. Though he admittedly hasnt left behind the plastic blocks of his past, Mr. Sink now dedicates much of his time to edifices that are slightly larger and more subdued in color.
The lifelong Claremont resident has made a name for himself throughout Los Angeles County as a principal engineer for HMC Architects, most notable for designing residence halls and other structures for universities and colleges. His work includes 4 phases of student housing and a common area for his alma mater, Cal Poly Pomona, and the construction technology building for the Los Angeles Trade Technical College, for which he won the bid after an extensive 6-month design competition. He has also made a name for himself locally as a dedicated commissioner, having served on Claremonts Architectural Commission for the past 3 years and as a regular docent at Claremont Heritages annual Home Tour. While Mr. Sinks buildings may be familiar to those throughout LA County and among his fellow Claremonters, his face will now be a staple in homes across the country. Mr. Sink graces Building Design+Construction magazines latest edition as one of the Top 40 Architects Under 40. Mr. ComCOURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff missioner is listed as number 2 on this years list. It came as Claremont resident James Sink builds Lego houses with his children Sophia, 5, and Dominic, 3, recently no surprise to friend and colleague Mark Schoeman, also a in their Towne Ranch home.

EYE FOR DESIGN continued from the previous page
He is an architects architect, Mr. Schoeman said of Mr. Sink. Its his dedication to the space he creates. Hes concerned not only with the design but how it performs from an environment and energy use standpoint, and is concerned with making sure the clients needs are met. This honor is well-earned. Mr. Sinks dedication to his craft dates back to his childhood. A boyhood friend insists that Mr. Sink informed him at the early age of 7 that he wanted to be an architect. The lauded local architect doesnt really recall the conversation, but he does remember hours upon hours of playtime spread out on the living room floor building structures out of Legos and Lincoln Logs. His fascination for building paired with the influence of a neighborhood architect and relatives in the contracting business, he decided early on to make the realm of architecture his career of choice. I never wavered from that decision, he insists. It was in my blood, I guess. He put his hobby into professional application as a high schooler, enrolling in Maureen Wheelers architectural drafting class at Claremont High School. Around the same time, Mr. Sink and other members of Claremont Presbyterians youth group were asked to help renovate the youth group rooms at the church. During the renovation project, he was introduced

to the office of Wheeler & Wheeler Architects. When the project was complete, Mr. Sink stayed behind and buckled down in his studies with Ms. Wheeler as his guide. He set to work as an apprentice for Paul Wheeler, running errands wherever he could or helping out with blueprints. And before high school graduation, he was given his first paid gig. Mr. Sink hasnt forgotten the gesture, which he says had a profound influence on him and his career successes. He still fondly remembers riding home on his bicycle after his first day of work as a paid architect. Before I had the real job, everything I
would draw was hypothetical. As I bridged into drawing on the boards and knowing it was going to be built, it was a really cool feeling, Mr. Sink related. Theres still a magic about it that I love. Mr. Sink always displayed a characteristic talent for the trade, Mr. Wheeler recalled. Mr. Sink showed Mr. Wheeler the extent of his skills when tasked with figuring out the measurements pertaining to a house the company was moving. Moving a house is a particularly difficult task, as even a quarter of an inch off the base for the homes new resting place can cause a very unhappy customer, Mr. Wheeler noted. He credits Mr. Sinks leadership, precision and enthusiasm for the success of that project and many others. If you dont have a real passion for architecture, youre not going to make it, Mr. Wheeler stated. [James] had the passion at an early age. And you could tell he was a sharp kid. With his affinity for design further fueled at Wheeler & Wheeler, Mr. Sink continued his architectural pursuits with a Bachelor of Architecture at Cal Poly Pomona. Applying his studies in a realworld context at Wheeler & Wheeler and the ability to try different areas of work helped provide him with the diverse back-
ground that he sought. I was able to get a ton of exposure into a lot of different facets, proposal writing to drawing to building out in the field during construction, Mr. Sink said. That was really important to me, in order to see what I was really interested in. With his thirst for knowledge still unquenched, Mr. Sink and his wife Kim headed for Cambridge, Massachusetts, where Mr. Sink would earn a Masters in Architecture at Harvard, after 5 years under Mr. Wheelers tutelage. He returned to Claremont a year-and-a-half later and has been hard at work ever since, first with AC Martin and now with HMC Architects. The lifelong learner enjoys that his job continues to teach him something new. Architecture is one of those professions you continue to learn from and only get better at with age and experience, Mr. Sink said. Its never dull, there is always something different. Joining Claremonts Architectural Commission has provided him with additional new territory to explore as well as the opportunity to give back to his hometown. You get better at learning how to present and how to think critically, Mr. Sink said. Its not only been a great learning opportunity, but a great way to contribute back to the community. Commission work has given him the chance to work alongside one of his mentors again, as Ms. Wheeler is a fellow commissioner. Age and work aside, Mr. Sink always finds the time to get back to the basics. Now that his daughter Sophia, 5, and son, Dominic, 3, are old enough, the Legos of his past have made a strong comeback. He has also gotten the chance to further exercise his woodwork, crafting a toy box and kitchen set for the playroom. [Working as an architect] is such a wild card. You can do the same type of project and yet its never quite the same, Mr. Sink said. You create and recreate. Every day is an adventure.

COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff Erik Johnson and John Solana have partnered in a new restaurant called Petiscos, located in a historic property on First Street in Claremont. The new eatery, which will feature small servings of food from South America and Mexico, is scheduled to open on Monday.
Petiscos: Tasty tacos are fare game for those on the go
n the 1800s, it was a ticket office. In the 1950s, it was home to Claremonts Folk Music Center and through the 1980s, it was Shrimps. Today, its all about tacos for the little white house on First Street as John Solana of The Back Abbey and Union on Yale adds a third venue to his Claremont restaurant repertoire.
In partnership with Erik Johnsongeneral manager of The Back AbbeyMr. Solana debuts Petiscos taco house this Monday, June 3. Through their latest culinary venture, the local restaurateurs welcome the Claremont community into the backyard of one of the Villages oldest buildings for South American-in-
spired cuisine. Petiscos is not only apt in referring to the shacks petite stature, but also in referencing the tasty tidbits served up insidewith tacos, tamales and street corn among the handheld varieties envisioned for the new establishment. We wanted it to be something that you can easily grab and take with you, Mr. Solana said. The taco shell works as the vessel. You can literally eat the entire dish. Mr. Solana, the son of a US serviceman, lived on the United States air base on the island of Terceira, located within the Azores Islands of Portugal, for 6 months of his childhood. While living on the island, he was introduced to side-of-the-road dinner houses, each with distinct and delicious dishes housed in unassumingly small quarters. He models Petiscos in the same manner.
Opposite from The Back Abbey and Union on Yales dine and stay awhile atmosphereeach equipped with lavish outdoor seating areasPetiscos is meant to be a casual affair. Customers will order and pick up their meals at the window and can either go on their way or stay and enjoy the eaterys backyard garden, outfitted with cozy picnic tables and a beer in hand. Petiscos is Mr. Solanas only location that offers to-go food. Its meant to be modest, he insists. Paying for the bill is modeled with the same easygoing manner. Tacos will range from $4 to $8 flat rate, no taxes added, according to Mr. Johnson. Petiscos may be down-to-earth in dress and decorum, but in keeping with the flair of The Back Abbey and Union on Yales out-of-the-ordinary fare, Mr. Solana and Mr. Johnson are dreaming up bold menu

ideas. While sticking with the classic, homemade tortilla on the outside, taco fillings may include seasonal choices like elk, wild boar and quail along with the classic chicken, beef and pork staples. The people in Claremont are very well traveled and knowledgeable about different food and are interested in trying new things, Mr. Johnson said. We want our customers to get the chance to try something they might not typically be exposed to. In the process, the partners families have been able to get their share of worldly cuisine. Since coming up with the idea of opening a taco joint about a year ago, the pair have been testing out their recipes at home, much to their

families pleasure as well their own. I could eat my bodyweight in tacos, Mr. Solana joked. Though the grills are just getting fired up in preparation for opening day, detailed plans have been underway for quite some time, ensuring the proper preservation of the historic site of their venue. Controversy brewed at a gathering of the Architectural Commission last summer over use of the historic building as a kitchen space. Residents had mixed emotions as the commission gave Petiscos its final approval.
Locals will no longer have access to the buildingthe space is only large enough for the kitchen staff, Mr. Solana explained. However, steps have been taken to ensure that, should Petiscos close its doors, the old Shrimps will remain preserved as it has always been. In addition to adding original glass from the era of the building to replace the current windows and a fresh coat of paint to replicate its origins, removable panels will be placed along the inside of the building to make sure it isnt ruined from use as a kitchen. The floor has been removed, restored and fixed back in place with a special coat that can be sanded and removed without harm to the original work. The building had been in bad shape, Mr. Solana said of when he first acquired the house. I originally wanted customers to be able to come inside,
but with ADA standards and all thats involved in opening a restaurant, it became impossible. He hopes that his outdoor transformation and indoor preservation, along with his cuisinewith a reputation for freshness that precedes itwill aid in paying homage to his hometown and the distinct character that Claremont residents and visitors have come to know and love. Petiscos backyard garden and cozy quarters remind him of the familial Claremont of his past. Claremont is filled with special spaces and this is one of them, Mr. Solana said of the little white house. Its a hidden little treasure. Petiscos, located at 211 W. First St., will be open Monday through Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Performances of the musical are set for Friday, May 31 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, June 1 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
CHS Drowsy Chaperone will amuse, invigorate lovers of musicals
uesday night at Bridges Auditorium epitomized the musical theater experience.
At the first dress rehearsal for their season finale, Claremont High School theater students attempted to wrest perfection from the chaos of an in-the-works production. They entered stages left and right, sang, pirouetted, listened for cues and occasionally flubbed a line. Despite the perennial questionCan we make this happen?looming before the opening of any show, it is clear that the musical, with its spot-on period costumes, elaborate set and dozens of enthusiastic performers, will charm audiences. Performances of The Drowsy Chaperone are set for Friday, May 31 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, June 1 at 2 p.m. and again at 7:30 p.m.
The show has an amusing premise. A misanthropic man, who has written off humanity as an unredeemable bother, cherishes one great pleasure in his solitary existence: whimsical musical comedies of the sort that flourished in the 1920s. He places the recording of one of his all-time favorite shows, an imaginary confection called The Drowsy Chaperone, on his turntable and magic ensues. The musical, an amalgam of soaring melodies and insipid lyrics, theater clichs and a lot of heart, springs to life, right in his living room. The agoraphobic Man in the Chair addresses the audience throughout in a running commentary. The show-within-a-show is set on the wedding day of Broadway starlet Janet Van De Graaf and oil tycoon Robert Martin. As is de rigeur in musical comedies, complications ensue, threatening the joy of the happy couple. Broadway producer Feldzieg, famed
for his Feldzieg Follies, hopes to dissuade Janet from getting married so she can star in his next production, an aspiration intensified by pressure from 2 gangsters whose boss has invested in the Follies. He deploys the vain actor Adolpho to seduce Janet. In a case of mistaken identity, Adolpho accidentally seduces Janets brassy Chaperone, who has been enlisted to keep the bride and groom apart before the wedding. Drowsy, the audience quickly learns, is a euphemism for alcoholic. The cast of characters also includes another unexpected couple, the aging and foggily forgetful Mrs. Tottendale and Underling, her loyal employee. Theres also the airheaded but ambitious flapper Kitty, who manages to snare a Follies role plues the hand of Feldzieg. Yet another tangle ensues when best man George

Gardens takes green approach to skilled nursing care
heres nothing like a gourmet kitchen, plush couch and 60-inch television to make one feel at home. These may not be the typical images conjured up when thinking of skilled nursing care, but with Mt. San Antonio Gardens Evergreen Villas, a new alternative to skilled nursing care debuted on Wednesday, the Harrison Avenue retirement community is shaking things up.
Through the Evergreen Villas, Californias first Green House concept home, MSAG officials are encouraging other retirement facilities to throw conventional skilled nursing care out the window. The Gardens may be known for its rolling landscape and lush garden spaces, but in this case Green House, 2 words, refers to the growth of the residents inside the facilities, provided for by the establishments independent, house-like setting. Theres a certain peace that home brings, explained Sheila Siegersoa, one
of the Evergreen Villa nurses. You are able to be the real you. Garden president and CEO Randy Stoll recounted his father, a man who valued his independence, moving to the Gardens assisted living facility after living with his son for many years. It was there Mr. Stoll says he truly learned the power of socialization. His fathers health increased as he found a niche for himself among his neighbors. After 40 years of smoking 3 packs a day, he quit almost overnight, Mr. Stoll recalls. However, when a lung cancer diagnosis requiring acute care forced Mr. Stolls father into a skilled nursing facility, Mr. Stoll remembers his father pulling him down by the tie and telling his son, in a none too subtle fashion, to get him the heck out of there. And I know why, Mr. Stoll said. He lost control of his own life. He was the kind of guy who would get into his little scooter and go watch construction all day longthats what he liked to do. You have to get a court order to get out of a skilled nursing facility, Mr. Stoll quipped. That experience with his father served as a catalyst. With this new multi-million dollar facilitythe first in California and one of about 50 operating or in development across the nationMSAG is re-

turning that sense of socialization, paired with the latest research, to bring skilled nursing up to date. Whats right changes over time, said Dr. Thomas. In 1961, [the current nursing home] was a state of the art building and people were proud, and they deserved to be proud. Now, more than 5 decades
later, we are taking a new journey. With the latest research indicating that skilled nursing facilities with a personal, home-like feel provide residents with 4 times the amount of needed social connections, MSAG set to bring the comforts of home back to their skilled nursing residents. The 2 Evergreen Villas are each 7000-square foot, open-concept facilities with large gathering spacesliving room, kitchen, denand personal quarters for each of the houses 10 residents. Each room also has a personal bathroom with a walk-in shower and a lift with the ability to help the resident all the way from their bed to that bathroom. Each room has large windows with views of the garden outside. In addition to the posh living space, residents will be aided by a handful of nurses and caregiversknown as Shahbazim, an ancient Persian term meaning Royal Falcon for the complete guidance and care they provide to elders, from cooking to laundry to companionship. Among the new Shahbazim is Amanda Phos, a certified nursing assistant who has been hard at work at the Gardens clinic since 2009. Not unlike many high school graduates, Ms. Phos found herself with

On a whim, she signed up for a Certified Nursing Assistant class through Pomona Unified School Districts Adult Career Education program. I knew wanted to make a difference in someones life, to make their life more fulfilling. The CNA lifestyle fit the bill. At the gardens, she relishes the time spent with seniors, whether it be dressing a wound or stopping for chitchat in between changing bed sheets. Joining the Shahbazim provides her with the opportunity to take her service to another level. She looks forward to her final in-house training, where she and other members of the Shahbazim will learn all the basics of in-house care. The newlywed particularly anticipates, with nervous excitement, to culinary classes. Before I was married, I was a microwave dinner kind of girl, Ms. Phos admitted. Im still not a very good cook, but Im working on it! Most of all she welcomes the chance to get to know her residents on a more personal level. Often you dont have the time to really sit down with them and talk, get to know their stories, what they did in life, Ms. Phos said. I think thats probably one of the most exciting things we will get to do, just spend more time with the residents. Arlene Crowe, a longtime Claremont resident, is one of 10 people set to move into the new home in July. While the large, stainless steel kitchen is her favorite aspect of the new homeother than its contemporary architectureshe maintains shell leave the cooking to Ms. Phos. Im much better at eating, she conceded. Former director of assets and real property for Pomona College, Ms. Crowe was afforded the opportunity to travel often, but acknowledged that one of her favorite spots was just hours away from her hometown at a house she had built on the lake in Big Bear. While the Evergreen Villa is not a house on a lake, Ms. Crowe says the woodwork and modern appeal make her feel like she is back at home in Big Bear. She looks forward to further making herself at home with other Green House residents and continuing to cultivate the social interactions
she has come to cherish at MSAG. It fills a need, Ms. Crowe said. MSAG officials say they have long since recognized the need for up-to-date skilled nursing care. However, as chairman of the board Amy Fass said in quoting a wellknown Muppets character, Its not easy being green. The road to bringing the Green House concept to California has taken nearly 6 years, fraught with dodging the states long-held beliefs in the way nursing homes need to be regulated. The [Green House] model is alien to the state, Mr. Stoll had explained. Regulations for nursing homes are very specific and have been that way for years. Hundreds of Garden residents, supports and Dr. Bill
Thomas, the man behind the Green House concept, celebrated the Evergreen Villas long-awaited homecoming in grand fashion Wednesday with tours, hors doeuvres and a well-earned champagne toast led by Dr. Thomas. To the making of a good home, the place where we belong, the people we love and the life we deserve, he said. Evergreen Villa residents will be chosen based on seniority at MSAGs current skilled nursing facility. For more on the Greenhouse concept, visit www.greenhouseproject.org.

Beginning this spring, the poster will be displayed on Metro buses and rail cars traveling throughout Los Angeles County. As seen through the eyes of Ms. Polzin McCoy, Claremont is depicted as a series of delicate watercolor vignettes that illustrate the city as a college town that flourishes within the creative environment of the Claremont University Consortium, and opens an informal invitation to visit a backyard, ride a bike, step into a shady grove and attend school. 10:30 a.m. Claremont

Round Mountain brings a world of sound to Claremont
ou might think fitting the folk orchestra Round Mountaina gypsy swirl of accordion, trumpet, guitar, bouzouki, kora, bagpipes and drums on stage at the Claremont Folk Festival would be a logistical nightmare.
In fact, the group is just a duo, consisting of multi-instrumentalist brothers Char and Robby Rothschild. They will be stopping by the festival, set for Saturday, June 15 at the Rancho Santa Anta Botanic Garden, as part of a tour in support of their fourth album, The Goat. As is the case with many good things, it all began with Willie Nelson. When Char and Robby were growing up in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where they still reside, they went on lots of road trips. To help the miles speed by, their parents would play music by the Redheaded Stranger or John Denver, and the whole family would sing along. As they got older, they began to jam, with Char on guitar and Robby on drums, eventually forming a rock band called Lizard House. Their repertoire expanded along with their horizons when, after college, Char went away on a long trip to the Middle East and Robby set out for Ireland. Weve all seen the kitschy shirt sold in souvenir shops: My parents went to [insert destination here] and all they bought me was this lousy T-shirt. As the Rothschilds traveled the world, they didnt bring back much booty for waiting family, either. They returned, instead, with an array of musical instruments and traditions that fueled an increasingly eclectic sound. Robby recalls seeing Char when they met up in Ireland after months of divergent travel. When I had last seen him, he had a backpack and guitar over his shoulder. Now he appeared with this beautiful, smooth wooden Turkish saz, which is a stringed instrument with moveable frets, he said. It was sort of metaphorical, because he went into a new place and emerged with new ideas. The 2 musicians have woven countless ideas into their songs, a tapestry of Irish, West African, Appalachian, Afro Beat, Zimbabwean, Turkish, Roma and Balkan music. It is a mix the Rothschilds manage to make their own. It helps that they are able lyricists, as evinced in the harp-kissed Hundreds of Ships: When you wake up in the night, I will hold your madness/Let the silver river light/ease you of your sadness. Just like their music, the Rothschilds lives are about navigating diverse territory. Char has a 9-year-old daughter and a day job as an elementary school teacher. Robby, who has 3 kids ranging from 8 years to 9 months, is a teacher too. He also composes, and is currently working on an opera about the melding of cultures in the South-

west, from Native American to Anglo. Sometimes I think musicians having families puts the breaks on their musicmaking, Robby said. But its sort of lit a fire under us, in a way. There are songs and stories inspired by our kids, and its like, Oh, wow! These are gifts theyve given us that were moved to try to share. In fact, Char and Robbys experiences as householderswho happen to spend their summers traveling the country inspired the title of their latest album. The goat is one of the first animals who joined with humanity in some kind of partnership. And it represents our hybrid lives, Char said. Its about being at home and working with our families, and then this other, almost nomadic, life we have. Goats also feature literally in their lives. Robby and his wife are propo-
nents of radical homemaking, and tend goats on their suburban farm. Robby also plays a West African hand drum called the djembe, which is made of goatskin. Char plays the gaida, a Bulgarian bagpipe whose name literally translates to the goat. When the COURIER caught up with Round Mountain, they were playing nomad again, driving through Utah on their way to another gig in a Tacoma full of instruments. It feels like a big bus full of people, Char said of the cargo. They have different needs, they thrive in different temperature zones. And sometimes they get rowdy. When the Tacoma reaches Claremont, it will feel like a bit of home for the Rothschilds. They know some people performing at the Claremont Folk Festival, including Moira Smiley, who Char and Robby met when they shared a bill with her at a Colorado wedding. They are also on familiar terms with
Claremonts Folk Music Center, where theyve played a couple times. Entering the Folk Music Center, its walls hung with instruments from around the world, felt like walking into our longlost home, Robby said. The Rothschilds admire the concept of the one-man band, as epitomized by Dick Van Dykes musically-inclined character in the film Mary Poppins. Thats the best scene in that movie to me. I would aspire to be that character, Char said. Burt is one of my heroes, in his busking moment of glory. Its important to remember, however, that Round Mountains multi-instrumentalism is not so much a gimmick as a conduit for expression. The brothers sample-and-borrow technique stems from a philosophy that any creative chef would understand. Imagine you had a recipe that you loved. But then you met someone who had this incredible other recipe for the same dish that had another flavor in it, and youd never tasted anything like it, Char said. If you found that you could get the same flavor with an herb growing in your garden, youd start to experiment with that. People have always been fascinated with incorporating new things with those that are familiar, he continued. Theres an element of world music that has always been part of that continuum. The Claremont Folk Festival runs from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday, June 15. For tickets and information, visit www.folkmusiccenter.com/folk-festival.

COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff Korean War veteran John Serpa and his wife Marge recite the Pledge of Allegiance on Monday during Memorial Day services at Oak Park Cemetery in Claremont. The annual event honored the men and women who died in military service and included speeches, the placing of flowers as tributes and, lastly, the playing of Taps.
Claremont honors those who died defending our country
nder a canopy of large oaks that provided shade from the mid-day sun, a crowd of nearly 100 people gathered on Monday at Claremonts Oak Park Cemetery to remember the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. The annual Memorial Day service, sponsored by the American Legion Keith Powell Post 78, began with music from the Claremont High School Concert Band and included speeches from area leaders, placing of floral tributes, the color guard and musical tributes. Following an introduction from Post 78 Commander Rich Ostrea, Claremonts Congresswoman Judy Chu recalled family members who served the country and remarked that the government must do more for veterans returning from current conflicts around the world. This included calling for an end to the, Backlog of medical claims for veterans. Claremont Mayor Opanyi Nasiali thanked the American Legion for putting on the ceremony and echoed Ms. Chus remarks: Today is a day to remember those who died in service. He also called attention to those wounded or disabled at war and challenged that no veteran should be on the street without care. Though the mood was at times somber, organizers reminded the crowd that Memorial Day is not a time to be sad but an opportunity to celebrate our veterans. The keynote address by 26-year-old Sergeant Steven Schwigert, who served in both Iraq and Afghanistan, said he was honored to speak at the ceremony and asked that the audience honor our veterans and remember the people who died in the recent Oklahoma tornadoes. The service concluded with musical tributes first from bagpiper Mike Terry playing the Scottish Lament and finally Claremont resident Douglas Mendelsohn who played Taps.
Claremont resident Douglas Mendelsohn plays Taps as members of the Claremont High School Concert Band place their hands over their hearts at the conclusion of a Memorial Day service in Claremont on Monday.
After the service a group of veterans at the front included Pearl Harbor survivor James Lee, who survived the attack because he had risen early to attend Mass. I should have been sleeping in my bunk at Schofield Barracks but was on the grounds when the (Japanese) planes came, he said. They completely shot up the
barrack and cut my bunk in half. Coincidentally the keynote speaker Sergeant Schwigert also was assigned to Schofield and noted, It still has the bullet holes, from the attack 72 years ago.

Big serves and tough opponents end CHS tennis season
laremonts top 4 tennis players competed at the University of Redlands last weekend to determine the Division II individual champions in doubles and singles. Cameron and Konrad Lorek took the court as partners, and Andrew and Alan Leahy took aim at the top singles players in the Southland.
A tough day concluded for Claremont athletes when the days top Wolfpack performer Alan Leahy fell in the third round of play to Austin Rapp of Rancho Mirage. The Sierra Leagues number 2 doubles team, the Lorek brothers, partnered to take on Anat Pai and Bon Louie Angeles of Redlands, the Citrus Belt Leagues second-ranked pairing. The Loreks took the match to their opponents knowing they would need to attack the Redlands team and force them to make mistakes. A thrilling first set swung Redlands way, as Pai and Angeles edged the Loreks in a tiebreaker. With that momentum gone, the Loreks fell in the second set, losing 7-6, 6-2 on the day. Andrew Leahy took on senior Mario Sommer from San Gorgonio High and the nation of Germany, whose number-4 national ranking there meant that he posed a formidable threat. Leahy proved no pushover coming in as the Sierra Leagues number-2 singles player. The match was a display of athleticism, with the height and accuracy of Leahy being matched by Sommers speed and agility. Sommer won the first set 6-4, but had a much more difficult time in the second set. After going down 5-2 and chucking his racket against the surface, Leahy found the second wind he needed. Leahy
COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff CHS senior Alan Leahy reacts in frustration after losing a point last Friday during his match against Austin Rapp during the CIF Southern Section 2013 Boys Individual Tennis Regionals in Redlands. Rapp, of Palm Desert High School, defeated Leahy 6-2, 7-6.
used a combination of lethal first serves and angled cross-court groundstrokes to battle all the way back to 6-6 and force a tiebreak. Sommer, however, held his nerve and used a questionable line call to win the tiebreak 7-4. Leahys performance, would clearly be an encouragement to his older brother Alan, who was scheduled to play the next match of the day. Freshman Andrew Leahy described his approach to the match after the loss. I took the pace off the ball and was going for the corners, Leahy said. He is
really quick side-to-side but had nothing on his balls, making him frustrating to play. I wanted to wait for the right shot to pull the trigger, and not show him too many things in a row. He was going to make me beat him. As I start getting stronger I should be able to rip him off the court. My brother and I will work all summer on our game and our physical fitness. Alan Leahys number-one ranking in the Sierra League meant that he took a first round bye, and matched up with
Patrick Cachapero of Redlands. Azusa Pacific-bound Leahy had the size advantage and a number of weapons in his arsenal, including a devastating kick serve and patient groundstrokes. Cachapero had a solid first serve, but proved to be erratic in his hitting, making a number of early unforced errors. Leahy got his man to 5-2 in the first set after a high forehand winner to the advantage side, and a kick serve that nearly bounced over Cachaperos head. Cachapero held serve to make it 5-3, but Leahy finished the set at love with another flawless first serve. The first set would prove that Leahy had what it took to cruise to a straight set victory. Cachaperos resolve dwindled in the second set, and he began to make more mistakes. Leahy sliced an approach winner after an 8-shot rally to make it 1-0, then smacked a forehand down the line to add to his lead. At 5-0, the last game was a formality. Leahy hit a cross-court winner at 30-love, then another overwhelming kick serve to close out the match. Alan Leahy moved on to the third round to face a familiar foe. In a classic match-up, Leahy faced southern Californias third-ranked player Austin Rapp from Redlands. The 2 had met twice before, with Alan winning both prior events, one in CIF team competition and the other in a USTA tournament finals. Rapp took the first set 6-2, as Alan Leahys serve uncharacteristically, needed calibration. After trailing early in the second set, Alan regrouped to go up 65. Rapp was able to hold serve, however, forcing the tiebreak. Rapp squeaked away with the tiebreak win and Alan lost in the third round, bringing his campaign to an end. The last Claremont High athlete in competition is finally finished, a bittersweet conclusion to an exciting sports season. Chris Oakley

THE PETITION requests the decedent's will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held on June 26, 2013 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. 9 located at 111 N. Hill St., Los Angeles, CA 90012. IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is avail-able from the court clerk.

NOTICE OF DIVIDED PUBLICATION Made pursuant to Section 3381, Revenue and Taxation Code Pursuant to Sections 3381 through 3385, Revenue and Taxation Code, the Notice of Power to Sell Tax-Defaulted Property in and for Los Angeles County, State of California, has been divided and distributed to various newspapers of general circulation published in the County. A portion of the list appears in each of such newspapers. NOTICE OF IMPENDING POWER TO SELL TAX-DEFAULTED PROPERTY Made pursuant to Section 3361, Revenue and Taxation Code Notice is hereby given that real property taxes and assessments on the parcels described below will have been defaulted five or more years, or, in the case of nonresidential commercial property, property on which a nuisance abatement lien has been recorded or that can serve the public benefit by providing housing or services directly related to low-income persons when three or more years have elapsed and a request has been made by a city, county, city and county, or nonprofit organization that property will become subject to the Tax Collector's power to sell. The parcels listed will become subject to the Tax Collector's power to sell on July 1, 2013, at 12:01 a.m., by operation of law. The Tax Collector's power to sell will arise unless the property is either redeemed or made subject to an installment plan of redemption initiated as provided by law prior to 5:00 p.m., on June 28, 2013. The right to an installment plan terminates on June 28, 2013, and after that date the entire balance due must be paid in full to prevent sale of the property at public auction. The right of redemption survives the property becoming subject to the power to sell, but it terminates at 5:00 p.m. on the last business day before actual sale of the property by the Tax Collector. All information concerning redemption or the initiation of an installment plan of redemption will be furnished, upon request, by Mark J. Saladino, Los Angeles County Treasurer and Tax Collector, 225 North Hill Street, First Floor, Los Angeles, California 90012. The amount to redeem, in dollars and cents, is set forth opposite its parcel number. This amount includes all defaulted taxes, penalties, and fees that have accrued from the date of tax-default to the date of June 28, 2013. I certify, under penalty of perjury, that the foregoing is true and correct. Dated this 2nd day of May, 2013.
NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE TS No. 12-0021176 Title Order No. 12-0035279 APN No. 8671-026-007 YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST, DATED 11/03/2006. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. Notice is hereby given that RECONTRUST COMPANY, N.A., as duly appointed trustee pursuant to the Deed of Trust executed by JUDY HARVIN, A MARRIED WOMAN, AS HER SOLE AND SEPARATE PROPERTY, dated 11/03/2006 and recorded 11/9/2006, as Instrument No. 20062490147, in Book N/A, Page N/A, of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of Los Angeles County, State of California, will sell on 06/24/2013 at 9:00AM, Doubletree Hotel Los Angeles-Norwalk, 13111 Sycamore Drive, Norwalk, CA 90650, Vineyard Ballroom at public auction, to the highest bidder for cash or check as described below, payable in full at time of sale, all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust, in the property situated in said County and State and as more fully described in the above referenced Deed of Trust. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 2218 GRAND AVENUE, CLAREMONT, CA, 91711. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. The total amount of the unpaid balance with interest thereon of the obligation secured by the property to be sold plus reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $799,308.76. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept cashier's checks drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state. Said sale will be made, in an ''AS IS'' condition, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust, advances thereunder, with interest as provided, and the unpaid principal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as provided in said Note, plus fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on a property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county 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 lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 1-800-281-8219 or visit this Internet Web site www.recontrustco.com, using the file number assigned to this case 12-0021176. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bid-
32
ding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714-573-1965 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site www.priorityposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 20120015001208. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept cashier's checks drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state. Said sale will be made, in an ''AS IS'' condition, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust, advances thereunder, with interest as provided, and the unpaid principal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as provided in said Note, plus fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on a property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 1-800-281-8219 or visit this Internet Web site www.recontrustco.com, using the file number assigned to this case TS No. 10-0116083. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
