Council gets it right
Dear Editor: For those with the patience and fortitude to brave long agendas, the final item addressed at the Tuesday, July 10 meeting of the Claremont City Council proved most rewarding. On a vote of 3 to 1 with one abstention, the council approved a resolution condemning the Supreme Courts Citizens United decision and calling for the adoption of a Constitutional amendment stipulating that 1) corporations and unions are not persons; 2) money is not speech; 3) political contributions should be openly reported and 4) governments have the right to limit such contributions. The discussion was thoughtful and often eloquent. Among the impressive contributions was Mayor Larry Schroeders examination of the contention that consideration of national issues exceeded the province of council business and was therefore inappropriate. While admitting that the council could not and should not address all such issues, the mayor argued that as part of the political structure, it has a responsibility to call out decisions at the state and national levels that endanger the health of the system as a whole, and that the infusion of unlimited and unreported money into the political process posed just such a dire threat to our democracy. In taking this action, the Claremont City Council has joined the state of California, 22 other states and hundreds of other cities across the country in this effort to seek redress from the corrupting consequences of the courts decision. Good work, guys!

For us and many of our friends who are in the same circumstances, the Dial-a-Ride service is a Godsend. In order for the service to be maintained and even expanded, we would be more than glad to have the 75 cents basic charge doubled or even increased to $2. Even now

Council takes stand on Citizens United through adoption of resolution
he city council adopted a resolution by a 3-1 vote, with one abstention, Tuesday night calling for legislators to amend the Constitution in an attempt to limit corporate influence in politics.
Legal limits on corporate spending in politics were expanded as a result of Citizens United vs. Federal Elections Committee, in CITIZENS which the Supreme Court UNITED ruled that corporations, like individuals, have a right to protection under the First Amendments free speech clause. The Supreme Court ruled that financial donations should be protected under free speech and limiting donation amounts by corporations would violate the Constitution. The citys resolution proclaims that only people are citizens and that money is not free speech. As such, the city council is urging the legislature to grant the right of the people to regulate campaign spendingdirectly or indirectlyand to include spending as a part of the public record. Supporting council members Sam Pedroza, Joseph Lyons and Larry Schroeder called for the resolution charging that Citizens United has a direct effect on the political process in Claremont elections. In his closing statement at the meeting, the mayor referred to Claremonts ordinance
that limits individual campaign contributions to $250. Though the Citizens United decision will not affect local rules on direct donations, some council members believe that protecting corporate donations as free speech may have an ancillary, negative impact on campaigning in Claremont. I think its imperative that we pass this resolution so it doesnt interfere with our intent and our politics here in Claremont, Mr. Schroeder said. Large corporate or union or other entity funding has no place in a community like ours. Although it does cost to run a local campaign, its at the heart of campaigns in Claremont that citizens should have the right to choose based on a candidates qualifications rather than some entity attempting to influence voters by outrageously spending on one candidate over another. Not all were in agreement. Mayor Pro Tem Opanyi Nasiali cast the sole dissenting vote, with Councilmember Corey Calaycay choosing to abstain. Mr. Nasiali was supportive of the proposal to lobby state representatives, but did not want the council to take an official stance. To Mr. Nasiali, the issue would be better handled at the federal and state level. Today Citizens United, and tomorrow it may be the repeal of Obamacare, said Mr. Nasiali. Im afraid that if this council goes down the road of reacting to such controversial cases every time, even if they will affect our residents...we could be bogged down.
In June 2011, the council unanimously added a clause to its list of best practices, stating that the council would refrain from taking a stance on policy matters that were unrelated to local jurisdiction. Mr. Calaycay, like Mr. Nasiali, said he was uncomfortable taking a position on a case like Citizens United, which he felt goes against the councils agreed-upon best practices. My vote would put 36,000 people on the record as being for or against the issue, Mr. Calaycay explained of his decision. There are certain controversial issues we have to deal with in town, but I prefer to not get involved in more than we have to. According to Mr. Lyons, Citizens United falls well within the purview of local government and its responsibility to safeguard its citizens. The council will take its adopted resolution a step further by amending the resolution to notify state legislators and other local municipalities of its decision in an effort to prompt further action. We have allowed...the influence of money and politics to simply direct the game. To me, this is the greatest threat to democracy in America, Mr. Lyons said. When we are failed at other levels of government that are supposed to do their service to people within our community, it is our responsibility to publicly call to account those failures.

CUSD partners with city to fund police command center
hen the Claremont Police Department buys a new mobile command center, a purchase expected to take place within the next 6 months, they will be getting a little help from the Claremont Unified School District.
Acting on behalf of the local police, the city recently asked the district to contribute to the purchase of the vehicle, which is expected to cost between $1.4 million and $1.6 million. The district has agreed, reported Lisa Shoemaker, assistant superintendent of business services, at the Thursday, June 21 meeting of the CUSD board of education. One rationale behind the request, she shared, is that Claremont High School would be a likely staging ground for emergency operations should a large-scale crisis occur. The high school served as an emergency operations headquarters during the Grand Prix fire of 1993, according to Captain Jon Traber of the Claremont Police Department. The new mobile command vehicle is meant to take the place of the police departments emergency operation center located above city hall, which Claremont Chief of Police Paul Cooper says fails to fulfill county space requirements. In an agreement hammered out between former interim CUSD Superintendent Gloria Johnston and City Manager Tony Ramos, the district has pledged to contribute $20,000 per year towards the new mobile emergency vehicle for the next 3 years. The funds are coming from safety credits, which are awarded to the district through its workers compensation and liability programs as an incentive for safety training and other safety-promoting measures. Safety credits may be used for the one-time purchase of items that help to reduce the occurrence and severity of employee work-related injuries and district claims.
At the high school, securing the windows so that sawdust and mold dont fly into them when theyre working on themthat would seem to be a good expenditure.
Joe Tonan Teacher, Sumner Elementary
Ms. Shoemaker noted that the district has, in the past, used safety credits to purchase ergonomic equipment for employees. Other possible uses for safety credits are personal protective equipment (i.e. steel toe/metatarsal guard shoes, gloves, safety glasses and respirators); safety and/or health-related in-services, workshops and seminars (including travel) relative to employee protection; pre-placement physicals and drug and alcohol testing. [Safety credits] can be used for...things that contribute to the general safety and wellbeing of our staff, students and families, Ms. Shoemaker said. We do not commit them to ongoing expenditures, as we never know when our experience may be such that we do not receive any credits. The majority of funding for the new vehicle is coming from a $1.1 million tech grant the city received in 2009, specifically designated for the purchase of a mobile command unit. Another $100,000 has been raised via the sale of the Claremont polices previous mobile command unit, which is 11 years old, to the city of Calexico. The city has also reached out to the Claremont Colleges to help fund the vehicle, a request still under consideration, according to Mr. Ramos. The word vehicle doesnt really begin to describe the new mobile command unit, which will be a 53-foot truck
rig with a large tractor, said Captain Traber. Picture an 18-wheeler like you see on the open road, he said. Captain Traber notes that mobile command vehicles of the sort the city is currently pricing are designed to be stand-alone emergency operation centers. They include seating and redundant communication systemstelephone communications, landline access and, if the former 2 systems fail, satellite capability. Communication with the school district during an emergency is critical, Captain Traber said. They would clearly be involved in any emergency operations we were involved in. Joe Tonan, a sixth grade teacher at Sumner Elementary and the former president of Claremonts faculty union, expressed some dismay over the districts decision to help fund the new police vehicle. It just surprised me, and the teachers were unaware of this large expenditure. Teachers were not asked about it, he said. It would have been good if Dr. Johnston had asked teachers to get their insight into it, or their opinion on whether this was needed. Mr. Tonan said there are numerous other safety needs within the district that need to be addressed. At the high school, securing the windows so that sawdust and mold dont fly into them when theyre working on themthat would seem to be a good expenditure, he said. Mr. Ramos emphasized that the mobile command unit will serve the entire community. We partner with our schools all the time with facilities agreements that benefit both agencies, Mr. Ramos said. Its one of my strong goals to continue to partner with other agencies to provide services in a way that is more efficient financially and with regards to service delivery.

POLICE BLOTTER
Thursday, July 5 A wanted man had Claremont police on the run Thursday evening. Police located 25-year-old Michael Turner, wanted for failure to appear in court, at the Metrolink Station around 5:30 p.m. Though Mr. Turner ran away from the police, he was found hiding in a doorway of the Courier Place apartments across the street. The chase and arrest were only the start of troubles caused by the disgruntled man. On the way to the jail, Mr. Turner began kicking his legs and banging his head on the rear passenger window of the police vehicle, effectively moving the window off of its track. An estimated $500 in damage was done to the car. At the station, he refused to answer questions and, once behind bars, tore off his shirt and shorts, stuffed them down the toilet and flushed, flooding the cell. The acts of vandalism were added to Mr. Turners charges. ***** An unusual phone call from a Claremont residence left one man behind bars Thursday night despite his initial request for help from the police. Robert Taflinger, 46, told officers a hit man was at his home attempting to kill his dog, according to Lieutenant Shelly Vander Veen. Not only was Mr. Taflinger found to be under the influence of methamphetamine, but also a piece of foil with visible drug remnants. Mr. Taflinger was arrested for being under the influence and in possession of an illegal substance. Friday, July 6 A 47-year-old Alhambra woman was arrested after allegedly attacking her boyfriend Friday morning. Police confronted the woman and her bloodied boyfriend, who were fighting in a parked car near Shenandoah and Amherst Drives. The woman had reportedly punched her boyfriend in the nose after accusing him of dating someone else. She was arrested for battery and held at the Claremont jail. Sunday, July 8 Residents of a home in the 1000 block of Maryhurst Drive returned from church Sunday afternoon to find 2 burglars carting off their property. Two individuals reported as 15- or 16-year-old Hispanic males with short brown hair, holding
Man charged for trying to push girlfriend off cliff

On Friday, July 6 a 49-year-old man was arrested for attempted murder at the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park. Police allege that Ramon Ceja, an Ontario resident, attempted to push his girlfriend of 3 years off the Burbank Canyon Trail, which plummets into a steep and rugged drop. Investigation found that Mr. Ceja began fighting with the woman after she had decided to end the relationship. The woman was able to fend off Mr. Ceja, who fled southbound on the trail, acwhite plastic bagshad been ransacking the home when the residents entered the house through the garage. The burglars ran through the hall, past the residents and were last seen running west on Maryhurst. No getaway vehicle was seen. The total value of the stolen property is unknown. Tuesday, July 10 The kitchen appliance bandit strikes again, this time in the 200 block of Miramar Drive. Sometime between 4 and 7 a.m. the crook broke into the vacant property and stole a fridge and stove. Police speculate a dark navy blue van seen at the front of the residence may be connected to the disappearance, according to cording to a news release. A group of hikers came to the rescue, several escorting the victim down the trail to the police. Another followed in pursuit of Mr. Ceja. The hiker was able to provide a location to police, who detained Mr. Ceja for attempted murder and spousal and sexual battery. He is being held at the Los Angeles County Inmate Reception Center for $1 million bail.

Any information should be reported to the Claremont police at 399-5411. ***** A teen involved in a 2-car crash at Indian Hill and San Jose Tuesday night, though not at fault, ended up being the one in trouble. Another driver attempting to make a right-hand turn from San Jose struck the vehicle of the 17-year-old female who was driving down Indian Hill Boulevard. However, the teenager was driving without a license. She was arrested and released with a citation.
EDUCATION
Significant changes in the contract include an overhaul of the districts teacher evaluation system. Previously, the protocol was a CUSD cumbersome 150 pages, a length made it new teachers BOARD that principalsunlikelyread the docuand would ment closely, Mr. Chamberlain said. As a result, teacher assessment has come to vary widely from school to school. A new evaluation system, streamlined 8 to 10 pages, was instituted. It is very clear about procedures for assessing teacher performance and responding to negative evaluations, the faculty union president emphasized. A welcome addition to the contract is a pledge that, next year, the district will contribute more toward teachers health insurance premiums. Mr. Chamberlain estimates the average faculty member pays $350 out of pocket per month for coverage for their family. Next year, that number may drop as low as $240. The faculty felt comfortable asking for the commitment because teachers have contributed significantly to the districts healthy reserve fund, which is about $10 million, Mr. Chamberlain said. A few years ago, CUSD suggested teachers take furlough days. In the face of waning state funding, many local districts have cut their school year by 3 to 7 days. Uncomfortable with the idea of a shortened school year, Claremont teachers agreed to take a pay cut commensurate with the money the district stood to save with fewer school days. For the past 2 years, local teachers have taken a $150 per-month pay cut, an amount that represents $1500 per year for each teacher. That agreement has now expired. We have a very strong academic program in Claremont Unified, and we do not want to lose any days of instruction, Mr. Chamberlain said. We could have taken those days off. I think the community can appreciate a sacrifice like that. The faculty union asked for a permanent increase in CUSDs contribution towards health insurance. The district has agreed to provide one year of relief. Theyre reluctant to make any permanent increase until theres some resolution to education funding in the state, Mr. Chamberlain said. The faculty union president took a few moments after the meeting to talk about Mr. Elsasser: First impressions are great. Mr. Chamberlain said he enjoyed his recent meeting with the new superintendent. He was very gracious and asked a lot of questions, trying to get a sense of the district and the community, Mr. Chamberlain said. He was very open to what we

ew Superintendent James Elsasser presided over his first meeting of the Claremont Unified School District Board of Education on Friday, July 12 in a gathering highlighted by the approval of new agreements between CUSD and district employees.
These include the contract for the Claremont Faculty Association, which was renegotiated in its entirety, as well as contracts for the California School Employees Association and the Claremont Management Association. The superintendents brief tenure has been busy. Mr. Elsasser shared he has attended 32 meetings, toured local school sites and stopped by a Kiwanis meeting with board member Steven Llanusa. He noted, with some bemusement, that he even rode a float in Claremonts Fourth of July parade. Its been a great 9 days. I appreciate the warm welcome. Its also a new job for Dave Chamberlain, English teacher and speech and debate coach at Claremont High School. He stepped up to the podium as the new faculty union president to ink the agreement between the district and local teachers. Sycamore Elementary School principal and Management Association president Amy Stanger signed the contract for the districts management employees. The agreement between the district and the faculty union was reached on June 9, surprisingly fast considering the contract was entirely revamped this year. Many districts continue negotiations well into the summer. We were very pleased with the positive and professional tone of negotiations this year, which was a change from years past, Mr. Chamberlain said.
had to say. Many people in the country are not open to the views of unions, Mr. Chamberlain admitted. Theres some sentiment in this community and nationwide that unions are the problem, he said. Our position is that its unions that maintain the middle class in this country. Virtually every teacher in Claremont is a member of the faculty union. One of these was represented in the school board meeting when Kevin Ward, assistant superintendent of human resources, delivered a quarterly report on Williams Uniform Complaints within the district. The Williams Complaint process provides a uniform procedure for staff and students in districts across the state to address possible unsafe facility conditions, among other issues. Mr. Ward shared that a teacher, who has asked that their name be withheld, has filed 2 Williams Complaints with the district. In the first of these, filed on February 29, 2012, the complainant requested that several 700-quad classrooms at Claremont High School as well as the library be inspected for water damage and the presence of mold. Inspections revealed the presence of mold in one of these classrooms, as well as in a sizeable swath of wood on an outdoor overhang in the 700 quad. The district has addressed the issues in this first complaint and considers the matter resolved, Mr. Ward said. The complainant filed a second complaint, essentially asking the entire school be inspected for water damage, mold and other maintenance issues. The complaint is being addressed this summer, he noted.
Tdap booster required for all incoming seventh graders

Claremont Unified School District students entering seventh through twelfth grades will need to have proof of an adolescent whooping cough booster shot (Tdap) to register for the 2011-12 school year. The assembly bill (AB 354) was signed into law on September 29, 2010 and is effective for the incoming seventh through twelfth graders for the 2012-13 school year and for incoming seventh graders each year after. Information on the Tdap can be found at the district website at www.cusd.claremont.edu.

Golden State Water offers tips to prevent the summer spike

by Ben Lewis, Foothill District Manager for Golden State Water Company
ummer is officially here, bringing with it all the fun activities we look forward to, from backyard cookouts to Fourth of July parades and enjoying time outdoors. It also brings some of the hottest months of the year to our communities and that means our water use and water bills spike due to increased consumption.
Most homes use 50 percent of their water on outdoor landscaping, and this amount can increase dramatically over the summer if residents arent using water-efficient practices and equipment. Golden State Water Company supports a community approach to conserving water because lowering consumption also helps customers save on their monthly water bills. Golden State Water recognizes and respects the diversity of the residents of Claremont. As your water purveyor, this diversity is reflected in the customers water usage. The average residential Claremont customer with a 5/8-inch connection uses roughly 9724 gallons of water per month and pays approximately $62. However customers have varying connection sizes, including 5/8-
inch, 1- inch and 2-inch, to accommodate water usage that can range from 7000 to 80,000 gallons of water per month. To keep customer bills in check, here are some easy ways to reduce consumption and prevent a summer spike: Water your yard only before 8 a.m. to reduce evaporation and interference from wind and save 25 gallons per day. Install a smart sprinkler controller and save 40 gallons per day. Check your sprinkler system for leaks, overspray and broken sprinkler heads and save up to 500 gallons per month. Dont run the hose while washing your car. Use a bucket of water and a quick hose rinse at the end and save as much as 150 gallons each time. Put a layer of mulch around trees and plants to slow down evaporation and save as much as 1500 gallons a month. Use a pool cover to cut down on evaporation and save about 1000 gallons a month. Because of the high chance of evaporation, dont
VIEWPOINT
water your lawn on windy days. This can save up to 300 gallons in one watering. There are also many practices consumers can adopt inside the home: Turn off the water when you brush your teeth and save as much as 3 gallons per day. Shorten your showers by one or 2 minutes and save 5 gallons per day. Fix leaky faucets and save 20 gallons per day. Run only full loads in the washing machine and dishwasher and save 300 to 800 gallons a month. Install water-saving showerheads or flow restrictors and save 500 to 800 gallons per month. Keep a bottle of water in the refrigerator to beat the wasteful habit of running tap water to cool it for drinking and save 200 to 300 gallons a month. Use a broom instead of a hose to clean driveways and sidewalks and save 150 gallons or more each time. Dont use the toilet as a wastebasket and save up to 200 gallons of water a month. People tend to use more water during the hottest summer months, but by following these helpful tips we can all do our part to conserve water. We think that makes sense and hope you agree. For more information, please visit our website at www.gswater.com. feel, so they hide their racism in the false arguments of privilege and unsubstantiated allegations that are still present in our debate and from which the Republican Party refuses to disassociate themselves. It is my hope that we as a nation are above that, that we have grown up and matured. If you disagree with his policies that is fine, but if your vote will based upon where he was born or if he is a Christian or if he is a Muslim, you should ask yourself the honest question of whether or not your vote is being based upon raw bigotry and bias.

Americas maturity test
Dear Editor: This coming election represents a true test of whether or not America is growing up as a nation. Compared to European nations, we are still quite young. Over the first 2 centuries of our history the enfranchisement of our citizens has grown to include everyone. In the early days, only white males who owned property could vote. Now we hear echoes of the past as attempts are made around the nation to deprive people of the right to vote. In this debate we hear the word privilege used in describing the right to vote. I have always believed that voting was a right and not a privilege. We have seen people die in wars and in registration drives in the South, to insist that everyone
READERS COMMENTS
in our country has the right to vote. I can understand that we dont want dead people to vote. But in the main part, it seems that this effort to deprive people the right to vote, is based on maintaining the power of the privileged against the rights of the majority. It has been said that in Texas a million people could lose their God-given rights. Let us not kid ourselves! What lies behind a lot of this effort to take away the rights of women and minorities is the ugly face of racism. Where else in our history has a President of the United States been accused of not being a citizen? This election for President in many ways is a maturity test to see if we can go beyond the color of ones skin and elect or un-elect a person based upon what he has or has not done, based upon the circumstances and the facts. These wild accusations about whether or not President Obama was born in Kenya, or whether or not he is a Muslim or a fascist, communist or socialist, seem to be code words to me. I was raised in the South and these efforts during the last 3-plus years have been an effort to make President Obama seem to be less human. Their efforts have clearly made the statement that he is not one of us. They cant say what they really
Wow! Thats a great look! Its stern, scary and mean. But no growl or teeth. That would be a good one to learn. Will you teach us how to do that one, please?
EDUCATION
More states seek school waivers from No Child Left Behind
n increasing number of states are leaving the No Child Left Behind education law behind them.
On Friday, July 6 the Obama administration granted a waiver from No Child Left Behind (NCLB) to Washington and Wisconsin, bringing the number of states who have been freed from the law in the past 5 months to 26. Further waiver applications are pending for 10 other states as well as in the District of Columbia. NCLB was proposed by the George W. Bush administration as a response to widespread public concern about the state of education and passed, with wide bipartisan support. The law requires all federally-funded schools to administer a yearly statewide standardized test. The test results for campuses receiving Title 1 fundingmoney earmarked for schools with a high low-income population must demonstrate Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). This means, for example, that the fourth graders at a Title 1 school must perform better on the standardized test than the schools fourth graders did the year before. When a school misses AYP for the second time in a row, it is given the public status of being in need of improvement. Its administrators are asked to create a 2-year improvement plan to address the subject or subjects in which students are weakest. If a school misses AYP for a third consecutive year, it must offer free tutoring and supplemental education services to struggling students. If a school has a fourth year without adequate improvement, it is designated as needing corrective action, which may entail changing the curriculum, upping the time students spend in class, or even replacing the schools entire staff. A fifth year of AYP deficit means that the entire school must be restructured. It may be closed or turned into a charter
school, or its administration may be turned over to a private company or to the states office of education. Supporters of NCLB say they like the increased accountability the law provides. Critics say the law forces teachers to teach to the test, emphasizing rote memorization over complex thinking. Because the standards only cover math and reading, many say other subjects like art, science, and social studies are shunned in favor of core subject test preparation. States that want a waiver from NCLB must propose other ways their schools will assess student improvement. The Obama administration has asked that the evaluations of teachers in waiver states be more closely connected to student test scores. Washingtons waiver application said its schools would embrace new federal education standards and employ the states new teacher and principal evaluations. While Washingtons student assessment will still emphasize reading and math, testing will be extended to writing and science. The federal government plans to look to the most creative and effective of waiver states assessment models when crafting future national standards. Claremonts view California has not yet submitted a waiver application. Many educators and parents in the state, though, are chafing against the restrictions of NCLB. The COURIER recently took time to speak to a couple of Claremont educators to get their view on the impact of the controversial legislation that has dominated American schools for more than a decade. Susan Warren is co-founder of Project Think, a summer academic enrichment program for kids in kindergarten through eighth grade held in the Old Schoolhouse in Claremont. She is also a professor at Azusa Pacific University and the director of the masters program in education there. Ms. Warren said she sees some value in NCLB.
I really believe that the intent of the lawthe idea that all children, regardless of their ethnicity or socio-economic status or language are all going to have the same high expectations for achievementwas wonderful, she said. Looking at students achievement growth by subgroups really helped us as a nation wake up to the fact that we werent serving all students. As a long-term measure, however, Ms. Warren feels NCLB has hampered teachers ability to cultivate critical thinking. We dont want to produce children who are good at spitting back rote memorization, and who have mastered the skill of bubbling in an answer, she said. We want children to have a deeper understanding of the material and be able to apply it to something that would be authentic in the real world. Ms. Warren said she feels that both students and teachers are casualties of the teaching to the test mentality. I hear all the time from parents that their children arent excited about coming to school because school is very back-tobasics, she said. Theyre not excited about going to school because its so mundane and dry and boring. Students in the lowest performing districts, where schools are in program improvement status, have it the hardest. Ms. Warren notes that PE, art, music, health, science and social studies are the first to go when a school's focus is turned to testassessable math and reading skills. Theres such a high emphasis on standardized testing and getting the scores up that they've taken away a lot of the subject areas that are so important in enriching the students educational experience, she said.
Many classroom teachers find the situation heart-breaking. Teachers feel like theyre on these pacing plans. They have these benchmark tests they have to get to, theyre rushing through everything, she said. Instead of being able to meet individual kids needs, they're leaving them behind. The current system of accountability is creating teacher burnout, Ms. Warren asserted. Many teachers are feeling that the reason they went into education, to be able to make a differencethey can't do it. Joe Tonan, a sixth grade teacher at Sumner Elementary School and the former faculty union president, argues that NCLB has been bad policy. It hasnt been beneficial, he said. Though Claremont has been able to largely avoid the overemphasis on testing, it's still taken away from learning. Mr. Tonan said he dislikes the way the emphasis has shifted in the past decade from subject mastery to test taking. If I know certain subjects are going to be on the state testing, I know that I need to put more time into those subjects, even if there might be other thing that are more important for a students best interest, he explained. I know we will incur penalties if test scores are not high enough, so it puts me in a bind between whats best for students and whats best for test scores. While more states are fleeing the dictates of NCLB, locally it remains a difficult situation. Testing in and of itself is not a bad thingits a good thing, Mr. Tonan said. But this overemphasis on high-stakes testing is harmful to students.
Joseph Platt
Joseph B. Platt, founding president of Harvey Mudd College (HMC) died at his Claremont home on Tuesday, July 10, 2012 after a period of declining health. He was 96. An accomplished physicist, Mr. Platt took the helm as HMCs founding president in 1956 and led the institution through 2 decades of growth to national acclaim as a premiere engineering, math and science college. After stepping down from HMC, Mr. Platt served from 1976 to 1981 as the eighth president of Claremont Graduate School and University Center (now Claremont Graduate University). He returned to HMC in 1981 as the senior professor of physics and taught well into his 90s. Many of us knew and loved Joe, said Maria Klawe, HMCs fifth president. He had a profound impact on all our lives here at HMC, thanks in large part to his vision and incredible energy. Joe developed the mission for HMC that we embrace todayto prepare socially responsible engineers and scientists in an educational culture of collaboration and fun. We will dearly miss his joyful sense of humor and that mischievous twinkle in his eye. Mr. Platt was born in Portland, Oregon and grew up in Rochester, New York. After graduating from the University of Rochester in 1937 with a degree in physics, he continued his work in physics at Cornell University, earning a PhD in 1942. He then went on to his first teaching job at the University of Rochester.
OBITUARIES Harvey Mudd College founding president, professor, physicist, WWII veteran
upon his educational background and prior experiences plus a multitude of talents, he established Harvey Mudd College and, over the next 20 years, guided it toward its status as one of the foremost engineering, science and mathematics colleges in the country. When Mr. Platt opened HMCs doors in 1957, the college had 7 faculty members and 48 students. Twenty years later, when he stepped down, HMC claimed about 1,000 graduates and a national reputation as a top college among its peers. Mr. Platts other commitments during his career included serving as a science advisor to UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization); board member and chairman, ANSER (Analytic Services, Inc.); multiple roles, National Science Foundation; member, Californias Select Committee on Higher Education; trustee, China Foundation for the Promotion of Education and Culture; member, board on Science and Technology for International Development, National Academy of Sciences; trustee, Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching; trustee, the Aerospace Corporation; director, Bell & Howell Corporation; director, Jacobs Engineering Corporation; director, Automobile Club of Southern California; and several assignments within the Presidents Science Advisory Committee. He also maintained membership in numerous physics and engineering societies. Mr. Platt is survived by his wife, Jean Ferguson Platt of Claremont; his daughters and sons-in-law, Ann Platt Walker and Richard Walker of La Jolla and Elizabeth Platt Garrow and Thomas Garrow of Willowbrook, Illinois; and his grandchildren, Stephen Cavell Walker, Jay Bradbury Walker, Jennifer Elizabeth Garrow and Erin Alexander Garrow and their families. A private, family memorial will be held, and a public celebration of Mr. Platts life will take place in the fall. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be sent to the Jean and Joe Platt Endowed Scholarship at Harvey Mudd College, 301 Platt Blvd., Claremont, CA 91711; or to Claremont United Church of Christ, 233 W. Harrison Ave., Claremont, CA 91711. Please visit hmc.edu/remembering joeplatt/ to share your memories and condolences.
During World War II, on leave from the university, he worked in the Radiation Laboratory at MIT and put his knowledge of radar devices to practical use for the US Air Force in the European and Pacific theatres. In 1946, Mr. Platt returned to civilian life and the University of Rochester, but from 1949 to 1951 he was loaned to the Atomic Energy Commission as chief of the Physics Branch, Research Division. Returning once again to his alma mater, he became a professor of physics and worked on the design and construction of the 240-million-volt synchrocyclotron. In 1956, he received the call to come west and help found a college. Drawing
Richard A. ONeill
A memorial service for Richard Arthur ONeill will be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, July 22, 2012 at Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, 1500 N. College Ave., Claremont. Mr. ONeill, a longtime Sacramento resident who lived with family in Claremont for the last several years, died on May 17, 2012. He was 68. A more complete account of Mr. ONeills life will be published in an upcoming edition of the COURIER.
Now and then: Memorial Park continues to provide a summer haven
ts fun to browse through issues of the COURIER from bygone days, to see how much has changed and how much remains the same.
This photo from the July 21, 1955 edition of the newspaper commemorates a Memorial Park picnic, once an annual tradition among members of St. Ambrose Episcopal Church. The Saturday event was a dinner, allowing revelers to enjoy the coolness of the evening after a day that was most likely a scorcher. Temperatures for the preceding week, listed elsewhere in the newspaper, peaked on July 15 and 16, with the mercury rising to 101 and 102 degrees, respectively. Given that its a black-and-white photo, its hard to make out exactly what was on the menu for the 100 members of the St. Ambrose congregation who showed up for the picnic. But a glance at a Bentleys Market ad
in the same edition of the COURIER can give us an idea what it cost. If someone was interested in hamburgers, they could buy ground beef for 29 cents a pound and grill it using an 85-cent bag of Flavor Flame charcoal. As far as toppings, Bentleys had ketchup on sale2 bottles for a quarterand offered a 3-pound basket of fancy small tomatoes for a quarter, too. In 2012 Memorial Park remains a popular picnicking spot, especially on evenings when the park plays host to city-sponsored entertainment. The Monday night summer Concerts in the Park kicked off last Monday and will continue for the next 2 months. This Mondays concert includes a performance by the reggae band Upstream. The city suggests that guests bring blankets and low chairs and begin arriving as early as 6 p.m. to select a space. You can bring your own provisions or hit the Kiwanis Club concession stand for dinner.
Claremont officially gains control of Route 66
he back-and-forth battle for Foothill Boulevard is at an end.
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) issued the city of Claremont $5.7 million late last month for the relinquishment of Foothill Boulevard. Caltrans finalized its decision for relinquishment on June 26 after a unanimous vote of approval from the Claremont City Council last May. The acquired funds represent an end to a decades-long struggle to own the citys portion of the major public roadway. We are in control of our own destiny, said Mayor Pro Tem Opanyi Nasiali. We can now do the necessary improvements and create a master plan for developments along Foothill Corridor without begging Caltrans to weigh in. Throughout the past 10 years, the city has worked with Caltrans, who previously operated the Claremont portion of Foothill Boulevard, in hopes of reclaiming the street, but with little success. Caltrans wanted to relinquish, but when we explained to them what we considered to bring the roadway into a state of good repair, they kind of let it die about 10 years ago, said City Engineer Craig Bradshaw in a statement last month. Senate Bill 993, introduced by Senator Bob Huff in 2010, was created to help the city and Caltrans through the process.
A year later the 2 groups negotiated an agreement, but financial uncertainties made the deal an impossibility. Unfortunately, the timing could not have been any worse, Mr. Bradshaw said. The states economy was in disarray as it continues to be, and no funding could be located. The appropriate funds were finally identified in the Caltrans Shop, a state highway operations and protections program, within 2011-2012 funds. The $5.7 million given to Claremont will be used to begin much-needed repairs and updates to the citys portion of Foothill, according to a city report. Updates include repair and additions to sidewalks, curbs and gutters, installation of and updates to handicap ramps, audible pedestrian signals at Mountain and Mills Avenues, Indian Hill and Claremont Boulevards, and correcting drainage deficiencies. A majority of the repairs are expected to begin in the summer of 2013, according to the report, with $200,000 for safety, traffic and ADA improvements to begin within 6 months of receiving the compensation funds. Mr. Bradshaw expects the city will receive its money by the end of the summer. Some of the improvements not included in the relinquishment compensation include new streetlights, future street resurfacing, and undergrounding of existing electrical and utility lines, as well as routine traffic signal electrical maintenance. Annual routine maintenance of Foothill is expected to cost the city
$120,000, which will be funded through available gas tax through fiscal year 2014-2015. In time, the relinquishment will present an aesthetic improvement travelers along the Foothill Corridor can enjoy similar to when the city acquired its portion of Base Line Road, according to Mr. Nasiali. Now we can see the difference, Mr.
Nasiali said of the improvements to Base Line, especially with the medians. We are going to start to see physical improvements [to Foothill] including the medians and the synchronization of the signals. We will be able to fix it up to our standards without having to check with Caltrans. Beth Hartnett

Building permits issued in June The Building Division issued 101 permits during the month of June. The total construction valuation was $1,953,188. Police continue to issue citations at Wilderness Park The police department has increased enforcement of posted hours at the Wilderness Park. Visitors entering the park before dawn or leaving after dusk are subject to a $50 fine. Daily park hours are posted at the entrance of the park and on the citys website. Packing House sign program amendment The Packing House property owner is proposing additional signs to aid in providing exposure for the existing businesses within the Packing House. In 2006, signs approved for the Packing House were primarily aimed at providing exposure for the tenants with direct exposure to First Street. The remaining businesses within the atrium area and on the second floor had little-to-no exposure from First Street. The proposed signs include a freestanding multitenant monument sign, as well as several directional, directory and building-mounted signs to provide

additional exposure for those businesses located within the interior tenant spaces of the Packing House. This item was slated for Architectural Commission design review on July 11. Outdoor uses and special outdoor use permits Special Outdoor Use Permits (SOUPs) allow for outdoor uses such as seating and displays of items in the citys commercial districts. Outdoor displays of 6 square feet or less do not require a permit by the city; however, displays for restaurant or retail uses larger than 6 square feet, and any form of outdoor seating for restaurants, require review and approval of a SOUP. Permits are renewed annually and could aid in providing additional exposure for commercial businesses within the city. All sidewalk sales are subject to the general standards for outdoor uses with the following additional standards: A. A sidewalk sale may be conducted only by the business(es) located within the building that fronts the right-of-way or property where the sale is to be located.
B. A retail business is permitted up to 12 sidewalk sale days per year provided the sale events comply with all applicable standards. The 12 sale days may be consecutive or spread throughout the calendar year. C. The city may prohibit sales at certain times. At least 10 days prior to having a sidewalk sale, or before advertising for a sidewalk sale, a business owner must obtain approval of date(s) from Planning Division staff. The city may prohibit a sale event at certain times to prevent a conflict with community events, filming, street or sidewalk repairs, utility repairs, other special events or an excessive number of sidewalk sales in very close proximity to each other on the same dates. D. Sidewalk sales may not extend into any parking area, except if the sale occurs before 8 a.m. or after 6 p.m. and if Planning Division staff determines that the use of the parking area is necessary for the sale to occur and the event will not impact other businesses or city operations. The use of a parking area after 8 a.m. and before 6 p.m. requires a Special Use & Development Permit or a Special Event Permit. E. Sidewalk sales shall not be subject to parking requirements. Businesses may contact the Planning Division at 3995470 for more information or visit the citys website at www.ci.claremont.ca.us.

Owners commitment to art has Claremont studio thriving
COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff Elizabeth Preston has been running Elizabeths Art Studio in Claremont for 17 years. She offers classes for children and adults at the studio as well as a gallery space.
lizabeth Prestons commitment to art is like a good marriage: it endures in sickness and in health.
Kenny Sides, 9, makes a watercolor painting on Thursday during an art class at Elizabeths Art Studio in Claremont. Kenny, who is owner Elizabeth Prestons grandson, has been taking art classes at the studio since he was 2. Participants in the Fresh Faces exhibit at Elizabeths Art Studio in Claremont are, from left, Johnnie Chatman, Linda Hauser, Breanna Thomas, standing, James Johnson and Elizabeth Preston. Ms. Preston curated the exhibit to give a leg up to a few of the up-and-coming artists in the area. BELOW: Ms. Preston works with two of her students on Thursday at her Claremont business, Elizabeths Art Studio. An art show of some of her current and past students called Fresh Faces is on view through July 31.
Take sickness, for example. The 2 times Ms. Preston has experienced bouts of major illnessthe first took place when she was 35proved to be pivotal points in her creative development. After being counter-mentored by a high school art teacher overly critical of her efforts, Ms. Preston stopped painting for 20 years. She was pursuing her plan B career of teaching when she fell ill. During her recovery, Ms. Preston attended an exhibit of Van Gogh paintings. Her childhood dream of being an artist was reawakened, and she began painting again. It took another illness to nudge Ms. Preston toward the next step in her artistic career. In 1993, she was involved in a serious automobile accident that rendered her right arm non-functional for 2 years. She took 2 years off from teaching at Condit Elementary School. Ms. Preston was at a turning point when a rehabilitation therapist introduced her to a pursuit she would come to love as much as painting: creative journaling. Its a process in which you use your non-dominant hand to write and draw. The theory is that the change-up unlocks the more creative, intuitive and less conscious parts of the mind, often described as our inner child. Creative journaling switched me over so I started using both sides of the brain, Ms. Preston said. I think the biggest thing was that I began to have a much more optimistic outlook on life. Two years after the accident, doctors told Ms. Preston she needed to have a metal plate and 6 screws implanted in her neck. A week before the procedure, she took out a business license for her own art studio. I wanted to have something to live for that would push me, no matter what happened, Ms. Preston said. In 1995 Ms. Preston opened her studio with 7 students, renting
a space from the Art Box on the Claremont and Upland border. When her clientele outgrew the space a year later, Ms. Preston moved to Foothill Boulevard in Claremont, in the shopping center that is home to The Ivy House and Claremont Florist. There, in a cozy, stone-walled cave of a room, located on the basement level, she gives art lessons to children and adults in a variety of mediums. She also teaches creative journaling to people dealing with or recovering from major illnesses, or who hope to overcome emotional or artistic blocks. For 6 years, Ms. Preston divided her time between Condit School and her studio. Frustrated by increasing cutbacks in art instruction at public schools, she retired from teaching in 2001, making art her full-time focus. Who knows what would have happened to Ms. Prestons artistic aspirations if she had always remained healthy? Illness is a defining moment for me, Ms. Preston shared. A healthy career amid a tight economy As Elizabeths Art Studio approaches year 17, Ms. Prestons art career is the healthiest it has been. Ms. Preston works mainly in oils, painting both representational landscapes and colorful, highly-textural abstracts. She recently finished commissions for numerous paintings being
displayed at 2 new resort hotels. Twenty-four canvases have gone to the Sky Forest Lodge, located on The Rim of the World in Crestline. Claremonters Lynn and Rich Sanders created the lodge with the aim of offering a richly decorated couples getaway. She also has several paintings at the Art Hotel in Laguna Beach, a getaway where guests can ask to be housed in one of 2 Elizabeth Preston Rooms, she notes. Ms. Preston recently helped collect 70 works of art, donated by local artists, for the Pomona Community Health Center, which serves uninsured and underinsured individuals. The soon-to-beexpanded center, which is being developed under the auspices of the Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center, is expected to draw some 17,000 people next year. The very busy Ms. Preston also continues to teach art classes and therapeutic journaling to people of all ages. At a time when many galleries and many studios are not making it, Im very excited that I am still teaching my art classes, Ms. Preston said. This month, she is not just welcoming students to her studio. She invites all art-loving community members to see Fresh Faces, an exhibit of works by friends and former students on exhibit through July 31. The show was launched in conjunction with the Claremont Museum of Art Studio Tour. Works by artists like Johnnie Chatman, Peggy Trindle, Elizabeth Preston, Tim Maxwell, Breanna Thomas, Linda Hauser and James Edward Johnson are on view Monday through Thursday between noon and 6 p.m. Guests are encouraged to call to confirm visiting hours. Elizabeths Art Studio is located at 226 W. Foothill Blvd. in Claremont. For information, call 621-1630. Sarah Torribio

Her formula for success was hard work and perfection
aking a mark in the field of statistical engineeringa field historically dominated by menis no easy feat for women. But 6-foot Claremont statistician and retired professor Janet Myhre stands tall as a woman pioneer despite the odds.
You have to prove yourself by just working hard, she said. You have to be decisive. You have to be better. Its advice she gives her students and has put into theory in her own life. If there is any statistician to give sage advice, especially to females in math and science, its Ms. Myhre. Her achievements have placed her among the top in her field, and recent events have placed her among the very best. Ms. Myhre was awarded the Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) Lifetime Achievement Award last May for her many years of statistical work for the FBM Strategic Systems Program. The prestigious award is bestowed upon a person who has made significant contributions in the field of science and engineering and has been pivotal to the weapons programs development and success. For Ms. Myhre, the honor is among her crowning achievements, in addition to being named an honorary Claremont McKenna College alumna by her students, because the recognition of her good work came from those who matter most. People in the Navy I truly respect are saying they like my work, Ms. Myhre said. It shows me my work is appreciated by those who are meant to appreciate it. My teaching should be appreciated by my students, and my work by those who use it. That really means something to me. Receiving such an award, sought by many but given to select few, is no easy task. Only one or 2 award recipients are chosen a year, about 70 to date. Though few are bestowed with such an honor, it is no surprise to Ms. Myhres colleagues at the US Navy that she is among those exclusive ranks. Her success rate is unprecedented, said coworker Jim Kern. Janet has probably single-handedly contributed as much if not more about developing the testing methodologies to determine and maintain the high-reliability system that guards our nation than any other. Ms. Myhre has spent her 45 years working with the US Navys weapons program in maintaining the systems reliability, finding its flaws and figuring out how to fix them. Her attention to detail and meticulous accuracy is unparalleled, noted coworker Michael Coussa. She takes it personal that her work is relied on by the decision-makers in Washington to keep our country safe, Mr. Coussa said. You can always count on Janet to give you more than expected. She doesnt cut corners. She maintains that level of detail in all the work she does, expecting nothing short of perfection whether in her published works, her dedication to her student interns or her consulting work for the US Navy. Ms. Myhre admits to her perfectionism, and a stubborn streak, even when it came to starting her own statistical consulting company MARC (Mathematical Analysis and Research Corporation). As one of the few women in her workplace, Ms. Myhre had a stronger resolution to be successful. She was the only female statistician when she came to Claremont in 1961 to teach at the Claremont Colleges and one of very few in other employments. She credits her strong support system for helping her weather through difficulties that many women face. Her father was an especially strong proponent to her success. Noting his daughters mathematical and analytical capabilities, he encouraged her to pursue a career that complemented her strong suits. He would give me problems to solve from a very young age and showed me clever tricks on how to solve them, Ms. Myhre said. Subpar math experiences in high school, however, almost extinguished her love for her favorite subject. Upon
COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff Longtime Claremont resident Janet Myhre was awarded the Fleet Ballistic Missile Lifetime Achievement Award for her many years with the FBM weapons program. Ms. Myhre is a pioneering woman in the field of mathematics who taught at the Claremont Colleges for over 40 years. Ms. Myhre receives the Fleet Ballistic LIfetime Achievement Award from Rear Admiral Terry Joseph Benedict.
entering college, Ms. Myhre told her dad that she would be pursuing a career as a lawyer; no more math classes. But he had a plan. Ms. Myhre was invited to a dance by a local high school football hero and needed a new dress. Her father proposed a bribe. He would buy her any dress she wanted from a popular boutique in town if she would sign up for a math class of his choosing. She obliged. The dance was okay, the young man was not very interesting...the math class was fabulous, she said with a smile. I couldnt get enough math after that point. Its amazing how things turn in your life. She began work for Boeing in 1956 right after finishing a masters in mathematics from the University of Washington. Her first appointment as a statistician proved to be a pivotal learning lesson that would shape her career. It was challengingquite different from answering problems in the back of a bookbut very rewarding, Ms. Myhre said. I was finally being forced to take all that Id learned in physics, chemistry, engineering and math and apply it. There was a lot more to it than just proving theorems in pure math. She would later establish her own program, the Reed Institute for Decision Science, to give her students real-world experience by bringing in actual problems for the students to solve. Its invaluable, Ms. Myhre said. Its not something you learn in school books. Ms. Myhre found the challenges further excited her passion for problem-solving. Though she would leave her job at Boeing to have a child and allow her husband to finish his PhD, she couldnt keep away from the algorithms and bell curves for long. After relocating her family to Stockholm because of a job opportunity for her husband, Ms. Myhre returned to school to finish her doctorate, receiv-
ing a PhD in mathematical statistics in 1968. She began work at a neighbors consulting company upon graduation, helping to solve problems for the US Navys Strategic Weapons System. Her boss traveled to Washington, DC to present her work, and the naval officers were so impressed they asked to meet the person behind the consultants statistical findings. They said, Would you bring in that young man whos doing all that work for you? That is a direct quote, she laughed. When the Navy decided to end its contract with the consulting company, Ms. Myhre was asked by the Navy to create her own firm and continue that partnership. Ms. Myhre founded her company, MARC, in 1973. It proved to be an interesting venture for the statistician who had never taken an accounting or economics class. She presented the Navys auditors a loose-leaf notebook with travel expenses, and was clueless as to their questions about having a chart of accounts. They said, If the Navy didnt like you so much we wouldnt be wasting our time. You dont know anything about running a business, she recalled of the initial startup. I learned really fast. Her companys pivotal early work included working on the Navys Poseidon Modification Program, correcting operational flaws in the ballistic submarine missile. MARC is also responsible for developing the assessment program for the reliability of the missiles in the naval weapons program. Though she experienced various levels of discrimination in other areas of her career, not once was she targeted by her naval colleagues because of her gender. To this day, the Navy continues to entrust a great deal of its work in the hands of its stubborn and beloved perfectionist. Now the recipient of a lifetime achievement award, Ms. Myhre plans to continue adding to her list of accomplishments. She may have retired from her professorship at the Claremont Colleges, but she is far from giving up on her work with the Navy, and they have not given up on her either. They give me triple the amount of work now than they used to, she joked, but she appreciates the work. I dont know what Id do if I retired. I dont want to play bridge. I dont play tennis. You can only do so much Sudoku, Ms. Myhre said. I love what I do and will continue to do it for as long as I can do it well.

PUBLISH: June 30, July 7, 14 and 21, 2012. NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE VILLAGE EXPANSION SPECIFIC PLAN TO ACCOMMODATE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT IN MX ZONE (File#98SP01amd4) NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Denley Investments and Management has requested approval of a proposed amendment to the Village Expansion Specific Plan (VESP). The amendment is being proposed to accommodate a mixed use development on a 1.67-acre property located at 127 Oberlin Avenue. The City Council will conduct its review of the specific plan amendment (File #98-SP01amd4) on Tuesday, July 24, 2012, at 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chamber, 225 W. Second Street. At this time all interested persons are invited to appear and be heard. The proposed VESP amendment would make the following changes: Increase the permitted maximum building height in the MX zone from three to four stories, and from the currently allowed 40 feet to 50 feet, and Revise the uses permitted in the MX zone to allow live/work spaces and some uses currently permitted only on second and third floors to be located on the first floor. The MX zone was originally created to allow for a wide mix of uses and serve as a transitional zone between commercial and residential uses. It encourages the same design character as the CMX zone, which is the zoning for the major new commercial development in the Village
909.621.4761
Claremont COURIER Classifieds/Saturday, July 14, 2012
Expansion Area. However, it expands allowable uses to include residential and office uses, depending on market demand. The proposed changes are necessary to accommodate a proposal for a mixed use development on the site of the vacant Rich Products industrial building. The applicant would like to construct a building that has retail and live/work lofts on the first floor, residential units on upper floors and an internal parking structure. The cost and complexity of this type of construction has prompted the applicant to request the additional height. The need to allow lower intensity commercial uses near the edge of the commercial zone has prompted the request to allow office and service type businesses on the first floor. In June, the Planning Commission completed a review of the proposed specific plan amendment and, by a unanimous vote, recommended approval by the City Council. If the amendment is approved by the City Council, the applicant will submit architectural design plans for review by the Claremont Architectural Commission. You will be notified of that public meeting(s) once a date has been set. NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that the Director of Community Development has determined that an addendum to the VESP Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is the appropriate environmental document for analyzing the proposed specific plan amendment under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In accordance with Sections 15162 and 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines, staff has prepared an Addendum to the VESP EIR. The analysis summarized in the addendum finds that only minor technical changes to the EIR are necessary and that the proposal would create no new significant environmental effects or substantial increases in the severity of environmental effects beyond those identified in the original EIR. Therefore, no further environmental review is necessary. A copy of the proposed VESP amendment, addendum to the VESP EIR, preliminary project description and plans are on the City website and on file with the Community Development Department at City Hall, located at 207 Harvard Avenue. These documents are available for interested parties to review between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday. Finally, in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, any person with a disability who requires a modification or accommodation in order to participate in a City meeting should contact the City Clerk at 909/3995461 VOICE or 1-800/735-2929 TT/TTY at least three working days prior to the meeting, if possible. If you have any questions or would like any additional information, please call (909) 3995486 or send written comments to Senior Planner Christopher Veirs, P.O. Box 880, Claremont, CA 91711-0880.

NOTICE OF SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT FILE #12-SEP02AMD NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, pursuant to the Municipal Code of the City of Claremont, that Pomona College has petitioned for an amendment to the approved Special Events Permit #12-SEP02. The following change is proposed: The date of the Freshmen Orientation Parade will be changed to August 26, 2012, from 6:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The parade route will remain as same as the original approval, which will begin at College Ave and Sixth Street, just outside the Pomona College Gates. The parade will precede south on College Avenue, then east on Fourth Street and will terminate at Bridges Hall of Music, located on the south side of Fourth Street, east of College Avenue. All street segments along the parade route will be temporarily closed during the procession. NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that the Director of Community Development has determined that this proposal is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with Section 3.03(b)(4) of Claremonts Local Guidelines for Implementing CEQA. This is exempt because each of the three Special Events is of short duration and will not create long term physical impacts to the City of Claremont; therefore, no further environmental review is necessary. The public review period will commence on July 14, 2012, and will run through July 23, 2012. Any interested person is directed to contact Associate Planner Joanne Hwang, Department of Community Development Planning Division, 207 Harvard Avenue, Claremont, CA 91711, or at (909) 399-5353 for further information.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF RANDALL J. SCRUGHAM Case No. KP014828 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of RANDALL J. SCRUGHAM A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Randall S. Scrugham & Corine N. Scrugham in the Superior Court of Califor-nia, County of LOS ANGELES. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE re-quests that Randall S. Scrugham & Corine N. Scrugham be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. 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 ap-proval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representa-tive will be required to give notice to inter-ested 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 July 26, 2012 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. A located at 400 Civic Center Plaza, Pomona, CA 91766. 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 contin-gent creditor of the deceased, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Pro-bate Code section 9100. The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above. 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 DE154) 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.

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. On July 26, 2012, at 9:00am, Cal-Western Reconveyance Corporation, as duly appointed trustee under and pursuant to Deed of Trust recorded May 11, 2005, as Inst. No. 05 1110395 in book XX, page XX of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of Los Angeles County, State of California, executed by Luis Avalos and Maria Avalos, Husband And Wife As Joint Tenants., will sell at public auction to highest bidder for cash, 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 Doubletree hotel los angeles-norwalk, 13111 sycamore drive Vineyard Ballroom Norwalk, California, 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 described as: Completely described in said deed of trust The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1419 Tierra Cima Avenue Walnut (area) CA 91789 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 held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $347,824.97. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this 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 (800)280-2832 or visit the internet website www.auction.com, using the file number assigned to this case 1355152-15. 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. For sales information: (800)2802832. Cal-Western Reconveyance Corporation, 525 East Main Street, P.O.
