A purchaser lives there at his/her own risk. Possibly, there is a better way to protect the city of Claremont from this liability. If so, use it. But by all means, protect the city against liability for long-term health damage to purchasers of the townhomes.

Dear Editor: The Claremont City Council voted 3-2 to authorize a variance in existing zoning to permit construction of a 95-unit townhome complex at Base Line Road and Towne Avenue. This is the same parcel of land that was earlier scouted for a low-income residential development, but whose backers rejected the site partially because of health issues. The site abuts the 210 freeway, and residents will breathe toxic fumes from the road. The soil is also hopelessly contaminated by decades of agricultural chemicals used in the production of strawberries. As matters stand, no one knows how dangerous the long-term health hazards of this site for residents. Hopefully, they are not serious; possibly, they are. Who will be around in 30 years when the residents of these townhomes get the empirical answer from Mother Nature? The builder will be long gone, and possibly out of business. The city of Claremont will still be here and, if any evidence then exists that the site injured the health of residents, higher than expected rates of cancer, for example, whom will the injured parties sue for damages? The city of Claremont. In issuing this variance, the city implicitly warranted the safety of this site for human habitation, and therewith assumed liability should that warrant prove unfounded. In principle, the builder should retain this responsibility but, in reality, the builder has handed it off to the city while securing for himself all the expected profit of the development. The city has assumed an uncompensated risk that, in the language of economics, is called a negative externality. To protect the city against this hazard, I propose that the city council require the

Panhandling in the Village


Dear Editor: Yesterday I was panhandled in the parking lot at the corner of Yale and Fourth Street. I was panhandled on Yale Avenue near the Pizza N Such restaurant. I have been panhandled on the street parking spaces on Harvard Avenue. I have been panhandled in and front of the library. Panhandling has become common in downtown Claremont. Most of the panhandlers are young adults and they are clean and decently dressed. One panhandler is a woman in her sixties who was well-dressed. They do not look destitute; the panhandling is a scam. The city council in Pomona has implemented and enforced a zero-tolerance policy on panhandling. The library has hired security personnel. The situation in downtown Pomona has improved, at least during business hours, despite the fact that Pomona has more truly destitute people and far fewer resources than Claremont. Claremont has to take steps to improve the situation in the Village; it is getting out of hand.

Claremont COURIER/Friday, February 21, 2014

COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff These trees in an east Claremont business park were topped late last year, presumably to keep the leaves from collecting on the buildings flat roof. The Tree Action Group, a subcommittee of Sustainable Claremont, is stepping forward to assist in the development of a comprehensive, city-wide tree policy.

Claremonts urban forest top priority for action group

ity of Trees is more than just a nickname in Claremont. Its a way of life. The areas lush urban forest is a huge draw for many of the citys inhabitants, a notable part of the local landscape since the late 1800s. The ongoing drought and recent debate over the citys tree-trimming policies, however, have called that title into question.
Residents are stepping forward to ensure the proclaimed City of Trees stays that way. Leading this cause is the recently instated Tree Action Group (TAG), a new subcommittee of Sustainable Claremont, playing an active role as the citys community and human services department works to amend its long-standing tree policy. The updated tree manual, currently in the review process, is expected to come before the Claremont City Council this spring. TAG was first formed nearly a year ago by locals taking action against a proposal to remove dozens of mature pines from the Claremont Club neighborhood. Since that time, group members have made it their purpose to educate the community and influence local policy when it comes to Claremonts urban forest. It goes beyond simply calling ourselves the City of Trees. The value of trees here in Claremont is much more than the altruistic aspect of protecting the environment, but defines our communitys culture and livability, said Claremont resident Barnabas Path, who co-chaired TAG along with the late Michael Heilpern, who founded the action committee with his wife, Linda.

Its about quality of life, Mr. Path continued. We dont always recognize that, but you notice when the trees are gone. The citys 81-page Tree Policies and Guidelines Manual was first adopted in 1997 and later revised in June 2011 in an effort to preserve the characteristic community forest. The guidebook also TREES served to dictate a defining set of rules for proper maintenance and enhancement of Claremonts canopy of more than 20,000 trees. Budgetary concerns, however, have been among one of the tree policys biggest obstacles. Tree maintenance is expensive and easily bypassed without immediate recognition of what its costing us, Mr. Path said. Its not that the city doesnt care. They truly do. But because of budgetary pressures, what begins to happen is we eliminate resources assuming we will get to them next year. The immediate effect isnt seen or felt until much later. Without proper maintenance and restoration, the urban forest of Claremonts present may become a part of its past, cautions Mark von Wodtke, a Claremont resident and registered landscape architect who is also among TAGs membership. To combat future uncertainties, Mr. von Wodtke and TAG are advocating for an urban forest master plan to be included as part of the citys tree policy update. The plan would provide foresight in adding and regenerating the citys tree population, and help promote the citys general plan goal of better preserving its existing trees, replacing trees that are damaged or dying, and expanding community forests in newer areas of Claremont. Claremont has a wonderful urban forest, but its rather mature. Like any natural forest, there are con-

stantly new saplings being introduced as older trees die out. We need to be doing that in Claremont, Mr. von Wodtke said. There are newer parts [in town], like Village West, where the urban forest hasnt been fully established. We need a master plan that does that while anticipating where trees will be taken out.

Maintenance and misconceptions s talk over an urban forest master plan continues, Claremont officials look to previously established guidelines as they work to preserve the citys saplings. The code includes contracting with a certified arborist for maintenance of city-owned trees and restricting residents from pruning or removing any city-owned treesthose planted along city streets, in publicly-owned facilities and typically those within eight to 10 feet of a curb in front of a private property. While protocol is in place, protecting local trees sometimes falls out of the control of city sanctions. One of the biggest problems Claremont tree activists have taken issue with is the tree-trimming taking place on private property. It is not uncommon to find trees with branches trimmed bare, like those of a tree found on Indian Hill Boulevard just north of Base Line Road. Examples like this have popped up throughout the city, becoming a running joke that The City of Trees and PhDs is slowly becoming The City of Chumps and Stumps. The damage is in part caused by a common misconception of tree-trimming, according to Mr. von Wodtke. When trees are cut excessively, residents run the risk of having their trees sprout shoots called suckers, that can eventually kill the tree and pose a

A solution to the suit had seemed improbable after a issues surrounding the potential water sys- series of unsuccessful negotiations between the Verbals and the city at the end of last year. In an unexpected tem takeovercity officials have put to turn of events last week, however, Claremont adminisrest an ongoing dispute with Mike and

Residents invited to attend, participate in citys annual priorities meeting

he Claremont City Council will gather tomorrow, Saturday, February 22, at 8 a.m. for the annual priorities meeting. Claremont residents are invited to add their input on a number of city projects and priorities as council members look ahead. Discussion items include gray water, solutions to homelessness, affordable housing strategies, housing and new approaches to sustainability practices. The meeting will take place in City Council Chambers, 225 W. Second St. To view the agenda, visit www.ci.claremont.ca.us.

trators finally conceded, agreeing to pay Mr. Verbal $195,000 to reimburse a portion of his parking fees and legal expenses in exchange for dropping the case. We contend the use of the fees was legally justified and the city did nothing to otherwise harm the Verbals, but recognized a larger risk in litigation. Thus, we paid [Mr. Verbal] to facilitate a resolution, said City Manager Tony Ramos. The citys in-lieu parking fees, the source of the Verbals dispute, were established in the early 1980s as a substitution for business owners who are required to provide a certain amount of designated parking to accompany their business. In-lieu parking fees can come in handy in areas, like the Village, where adding additional parking is not a viable solution because the space is already essentially built out, according to city officials. With encouragement from the city to expand their business, the Verbals paid the city $108,000 ($119,333.66 with interest) in-lieu parking fees in 2002. Because there was not enough room to add 12

new spaces to the already-packed Village area, the Verbals money went toward an in-lieu parking fund, which the Verbals contract said can only be spent for the acquisition and development of off-street parking for the Claremont Village, or reimbursement of private providers of such parking. The Verbals paid an additional $45,000 a few years later. The couple filed the lawsuit in order to recover their parking fees, because they believed the alleged use of the funds to supplement the building of a parking structure on First Street in Village West was a misuse of the money, according to the complaint. Mr. Verbal said he believed the money could only be used for parking in the Village, which at the time of the payment was defined as Fourth Street south to First Street and Indian Hill east to College Avenue, according to the restaurant owner After finding out his funds had been used for the parking structure, Mr. Verbal said he approached the city in hopes of an explanation. Instead, he alleges city staff warned him that if he sued, he could be liable to the citys attorney fees. Not originally intending to file a lawsuit, Mr. Verbal said he would do what it takes to ensure the city holds true to what he believed to be their obligation, even if it meant legal proceedings. Im happy with how its turned out, Mr. Verbal said. Taking the city to court really wasnt my point. I wasnt looking to make a bunch of money. I just wanted what was owed to me. It all worked out.

Police rule Claremont death a suicide A Claremont resident was found dead in the front yard of his home in the 800 block of Tenth Street on Wednesday afternoon. The body was seen by a person driving past the home around 1:30 p.m. Police arrived on scene shortly after. The elderly man was found with a single bullet wound to the head, according to Claremont Lieutenant Mike Ciszek. Police are ruling his death as a suicide. The portion of Tenth Street, from the 800 block to Vanderbilt, remained barricaded into the afternoon as officers waited for the Los Angeles County Coroner to respond to the scene. Thursday, February 13 A resident in the 400 block of Bonita Avenue got out of bed to find an unpleasant surprise on Thursday morning. The tenant awoke to find the back door of her apartment had been pried open sometime during the night. Strangely, though, nothing appeared to be taken and no suspect was found. A report was taken, but there were no witnesses. Friday, February 14 It was a close call for an El Roble Intermediate School student who was struck by a car on her way to school Friday morning. The middle schooler was crossing the street at Harrison and Mountain Avenues just before 8 a.m. when a car failed to yield, hitting her in the intersection. When police first received the call, the girl was stuck underneath the vehicle. By the time officers arrived, the girl had been safely removed and was awake and breathing. She was transported to the hospital for complaint of pain to her neck and back.

hen a tree has been trimmed by a trained arborist, you can hardly tell theyve been there, Mr. von Wodtke said.
Just as trees are falling victim to bad pruning, residents are easy prey for tree trimmers offering their services without disclosing whether they have proper certification, says Drew Ready, a Claremont resident who also works as a certified arborist. In general, I think its a major misconception that anyone that drives a truck and owns a chainsaw understands tree care and follows ANSI A300 Tree Care Standards, Mr. Ready said. Many do, but many do not. In addition to lacking the certification, some tree trimmers do not have the Claremont Business License required to perform services within the city. Because residents are unaware of this, however, work is performed anyhow. The city can do little to stop these practices, but providing public outreach and information is one step that can be taken. Residents may find a list of certified and licensed tree care service providers through the International Society of Arboriculture at www.treesaregood.org/findtreeservices/FindTreeCareService.aspx.

not take place on private property, Mr. Ready, who helped the South Pasadena Natural Resources Commission revise its tree ordinance in years past, would argue Claremonts laws could go a step further in referencing national tree guidelines and implementing an urban forest management plan. This is the first step in developing effective policy and guidelines, Mr. Ready said. We kind of put the cart before the horse when we developed a street tree ordinance without one...We need to bring our ordinance and codes current to protect significant trees on both public and private property from topping, unpermitted removal, or damage during construction. Since our ordinance was developed there have been a lot of changes in the policys best practices. Change is underway as the Claremont Community and Human Services Commission looks to build upon its current tree policies and work towards better public outreach. Feedback received from TAG members and community tree advocates has been an important part of that journey, notes Kathleen Trepa, director of community and human services. Their work is making an impact, she said. Its been a very productive and collaborative process.

Performing a lesson in equality


By John Pixley

ast Friday was February 14. That meant it was Valentines Day. It meant a day of celebrating love and romance. It meant long-stemmed roses and romantic dinners for two, red and pink cards and secret, and not-so-secret, admirers. The day was about sweet candies and sweet nothings.
The day was also about women and girls getting raped and abused. It also meant women in Africa, the Middle East and other places were having their genitalia mutilated, their legs and arms pulled out from their sockets, their faces burned with acid. It was also a day for all the women who dont get candy and sweet nothings but who get cut, tortured and damagedbecause they are women. Last Friday, February 14, was also about the one in three American women who are sexually assaulted in their lifetimes and about the 300,000 female students at colleges and universities in the US who are raped and harassed each year. Thats because February 14 is also V Day, a day to remember, support and stand for women and girls who are victims of violence. It was a reminder on Valentines Day that all is not sweets and red roses for far too many women and girls, simply because they are women and girls and not only in far-off countries. All this should have particular resonance in Claremont, with all of its colleges and its significant population of maturing students for most of the year. And it was, indeed, appropriate that all this was part of Eve Enslers message when she spoke at the Atheneaum at Claremont McKenna College earlier this month. Ms. Ensler should know about all this; she started V Day 15 years ago. That was a few years after she wrote The Vagina

observer
Monologues in 1996. The Vagina Monologues is arguably what Ms. Ensler is most known for, with the series of monologues celebrating femininity having been performed by hundreds of famous actresses and countless college students over the years. Many of the performances and readings of this seminal work have taken place on or around V Day, no doubt pleasing Ms. Ensler, who is recognized as an activist as well as a playwright, performer and author. At the after-lunch talk, coming on the heels of the publication of her newest book, In the Body of the World: A Memoir, she discussed her work as an activist, using her writing and her connections in the theater world to raise awareness of and get support to women and girls who have been abused and violated. This work has included going to Africa to sit with and hold women who were bloodied and wounded, if not broken, by gender violence. It has included raising funds, often through performances of The Vagina Monologues, for hospitals that help these women. Furthermore, this work, as Ms. Ensler shared with the large audience at CMC, stemmed from being abused as a child and was boosted by a frightening and painful bout with cancer. She noted that when ones body has been violated and hurt, it is all too easy to separate not only from oneself but also from others and their pain. Her work is her effort to fight this. But it definitely hasnt been all pain and work for Ms. Ensler. She spoke of being thrilled about how people reacted to The Vagina Monologues and then

rallied behind V Day. She talked about how happy she is that there are places like House of Ruth and Crossroads here in Claremont and about how excited she is about her recent project, One Billion Rising, getting people around the world to dance and march on V Day. Her presentation ended with a remarkably moving short video featuring a montage of images from last years One Billion Rising (check it out on YouTube). There is still work to be done. Ms. Ensler acknowledged this in answering a question from a young woman who said she is bothered by men like Troy Perry and Jackson Katz, who have both spoken at The Colleges in recent years and have perfectly good intentions, saying that violence against women is a mens problem, with men needing to stand up and speak out against it. She agreed that this is a human problem and that the notion of a womens problem and a mens problem, although all too natural, might not be helpful. When Ms. Ensler began her talk, she asked if there were any vagina activists in the audience. There was a big cheer from the many women present. When she asked if there were supporters of vagina activists, there was weak applause from the men scattered among the tables. Come on! Ms. Ensler chided. We have some work to do. When it comes to men and women, things are still out of balance. Indeed, I noticed I was the only man waiting in the line to get in after lunch. (Two other guys came in later.) I also noticed, while waiting in the line, a young woman wearing a T-shirt saying I (heart) my vagina. Yes, it was provocative, but I wondered how much more provocative, if not crazy and obscene, it would be if a man wore a T-shirt that said, I (heart) my penis.

CUSD seeks input on the Local Control Funding Formula at community forum
A community forum will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 27 at El Roble Intermediate School to allow guests to weigh in on the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) and Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP). Those in attendance will be informed on the topics as well as the districts priorities moving forward and its accomplishments. The LCFF is a way of providing funding to schools through a simpler needbased formula for students. It provides decision-making power to local education agencies, and empowers the districts to act based on student needs. The LCAP allows the LCFF to be transparent and serves as a way to share performance data, needs, actions and anticipated outcomes that guide the use of available funding.

This will have significant effects on communities throughout California, including Claremont and the Inland Empire.
Water for homes and businesses may have to be rationed and its cost is likely to increase significantly. Consumers are sure to face steeper prices for produce at the grocery store, as significant farmland in the Central Valley will lie fallow this year. These severe conditions have received national attention from President Obama, who visited drought-stricken Central California and declared the drought in Californiathe countrys top farming statea national issue. He also highlighted the role of climate change, a hot international topic, as well. The danger of water shortages around the globe presents a major challenge, and the serious-

ness of our current drought makes this an opportune time to discuss the issues and solutions related to water scarcity. On Saturday, March 1 from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (doors open at 8:30 a.m.), The American Institute for Progressive Democracy (TAIPD) and its co-sponsors are hosting a conference to discuss the issue of water scarcity and possible solutions. There will be four sessions global, national, California and southern Californiawith five academics and six water professionals speaking, with a Q&A period at each session. The conference will be held at Garrison Theater, Scripps College, 231 E. Tenth St., Claremont, at the corner of Dartmouth and Tenth.

The age of plastic


by Wesley Mason

lastic bags. Plastic, plastic, plastic. It seems like every year more plastic products appear in our lives. In many ways, we are now in the age of plastic as much as the information age.

Demystifying
SUSTAINABILITY
they go into the Mid-Valley Landfill in Rialto. Many others are put in the household recycling bins, but they cannot be processed at the regular recycling facility because they get in the way or gum up the equipment. Then they are sent to the landfill. However, that is not the end of the story. Over the several hundred years it takes for them to break down, smaller particles and component chemicals will enter the soil and ground water with uncertain effects. Many of them will not reach or stay in the landfill and, instead, get blown into the wind. These bags end up in the waterways and make their way to the ocean in large numbers. One study recently showed that trash found in a catch basin cleanout from the Los Angeles River was 43 percent plastic film and plastic bags (California Coastal Commission Report, June 2006). Once in the ocean, plastic products, including bags and particles and pieces from the bags, cause widespread and increasing effects. According to a European Commission report, many animals are known to have suffered from entanglement or ingestion of plastic marine litter. In the North Sea, the stomachs of 94 percent of all birds contain plastic. A December Los Angeles Times article reported on a new problem: The plastisphere, a marine ecosystem that starts with bacteria on particles of discarded plastic....Scientists fear it might host pathogens and leach dangerous chemicals. The proportion of shoppers who choose to bring

Plastic is a general term for a large number of synthetic (human-made) substances, called organic polymers, usually from petroleum. By some estimates, 10 percent of the oil pumped out of the ground goes to plastic production. Plastics can be molded and shaped in an infinite number of ways, replacing such traditional materials as rubber, plant fiber, wood, glass or metals. The bad news about plastics is that they dont go back where they came from when we finish with them. They dont return to nature, but just break into smaller and smaller pieces and continue to fill up our environment. I have carried reusable shopping bags and tried to avoid single-use plastic shopping bags for many years, initially with the thought that it was such a waste to take something made from a non-renewable sourcepetroleumuse it briefly, and then throw it away. Over the years, I have become increasingly aware that there is no away on our planet. Everything goes somewhere and often has unintended effects. Those single-use bags are already having significant adverse environmental effects, particularly to numerous animal species. According to Californians Against Waste, Californians use 13 billion plastic bags a year. That would work out to 13 million plastic bags here in Claremont, roughly eight bags per person every day! Most of those bags are used once for 20 minutes, and then

their own bags has remained quite small. Although I feel virtuous when I decline the plastic bag in the store, I dont think I have inspired many others. Even smaller numbers return the bags to the store for possible recycling. It just isnt that easy to make that extra effort without some incentive. If we really want to reduce this source of undesirable plastic in our world, legislation to change the rules of the game is needed. The case against the use of throw-away plastic bags has been strong for years. But only recently have significant numbers of California regulations passed to stop their use, particularly after the California Supreme Court ruled that local jurisdictions can pass and enforce such ordinances. In the past two or three years, Los Angeles and Pasadena, as well as 90 more California cities and counties, have passed ordinances restricting or banning the use of plastic carry-out bags. Bills restricting the use of these bags at stores have twice been defeated by narrow margins in the state legislature, but now a new proposal has been introduced that seems to stand a better chance. Claremont has not passed any kind of restriction, apparently from a concern that shoppers will desert our city for Pomona or Montclair or Upland. We could take action now or we could wait (and hope) for successful action by the state legislature. Removing throw-away plastic bags from our environment is only one of many steps needed to reduce the adverse impact of our way of life on our world, but it is one we can take now.

OBITUARIES
and worked as an instructional library aide for the ESSA Reading program before joining the workforce as an office manager. She retired in 2004 but continued to work part-time until 2010. She was a hard worker and was dubbed Jean the Machine during her career. Along with her district position, she worked at the Los Angeles County Fair for 34 years at the P-Nuttles stand located across from the clock tower at the Fairplex. She started as a sampler and sales clerk before advancing to a management position. She was also known to play a pony or two through hot tips from longtime customers. Ms. Nist also worked at the US post office in Pomona on Monterey Avenue during Christmastime from the mid to late 1960s. She took great pride in helping sort the letters for Santa to send to the North Pole. Out of all of the positions that Ms. Nist held, her greatest role was that of a fiercely loyal mother. In her free time, she enjoyed baking, sewing and crafting. She always shared all she had with others, her family noted. Her gifts would show up unexpectedly at any time and for any occasion, family shared. She was an independent woman with a style all her own. She would wear Birkenstock sandals and carry Dooney & Bourke purses. When the weather turned chilly, she had a stockpile of about 100 sweatshirts to choose from. Ms. Nist is preceded in death by her only sibling, James Michael Spencer; and sons, Jeffery Michael Nist and Joseph Spencer Nist. She is survived by her son, Jon Thomas Nist of Claremont; daughter, Joni Catherine Sullivan of Coeur dAlene, Idaho, three grandsons and one great-granddaughter. A memorial service was previously held at the Todd Memorial Chapel.

Jean Ann Nist died Monday, February 10, 2014. She was 80. Ms. Nist was born on December 17, 1933 in Rochester, Indiana to Nobelene Helen Brooker Spencer and Eugene A. Spencer. She graduated from Rochester Joint High School in 1951 where she was known as Speed. In school, she sang in the Girls Glee Club, played french horn in the band and was a member of the Thespian Society where she was part of We Shook the Family Tree as Sally. Outside of school, she worked for The Chester White Journal. She also did a brief stint as a soda jerk at the local drugstore, securing a long-term passion for pop and ice cream. In 1960, she moved to Pomona and became involved with the Pomona Unified School District, first as a room mother and then joining the ParentTeacher Association. She served as an officer for the PTA, eventually as president,

Everett Tozier
Noted Claremont architect, WWII pilot
Former Claremont resident and noted architect Everett Tozier died peacefully at his home in Port Angeles, Washington after suffering a stroke. He was 94. A native of southern California, Mr. Tozier initially attended UC Berkeley. During World War II, he trained as a B-25 bomber pilot, flying in 74 missions over France, Italy and Sicily and receiving the Distinguished Flying Cross in 1944. Following the war, he pursued his architecture degree from the University of Southern California. Mr. Toziers legacy in the Claremont and Pomona areas includes fire stations, private residences, college buildings, banks, stables and churches. His career included serving as chair of the Planning Commission in Pomona and, in 1969, he and the late William Abbott formed Tozier and Abbott Architects in Claremont. Tozier and Abbott Architects went on to design a number of projects including the Albert Thille Botany Building at Pomona College, joint science facilities for The Claremont Colleges and the First Baptist Church of Pomona, among others. Claremont architect Mark von Wodtke worked with Tozier and Abbott in the early 1970s. I really admired him. He was a talented architect, Mr. von Wodtke recalled. As an employer, I appreciated him because he had real expertise and I learned a lot from him. I really enjoyed getting to know Everett. He was a wonderful man. During the 1970s, Mr. Tozier and his firm worked to develop a plan for Yale Avenue, which at the time was a typical small-town commercial strip. The addition of Tozier and Abbott structures like the Bank of California in 1970 [now California Bank & Trust] and Yale Avenues first outdoor caf at the Danson was the stimulus for transforming the Village, Mr. von Wodtke noted. Outdoor cafs are now a very big part of the Village, he said. Everett was in-

strumental in making that happen in the early days. Mr. Tozier is also known for his design of the free-standing stair structure on the north side of the Harvard Square building. The stairwell was an addition to the original Village Theater, designed and built in 1939 by Sumner Spaulding, a prominent Los Angeles architect. During this time, Mr. Tozier was also involved with an art gallery in Claremont, Gallery 8, which was located on Bonita and Harvard Avenues. Mr. Tozier retired to Port Angeles in 1992. He was also a passionate and skilled golfer, his family shared. He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Jean; a son, Bill, and his wife Sarah of Port Angeles; and a daughter, Ann, and her husband Joe Blommer of June Lake, California. He also leaves behind his sister Vivian of Eureka, California and four adoring grandchildren.

Druckers legacy continues with short documentary film

rom the pages of notable authors book to the everyday tasks of ordinary people, anything can inspire a legacy. For local Claremont filmmaker Karen McMillen and the Claremont Graduate University, Peter Drucker has left an indelible mark.

Mr. Drucker, who died in 2005 at the age of 95, contributed to the world of management and is credited with building the foundations of the modern corporation. By sharing his life on film, Ms. McMillen has left her own mark and was recently recognized with a bronze Telly Award in history and biography for her short film, Peter Drucker: An Enduring Legacy. The Telly Awards were founded in 1978 to honor excellence in local, regional and cable TV commercials, with non-broadcast video and TV program categories added shortly thereafter. The 34th Annual Telly Awards received over 12,000 entries from all 50 states and five continents. Before Ms. McMillens award-winning documentary, Joseph Maciariello, professor of social science and management, would share his stories of working with Mr. Drucker with incoming students. He was mentored by the schools namesake and assisted in the writing and editing of some of Mr. Druckers works. When Mr. Maciariello retired last summer, a new way to share the Drucker legacy was needed. We wanted to produce a video to show at our orientations so that new students would have a greater understanding of Peters life and his legacy, administrative dean Leslie Negritto said. For the Drucker documentary, Ms. Negritto gave a list of possible people to interview, the basic message they wanted the video to have and allowed Ms. McMillen to take it from there. The pair worked closely on several short videos that are featured on the Drucker YouTube channel. She is very creative. I dont need to spell everything out for her. She understands the mission for the school and what were trying to portray and she can run with that and design it in any way and it comes out great, Ms. Negritto said. Ms. McMillen graduated with a liberal arts degree from the University of Arizona, not really knowing what she wanted to do after school. It was then she got a position with Fanlight Productions, a small production company in Boston. Through her involvement with the company, she fell in love with the process of making documentaries. While working at Fanlight, Ms. McMillen held varPhoto courtesy of CGU Professor Peter Drucker lectures to a class at the Claremont Graduate School, now Claremont Graduate University, in this undated photograph.

ious positions including producer and project manager. She managed short documentaries on health care, mental health, disability and social issues. She also learned the importance of documentary making from Fanlight founder and Academy Award-nominated documentarian, Ben Achtenberg. He taught me what documentary storytelling is about and why it is so important. I am so thankful for the time that I had with him, Ms. McMillen said. After 10 years of working with other production companies, Ms. McMillen decided to start McMillen Media and Communications. Since 2007, she has produced films for the Getty Museum, Smithsonian Institution, Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, Claremont

Graduate University and the Drucker School. Although she was officially commissioned for the project in the spring of 2013, Ms. McMillen collected interviews and materials over the past three years anticipating the creation of a documentary.

he more I learned about him the more motivated I was. He was such a visionary and his ideals were really grounded in strengthening society and the wellbeing of individuals and society, Ms. McMillen said.
With countless accomplishments and contributions to the world of business and management to consider, Ms. McMillen carefully pieced together the 12minute documentary in a little over five months. Though she had several other shorter videos being made at the same time, she made the longer project in time to be shown at orientation in August 2013. The documentary follows Mr. Druckers life from Vienna in 1909 to when he came to CGU in 1971. Once at CGU, he created the executive education program. Through interviews with associates, professors, family and friends, students are able to see the big picture that influences the curriculum to this day. With all of the different courses, there are different pieces of his philosophies that [students] learn about and how they apply to different courses. This is important because it gives everyone a standard introduction to who Peter was before they begin their studies, Ms. Negritto said. The documentary is featured on the Drucker School of Management website at www.cgu.edu/pages/130.asp and is searchable on YouTube.

Business owners breathe life into thriving Old School House

fter years of decay and construction delays, the halls of the Old School House complex are bustling with business once more, and the centers storekeepers are ready to celebrate.
Business owners will honor the plazas newest chapter with a fitting tribute to its past. Next weekend the Griswolds art fairs, once a weekly gem of the Foothill Boulevard landmark, will make a long-awaited return. The Old School House center, known for its food thanks to the once-famous Griswolds Smorgasbord, has also left its mark as a mecca for art in the Claremont community. In the 1970s, hundreds would travel to take part in the centers weekend art fairs, enjoying a meal and watching the art demonstrations. With Rediscover the Old School Housetaking place on Saturday, March 1 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.and continuing with quarterly art extravaganzas, the tenants hope to draw the crowds out to Route 66 once more. Its time to breathe a little more life into the property, said Mindy Teuber, assistant producer at The Candlelight Pavilion. People never really get the chance to step into the courtyard here and see how nice it is. We want to provide a space where locals can come spend a fun day here while also bringing a little piece of the history back. Signs of struggle seem a distant memory at the recently renovated schoolhouse. Students scurry into their classes at the Moultrie Academy of Music, Voice and Dance, and patrons mill about for a bite to eat at Casa De Salsa or Buca di Beppo, while hundreds can be found on any given weekend crowding into The Candlelight. The picture hasnt always been this rosy for the Old School House tenants; the shopping center has gone through its fair share of ups and downs over the years. The lot first gained fame in town for housing the original Claremont High School, built on the corner of Indian Hill and Mesa (now Foothill) boulevards in 1911. The school was built to accommodate the towns surging student population. After its stint as a schoolhouse, the space became known in and out of town as a Route 66 hotspot because of the restaurant and bakery at Griswolds Smorgasbord. Despite the popular staples, the center suffered periodic states of decline over the past several decades. The Old School House was vacated as a high school in 1963, and Griswolds became a thing of the past in the 1990s. Changes in management also proved to be a hardship. Businesses like The Candlelight Pavilion and Crimson Cottage continued to operate despite the difficulties presented by the crumbling complex. The tale turned around when the city stepped in to help revitalize the space. While construction proved its own obstacle, the Old School House is now a far cry from the seemingly-deserted

COURIERphoto/Steven Felschundneff Property manager Ying Lee speaks with Mindy Teuber of Candlelight Pavilion and Carly Moultrie of Moultrie Academy on Tuesday at the Old School House in Claremont. The three business people have been key in re-launching the art fairs that were common at the Old School House 30 years ago.

A coalition of business leaders at the revitalized Old School House want to bring back the art fair on a quarterly basis. The first fair will take place next Saturday, March 1 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

marketplace of its past, insists Property Manager Ying Lee. It has been really difficult over the past eight years, Mr. Lee said. Now, with all the support we have received, this place has really transformed. The newly-formed Old School House Marketing Group, led by Carly Moultrie of The Moultrie Academy and Mick Bollinger of The Candlelight Pavilion, hopes to continue the centers success story. Bringing back the popular art fairs, once a tradition in the Moultrie household, seemed like a natural way to start. Like in years past, local vendors will crowd the central courtyard with jewelry-crafting, soap-making and other artistic demonstrations, and visitors will

enjoy performances by the Moultrie Academy and some of our four-legged friends courtesy of The Zoom Rooms dog trainers. Casa De Salsa will be serving up $2 tacos and Buca di Beppo will be pitching in some of its famous pasta. To add further incentive, guests will receive a raffle ticket for every shop they visit that afternoon regardless of purchase. Raffle tickets will be entered into a drawing for a variety of prizes to be given out throughout the day, gift certificates to The Candlelight Pavilion and Tutti Mangia among them. Though the Old School House folks have their hands full planning Saturdays soiree, which will take place rain or shine, eyes are already set on future

celebrations. A Cinco De Mayo shindig is planned for May 3, a Welcome Back to the Old School House is in the works for September 13 and a Home for the Holidays tree lighting extravaganza will take place November 29. If these events are successful, its not out of the question that more frequent art fairs will follow. For the time being, shop owners look forward to sharing their present successes. With all the new businesses here and everything that is going on, we want everyone who stopped coming because of all the construction to come back and enjoy, Ms. Moultrie said. The more the merrier. The Old School House is located on the northwest corner of Indian Hill and Foothill boulevards. Vendors interested in taking part in the party on March 1 may contact Ms. Teuber at teuber@ candlelightpavilion.com.

Here, colors are built up from multiple layers of glazes applied as thin crosshatched lines. I can achieve depth and translucency of color while making the same strokes I use in drawing and printmaking. BUNNY GUNNER GALLERY: 254 W. Bonita Ave., Claremont.

Mr. Baden graduated from Pomona College in 1958 and returned 10 years later to take on the roles of professor of art, department chair and gallery director.

In over 60 years as an artist, Mr. Hammersley produced a wide range of drawings, from naturalistic portraits to

computer-generated drawings. This exhibition showcases the range of Mr. Hammersleys work and is made possible in part by the generous donation of art works from the Frederick Hammersley Foundation.

The uncertain future (and present) for adjunct professors


by John Norvell

ere in the City of Trees and PhDs, some trees are more valued than others, and the same is true for PhDs.
Colleges and universities have long employed part-time instructors to cover unanticipated leaves and resignations or to take advantage of a visiting scholar on leave from a permanent job elsewhere. In recent years, these non-contractual instructors have swelled to 66 percent of the teaching load of the average private, non-profit school. Our close neighbor, the University of La Verne, is right on this average; the wealthier Claremont Colleges are generally more restrained in their use of adjuncts, and community colleges average over 80 percent. Sometimes these adjunct or contingent instructors have full-time jobs outside the institution and teach to keep a foot in the academic world. The dirty secret about adjuncts, however, is that most are fully qualified for and are actively seeking permanent, fulltime teaching jobs. We are stymied principally because of the steadily dwindling number of permanent positions available. I know because I have taught as an adjunct at area schools for nine years since arriving in Claremont as a trailing spouse and beginning to seek a permanent position. The yawning chasm of difference in security and opportunity that the two-tier faculty system opens on the basis of small to negligible differences in skill and achievement is unmatched in the contemporary world of work. Ladder faculty, who may be hired initially with few or no publications, are rewarded with generous pay and benefits that afford winter and summer sessions free for research and publication and many other tangible forms of career support. Those who miss this brass ring

VIEWPOINT
and want to stay in academia get a fraction of the pay, no benefits, semester-bysemester insecurity, and few opportunities to advance. We teach two or three times the number of courses to earn one half or less the salary of permanent professors. Few who stay more than a couple of years will ever cross over. Our years of heavy, dedicated classroom teaching not only do not count as experience but rather stigmatize us and increasingly weigh against the possibility of a real career. Universities would seem to be unlikely sites for the cost-cutting staffing strategies invented in fast food and retail: low wages, employment kept below the threshold for benefits and just-in-time flexibility that keeps the worker in a state of perpetual uncertainty and anxiety. Permanent faculty and academic administrators cannot help but feel deeply ambivalent about these changes at the heart of what is unarguably the core mission of the university. An organizational structure that distributes wealth so inequitably and squanders talent so carelessly is a deep source of shame for institutions dedicated to public service and inhabited by people of broadly liberal sensibility. Claremonters making college enrollment (or donation) decisions this spring should try to look beyond the razzle-dazzle of shiny facilities, amenities and student life staff and ask hard questions about the nature and conditions of the faculty work force. A high percentage of adjunct teaching means that your professors will be worked to the bone, dividing their time and attention between large classes at far-flung colleges and universities. They

will be excluded from formal mentoring roles and campus discussions about curriculum and policy. They will have no time or resources for professional development or scholarship, and will be working without the protections of academic freedom that have traditionally ensured an open and lively scholarly community. It is especially troubling that institutions like the California state universities, community colleges and the University La Verne, which serve disadvantaged populations, would try to cut corners exactly at the primary point of

learning for these vulnerable students. Adjunct conditions may be somewhat improved by unionization, recently approved by adjunct faculty at Whittier College and a few other institutions around the country, and currently scheduled for votes at the University of La Verne and Loyola Marymount. But what is truly needed is a concerted effort across academia to end the use of excessive adjunct labor and give us a shot at doing the work we love with the dignity and security that every worker deserves.

Anthrax therapy takes KGI team to semi-finals

ith a new therapy being developed by Keck Graduate students, the fear of opening your mail will soon be a thing of the past. A group of students from KGI have formed Klondike Therapeutics, a team dedicated to providing new therapies against anthrax. The therapies are expected to be FDA approved within three to five years after an efficacy study in animals and Phase 1 human safety trials. The team consists of assistant professor Mikhail Martchenko, PhD candidate William Leonardi and master of bioscience students Kevin Kim and Leeor Zilbermintz. The lethal effects of anthrax are due to its spores and the toxins they produce. We have discovered a single molecule which inhibits anthrax toxin and kills

Bacilli spores, without affecting host cell growth, Mr. Martchenko explained in a press release. The team is currently in the semi-finals period of the OneStart Americas business plan competition. Beginning with more than 130 teams submitting proposals, the competition has been narrowed down to 35. OneStart focuses on young bio-entrepreneurs with early-stage startups that may have more difficulty getting support from more traditional sources of funding. Winners of the competition will receive $150,000 and free lab space for a year in San Francisco, as well as business and legal support. On April 1, the team will make its second submission to see if they are selected to continue to the finals.

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 PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On March 4, 2014 at 09:00 AM, behind the fountain located in Civic Center Plaza, 400 Civic Center Plaza, Pomona CA 91766, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded on February 24, 2006 as Instrument No. 06 0412522 of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Los Angeles County, California, executed by MARTIN ZURATI, A SINGLE MAN, as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC. as nominee for AMERICA`S WHOLESALE LENDER as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold as is. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 901 GOLDEN SPRINGS DRIVE UNIT, #D8, DIAMOND BAR, CA 91765-1185 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustees Sale is estimated to be $245,757.80 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiarys bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashiers check 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 California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustees Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidders sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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 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 Priority Posting and Publishing at 714-573-1965 for information regarding the Trustee's Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA05002597-13-1. 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.

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 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) 848-9272 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub.com, using the file number assigned to this case 12-19107. 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.

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 recorders office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

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 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustees sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-13589090-JP . 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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagees Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders rights against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations.

The slow start for 2014 continues as Claremonts new listing inventory remains scarce. Total housing inventory remains low too, with only around 50 homes on the market. Some of Januarys statistics are misleading, as sales were actually lower than this time last year. Because of several high dollar home sales, the averages shifted upwards. Some of these homes were actually on the market for several years. Buyer demand remains strong as ready buyers continue to wait for the right home to open up in the community. Interest rates remain low in the four percent range, though are expected to rise this year. Timing is everything in real estate, but also helped make for an unusual month of January.
