Joe Wojcik
Dear Editor: I was fortunate enough to run into Joe Wojcik once in a while over the years. My first encounter was refereeing AYSO on a very hot day, and afterwards, Joe said something like, Well, I need to go get my run in, while I was dripping sweat after having just done line judging. I thought it was pretty crazy to go run in the middle of the day when it was over 100 degrees, but later I would see him out running from time to time and realized he had it all figured out. The idea that Joe was looking out for folks at Boston is comforting, and last Sunday when I went for my run, it was nice to think of him watching out for runners here as well.

CGU Master Plan far reaching

Dear Editor: The proposed new Master Plan for Claremont Graduate University once again raises the problem of trying to expand an educational institution in a residential area. The incremental growth of the Claremont Colleges over many decades has encroached on housing stock in historic Claremont, and continues with this proposal. The process of college creep has been piecemeal, a few properties at a time, but it results in substantial alteration of the social, cultural and demographic character of our community. The conversion of houses to offices, institutes or centers robs central Claremont of residents, reduces student demand for the local elementary school, and adds to the pressures of parking. The CGU Master Plan proposes re-zoning the single family residence at 1006 North College Avenue to be an institutional program building. Built in 1905, and featured on page 129 of Judy Wrights Claremont: A Pictorial History, this house exemplifies the vernacular variety of North College Avenue, one of our grand residential streets. The proposed re-zoning continues the

The cost of marathon bombing

Dear Editor: Its unlikely that Mass General Hospital will absorb the expense of treating the alleged Boston Marathon bomber and will submit a bill to the US government for the emergency surgical services and hospital care they provided. But what about all the innocent victims of the explosions? Why shouldnt they all be accorded the same coverage as the alleged bomber? Will they have to look to their own insurance policies to pay for their treatment? Americans inevitably open their pocketbooks to donate to the victims of horrific events such as the Boston Marathon explosions. What happens after those donations run out? 1) Couldnt all the US health insurance

transformation from residential to institutional, which is already advanced further south on College Avenue. No change of zoning should be necessary if CGU intends to maintain the property as a residence. There is limited time to study this Master Plan, and the citys Initial Study in response to it, before the close of the period for public comment on May 16. Residents need to be watchful for future changes, including the privatizing or vacating of Twelfth Street, Eleventh Street (so-called Drucker Way), and Tenth Street between College and Dartmouth; the demolition of the Jagels Building, the Institute for Antiquity and Christianity, and Huntley Bookstore; and other problems relating to institutional growth, parking, trees, and the scale and density of the university in our midst. In the interest of full disclosure, please note that I have taught at several of the Claremont Colleges, and have a high regard for the benefits they bring to Claremont. But their ambitions for institutional advancement should not take priority over the interests of the community.

Council addresses jaywalking at Wilderness Park
ikers have one more thing to worry about when making their way out to the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park. In addition to strictly enforcing park hours, officers have now been given instructions to cite visitors who cross Mills Avenue without the use of a crosswalk. This additional measure is being taken after the Claremont City Council unanimously voted Tuesday night to add an ordinance prohibiting jaywalking on Mills south of Mt. Baldy Road. The new measure is the citys latest attempt to address overcrowding at the popular hiking spot. The increased volume of pedestrians...has created a safety hazard for pedestrians and motorists alike, said Captain Jon Traber, believing the added measure will resolve much of the conflict. Over the last 2 years, the city council has been working to address overcrowding, littering and safety issues at the park. A major concern for many has been pedestrians using the roadway as a walking path. To fix this problem, the city has created a pathway along the west side of Mills Avenue as well as created a crosswalk connecting the south parking lot with the park itself. The code provides yet another tool to address those safety issues by ensuring pedestrians use those pathways and crosswalks to enter the park, reiterated City Manager Tony Ramos. Hikers must use the official crosswalk at Mills Avenue and Mt. Baldy or an unmarked crosswalk at
Adirondack Lane in order to cross the street from the east to the trails on the west legally. City Attorney Sonia Carvalho did make it clear that the city would not be able to keep pedestrians from walking along the side of the roadway, however. This would be in violation of state law, which allows pedestrians to walk along the left edge of a roadway. This is not what the city intends to do, she emphasized. Someone walking their dog along that edge is different from seeing a crosswalk or control signalization and purposely avoiding that or not using those safe pathways that have been provided to you, and thats what we are trying to prevent, Ms. Carvalho said. Water remains topic of interest Council members may have had a break this week from the closed session meetings on water, but it didnt keep the topic from creeping up in public comment. Chris Mann, founder of the Inland Empire Taxpayers Association, came forward along with 2 Claremont McKenna College students with concerns about the citys desire to purchase the water system. Mr. Mann said he was concerned with the fact that the city has not made the feasibility study available to the public and questioned whether or not the city would take its decision to a public vote before moving forward with purchasing the water system. With educational institutions hurting for money, he suggested it
wouldnt be out of the question for the city to be asked to shoulder the burden with a bond. He inquired as to what would happen should taxpayers be faced with that decision. Its tough economic times and we feel the taxpayers really shouldnt be asked to shoulder the extra burden of these 2 separate bonds, Mr. Mann said. Resident Freeman Allen pointed out that spending the money to purchase the water system now will help avoid continued water rate increases by Golden State Water Company in the future. Nothing is more essential to our future than our water, Mr. Allen said. If there is any case that can be made for eminent domain, it seems to me to be acquisition of our water system so we can run it for the public interest. City divvies out cash for community organizations With the approval of the council, the city awarded more than $146,000 to 24 nonprofit, regional outreach groups through the 2013-2014 Community Based Organization (CBO) and Homeless Programs. Both programs provide an opportunity for the city of Claremont to aid nonprofit organizations dedicated to providing for the needy in the local community. CBO is dedicated to building the social, economic and family infrastructure within the city of Claremont. The homeless program serves those providing shelter and aid to the chronically homeless, those without
reliable shelter or on the verge of homelessness. Eighteen agencies will benefit from the allocated $86,650 for the CBO Program. Among those selected for funding are the Claremont After School Program, receiving $13,050, Claremont McKenna College, accepting $5700 in funding, and the Claremont Forum, collecting $1000. Six groups providing resources to the areas homeless will share $60,000 thanks to Homeless Program funds. Inland Valley Hope Partners received the bulk of the funding, $38,100, for its house shelter as well as its homeless assistance program. Pacific Lifeline received $7200 for programs to empower homeless women and children. The Claremont Unified School District also received $4900 earmarked for students with disabilities. Though the decision to approve funding took but a few minutes at Tuesdays meeting, the time it takes staff and commissioners to reach their decision did not go unnoticed. Councilmember Sam Pedroza emphasized the year-round work either reviewing applications and divvying funds or conducting evaluations to make sure the money is being used effectively. It does warrant some acknowledgement of the commissioners that put over 3 months and hundreds of hours in putting this together, Mr. Pedroza recognized. [CBO] is one of those programs that makes our city unique and different.

Thursday, April 18 A game of golf ended less than amicably for a couple who set out to enjoy an afternoon at the Claremont Golf Course, 1550 N. Indian Hill Blvd. The pair began to argue over their game in the parking lot when their bickering quickly escalated. The man pushed the woman to the ground and she, in turn, head-butted him, according to Detective James Hughes. Both were arrested for domestic abuse. Friday, April 19 It was a case of poor timing for a Claremont teen arrested near the Vons shopping center late Friday afternoon. Claremont Police Chief Paul Cooper happened to be at the center when he witnessed what he believed to be a drug transaction. Nineteen-year-old Patrick Cvengros was stopped by police just east of the center. Dodger, the police dog, was deployed and found a jar of marijuana, 76 plastic bags and a scale in Mr. Cvengros backpack, according to Det. Hughes. He was arrested for possession of drugs for sales.

Vons shopping center on high alert after another break-in

The Claremont Heights Postal Center, 2058 N. Mills Ave., is the latest addition to the list of burglarized businesses within the Vons Shopping Center. On Friday, April 19 at 6:30 a.m., police received yet another report of a smashed front door found at the shopping center. An unknown object had been used to break the glass front door, where the suspect entered and then exited with money in hand. There is no suspect information at this time.

Kingsley, Kate Tufts awards celebrate, sustain poetry
he presentation of Claremont Graduate Universitys Kingsley & Kate Tufts Poetry Awards, held on Thursday, April 18, did more than grant $10,000 and $100,000, respectively, to newer poet Heidy Steidlmayer and midcareer poet Marianne Boruch.
The presenters, judges and crowd evinced a reverence for the honorees, and for poetry at large, that underscored the absurdity of a recent Wall Street Journal column declaring that the poetry game is over, kaput, fini. Joseph Epsteins words were repeated with more than a little irony by featured speaker Jesse Nathan, founder of the McSweeneys Poetry Series, appearing as they did just weeks before the presentation of the coveted Tufts prizes. Of course, Mr. Epstein is not the first pundit to declare poetry dead, Mr. Nathan noted. In 1820, the writer Thomas Peacockdisgusted by what he saw as the self-indulgence and frivolity of Romantic poetrypublished The Four Ages of Poetry. Poetry is obsolete, its relevance replaced by better channels such as scientific inquiry, Mr. Peacock had asserted. According to Mr. Nathan, Mr. Epstein was channeling Peacock in his similarly dismissive piece. And the biggest fools of all may well be those who believe that contemporary poetry matters in the least, Mr. Epstein sneered, except to those who, against a high barbed-wire wall of national indifference, continue to solemnly churn it out. Marianne Boruch is a creative writing professor at Purdue University whose sixth volume of poetry, The Book of Hours, garnered the attention of the team of Kingsley Tufts judges. The $100,000 prize is intended to help affirm and sustain a mid-career poet of dazzling potential, who has not yet reached a career pinnacle and is expected to create outstanding work for many more years. In The Book of Hours, she follows her muse because she has to and because she can, describing the mystery of nature, such as a tree whose damp core is a dream of rot and wealth; her mother who, while dying grew less and yet somehow more (Her face. Can I/say this plainly now? There was light.); and a God who sometimes seems to be sleeping on the job. Heidy Steidlmayer is the winner of the $10,000 Kate Tufts Discovery Prize, reserved for a first book by a poet of genuine promise. Ms. Steidlmayer, a Vacaville resident whose Fowling Piece reportedly stunned the judges with its loving and acrobatic use of language, among other attributes, doesnt have

time to arrange a funeral for poetry either. Not only is she the busy mother of 3 girls, she continues to make sense of the world through poems marked by big thoughts put in strange ways. Many of her works in Fowling Piece chart the time when, as a new, third-time mother, she was diagnosed as having a brain tumor and experienced a stroke. The Mask is just one poem about confronting mortality while struggling for functionality. Meshed to my face in cloud work, she said of a CyberKnife radiation mask, it throws a net of blueness over the room/where techs pass like cows, huge/and moon-white near my chin./I am wearing this blue veil/to show my part in revealing/Ive been touched more than once by an invisible light./Or so I tell myself. Who knows?/I may be tethered to nothing,/holding the great sea crushed inside a turtle,/the sky leaking from a thousand holes/or Ive fallen in snow. Ms. Boruchs and Ms. Steidlmayers voices are just 2 among the myriad writers today whose vitality contradicts the words of Mr. Epstein. The production and dissemination of poetry have exploded with the ad-
vent of the Internet, Mr. Nathan noted. It can be hard for people to find the gold among this mother lode of literary ore, however, a conundrum that Mr. Nathan said may be What Mr. Epstein is getting at in a blundering way. What is needed are discerning poetry lovers to help curate the great mass of work out there, a task to which the editors at McSweeneys are committed. One of the best models of curation out there is the Kingsley-Tufts Poetry Awards, he notes. Once good poetry is winnowed out, it can speak to people across the country. The audience is there, he said, noting that many McSweeneys subscribers hail from places like rural Kansas as opposed to rarified academic communities. Theres hope for poetry, he said, and even hope for its critics. Maybe sometime well even sign up Mr. Epstein, Mr. Nathan said. Wed be glad to bring him in out of the cold. More on Ms. Boruch and Ms. Steidlmayer is available online at www.claremont-courier.com.

Pardon my French
by Mellissa Martinez
ave you ever said pardonne moi instead of excuse me or an extravagant au revoir, bon voyage for goodbye, have a great trip? We English speakers love to fancy up our conversations with French. As it turns out, this is nothing newpeople have been doing it for centuries.
Although a word may be firmly planted in the English lexicon, it often still carries an ancient air of French sophistication. I recently heard a TED talk in which the narrator compared the 2 English adjectives hearty and cordial. Although they both have the same root meaning, heart, and can be used interchangeably, they have very different connotations. Consider the difference between a hearty welcome and a cordial welcome. Hearty, in this case brings to mind back slapping-scenes, strong embraces and vociferous hollers, while cordial hints at polite smiles, handshakes and how-do-you-dos. According to the narrator, this difference in undertone can be linked directly to the words origins. The adjective hearty has been around a long time. Sometime in the 400s, the Anglos, Saxons and Jutes lived on the Island of Britain, speaking Old English. In the 700s, these Germanic tribes were invaded by

the Norse-speaking Danes, who brought many Old Norse words to the small island. The Old Saxon herta, heart, combined with the Old Norse, hjarta, heart, to become the Old English heorte, heart, breast, soul, spirit, desire and courage. Hearty developed by the 1300s, meaning courageous, spirited and zealous. Cordial, which comes from the Latin word for heart, cor, came to English from the French. In 1066, the Normans, Bretons and French invaded Britain and placed a French-speaking king on the throne. Along with the king came a French-speaking aristocracy and a strong bias for the language. Society was split into 2 levelsthe French-speaking upper class and the Old English-speaking peasants. Everyone considered French to be the more refined of the 2 languages,
even the peasants. When they wanted to sound fancy, they quickly learned to toss in a smattering of French words (not that different from our modern custom of saying Tarjay instead of Target). Cordial, which meant from the heart, had an almost identical meaning to hearty but its connotation was much fancier. This is still true today. Hearty is a salt-of-the-earth word used to describe greetings, people and even soups, while cordial is refined, polite and a bit distant. When we choose cordial over hearty, we may be influenced by the prejudice of the early 1000s without even realizing it. This intonation can be felt in other words as well. Consider the difference between knife and dagger, stop and desist, fart and flatulence, happy and content, mistake and error and bug and insect. Which word sounds fancier to you? Most agree that the latter of each group feels a bit more refined. Its no surprise that these words are from French, while the first word in each group comes from the languages spoken by Germanic tribes. I, for one, appreciate the French flair of a word. It gives us variety and adds to the flavor of English. And if, for some reason, a fancy French word doesnt come to mind, there is another solutionEnglish speakers can simply add the word French to boost a word. Think about ita braid, a maid and a kiss are all a little nicer when preceded by French.

Residents speak out on water issue, Golden State Buy the water company READERS COMMENTS
Dear Editor: On April 11 the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin published an editorial titled Claremont ought to buy out water firm, after the Bulletins opinion editorial board met with the League of Women Voters to discuss the proposed acquisition. (The board had previously met with Golden State Water.) Golden State Water has commissioned several much-publicized studies being used to persuade the public it would be foolhardy for Claremont to go ahead with acquisition. On April 16, Vice President Denise Kruger sent a letter to residents quoting studies published in the COURIER and the Bulletin. The label side of the mailer reads Your annual cost increase for the next 30 years would be $469.73 additional if city pays: $54 million, and $2,361.41 additional at $204 million. There is no mention of very real cost savings under a nonprofit municipal system, no recognition of the net difference, and no acknowledgment of the Bulletin editorial. In the Bulletin editorial board interview, the League compared the municipal water system in La Verne with the privately-owned system in Claremont. The board concluded the logic put forth in the League of Women Voters analysis makes sense: Ignore all that back-and-forth, and simply compare the water rates in La Verne and Claremont. Here are some of the facts that led to that conclusion: Claremont and La Verne are similar in water quality, water use per customer, age of the infrastructure, elevation and location, water sources (imported from the Delta and pumped from local wells), and population. There are important differences: La Verne owns its water system; Golden State Water (GSW) owns the Claremont system. La Verne sets its own rates; the PUC reviews Claremont rates proposed by GSW. La Verne rates are local; Claremonts rates are regional. La Verne charges only for water used; GSW bills include a service charge and adjustments. La Verne must use about two-thirds expensive imported water; Claremont about one-third to one-half. La Verne does not pay for water used by the city; Claremont does. The La Verne system is not taxed; GSWowned facilities are. La Verne has access to state and federal grants not available to GSW. La Vernes water income stays in the city; GSW (part of American States Water) is guaranteed a hefty profit. Executive salaries are high and not subject to local control. La Verne water rates for the average customer were approximately $52 less per month than the average rate in Claremont last year, according to usage and rate data from GSW and La Verne. But can the city afford to purchase the system? Will rates go up? We can afford the purchase, and very likely without raising rates above what they are now to fund the purchase. Lets assume that after Claremont acquires the system, local water users could be paying the same rates as LaVerne but, instead of lowering rates, the city kept them the same as they are now and used the extra income to pay for the purchase of the system. The citys income from its 11,000 water customers would be about $7 million per year (52 x 11,000 x 12), and there would be other savings as there are in La Verne. With this much money, the city could purchase a 30-year water bond worth about $150 million. There would be no need to raise taxes or for water users to pay more than they are now. But will the system cost more than $150 million? That seems unlikely since the infrastructure was recently appraised at $54 million. (In 2004, a price of $50 million was negotiated for the system. With water rights, the total negotiated was about $88 million.) GSW has shown they would like to deceive us. Water is a resource we can not do without. It should be under public control. Sally Seven and Betsey Coffman co-presidents League of Women Voters of the Claremont Area system so that we can have lower water rates comparable to the surrounding communities. While rate comparisons may be evidence that our rates are too high, they provide absolutely no insight about the potential level of post-acquisition rates. For example, if you were interested in buying a home in an established neighborhood, would you consider the level of the current owners mortgage payments? You shouldnt. The size of your mortgage payments will depend on the price you pay for the house, not on the price the current owner paid it for many years ago. Water systems are similar in that regard. False Concept: We need to buy the water system now because it would have been much cheaper years ago and will become even more expensive in the future. This is not an apples-to-apples comparison as Golden State invests millions of dollars in its water infrastructure every year. The key point is that at any time, the fair market value that we would have to pay to buy the water system will always be 2-to-3 times higher than Golden States investment on which our water rates are based. Much like the new purchaser of an older home, well only be paying a higher price for the future use of those same water facilities. False Concept: By buying the water system, we can avoid funding Golden States exorbitant profits in the future. Guess what? Future profits are reflected in the fair market value. By purchasing the water system, we pay those profits upfront, instead of over time. Profit has become a nasty word, but corporations are legal, not physical, entities. Much of Golden States profits go to small investors like you and me. And we indirectly benefit from profits that go to institutional investors such as insurance companies, which recover their costs either from profits on investments or through the premiums they charge. False Concept: We can avoid paying many costs such as taxes with a government-owned water system. The income taxes, property taxes, franchise fees, paving costs, etc. now paid by Golden State fund benefits that the government provides us. If we didnt pay these costs through water rates, we would have to pay for them through higher taxes or forgo those benefits. We cant have our cake and eat it, too. False concept: Purchasing the water system to gain local control will better protect our interests as opposed to relying on a public utilities commission located miles away in San Francisco. While this argument has some initial appeal, it is unrealistic. Water infrastructures require regular maintenance and investment to ensure continued, reliable performance. Last week, my home was without water for 24 hours due to an inside plumbing problem, reminding me how dependent I am on water. With local control, lower water rates would have priority over water system reliability. That would eventually catch up with us, as many city-owned systems are finding out. This week, a city near my workplace will be discussing a 75 percent rate increase because its water system is in need of substantial improvements to ensure continued quality and reliability of service.
Regulation of utility service by an objective state agency achieves a much better balance between water costs and water reliability. Dan DellOsa Claremont
How much will we pay?
[The following letter was sent to Golden State Water Company with a copy forwarded for publication. KD] Dear Golden State Water: I received your letter in the COURIER dated April 16, 2013 The letter explained that we, the residents of the city, will have to pay much higher water rates when the city buys the water system, but it was, in fact, a message letting us know the offer for the system is too high. Thank you for informing us, the residents of Claremont, that the citys pre-eminent domain offer to buy the Claremont water system owned by Golden State is, in fact, 30 percent too high. We can now clearly see the price should be $36 million and not $54 million. Eminent domain can occur with utilities when the government believes that the operator, left to his own devices, would behave in a way that is contrary to the communitys best interest. You must think about why we, as a city, want to take control of the water system. Claremont has a great aquifer laying under its feet, which is fed by the runoff from the San Gabriel Mountains. It provides much, but not all, of our water for the price of pumping. When the water system was owned by Southern California Water Company we enjoyed some of the least expensive rates in the area. Once Golden State bought the system, rates increased for the highest revenue enhancement available by the PUC. Obfuscation seems to rule the day now. Claremont now has about the highest water rates in the state. I have endured a more than doubling of my rates over the last 5 years. Claremont is angry about the monopolistic profiteering Golden State Water has shown us. Golden State Water, open your books and let us know why it is so much more expensive to run this water system than when your predecessor ran it. Lower our rates or risk losing the system.

Dear Editor: Golden State Waters mailer sent out last week is likely to generate another barrage of disparaging letters, so I want to address some misconceptions that will surely resurface: False concept: We need to buy the water
Dear Editor: In Golden States letter to customers dated April 16, they make the case that Claremont residents annual water bill will increase by 30 to 153 percent depending upon the value placed on the water company if Claremont is successful at acquiring it. I want to point out a few items that resulted from this letter. First, the fact that they wrote this letter indicates to me that they very much believe they have a strong asset to protect. A stream of income that is guaranteed to be collected over an infinite period of time which is controlled by a fairly nebulous regulatory agency is clearly a valuable asset that they want to protect. This makes me believe that this is an asset the community may very well want. Second, there is no doubt that water rates will go up in the short term if the city purchases the water company. Just about every individual that purchases a home makes the decision that their payment is going to go up when they convert from being a renter to an owner. They do this because they want to control their environment and by getting a long term mortgage they can fix their monthly payments. Every time a tree is planted, a street is built, or a freeway is constructed, a decision is made to expend money today for potential long term benefit. There is plenty of precedent for what Claremont is considering. Third, Golden States argument may just be short term. What they dont show us is that if water rates were to continue to increase at the rate of growth they have increased in the past, it is highly likely there will be a point in the future where rates will be lower if Claremont owns the water company versus continues to be a renter. This important analysis needs to be done, highly scrutinized and evaluating by our community. The acquisition of the water company is a long term decision. Long term decisions are difficult to make in a short term world. It is particularly difficult when you may not be the beneficiary of the decision because you may not live in Claremont at the time that this decision becomes financially beneficial (assuming that it does). I have not decided where I stand on this issue. For me, it is primarily an economic decision. Will the residents of Claremont be better off over the long run if the city owns the water company? Or are we better off continuing to be subject to a public company whose sole objective is in maximizing its return to its shareholders? They already own the water company so they have a distinct economic advantage in that they have already paid the acquisition costs. It is possible that this advantage, combined with potential operating efficiencies, may result in it not being to the residents advantage to take on this asset and liability. I have already made the decision that I am willing to pay more today for this potential long term benefit to the community. I think many others would be willing to do the same. The question is how much more would we pay and is it worth it? Brad Umansky Claremont
Sue Schenk named woman of distinction
ot only is Sue Schenks green thumb aiding in her noted work preserving Claremonts urban forest and open space, its also gaining her attention beyond the lush borders of the City of Trees. Ms. Schenk was recognized earlier this month as one of Congresswoman Judy Chus Women of Distinction, honoring women who have contributed to the betterment of the newly-designated 27th Congressional District. Ms. Schenk, whose contributions in Claremont are almost as tall and sweeping as the vines that climb the trellises of her prized garden, certainly fits the bill, asserts Mayor Opanyi Nasiali. She has been very active in the community and I thought it deserved recognition beyond local recognition, said Mr. Nasiali, who nominated Ms. Schenk for the honor. Ms. Schenk had been at it long before the recognition came. Her local activism has grown out of 2 passions, the first being her love for her children. A dutiful mother, Ms. Schenk spent many years with her mind swirling with craft ideas and cookie order forms as troop leader for her daughters Girl Scout troop. She also advocated for the Claremont Unified School District to provide an afterschool daycare program at all the elementary schools. As a working mom, daycare was essential and when the Schenks arrived in Claremont in 1982 there was no such program at her daughters school, Sycamore. This was something that shouldnt be used as a magnet, but that should be available to all working women, Ms. Schenk explained. Ms. Schenks second passion, her love of nature, compels her to work to preserve the citys natural spaces. As a botany professor, she works every day to inspire the curiousity of her students while also volunteering with Sustainable Claremont and other local groups dedicated to the environment. Ms. Schenk first developed her green thumb tending to the family vegetable garden as a young girl. She was an outdoor girl through-and-through, and found endless amusement in a vacant lot behind her childhood home in Norwalk. It was just a scruffy lot, but there were a lot of grasses and wildflowers and you could watch the different insects going around. I always enjoyed it, she said. People just seem to be born with a preference for different things, and plants is something Ive always really liked. As she went on to college and postgraduate studies, her love for plants turned into a living as she pursued a career in botany. She didnt always have the most cushy quarters, but she always found space for her plants. Even in her third-story flat in London, a plethora of perennials could be found nestled on her balcony along with a 4foot avocado tree flourished beside her front door. Her love for nature took on an even deeper importance in the late 1990s as she fought to preserve the Claremont Colleges Robert J. Bernard Biological Field Station from proposed development. Her nonprofit support group was instrumental in keeping the station intact. It remains an important part of Claremont today. Having a field station so close to the colleges is really unusual...and its just extremely important to giving a quality education to the undergraduates, Ms. Schenk expressed. There are so many other ways to address building issues, but there is no other way to address having a natural outdoor laboratory. Once its gone, its gone and the opportunity wont be there anymore for our students. The field station is not only instrumental for the students, but for the Claremont community as a whole, Ms. Schenk emphasized. When I was a kid, there seemed to be many more opportunities to go out and engage with nature. As time has gone on, those seem to be decreasing, she recognized. There are a lot of kids who come up to the field station who have never been to a natural area, and they dont know anything about how the plants and animals interact. [The field station] is at least one place where some of those problems can be addressed.
I just think natural areas ought to be preserved whenever you can do it, she added. With that in mind, her work to preserve open space has gone far beyond the field station to include service as the League of Women Voters natural resources chair, and as board member and co-founder for Sustainable Claremont, a grassroots group dedicated to keeping Claremont green. Through her work with the Friends of the Field Station, she realized the city didnt have a clear understanding of the value of natural open spaces. So when it came to the general plans revision, Ms. Schenk was quick to volunteer. She was at the helm again when it came to developing a sustainability plan for the city, as well as starting the grassroots group that would become Sustainable Claremont. She furthers her advocacy today as president of Sustainable Claremonts garden club. Susans unrelenting commitment to sustainability and to building a greener community is truly inspirational, Congresswoman Chu said. Susan is a leader in promoting sustainability and protecting Claremonts unique environment, both for residents today and for generations still to come. But while some may consider it inspirational, Ms. Schenk merely considers it a part of her daily duty. Its part of our responsibility, Ms. Schenk said. We should be good stewards as much as possible.

Author, theologian Jim Wallis to lead chapel

Jim Wallis will be preaching at Claremont School of Theologys chapel service on Tuesday, April 30. All are welcome to attend the service, which runs from 4 to 4:45 p.m. Mr. Wallace is a bestselling author, public theologian and president/cofounder of the Washington, DC-based Christian ministry Sojourners. In his latest book, On Gods Side: What Religion Forgets and Politics Hasnt Learned about Serving the Common Good, he makes the case that its time to reframe our national priorities. He is on a nation-wide book tour to urge Americans to return to the idea of the Common Good, a central value for the Claremont School of Theology and the other members of the Claremont Lincoln University consortium as well as among all the major religions of the world. When did we trade the idea of public servants for the false idols of power and privilege? asks Mr. Wallis. When did we trade governing for campaigning? And when did we trade valuing
those with the best ideas for rewarding those with the most money? Weve lost something as a nation, he continues, when we can no longer look at one another as people, as Americans, andfor people of faithas brothers and sisters. Differing opinions have become worst enemies and political parties have devolved into nothing more than petty games of blame. After the service, On Gods Side will be available for purchase and Mr. Wallis will be available for book-signing. Mr. Wallis is the author of 10 books, including the New York Times bestseller Gods Politics, and is the editor-inchief of Sojourners magazine (www.sojo.net/ magazine). His columns appear in major newspapers and blogs, and he regularly appears as a television and radio commentator.He is a husband, father of 2 young boys, and a Little League baseball coach.

Scripps College olive oil named best of show

This years Los Angeles International Extra Virgin Olive Oil Competition recently awarded Scripps College Best of Show for its entry in the domestic, delicate category. There were 9 Best in Show awards, out of 640 entries from 386 producers. It was a trio of firsts for the college: first place in the competition, the first time Scripps had entered the contest and the first time Scripps had produced olive oil from its campus trees. Scripps Col-
lege harvested its olive treesa beloved fixture on the leafy campus last November as part of a campuswide sustainability movement sparked by a popular course, The Politics and Culture of Food, taught by Professor Nancy Neiman Auerbach. Once slated for permanent removal because of campus construction, the olive trees were saved due to student protests in the 1960s; they were temporarily removed, boxed and replanted in their original location. The oil, from 1500 pounds of fruit, was processed in Ojai and resulted in 700 8-ounce bottles of oil, described by the olive press owner as fruity, buttery and smooth. The oil was offered for sale to the Scripps community and, to date, sales have covered all production costs.

Helen Warfel
Teacher, writer, mother
Helen Margaret Kirkpatrick Warfel died on January 30, 2013 in her apartment at Casa de las Campanas in Rancho Bernardo, San Diego. She was 93. Mrs. Warfel was born on January 1, 1920 in Pomona, California. As a child, she lived in Eagle Rock and spent her teenage years in Hawaii. Her time there impressed her so much that she retained a lifelong love for all things Hawaiian, returning to the islands as often as possible over the years. She attended Eagle Rock High School and, in the family tradition, graduated from Occidental College. In September 1942, she married fellow Oxy student C. Guy Warfel. They had 2 children, Margaret Helen Warfel and Chester Guy Warfel, Jr. Mrs. Warfel earned her teaching credential and masters degree at Claremont Graduate School and won Ford Foundation grants for Innovation in Elementary Education while teaching at Sycamore Elementary School in Claremont, California. Grant F. Sontag first met Mrs. Warfel in the fall of 1960 when his mother walked him from their new house on Indian Hill Boulevard to Sycamore Elementary School where he was starting first grade. He remembers waiting outside by the courtyard when the door to Room 10 swung open. There stood this tall (almost 6 feet), gracious, soft-spoken woman who said, simply, Come in children, Mr. Sontag said. I fell in love with her right then and there. Sycamore was on the cutting edge of education in the 1960s, and Mrs. Warfel was particularly brilliant, he noted. Everything in her classroom was meticulously organized and labeled and she employed a puppet named Mighty Mouse to help impart lessons. He lived Mr. and Mrs. Warfel became like surrogate parents to Mr. Sontag, who developed a lifelong friendship with his first-grade teacher. He would visit them at their home in La Verne and also enjoyed several getaways at the Warfels small, rustic cabin in Idyllwild. One memorable visit, remains a cherished memory. It rained durng the night and the temperature dropped below freezing, he remembers. In the morning when we opened the door, all the tree branches had a thin coating of ice. The sun was out and there was a gentle breeze, making the rubbing branches sound like chimes, Mr. Sontag continued. We bundled up and went for a walk, surrounded by this winter wonderland. It was simply enchanting. Mr. and Mrs. Warfel spent several post-retirement years on the South Pacific island of Saipan, where they worked with the local school district to improve education for the islanders. After their island years, they relocated to Fallbrook, California in 1978 where they were closer to their children. Mr. Warfel started another career in manufacturing, and they traveled extensively. The Warfels, who were classical music aficionados, were also active in the Fallbrook Music Society. Mrs. Warfel was a voracious reader, who delighted in biographies and childrens literature. She was an accomplished writer herself, and several of her childrens stories were published in school textbooks. In addition, she researched and wrote A Quiet Man, a Kirkpatrick family history and biography of her father, Harry Allister Kirkpatrick. She began writing short, poignant poems (she called them rhymes) as a teenager and continued authoring them well into her 80s, much to the delight of her fam-
OBITUARIES
ily and friends. Mrs. Warfel was a gifted individual, according to family. She regularly presented her children and friends with charming and colorful artwork on handmade cards. Mrs. Warfel is survived by her children, Margaret (Marty) and Chester (Chet); by her grandchildren, Darren, Chris, Alex, Guy, Kirk and Sarah; and by her great-grandchildren, Isabella, Samantha, Luke, Liam, Oliver and Emerson. God bless you, Mom, and thank you for being such a good and loving mother, friend and teacher, her children shared. We miss you and know that you are now truly at peace. Her ashes will be interred in a family area at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale, California. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Mrs. Warfels beloved Fallbrook Music Society, PO Box 340 Fallbrook, CA 92028.
in a tall closet only Mrs. Warfel could reach, he recalled, and he only spoke in a whisper into her ear, so she had to tell her students everything he was trying to teach them. Mr. Sontag and his peers were mesmerized each time Mighty Mouse made an appearance. She had an instinctive love of children, and she used such creative methods of teaching, Mr. Sontag said. When we would paint, she would put our finished artwork on an easel and call us one by one to sit next to her and tell her what the piece was about. If I said, for example, This is an elephant sitting in a tree eating cotton candy, then that is exactly what she would write beneath the picture in her steady hand and beautiful printing, Mr. Sontag continued. There was no challenge to our worldview as there might be elsewhere: Elephants dont sit in trees and they certainly dont eat cotton candy. Helen affirmed us as individuals and helped us blossom.

Mr. Collins was born on May 29, 1925, the son of Archibald and Helen Collins, in Hollywood, California, where he grew up. In 1941, at age 17, he joined the Navy, where his father was already serving, and was active in the Pacific Theatre of World War II. He was on watch on the bridge of the USS Bunker Hill on the morning of May 11, 1945 when the aircraft carrierwhich was supporting the invasion of Okinawa was hit by 2 kamikaze Japanese planes. He recorded the attack, which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of the ships crew, in the ships log. At the wars end, Mr. Collins attended Ventura Junior College and then UC Santa Barbara, where he met his wife-to-be, Gay Coleman.

James Weber
James Calvin Weber, a longtime Claremont resident, died on April 21, 2013. He was 70. Mr. Weber was born on February 3, 1943 in Indianapolis, Indiana. He graduated from Indiana Central College with a bachelors degree and then attended Azusa Pacific University, where he received a masters degree in special education. He started teaching in Indiana and then taught at Sierra Vista High School in Baldwin Park for 17 years, leading special education, science and physical education classes as well as coaching football and baseball. He married his wife Muriel on August 1, 1970 in Pasadena and the couple settled in Claremont in 1975. Their son, Justin James Weber, played baseball with Claremont Little League, where Mr. Weber volunteered as a coach for many years. The Webers loved real estate and bought rental houses and apartment buildings until, eventually, they were able to make being landlords their profession. A member of the Glendora Country Club since 1994, Mr. Weber loved golf and developed a pretty good game. He also enjoyed traveling and visited many far-flung locations, including Eu-
OBITUARIES
Mr. Webers friend of 40 years, Dennis Cauthron, also emphasized his giving ways. Jim was an extremely generous person. He gave of himself personally and financially, Mr. Cauthron said. He was an excellent teacher loved by his students, and he helped many of them out in a personal way. Mr. Weber was an upbeat person who always kept the big picture in mind, his wife noted. He was always living for the next day, Mrs. Weber said. Id bring up something that happened and hed say, That was yesterday. He never looked at yesterday. He only looked at tomorrow. Mr. Cauthron was privileged to glimpse some of his optimistic friends peak moments. He loved sports, especially golf, and his happiest times may have been finishing second and first in consecutive years at the Teeter Tournament at the Glendora Country Club, he related. Even toward the end of his life, when he was in declining health and missing the golf links, Mr. Weber was a pleasure to be around, according to Cyndi Wright, a nurse who assisted him during the last 5 months of his life. I loved him. He had the best sense of humor, Ms. Wright said. He always had some kind of sarcastic answer to everything. It made things interesting. At the start of her nursing career, she counts working with Mr. Weber as a rewarding experience and an important turning point. He really made me realize that this is exactly the right career path for me, she said. Mr. Cauthron said not a day will pass that Mr. Weber is not missed by family and friends. As a personal friend, I am comforted to know he is with the Lord, Mr. Cauthron shared. Mr. Weber is survived by his loving wife of 42 years, Muriel Weber; by his son, Justin James Weber; and by 2 brothers, Stephen Weber of Chicago and Phil Weber of Pasadena. A memorial service for Mr. Weber will be held at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 27 at the First Baptist Church of Claremont, 472 N. Mountain Ave. All who knew and loved him are welcome. For information, call 624-4496. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that donations be made to the City of Hope in Duarte, 1500 E. Duarte Rd., Duarte CA 91010, or to the Salvation Army.

Bob Edgar, former president of Claremont School of Theology and 6-term Pennsylvania congressman, died unexpectedly at his home in Burke, Virginia. He was 69. Since 2007, Mr. Edgar was president and CEO of Common Cause, a nonpartisan, grassroots organization dedicated to increasing accountability in government. During his most recent appearance on CSPAN, he advocated for increased transparency in campaign finance. Bob Edgar led this school to increased viability, visibility and vibrancy during his 10-year tenure, said Jerry D. Campbell, president of the Claremont School of Theology. We are saddened to learn of his untimely passing, and our prayers are with his family, friends, and the staff of Common Cause. An ordained elder of the United Methodist Church, Mr. Edgar came to Claremont in 1990 after a period of acute financial distress at the school. Over the next 10 years, he led the school through a period of growth, fundraising and intellectual vitality. He also oversaw the rebranding of the institution to its current name, and the Edgar Community Center on campus today bears his name. After his tenure at CST, he led the National Council of Churches for 7 years, where he addressed issues of poverty, environmental degradation, international peace and interfaith relations. Mr. Edgar leaves a distinguished legacy in public service. He was elected to the US House of Representatives in 1974 to represent the Seventh Congressional District of Pennsylvania, and was part of the congressional class nicknamed the Watergate babies, those elected in the wake of the Watergate scandal, who led sweeping reforms of Congress. During his 6 terms there, he led efforts on a number of environmental and reform bills, and worked on veterans issues including Agent Orange and readjustment counseling for those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. Mr. Edgar, who was born May 29, 1943 and was raised in Springfield, Pennsylvania, received a bachelors degree from Lycoming College in Williamsport, Pennsylvania and a Masters in Divinity from the Theological School of Drew University in Madison, New Jersey. He sat on the boards of several organizations, including the National Coalition on Health Care, the Environment and Energy Study Institute; the National Foundation on Alternative Medicine, Drew University; and the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy. Mr. Edgar was the author of Middle Church, a call to progressive people of faith to take back the moral high ground from religious extremists and make America a better and less divided country. He is survived by his wife, Merle Edgar, and 3 sons, Andrew, David and Rob.

Healing others brings pure joy to ViNA founder
nita Boling, founder and executive director of the local nonprofit Village Network Africa (ViNA), has found her own sense of healing in healing others. Explaining how she has come this far, Ms. Boling quotes the adage she references in the name of her nonprofit: It took a village.
After her husbands passing, the nurse and health educator has dedicated herself to ViNA and its aim of improving the health of women and villagers in Africa, and found it has given back to her in spades. She prepares to return to Africa with volunteers next month to continue improving life for rural villagers in Tanzania. Its a joy to me. I feel like I am really making a difference with the poorest of the poor in the world, Ms. Boling said. We are talking about people who dont have plumbing, dont have electricity, and dont have food a lot of times. It means the world to be able to make a difference for them. Ms. Boling felt the call to go to Africa long before the trip actually happened. As associate dean of nursing at California Baptist University in Riverside, Ms. Boling began planning the schools first Rwandan mission trip, set to take place in the spring of 2007. She planned to attend along with her students when tragedy struck. In the midst of planning the trip, her husband was killed in a fatal car accident in late November of 2006. Despite her loss, Ms. Boling returned to work with the intent of continuing with the Rwandan missionary trip. But co-workers worried about her and asked her to stay behind. Her calling never went away and Ms. Boling worked to heed it. Sure enough, another opportunity soon presented itself. A missionary friend of hers encouraged her to begin her own nonprofit. Without hesitation, she poured herself into the endeavor and was surprised at the response she got from friends and family. I couldnt believe the amazing people that came out of the woodwork to help, Ms. Boling said. They have really come together and helped make this happen. With a team of nurses, physicians and educators, Ms. Boling and volunteers began work in Uganda in 2007. Their efforts began with animal and agricultural projects and gradually shifted to include health issues, a passion of Ms. Bolings. As a registered nurse and developmental psychologist, the topic is near and dear to her heart. She used her expertise and the experience of her volunteers to implement health education and build a fully furnished vocational-technical school. Ms. Boling and ViNa volunteers also helped installed wells as well as health clubs
It has taken a lot of trial-and-error. While the tippy taps in general are widely successful, the original design had to be modified as Villagers explained the goats liked to eat the hanging soap. They have moved the soap higher up to prevent that from happening. We learn so many interesting things, Ms. Boling laughed. While there have certainly been obstacles in spreading the word, a return visit to Tanzania last year proved that their efforts are making the change they desire. The diarrhea epidemic has stopped and incidents of malaria have been greatly reduced, according to Ms. Boling. Water is being boiled and covered. They are simple changes, but making a huge impact, Ms. Boling shared. However, the work does not stop at teaching sterilization practices. Villagers have asked ViNA to help teach Photo courtesy of Anita Boling them about natural family planning and first aid, along with solving issues of Anita Boling, CEO and founder of Village Network Africa, seen here during her spousal abuse and reducing the matermost recent trip to Tanzania where she works to fight rural village poverty. nal mortality rate, which is currently where villagers could go for health eduthe second highest in the world.

Prius raffle benefits students in Claremont schools
ith over 150 people packing into Claremont Toyota on Sunday afternoon, the Claremont community witnessed how everyone wins with the Claremont Educational Foundation (CEF) Prius Raffle.
For the third year in a row, Claremont Toyota donated a Toyota Prius raffled off by the CEF. The big winner of the day was Jared Anderson of Claremont when the sprightly Ella Hogan, all of 3 years old, pulled his winning ticket from the CEF drum. Mr. Anderson bought his lucky ticket from Claremont High School Cheer. CHS Cheer, in addition to receiving a portion of their ticket sales, also received a $100 bonus for selling the winning ticket. Mr. Anderson was both thrilled and shocked upon learning the good news. I cant believe that such a little investment would have such a big dividend. I am thrilled to win the Prius, and I am so happy to support all the good work that CEF does. My kids are 2 and 3 years old and will definitely benefit from the programs funded by CEF when they start school here in Claremont in the next few years, Mr. Anderson said. Another winner in the Prius raffle was Condit School for selling over 200 tickets. Condit will earn a portion of the tickets sold plus a $500 bonus for selling the most tickets. Chaparral School came in just behind Condit and will receive a $100 bonus plus a portion of tickets sold. Kim Patterson, Condit PFA president and a supporter of CEF, said, The raffle is a great fundraiser for CEF and, more importantly, helps our schools. Without CEF, we would not be able to fund all of the programs that mean so much to our kids. Jim Elsasser, Claremont Unified School District superintendent, echoed the importance of CEF. This is a big fundraiser for CEF, which keeps art and music alive in our elementary schools and technology education vibrant in the secondary schools, Mr. Elssasser said. Because of the success of programs like this, the foundation has been able to provide even more funding to the schools. The raffle event was enhanced by a performance of the I Love Chorus programa childrens choral collaboration between CUSD and the Claremont Community School of Musicand food and refreshments provided by The Pita Pit and the DoubleTree Hotel, both Claremont businesses. Ken Corhan, CEF board president, pointed out that the event is possible because of the wide support of

the whole community. This support underscores how committed our community is to enriching the quality of our childrens education, Mr. Corhan said. Throughout the year, we have multiple opportunities for people and businesses to step up and participate. We are always gratified by the ongoing commitment of the entire community, and we need only look to Claremont Toy-
ota as one example of the loyal and generous patrons we have partnered with, and we look forward to this continued partnership. For Steve Hogan, general manager of Claremont Toyota (and father to Ella), supporting the community and CEF is important to his family. With budget cuts, funding is a challenge for the district and since we have been such a blessed family, we want to pass the blessings on to the Claremont community, Mr. Hogan said. The Prius raffle raised over $30,000 to support enhanced programs in Claremont schools. Lauren Landa, a fourth-grader at Chaparral and attendee at the event, summed it up. Claremont is a small town with a big heart, Lauren said. The people here just care about us kids.

Home tour raises funds for childrens organization
or more than 2 decades, the Claremont/West End Auxiliary of Childrens Fund has been hosting its annual Entertaining In Style tour showcasing Claremonts beautiful homes for charity. Treat yourself in style this year with a tour of 4 outstanding houses in Claremont, all while you enjoy complimentary refreshments and an arts and crafts fair, on April 27 and 28.
All proceeds from the event will benefit at-risk children in the Inland Empire through the Childrens Fund. Charlene Betts, longtime member of the Claremont/West End Auxiliary of Childrens Fund, further
describes the function of the charity. According to Ms. Betts, one in 4 children suffer from poverty in San Bernardino County. The Childrens Fund is unique because it provides something as simple as a bus pass for a child to get to school, she said, in addition to necessities such as food, clothing, medical care and emotional support. And we can do it quickly. Among other projects, the Childrens Fund also provides support to children suffering from abuse and helps find appropriate foster homes and opportunities to help them achieve their goals. Guests can walk away with some unique home improvement ideas, or simply have a distinct experience exploring art collections and beautiful landscaping. One of the homes being featured is a classic craftsman home originally designed by Green & Green in 1900s. This historic home has been exquisitely restored by Hartman & Baldwin of Claremont. All
homes also feature creative touches by local florists. Whether you are a history buff, an art enthusiast, or a supporter of local businesses, this event will cater to your interests and more. The Claremont/West End Auxiliary of Childrens Fund is also offering opportunity tickets for a chance to win one of 3 prizes: a $500 shopping spree at Victoria Gardens; box seats for 3, including parking, to a game at Angels Stadium; and $500 worth of dining opportunities at Inland Empire restaurants. The home tour will be held Saturday and Sunday, April 27 and 28 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $30 in advance and $35 at the door. Tickets include refreshments. For information regarding ticket locations, call 624-5781 or 920-9438.

ith one avid Cabaret lover and another who had never been able to get into the show, we entered the Candlelight Pavilion with a wide range of expectationsand they were all blown out of the water.
The Inland Valley Repertory Theatre (IVRT) companys 50th production was Kander and Ebbs Cabaret. The show, which has won 12 Tony Awards and 8 Academy Awards, focuses on 1930s Berlin at the rise of Hitlers reign. Cabarets cast of characters spend much of their time singing and dancing at the Kit Kat Klub and dealing with personal dramas at Fraulein Schneiders boardinghouse. With the flashy costumes and set, we were drawn in to the exciting yet seedy world of Cabaret. The live orchestra set the scene for the nightclub giving it
IVRT performs a Candlelight Cabaret

just the right ambience as the cabaret girls came out on the stage to do their first routine. One of our favorites was the Two Ladies number featuring the Emcee, John LaLonde and 2 women from the ensemble. This comical number comments on Cliff and Sallys unusual living conditions. Mr. LaLonde continues to entertain throughout the show even dancing in drag and doing the splits. Another favorite was Jordan Killion singing the solo Tomorrow Belongs to Me. This anthem to the fatherland slowly descends into a darker, Nazi-inspired marching song bringing a somber mood to the show right as the curtain came down for intermission.

Community gathers for A Taste of Claremont

or those familiar with the Rotary Club of Claremonts noon meeting, brimming with delicious food and robust song, it comes as no surprise that Rotarians do up fundraising in a similar grand fashion.
Such was the case last weekend when the local chapter of the international nonprofit decked out the Claremont University Consortium for its 14th annual Taste of Claremont fundraiser. Claremont food and drink vendors swept the expanse of the centers outdoor area, while gift-laden baskets and fancy prizes like the noted $2000 pendant from Ben Bridges dazzled indoors. Hundreds of guests milled about to indulge as much as possible in the endless choicessaucy Italian from Spaggis, smooth tequila tastings at Espiauswhile stopping for a twist to the tunes of the live band in between. Food for all and a little exposure for Claremont merchants is a winning combination, says club secretary and this years Taste of Claremont organizer Tim Harrison. You get to eat, drink and be merry, Mr. Harrison said. And at the same time, youre donating to a good cause. Indeed, there is incentive to the merriment beyond the opportunity to indulge culinary inclinations and fill stomachs. Proceeds for the event are donated to the Rotarys philanthropic endeavors, from working to eradicate polio internationally to helping locals in need through donations to Intervalley Hope Partner and their Bikes for Kids program. Though its hard to imagine anything but the extravagant affair the Taste of Claremont has become, the event started from humble beginnings as a mere wine and cheese night for Rotary members and their spouses at Pomona Colleges Seaver House. Bobby Hyde and several other new Rotarians had been tasked with putting the event together and found most of the work done for them. One afternoon of phone calls, and Full of Life Bakery had sponsored all the food and drink needed for the social gathering, which drew between 100-200 people. Somehow, we ended up making a little money, said Mr. Hyde. So we decided lets do it again. After further success the second yearwith 8 vendors and 450 people in attendanceMr. Hyde posed a question: Why not open the event up to the public? I remember when I posed that idea, people looked at me like I had hole in my head. You want to do that much work? Mr. Hyde recalled. But he knew from experience the generosity of Claremont businesses if simply asked. That year, the event took place in Taylor Hall with 2 live bands, 28 vendors and close to 900 people. The Taste has only grown from there. The tents were taken down at Taylor Hall and the event was moved to the new consortium building in 2012 to accommodate the crowds while strengthening the clubs partnership with the Claremont Colleges. The venue change brought a whole new element to the event, according to Mr. Harrison. It really transformed it into a dinner walk centered around the different tastings, and as a fun place to hang out and dance the night away, Mr. Harrison said. Attendee Julie Martin, director of AbilityFirst in Claremont, was so taken with the transformation, she joked that she plans to steal some of their ideas for AbilityFirsts Fest of the West fundraiser to be held at the Consortium building in June. Her favorite aspect, in fact part of what brought her back, is learning about the different mom-and-pop eateries Claremont has to offer. It was at Taste of Claremont last year that she discovered one of her favorite local joints, Eddies Pizzeria & Eatery. I spend like $45 there a week, she laughed. Its great exposure [for the vendors]. Others were equally enamored. This blows the Taste of La Verne away, said Eric Crumbaker. Check out the COURIERs After Hours blog for a full slideshow of the event.

Peter Harper embraces art, music by counting his blessings
he Harper boys used to have a pretty clear division of talents. Ben Harper, who recently joined acts like Booker T. Jones and Justin Timberlake in performing at the White House, has risen to international fame as a musician. Joel Harper, author of the childrens book All the Way to the Ocean and proprietor of the Freedom Three publishing company, is the writer. And Peter Harper, who is known for bronze creations ranging from large-scale sculptures to one-of-a-kind belt buckles, is the artist of the family.
COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff Peter Harper, once known primarily for his visual art, has developed into a singer/songwriter, becoming adept at the tenor guitar. He will be performing at Claremont's Folk Music Festival on June 15.
In truth, its never been that cut-and-dry. Joel is also a musician, adept at instruments ranging from the didgeridoo to the slide guitar, and has notably collaborated with Reggae legends Burning Spear on a song about saving the oceans. Ben is not just a talented guitarist and soulful singer but also a gifted writer, as evinced by his evocative lyrics. (Weve been living like its raining/When its just been pouring down sun/Weve been living as if life is over/ When it has only just begun.) Peter, who will hit the stage this June at Claremonts annual Folk Music Festival, grew up in the same musicdrenched atmosphere as his brothers. Their grandparents, Charles and Dorothy Chase, founded the Folk Music Center in 1958, and their mother, Ellen ChaseVerdries, manages the store today. Still, it took him a bit longer than his siblings to cultivate a second primary form of expression. Besides, he had plenty else to do. Peter had set his mind on becoming a sculptor. While at Pitzer College, he studied figurative sculpture in Zimbabwe for a year. You might think he came back steeped in the aesthetics of African art, but the experience was quite the opposite. His class had a GrecoRoman emphasis, with realism trumping expressionism. [My teacher] was adamant about everything being proper and accurate, Mr. Harper recalled. If I made anything abstract, he would cut it to pieces and Id have to go back to the drawing board. Once he was back in the States, attending graduate school at New York University, he relished the freedom of having a professor who was not paying attention. It wound up being great, Mr. Harper said. I took everything I had learned, which was important as a foundation, and began to abstract it. He got back to work, making piece after piece, with his sculptures growing increasingly larger and more intricate. If music was sounding its siren call, he wasnt listening. I wasnt in a place where I could switch gears. I just sculpted all the time, he said. Mr. Harper also branched out into bronze belt buckles, which he still makes today, with designs ranging from suns, moons and guitars to more abstract fare. A lot of my sculptures are 4 or 5 feet tall, and casting in bronze is very expensive, Mr. Harper said. I wanted to make something smaller, where people can see the work, enjoy it and still walk away with something they can afford. Breaking the mold He has remained prolific, sculpting and, over the last few years, embarking on a project called Faces of Life, in which he makes molds of peoples faces. So far, Mr.
Harper has captured 270. Some of these faces belong to everyday people, like a waiter at Canters just trying to make it and an ex-convict recently released from prison. Other subjects include people who are more widely recognized, like actor Woody Harrelson and funk legend George Clinton. He managed to capture the visage of Henry Rollins, the former Black Flag frontman who is now an activist and spoken word artist, and struck up a friendship that has lasted past the molding process. This association helped Mr. Harper coax the edgy performer to join the bill at this years Folk Music Festival. Mr. Harpers goal is to mold 365 faces, one for every day of the year, with a Noble Prize winner and a former president among them. He plans to cast them in bronze and showcase them in a traveling show. He envisions each face being identified by a number that exhibition visitors can use to call up a short video about the subject and their face-molding process. Mr. Harper admits his ambitions are lofty. I never think of the least common denominator. If Im going to shoot for something, Im going to shoot for the biggest, the greatest, he explained. I dont always get it, but the journey is always and inevitably phenomenal. Changing his tune It may seem like Mr. Harper has more than enough on his plate between art, parenting his 2 young children and his job as an art professor at California State University Channel Islands, but all those years surrounded by musicians had more of an impact on him than he knew. Four years ago, he gave into a growing hankering to play music. He knew he would need time to get good at an instrument but didnt want to carry around something clunky like a guitar. So he picked up what is arguably the least intimidating of all the stringed instruments: the 4-string ukulele. Once he gained some mastery, he began writing songs. I took the ukulele everywhere I went, Mr. Harper said. When it was bedtime for my kids, I would sing the songs I had written. The kids didnt care whether I was any good. One day, he was practicing when Folk Music Center employee and music teacher Jerry OSullivan overheard him. He asked if Mr. Harper had played the 4string tenor guitar before, and suggested he give it a try. He said dont worry about the chords; itll be the same chords in a different key, Mr. Harper recalled. I
picked it up and started playing a song I had written on ukulele, and it was spectacular. I thought, you can play this. Wow! While he still plays and writes tunes on ukulele, he has found his musical soul mate in the tenor guitar. If you write a heartbreaking love song on the ukulele, it still finds a way to sound a bit cheery, Mr. Harper said. On the tenor guitar, a heartbreaking love song sounds like a heartbreaking love song. When it was time for him to come out of the closet as a musician, Mr. Harper was just as worried about sharing his music with Joel and his mom as he was about playing for Ben. My mom and brothers are so good. They are not going to say, Thats great if its terrible. Theyll say, Thats terrible. Keep practicing, he said. The first time I played a song for my mom, I was so nervous, I could hardly get through it. It was the same performing for Joel. Mr. Harper was deeply gratified when, after he sent a couple songs to Ben, his brother said, Pete, these are like real songs. Theyre ready to go. Although he jokes that the only one who plays tenor guitar in this day and age is me and 3 or 4 old ladies, Mr. Harper is now an adept tenor guitarist. Since he made his debut at a small beachside bar last Christmas, he has been honing his performing skills. He is also working on an album, which he is recording, at his brothers invitation, at Bens home studio. As far as his vocals, the singing just seems to come naturally. Perhaps its in the genes. Mr. Harpers greatest musical accomplishment was arguably when his mother asked if he wanted to perform at the Folk Music Festival, a full-circle experience for a man who has been to nearly all of the past 29 festivals, often helping out selling T-shirts and other wares. Words dont explain how lucky I am to have the mother I had, he said. She worked, she played music, she parented. She went back to school and got her bachelors degree, her masters and her PhD. She never stopped doing the things that meant something to her. The Folk Music Festival will be held on Saturday, June 15 at the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Gardens.

Spring celebration honors lives of special centenarians
he Claremont Manor Care Centers yearly Spring Celebration, commemorating a season symbolic of new life and rebirth, was particularly poignant this year as it also honored more than 200 combined years of continued life both past and present.
Residents Stella Weigle and Phyllis Mahler were featured among the 50 people gathered in the shade of the care center patio as both centenarians celebrated another year. Ms. Weigle celebrated her 101st birthday on April 4 while Ms. Mahler turned 102 years young on April 1. Fellow resident Aleda Rouw, whose 87th birthday fell on the day of this years Spring Celebration, was happy to share the spotlight. Its a privilege to be recognized along with these women, Ms. Rouw said of Ms. Weigle and Ms. Mahler, who happens to be Ms. Rouws roommate. The monumental moment was commemorated in true spring fashion. A pair of performers entertained with a maypole dance as care center employees fired up the grill for classic springtime fare, hot dogs and hamburgers with a side of potato salad included. Such spirited occasions are typical at the care center. Activities Director Albert Mam-
COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff Activities Director Albert Mambou presents a birthday cake to 102-year-old Phyllis Mahler, left, and 101-year-old Stella Weigle on Friday during a special party at Claremont Manor Care Center. In addition to the cake, the party included barbeque hot dogs and hamburgers and a folk dancing performance. Also at the party was Adelle Grizzard who will turn 101 in June.
bou makes it his mission to hold an event at least once a month if he can help it. Care center residents and their families appreciate his full-of-life approach. He pulls [life] out of them in turn, said Jill Rouw, Ms. Rouws daughter-inlaw. Holding an extra special celebration
for Ms. Weigle and Ms. Mahlers landmark birthday was of utmost importance to the social director: These folks are very enthusiastic, and are looking for ways to socialize and stay active, said Mr. Mambou, who is happy to keep encouraging them to maintain the lifestyle they seek. Ms. Weigle said purposeful living has
been vital to her long and healthy life. It began as a child when Ms. Weigle used to play with her 11 siblings among the local citrus, which has since been replaced by buildings and housing tracts. Not having the leisure of transportation also helped her to stay healthy. Everyday she dutifully walked to and from school before continuing her play among the groves. That active mentality continued into her adulthood, going to school for home economics, later raising a family and enjoying many travels with her husband. Now she enjoys daily meetups with her son Richard Weigle, who lives in the Manors independent living facilities. Ms. Mahler touts a similar repertoire of good health and active living, a lifestyle she refused to abandon when she moved to the Manor. She continued volunteerism with gusto and played piano for Manor guests well into her 90s, according to staff. Though suffering from back pains in the days before the Spring Celebration, she refused to give up on her previous mentality. She joined her friends in the middle of the sunlit courtyard with a smile that showed no signs of ailment. She deflects any personal achievement in reaching centenarian status by saying its merely a family trait. Im going to keep busy until its time to be right up there with my wonderful husband, she said.

Claremont High School triple jumpers have a little fun while waiting for their chance to jump on Tuesday during the Claremont and Ayala high school track meet. Final scores for the boys track team were not made available before press time.

Claremont High girls soccer goalkeeper Amanda Garvin has committed to Bemidji State for the 2013 season. Garvin was selected for the all-Sierra League team the last 2 seasons, and was a key member of the CIF title-winning team of 2012. The 5-foot-7 senior goalie will move to northern Minnesota to compete in NCAA Division II womens soccer, in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference. Beavers Coach Jim Stone commented on Garvin: Amanda comes from a great soccer background. She has a good soccer IQ and a good skill set. She can play with her feet in the back and distribute. Her positioning is solid, so she is able to begin the attack for us, but most importantly, she is a great shot stopper. In addition, she seems to have the ability to address others and guide the back line. We are really excited to have her.

A-4377910 04/26/2013, 05/03/2013, 05/10/2013 SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE NO. 2013-03 INTRODUCED AT THE REGULAR CLAREMONT CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 9, 2013 AND ADOPTED AT THE REGULAR MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2013 (Full text of this ordinance is on file in the office of the City Clerk) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CLAREMONT, AMENDING CHAPTER 16.036 OF THE CLAREMONT MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING INCLUSIONARY HOUSING REQUIREMENTS. The provisions in the Ordinance amend Municipal Code Chapter 16.036. Included in the revisions are: (1) Elimination of the inclusionary housing requirements for rental housing; and, (2) The replacement of the long-term covenant requirement with the principal recapture and equity sharing method. The following sections of the Claremont Municipal Code Chapter 16.036 are being amended: Where applicable, the term Regulations will be replaced with Administrative Manual, and the term Market Rate Units will be replaced with Unrestricted Units. Section 16.036.010 was revised so additional definitions were added, while some were deleted. Section 16.036.030.B was deleted since it related to requirements for rental housing. Section 16.036.030.C.1 was deleted as it is no longer applicable. Section 16.036.050.A.3 was revised to explain the requirements of the Equity Sharing Agreement. Section 16.036.050.E was revised to give the Community Development Department the authority to implement the chapter. Sections 16.036.060.C.1 and 2 were deleted as they are no longer applicable. Sections 16.036.060.E.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 were added to explain the tiered, forgivable equity share system. Section 16.036.070.A was revised to clarify what constitutes as a violation of the chapter. Section 16.036.080.2 was revised to replace the Executive Director of the Redevelopment Agency with the Director of Community Development. Section 16.036.080.3 was revised to remove the term Redevelopment Plan. The City Council has determined that the ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15061 (b) (3) of CEQA on the basis that the ordinance does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Adoption of the ordinance would not result in the approval of any new development project, result in any physical change in the environment, make any changes to the Citys adopted Land Use Plan, or change the intensity of any planned uses. The individual development projects to which the ordinance is applicable will be reviewed on a project-by-project basis for their own environmental impact. Therefore, no further environmental review is necessary.

Fryman, City Clerk of the City of Claremont, County of Los Angeles, State of California, hereby certify that the foregoing Ordinance No. 2013-03 was introduced at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Claremont on April 9, 2013, it was regularly passed and adopted by said Council, signed by the Mayor, and attested by the City Clerk of said City, all at a regular meeting of the City Council held on April 23, 2013, and that the same was passed and adopted by the following vote: AYES: COUNCILMEMBERS: PEDROZA, SCHROEDER, CALAYCAY, NASIALI NOES: COUNCILMEMBERS: NONE ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: LYONS ABSTENTIONS: COUNCILMEMBERS: NONE CITY CLERK CITY OF CLAREMONT Publish: Friday, April 26, 2013 SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE NO. 2013-04 INTRODUCED AT THE REGULAR CLAREMONT CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 9, 2013 AND ADOPTED AT THE REGULAR MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2013 (Full text of this ordinance is on file in the office of the City Clerk) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CLAREMONT, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CLAREMONT MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 16.033, AND ADDING SECTION 16.324.070 TO CHAPTER 16.324, TO MODIFY THE CITYS CODE PROVISIONS FOR DENSITY BONUSES AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING INCENTIVES IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE DENSITY BONUS LAW The ordinance amends Claremont Municipal Code Chapter16.033 to bring the City into compliance with state density bonus law. The ordinance replaces the Citys existing menu of density bonuses and concessions/incentives that are offered to developers that agree to include affordable housing units as part of proposed housing developments, with a new menu of density bonuses and concessions/incentives consistent with those required by state law. The ordinance expands the scope of projects that are eligible for density bonuses, and increases the number of concessions/incentives that developers of qualified housing developments are entitled. The ordinance also revises procedures for the granting of density bonuses and concessions/incentives, and codifies other requirements of the state density bonus law (California Government Code Sections 65915-65918). Required Density Bonus: A developer may receive a density bonus as follows: If at least five percent of the units are affordable to very low-income households, or ten percent of the units are affordable to low-income income households, then the project is eligible for a 20 percent density bonus. If ten percent of condominium or planned development units are affordable to moderate-income households, then the project is eligible to receive a five percent density bonus. In addition, there is a sliding scale that requires the following: An additional density bonus of 2.5 percent for each additional one percent increase in very low-income income units above the initial five percent threshold; An additional density increase of 1.5 percent for each additional one percent increase in low-income income units above the initial ten percent threshold; and, An additional one percent density increase for each one percent increase in moderate-income units above the ten percent threshold. These density bonuses reach a maximum density bonus of 35 percent when a project provides 11 percent very low-income units, 20 percent low-income units, or 40 percent moderate-income units if a condominium or planned development. An additional density bonus is allowed for a qualifying housing development that includes a childcare facility within or adjacent to the development. Continued Affordability: Units for low- and very low-income households must be income restricted for a minimum of 30 years, or for a longer term if required under another regulatory agreement. In the case of for sale moderate-income units, the law specifies that the initial occupants of units must meet the income qualifications. Upon resale of the units, the seller retains the down payment, the value of any improvements, and the sellers proportionate share of appreciation. The City recaptures its proportionate share of appreciation and the unit is allowed to become a market rate home, unless subject to provisions of another regulatory document, such as a development or housing agreement. Parking Standards: If a project qualifies for a density bonus, the developer may request, and the City must grant, new parking standards for the entire development project. The standards are: For zero to one bedroom units one on-site parking space For two to three bedroom units two on-site parking spaces For four or more bedrooms units two and one-half on-site parking spaces These numbers are inclusive of guest parking and handicapped parking and may be tandem or uncovered (but cannot be on-street). The parking standards may be requested even if no density bonus is requested. Concessions and Incentives: The City must grant more concessions or incentives reducing development standards, depending on the percentage of affordable units provided. Any project that meets the minimum criteria for a density bonus is entitled to one concession, increasing up to a maximum of three concessions depending upon the amount of affordable housing provided. Waivers and Modifications of Development Standards: The City may not impose a development standard that makes it infeasible to construct the housing development with the allowed density bonus. Therefore, in addition to requesting the incentives and concessions, to which they are otherwise entitled, applicants may request the waiver of an unlimited number of development standards if the waivers are needed to make the project physically feasible. The City must

grant a waiver or concession requested by the applicant unless a written finding is made, based upon substantial evidence, that either the waiver or concession is not required to provide for affordable housing, would have specific adverse impacts as defined in the law, or is contrary to state or federal law. Land Donation: Project applicants that donate land for affordable units are entitled to a density bonus if the donated land meets all of the following requirements: 1. Has the appropriate General Plan designation and zoning to permit construction of units affordable to very low-income households in an amount equal to not less than ten percent of the units in the applicants residential development; 2. Is at least one acre in size or of sufficient size to permit development of at least 40 units; and, 3. Can be served by adequate public facilities and infrastructure. The base density bonus is 15 percent, with increases in one percent increments for each percentage increase in the units that can be accommodated above the minimum ten percent of the units described in the first bullet above, up to a maximum of 35 percent. When the land is transferred, it must have all of the permits and approvals necessary for the development of the very low-income housing units. The land and affordable units must be subject to deed restrictions ensuring continued affordability of the units. The City or county may require that the land be transferred to a developer instead of the City. Conversion of Rental Housing to Condominiums: An applicant requesting approval for the conversion of existing rental housing to a community housing project who agrees to make at least 33 percent of total units affordable to low- or moderate-income households, or 15 percent of the total units to lower-income households, is eligible for a density bonus of 25 percent over the existing number of units in the building or structures proposed for conversion, or additional incentive(s) of equivalent financial value to the cost savings that would result from the allowed density bonus. Continuing Affordability of Units: The ordinance establishes processes for application submittal and review, and for ensuring continued affordability of units in qualified housing developments through a density bonus housing agreement. In the event that the applicant enters into an inclusionary or other regulatory agreement with the City, then a separate density bonus housing agreement shall not be required. Required provisions in the density bonus housing agreement include details about the target units, descriptions of the household groups or qualifying residents to be accommodated in the target units, and provisions to ensure the continued affordability and restricted use of target units. Community Housing Projects: The ordinance also makes revisions to Municipal Code Chapter 16.324, which addresses the conversion of rental housing to a community housing project (condominium). The new section codifies the provision of state law that provides for density bonuses for the conversion of rental housing to a community housing project if certain affordable units are included in the project.

Mason is a great real estate agent: knowledgable, patient, calm and persistent. He worked hard with us for over 5 months as we tried to find just the right home, and eventually we were successful. We looked at dozens of homes, made 5 offers and with Mason's help we have just moved into the right home in the Claremont Village. Without his guidance we would never have held firm to find this house. If you want a real estate agent who is neither pushy nor too laid back, who will spend time finding out what you want, then work hard to find it and show it to you before someone else gets it, give Mason a call.
