Grateful for La Casita
Dear Editor:
Nearly 70 years ago, the Claremont
community stepped forward to help make
possible a place for Claremonts Girl
Scouts to come together and connect with
the environment, build leadership skills
and create memories. That place is La Ca-
sita. Seventy years later, our city council
and staff members have stepped forward
to help make certain that La Casita re-
mains a place for the Girl Scouts of Clare-
mont and its surrounding areas with the
passage of a resolution at Tuesday nights
council meeting to support preservation of
La Casita.
We thank Claremont Mayor Joe Lyons
and Councilmembers Corey Calaycay,
Opanyi Nasiali, Sam Pedroza and Larry
Schroeder for their whole-hearted support
of and commitment to this resolution. We
would also like to thank City Manager
Tony Ramos, Assistant City Manager Colin
Tudor and the city staff for all the hard
work that went into researching and gath-
ering information to make this proposal
happen in a very small window of time.
The shared dedication of these people
for both the Claremont Neighborhood of
Girl Scouts and our towns historical con-
nection to La Casita shows that when it
comes to stepping forward to make im-
portant things happen within our commu-
nity, little has changed in 70 years. With
great appreciation,
The Claremont Neighborhood
of Girl Scouts
Culture of respect
Dear Editor:
I would like to comment on Dean
McHenrys viewpoint published October
10 on planning the future of the Wilder-
ness Park. He states that we need a culture
of respect to move the Wilderness Park
planning process forward and get us all
beyond the head-butting stage of neigh-
bors versus users. Yes, a culture of re-
spect is an excellent idea.
And to that wise perspective, I would
add that we can only lead by example. If
we wish to see the beneficial results of re-
spect for people, plants and animals on our
wilderness trails, we must simply take the
lead and set the example. I have some an-
ecdotal evidence that this works, at least
on a small scale.
I have been walking the upper stretch
of the Thompson Creek Trail, north from
the Indian Hill parking lot to the hub at
Pomello, nearly every morning for well
over 20 years. I used to see litter fairly
often along the trail and frequently in the
parking lots, but not anymore. There is re-
ally very little trash these days, even with
a significant increase in users. I believe
there are two main reasons for this.
For one, our city has done an excellent
job of providingand promptly empty-
inga good number of trash cans placed
along the trail. Secondly and more to the
original point, we regular trail-users have
silently, patiently, without obnoxious
Dont litter signage, established a no-
trash zone on the trail. I always carry a
small plastic bag and pick up whatever I
see. Everyone sees me doing this day after
day and people do thank me, which is
sweet but thats not the point.
Others are picking up the trash now too,
and the message has taken root. Even
when Ive been away for weeks, when I
return to the trail there is hardly ever a
scrap out of place. So if even just one or
two of you more energetic folks who reg-
ularly walk the higher elevation trails
would please take a small trash bag along
and fill it as you go, you would set the ex-
ample and start the train of respect in mo-
tion. Sounds hopelessly nave, I know, but
it might work. It did on our section of trail.

San Gabriel Mountains get national status
I
n view of the haze-shrouded San
Gabriel Mountains, President Barack
Obama declared 346,117 acres of na-
tional forest to the north of Claremont the
nations newest national monument.
The more than 540 square miles of the San Gabriel
Mountainsstretching from rugged areas of the An-
geles National Forest to Telegraph Peak, north of
Rancho Cucamongaare now designated as the San
Gabriel Mountains National Monument.
President Obama arrived via helicopter at Brackett
Field Airport on Friday, October 10 and caravanned
to Frank G. Bonelli Regional Park in San Dimas
where he addressed the media and roughly 200 in-
vited guests, including Claremont Councilman Sam
Pedroza. With snipers positioned on the hillside and
on a boat in Puddingstone Lake, the President took to
the podium and spoke about our nations history be-
fore signing an executive order proclaiming a portion
of the San Gabriel Mountains a national monument.
The story of the San Gabriel Mountains is in
many ways the story of America, the President said.
It is the story of communities exploring the Great
West, of Native Americans, Spanish missionaries,
colonialists and rancheros, merchants and landown-
ers. Its the story of prospectors in search of gold, of
settlers in search of a new life. Its the story that con-
tinues today, with one of the nations most vibrant, di-
verse communities in the backyard of the
second-biggest city in the country.
There havent been enough resources to manage
and maintain this area the way it deserves, he contin-
ued. We have a responsibility to be good stewards of
those landscapes for future generations.
The journey to protect the San Gabriel Mountains
began 11 and a half years ago with the introduction of
a bill by then-Representative Hilda Solis.The result
was a 10-year study by the National Park Service,
which included 66 stakeholder meetings and 16,800
public comments, most overwhelmingly in support of
more resources for the San Gabriel Mountains and
Rivers.After the release of the study, Representative
Judy Chu spent one and a half years drafting a bill on
the San Gabriel Mountains and Rivers, conducting
stakeholder meetings and earning the support of the
San Gabriel Council of Governments.
The San Gabriel Mountains National Monument
now joins the more than 100 national monuments
across the country and will be managed by the US
Forest Service.
Im overjoyed with the Presidents declaration,
Congresswoman Judy Chu told the COURIER. Its a
historical moment for Angelenos. Well finally be
able to fix what needs to be fixedthe lack of trails,
the lack of safety signage to hikers that have fallen to
their death. The national monument designation will
finally provide more means to protect our beautiful
but under-resourced San Gabriel Mountains.
Not all mountain communities or their residents,
however, were supportive of the decision to declare
the San Gabriel Mountains a national monument.
Hundreds of protestors, many from Mt. Baldy, gath-
ered outside the main entrance to Bonelli Park, wav-
ing American flags and signs reading, Monumental
Mistake.
Mt. Baldy was reportedly excluded from the desig-
nation in an attempt to appease critics who feared the
monument would stunt economic growth and
threaten fire safety in the eastern end of the Angeles
National Forest.
Paul Hammosh has lived in Mt. Baldy for nearly a
decade and said his concerns about water rights, pri-
vate property rights and recreational use limitations
played a large role in his decision to protest. He also
feared that the Presidents designation would result in
limited access to the mountains and was upset over
what he considered abuse of executive power.
There should have been more public input. Its not
one mans decision. Congress should have gotten in-
volved, he says. We love our mountains and feel
local control is the best way to do that!
Assemblyman Chris Holden, who represents the
41st Assembly District, spoke with the COURIER
about the mountain communities opposition to the
federal designation and what the future may hold for
them down the road.
For Mt. Baldy and some of the other communi-
ties, I think as time goes on, theyll see the benefits
that come along with being a part of a national monu-
ment and maybe at that time theyll want to be carved
in, he told the COURIER. Its always easier to get
in when the gettings good, which is now. You try to

Surrounded by local dignitaries, President Barack Obama signs an executive order creating a national mon-
ument in the San Gabriel Mountains last Friday at Frank G. Bonelli Regional Park. During the brief ceremony,
the President remarked how the local mountains held both natural and historical significance for southern Cal-
ifornia and deserve to be preserved.
Police sharpshooters keep a close watch on the area
around the stage where President Obama spoke last
Friday at Bonelli Park.

A Claremont cyclist took a serious fall
on Mills Avenue and Scottsbluff Drive
after striking debris on the roadway, ac-
cording to Lieutenant Mike Ciszek. The
29-year-old male was traveling south in
the bicycle lane on Mills Avenue around
8:20 a.m. when his tire hit a small rock,
causing him to go over the handlebars
and onto the pavement. The cyclist suf-
fered abrasions to his knees and elbows
and was transported to Pomona Valley
Hospital after complaining of pain to the
right side of his head, which showed vis-
ible swelling and a small lump. He was
not wearing a helmet when he crashed.
****
An Upland man driving on a sus-
pended license was arrested after wit-
nesses identified him as the suspect in a
hit and run collision. At approximately
11: 45 a.m., Andrew Chairez was driv-
ing along Cucamonga and Mills Avenue
when his vehicle collided with a center
median and he fled the scene. Officers
arrived and determined the car was
stolen out of San Bernardino, taken in a
carjacking where the suspects used a
handgun to commandeer the vehicle.
Two witnesses described Mr. Chairez to
police and he was found a short time
later, several blocks south of the colli-
sion. The 30-year-old admitted to driv-
ing the stolen vehicle and leaving the
scene. He was arrested and a records
check revealed his license was sus-
pended in 2012. The Los Angeles
County District Attorney charged Mr.
Chairez with unlawful taking of a vehi-
cle, a felony. He was arraigned on Octo-
ber 14 in Pomona court, plead no contest
and was sentenced to 60 days in jail and
three years probation. A misdemeanor
charge of hit and run was dismissed as a
result of his plea deal.

A La Verne resident fell victim to
phone scammers who continue to prey
on the kind hearts of Good Samaritans.
Between October 7 and October 9, the
74-year-old victim received several calls
on his cell phone from an unknown sus-
pect claiming to be an attorney. The sus-
pect stated the victims grandson was in
jail in New York for DUI and told the
victim he needed $4500, $3000 and
$4000 to get his grandson out of jail and
to pay for repairs. Over the course of
three days, the victim acquired Green
Dot cards in the requested amounts and
provided the numbers on the back of the
cards to the suspect. When the suspect
called again, requesting an additional
$35,000 to be wired to an account in On-
tario, Canada, the victim called his
grandson who told him he was okay and
had never been arrested. The phone
scammer has yet to be identified.
Friday, October 10
Three suspects remain at large after a
brazen theft at a Claremont grocery
store. At approximately 4:49 p.m., two
suspects entered Vons located at 550 E.
Base Line Rd. and left with six cases of
beer without paying. The duo walked to
a black two-door Hyundai where a third
suspect was waiting and helped load the
cases of beer into the trunk of the car. A
witness saw the three suspects leave the
location, headed eastbound on Base Line
Road. The items stolen include one case
of Bud Light, one case of Stella Artois,
two cases of Bud Light Margarita-in-a-
Can and one case of Shock Top with a
total value of $71. The suspects remain
at large and are described as a 24-year-
old white male, 160 pounds, 59 with
black hair; a 22-year-old Asian male,
510 and 140 pounds with black hair
and brown eyes and a 22-year-old white
male 510 with brown hair.

Loss prevention officers at a Clare-
mont Stater Bros. had a busy day at the
office after arresting two thieves back-
to-back. Around 4:30 p.m., 46-year-old
Deborah Gonzalez entered the store to
redeem her recycling center voucher
when she and an unknown subject
walked down the razor aisle, picked one
up and exited the store. The Pomona res-
ident was arrested for petty theft after of-
ficers recovered a Gillette Fusion
ProGlide razor valued at $22.99. A cou-
ple of hours later, Santa Ana resident
Keith Wilmington entered the same store
with a messenger bag and $4.65 in cash.
When the 51-year-old man walked past
the cash register lines without attempting
to pay for the merchandise and exited,
he was also detained. Two pounds of 85
percent lean ground beef, Old Spice de-
odorant, a pack of Bic disposable razors,
a box of Nestle drumstick ice cream
cones, two packs of Dial bar soap and a
box of Budget Saver popsicles were
found in his bag. Mr. Wilmington admit-
ted to entering the store with the intent to
steal merchandise and was arrested for
burglary. On October 14, the Los Ange-
les County District Attorney charged Mr.
Wilmington with second-degree com-
mercial burglary, a felony to which he
plead not guilty. Three previous out-of-
state felony convictions, including rob-
bery, burglary and aggravated criminal
sexual assault increased his bail from
$20,000 to $170,000. He is due back in
court on October 27.

A Claremont woman with a foul
mouth and too much to drink was ar-
rested following a verbal altercation with
her cheating boyfriend. Officers re-
sponded to the 400 block of Cedar Crest
Avenue when a neighbor called 911 after
witnessing Caroline Wright standing in
the driveway of the residence, screaming
at a male inside a vehicle and trying to
prevent him from leaving. Further inves-
tigation determined the 31-year-old
woman was intoxicated and she was ar-
rested for being drunk and disorderly.
While in the patrol car, Ms. Wright re-
moved one of her handcuffs and actively
resisted officers telling them, Let go of
me or I will head-butt both of you! She
continued to struggle and use foul lan-
guage, calling the officers just about
every profane word she could think of,
according to police. Ms. Wright was
booked and volunteered that she was
upset with her boyfriend for infidelity
and she had to drown her sorrows in
beer. She was held to detox and was later
released with a citation.
Monday, October 13
A pervert took matters into his own
hands in the bathroom of a local park
and then fled the scene. A male victim
walked into the mens room at Wheeler
Park around 6:15 p.m. and found the
suspect with his pants unzipped, stand-
ing in one of the stalls and pleasuring
himself. The suspect, described as a 35-
year-old male Hispanic, 57 and 155
pounds with brown eyes and brown hair,
turned to the victim and, in the most vul-
gar way possible, asked him if he was
well endowed. The victim walked out of
the bathroom, followed by the suspect,
who ran eastbound and out of sight.

T
he arraignment sched-
uled for Vanessa Anto-
nia Tinoco, the
Claremont High School cafete-
ria worker charged with having
sexual relations with a 16-year-
old student, has been post-
poned until Monday,
November 3.
The 33-year-old Pomona resident
was arrested last week after someone
who had become concerned about the
interactions between Ms. Tinoco and
the male student alerted school authori-
ties. Claremont police determined that a
crime had occurred and immediately
took the lunch lady into custody. She
was later charged by the Los Angeles
County District Attorneys office with
two felony counts: oral copulation of a
person under 18 and unlawful sexual
intercourse.
She remains in custody at Century
Regional Detention Facility in Lyn-
wood and is being held on $70,000 bail.
A
thief remains at large following a
commercial burglary at Salon
Luxe, located on the 900 block of
West Foothill Boulevard in Claremont.
On Sunday, October 12, the suspect smashed the
glass front door of the business and stole cash, $1,500
in merchandise including Eufora products and a sur-
veillance camera. The suspect is described as a white
male, approximately 6 feet tall and 200 pounds,
wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers baseball cap, black-
rimmed glasses, a gray shirt, blue jeans and dark
gloves. The suspects left forearm is covered with tat-
toos and he also has what appears to be a tattoo or
scar on his right jawline. There was no vehicle seen.
Anyone with information on this crime can call
Claremont Police at (909) 399 5411.
Arraignment postponed for CHS cafeteria worker; bail remains unpaid
EDUCATION
do it later and its a little more difficult, but you never
know. We clearly dont want to force anything down
anyones throat and if they dont want to be a part of it,
well honor that request.
The city of Claremont and the surrounding foothills
will not be affected by the federal designation, al-
though residents can now say that they live at the base
of the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument.
The Claremont Hills Wilderness Park has not been in-
cluded in the designation.
Upon signing the proclamation, President Obama
was met with applause and then took a few moments
to shake hands with audience members, including one
of Claremonts own.
It was an honor to be here today to represent the
city of Claremont and support Congresswoman Judy
Chu, said Councilman Pedroza. Shaking the hand of
the President of the United States wasnt bad either.

O
h, Horror of Horrors! Oh, Terror
of Terrors! It is that time again!
Yes, once again, it is that time of
year when the dark encroaches and your
night of nights draws near. It is the time
when All Hallows Eve, that night of all
nights when you rise in all your ghastly
glory, approaches.
And, as always on this most auspicious of occa-
sions, it is my honor, as your humble minion, to greet
you and give you a report on the doings here in Clare-
mont. Yes, I know Im far back in line with a full two
weeks to go before October 31 but youll be delighted
to hear, oh, Vicar of the Vain, that at least some of
these Claremonters are going whole hog in celebrating
Halloween. Not only are the decorations continuing to
get more and more elaboratea trend in recent
yearsthey started to appear late last month. It is al-
most, only almost, Im afraid, as crazy as the Christ-
mas decorations that go up in stores before Halloween.
Yes, I know, how very rude!
Whats even crazier and no doubt all the more de-
lightful to you is that this goes on in southern Califor-
nia where some days are hotter than everyes, hotter
than, well, you know where. At least some people here
have been moaning about this, saying that theyre
being cheated out of nice autumnal weather.
No doubt you will hear plenty about the drought
here in California, oh, Titan of Trouble. Yes, the
weather last Christmas was quite pleasant, with you-
know-who being able to spend a good part of that af-
ternoon sitting outside next to the blooming camellias
in a T-shirt, but it was eerie and surreal. When it con-
tinued to be lovely like this through the winter, it
began to feel downright dangerous, and, sure enough,
the governor declared a drought. Some small towns
up north are rationing water, and many farmers in the
central area of the state are having to cut way back or
call it quits.
And then there have been all the wildfires this dry
weather has caused, with so much dry bush and tinder
the sun reflecting off a sheet of metal or a window can
nearly set off flames. There were fires going on in
Februaryyes, that lovely weather was dangerous
whereas the fire season usually starts in September. In
this situation that has been labeled a catastrophe, the
money budgeted for firefighting this year has recently
been all spent (reserves are now being used).
Yes, youre in for lots of perfectly sad stories about
this. Youll also be hearing plenty about civil unrest
over police action with racial overtones, people up in
arms about illegal immigrants, and, oh, yes, behead-
ings and ebola. You know, all the usual, but things
have seemed to get crazier than usual in recent
months.
As you know, oh, Monarch of the Mediocre, Clare-
montwhere an old tree dying and the new signs at a
shopping center are big news is pretty far away
from all this, or it likes to see itself as pretty far from
it. And its easy to think that it is, with its nice little pie
festivals and all the performances and presentations
going on at the Colleges which, even you have to
admit, are quite impressive for a small town. But
Claremont has had some strange and fishy, if not evil,
stuff happening this year.
Take the way the Wilderness Park with its Loop
Trail in northern Claremont was closed recently due to
fire danger. See, all that bad stuff isnt so far! Its
amazing how the city has bungled this prized project.
The park was seen as the town jewel, with hopes that
many people would enjoy the opportunity to be out in
nature so close by, but the city appeared to be stumped
when thousands started coming to walk in the park.
It has been a perfect mess, with the city scrambling
to come up with a parking system and enough spaces,
and nearby residents screaming about their streets
being jammed with parked cars alongside people mak-
ing their way between their cars and the park and trash
left behind. Meanwhile, there has been confusion
about what time the park opens and closesrotating
hours were posted to clarify what time dawn and dusk
are each month or so. There has been considerable de-
bate over not only how people should behave in the
parkwalkers with earbuds cant hear passing bikes,
for example, and how fast is too fast for a bike?but
also about how many people can be in a wilderness
park and have it still be wilderness. Im not sure if its
a sad or funny irony that the consulting company
working with the city on all this is from Berkeley,
where the Tilden Regional Park, in the hills above the
city, has been quite popular for years.
And then, oh, Shah of the Shady, there has been the
citys effort to take over the water system. Or, really,
the effort to stop it.
There is a measure on next months ballot asking
residents if bonds should be purchased for the purpose
of taking over the system from the Golden State Water
Company. This is a company that lots of Claremonters
have complained about, in that it keeps getting rate
hikes approved by the Public Utilities Commission so
that its stockholders will profit. Whats more, when
customers conserve water, as they should during this
drought, theyre hit with a fee called WRAM, as in
wram it up your you-know-what.
Not surprisingly, Golden State has been doing
everything it can to defeat the bond and, boy, you
would love how sneaky and dumb it has been. Insist-
ing on calling it a tax, when its a bond to be paid off
by customers, is just the start.
When people began speaking out in opposition to
the citys efforts, saying that it may be much more ex-
pensive than estimated, there was speculation they
were plants by the water company. Now it appears that
this is really the case. A small group of residents, in-
cluding a woman who has run for office as a Tea Party
candidate, keep showing up in ads and mailings paid
for by, yep, the water company. Or is it that this motley
crew is speaking for the silent majority that will rise up
at the polls?
In one of the sillier attempts to scare the Claremont
folks, a retired economics professor plastered the
town with letters and newspaper ads, again sponsored
by the water company, printed on a fancy-schmancy
Claremont McKenna College letterhead. Meanwhile,
the proponents know perfectly well that their water
bills wont go down if the city takes over; they just
want more control and not to be a profit source to a
bunch of stockholders.
It gets even sillier, oh, Duke of Doh! When the
water company was doing door-to-door canvassing
this summer, two of the paid walkers were caught en-
gaging in some rather graphic hanky-panky outside a
residents front door. What fools these mortals be,
even here in oh-so-fair Claremont!

A water-wise city hall

If the city were really serious about the
drought, they would be planting flower-

Every vote counts
Dear Editor:
Now is the time to bring our water
back to local control by voting yes on
Measure W. The alternative is for us,
our children and theirs to remain
hostage to Golden State Waters relent-
less drive for profits. That is unless, in
an even worse scenario, GSW decides
one day to sell out to some multina-
tional company at some outrageous
profit making water management even
more remote and unresponsive to local
needs.
As we have walked our precinct in
support of Measure W, we have been
happily surprised by the high level of
support weve found.
Every homeowner but one whom we
called on last night (and we skipped
those who already had a yard sign for
W) was already strongly for the cause.
The one who wasnt on board yet asked
for more information. This level of sup-
port is pretty amazing, given the tens of
thousands of dollars GSW has thrown
at this campaign with their door-to-door
salesmen, their lawsuits and the inflated
and untrue claims in their bombard-
ment of slick mailers. Obviously, Clare-
mont isnt buying what theyre trying to
sell!
If all of us who are in favor mail in
our ballots or get out to the polls, this
measure will pass in a landslide. But
the important thing is that we follow up
and vote. As this process continues, an
overwhelming victory for Measure W
will have a positive influence on our
city leaders who will carry the plan for-
ward, on Golden State Water, and even
on the courts.
Remember that every vote counts,
especially on local issues. Vote yes on
Measure W.

Fantasy and fiction
Dear Editor:
The city and Claremont FLOW have
tried very hard to provide honest and
accurate information about purchasing
the water system, and to be clear about
what we do and do not know for cer-
tain. In a previous letter, I invited any-
one who found something inaccurate in
what Claremont FLOW is saying to get
in touch so we could correct it. There
have been no responses.
Golden State has strong financial
reasons to try to keep us among their
ratepayers, and they apparently dont
feel constrained by the truth. Of course
it is annoying to have so many lies and
half-truths circulating in opposition ads,
mailers and phone surveys meant to
mislead, but I trust Claremont citizens
to recognize fantasy and fiction when
they see or hear it.
Those of us who believe we can do a
better job ourselves in setting reason-
able rates, in conserving water and in
planning for our future will be voting
yes on Measure W on November 4.

Too many unknowns
Dear Editor:
Ive been studying the water issue for
awhile, and its been exhausting and
frustrating because its a very complex
issue. In fact, its so complex and so
full of unknowns that no one can say
with any degree of confidence whether
our water bills will go down or up, or
whether this forced acquisition makes
sense.
There are too many unknown vari-
ables involved and assumptions
abound. Those in favor of Measure W
believe that Golden State Water is a
big, greedy corporation that is making
excessive profits and paying their exec-
utives excessive salaries. Also, GSW
has to pay taxes, but the city wouldnt.
So if the city takes over the business
there presumably would be lots of
money that could be saved, enough to
cover the cost of issuing a bond to pur-
chase the water system.
Unfortunately, we have no way of
knowing whether these assumptions are
correct or not. We dont know how
much the system would costwe
would have to spend lots of time and
money on lawyers and court costs be-
fore a jury tells us in a year or two how
much we would have to pay.
We dont know how much it would
cost the city to acquire the expertise to
manage the water systemit has no
competency in this field at present.
We dont know the rate of interest we
would have to pay on the revenue
bonds needed to to finance the pur-
chase. Interest costs in a year or two
could easily exceed GSWs current ad-
ministrative costs, taxes and profits,
thus forcing water rates higher.
Everyone who has looked at this
knows that at some price (maybe $100
million?) and at some interest rate, our
water bills would probably end up
being higher than what GSW is cur-
rently proposing, and probably for
many years. And at some cost and
some interest rate our bills would prob-
ably be lower. But we dont know
today what the cost or the interest rate
will be next year. We can only specu-
late.
No one, on either side of the issue,
can answer these questions definitively.
As a matter of principle, I dont like
the idea of governments managing
businesses, and I dont like the idea of
bureaucrats and politicians setting
water rates. Furthermore, I believe that
the respect of private property rights is
one of the fundamental pillars of our
society and our prosperity.
Accordingly, I believe the exercise
of eminent domain should be severely
limited to those situations where the
benefit to the public is clear and com-
pelling. This is not one of those situa-
tions.

CWC says yes on Prop P
Dear Editor:
The Claremont Wildlands Conservancy would like to
alert readers about a new county-wide proposition on the
November ballot, Proposition P, 2014 Safe Neighbor-
hood Parks Measure, which we urge you to support.
Prop P continues county funding for open space, park
improvements, historic preservation, bike trails, senior
centers and more, replacing Prop A, passed in 1992,
which is expiring in June.
The cost to homeowners is $23 per year per parcel for
30 years. This flat parcel tax would replace the current
Prop A tax that uses a complicated formula that has re-
sulted in parcel taxes ranging from under a dollar to thou-
sands of dollars. Most property owners in Claremont have
been paying under $30 a year for the last 20 years. The
proposed across-the-board tax is easier to understand and
administer.
Among the Claremont projects funded by Prop A in-
clude $1.2 million to remodel a school and create the
Hughes Community Center; $317,852 to help acquire
1220 acres of hillside land which otherwise might have
been developed for housing; $500,000 to help acquire
Johnsons Pasture; $140,416 for Sycamore Canyon
restoration; $96,514 for Cahuilla Park improvements;
$51,000 for Padua Hills Theater electrical system up-
grades and lighting; and $44,490 for replacement trees
along the Thompson Creek Trail.
We urge you to vote yes for Prop P on November 4 so
our county can continue to fund parks and open space,
senior centers, trails, recreation centers, historic restora-
tion, museum facilities and more. A two-thirds majority is
required to pass this measure.

Think before you vote
Dear Editor:
If yard sign count is a good indicator, the yes on W
folks will have a victory come November 5. My hope is
that voters will think for themselves before they vote.
As treasurer of our homeowners association, I have
been carefully watching the Claremont water bond issues.
The water for our little community of 60 residences is on
a master meter. The cost of water is already a substantial
portion of our overall association budget.
Since first knowing that Claremont was considering
the takeover of the citys water system, I was skeptical.
But there seemed to be many people sold on the idea, so
I have tried to keep an open mind.
I have attended the meetings and read most everything
that has been written. Nothing I have read or heard has
convinced me that this takeover is a good idea.
Many of the misgivings I have were published in sev-
eral other letters to this newspaper. For Claremont, this is
a serious business decision. It requires a business plan.
There is no plan for what would come after an acquisition
and therefore there are many unknowns. Repeated in a
number of proponents letters is the statement, nobody
knows what the costs will be. That bothers me. A lot.
Unknown: The cost of the system. Golden State values
their system at $222 million, obviously over-valued but it
is their asset and its not for sale. An independent ap-
praiser, hired by the city, has set the value at $55 million.
We are being asked to approve $135 million. The final
price would be set through litigation.
Unknown: Is the city willing to pay $135 million, or
more, for an asset worth $55 million?
Unknown: What will the additional costs be? What-
ever the eventual cost, we would be borrowing the money.
With interest, the system will ultimately cost double the
purchase price. Over a million dollars has already been
spent on attorneys. It is certain that several million more
would be spent on litigation.
Unknown: The physical condition of the system. Parts
of the system are close to 100 years old and buried. With
ownership comes the financial responsibility for mainte-
nance and repairs.
Unknown: Because there is no plan, the costs to run
our own water system are a big unknown. Experienced
managers would have to be hired. An administrative staff,
skilled maintenance workers and a facility to house them,
would be needed. There will be pensions and other ben-
efits, vehicles, vehicle maintenance, insurance, chemicals,
meter reading with associated billings and accounting. All
of that, now, is in the cost of our water from GSW.
Unknown: The city of La Vernes water company has
been suggested as a possible contractor to manage and
maintain our water company, versus keeping it in-house.
Nobody seems to know if they would be interested or, if
they were, how much it would cost. When that question
came up at a recent meeting, the answer was, That will
have to be negotiated.
There is great envy that La Verne residents pay sub-
stantially less for their water than we do. A very long time
ago, La Verne built their city-owned water system. This,
it turns out, was a good decision. Claremont, for what-
ever reasons, went in a different direction. That was then,
this is now and spending $55 million or $135 million or
$222 million today will not reverse decisions made a cen-
tury ago. There is nothing that can be done to cause our
water to be as inexpensive as La Vernes.
The one thing that is known: Even proponents of the
take-over of the water system admit that the purchase
would guarantee that water will cost more than it does
now.
So, our water is too expensive and the solution is to
make it more expensive?, I will be voting no on W.

From the Interfaith Sustainability Council
Dear Editor:
At its most recent meeting, members of the Interfaith
Sustainability Council of the Pomona Valley voted unan-
imously to recommend that Claremont citizens vote yes
on Measure W.
The Interfaith Sustainability Council includes mem-
bers who are affiliated with some 14 congregations and
organizations, both faith-based and secular, most of which
are based in Claremont, and all with members who live in
Claremont. We specifically do not represent or speak for
the congregations or organizations from which we come.
Our purpose has rather been to promote alternative ener-
gies and conservation activities within and outside of our
congregations and organizations.
We make this recommendation based on our convic-
tion that local public control will better promote water
conservation and be more likely to reduce our depend-
ence on imported water.
First, it will allow us to end the use of the pernicious
Water Rate Adjustment Mechanism, in which Golden
State has raised rates as water usage has decreased, clearly
counterproductive to conservation efforts.
Second, we believe that more strenuous efforts to re-
claim water can substantially reduce the need for imported
water. Golden State offers no plans for additional water
reclamation, but claims sole right to sell reclaimed water
to Claremont customers. The city of Claremont can and
will do better.
Our affiliations include Claremont Presbyterian
Church, Claremont United Church of Christ, Claremont
United Methodist Church, InterEnvironment Institute,
Fair Trade Claremont, La Verne Church of the Brethren,
Monte Vista Unitarian-Universalist Congregation, Our
Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church, Native Amer-
ican community, Pilgrim Place, Progressive Christians
Uniting, Sustainable Claremont, Temple Beth Israel and
Trinity United Methodist Church. We are always open to
new members. Please join us in voting yes on Measure W.

Chair, Interfaith Sustainability Council
League says yes to Prop 47
Dear Editor:
The League of Women Voters urges a Yes vote on
Proposition 47, the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act.
Prop 47 will ensure that prison spending is focused on
violent and serious offenses and will maximize alterna-
tives for nonserious, nonviolent crime. The savings gen-
erated will be invested in prevention and support
programs in K-12 schools, victims services and mental
health and drug treatment.
Prop 47 will change low-level nonviolent crimes such
as simple drug possession and petty theft from felonies to
misdemeanors; sentences for people convicted of dan-
gerous crimes like rape, murder and child molestation will
not be changed. The league believes alternatives to im-
prisonment should be explored and utilized, taking into
consideration the circumstances and nature of the crime.
Prop 47s broad supportfrom law enforcement lead-
ers, crime victims, teachers, rehabilitation experts, busi-
ness leaders, faith-based leaders and civil rights
organizationsshows they agree.
Vote with the league. Vote yes on Proposition 47.

VP for Advocacy, League of Women Voters

COMMENTS
R
esidents unsatisfied
with rising water rates
should take time to
learn more about Measure W,
the $135 million water bond on
the November ballot, because
the proposal will increase your
water bill.
Contrary to last weeks editorial, there
is no upside to an eminent domain
takeover of the water system, particu-
larly for residents who desire to reduce
water bills.
In truth, each household will pay ap-
proximately $101.42 per month, or
$1,217 per year for the next 30 years
with Measure W. Everyone, including
low-income families and seniors on
fixed incomes will be required to pay
back this debt.
Lets go back a few years to review
how this began. At first it was a group of
Claremont neighbors, many of us in-
cluded, who grew frustrated with rising
rates and Golden States unwillingness
to lower water bills during one of the
worst economic depressions weve ex-
perienced in decades.
Since that time, supporters of local
control have lost sight of the mission to
stabilize water bills. Its regrettable that
the Claremont COURIER has also lost
sight of our communitys goal, as was
displayed in last weeks editorial (Its
time for local control; vote yes on Meas-
ure W).
We encourage residents to consider
three important points before casting a
vote on Measure W.
First, Measure W will cost every
Claremont household at least $1,217 per
year. Weve researched and analyzed
data, taking time to thoughtfully exam-
ine every financial assumption and equa-
tion in the Measure W proposal. Wed be
remiss not to highlight the enormous
cost to residents and the long-term risks
and consequences to other important
local programs.
Second, how many people plan to in-
crease their water use over the next
decade? Given that California is experi-
encing one of most severe droughts in
state history, many residents are rethink-
ing their own familys consumption and
how to better manage the finite resource.
Governor Brown has mandated conser-
vation and a recent report from the State
Water Resource Control Board shows
that Claremont is doing a tremendous
job meeting the call to action by decreas-
ing consumption. Despite these noble ef-
forts, the $135 million proposal relies on
a steady increase in water consumption.
Measure W is a proposal that says, re-
gardless of how much water this commu-
nity uses were required to pay down a
massive $135 million debt. If we do as
this community has pledged, including
city leaders and Sustainable Claremont,
we will reduce water consumption dra-
matically over the next decade. If Meas-
ure W passes and we fulfill our
commitment to conservation, our water
consumption will decrease but the per
unit cost of water will rise dramatically to
ensure the city can collected the required
revenues to pay back bond holders.
Make no mistake: if we authorize
$135 million in borrowing, we wont
have local control or lower water bills.
Well have a legally binding contract to
pay back bondholders, who will make
demands as to how the community de-
termines our rates.The study assumes in-
creased consumption year upon year,
underscoring the plan as fundamentally
flawed.
This glaring error introduces a new
delta into the equation of cost, another
factor city leaders ignore in their cam-
paign rhetoric.
Third, there has never been a success-
ful eminent domain takeover of a private
water utility where the lower costs that
proponents have promised actually
occur.
In the Santa Cruz community of Fel-
ton, the local government, San Lorenzo
Valley Water District, submitted an ini-
tial appraisal of the water system at $5.3
million, and later increased their offer to
$7.6 million. The final acquisition price
ended up being $13.4 million, according
to public testimony from the general
manager of the water provider. This is
250 percent more than the initial local
government appraisal.
Today in Felton, residents are paying
an extra $500 annual property tax, which
has a duration of 30 years. Since the
takeover, the new water provider has en-
acted 71 percent, compounded rate in-
creases over the first eight years since
the acquisition. Claremont officials cite
Felton as an example of an acquisition
but have not disclosed the acquisition
cost, rate increases or property tax in-
crease in their campaign materials.
Another example can be observed
from the nearby city of Big Bear Lake.
Officials estimated the water system
would cost $15.7 million but the final
acquisition price was $35 million, more
than double the original estimate.
Please join us and make the only right
decision and vote no on Measure W.
This is a $135 million risk we simply
cannot afford.
Measure W will increase your bill

Please allow us to share our thoughts
and memories of our mom, Dorothy
Dot Sheehy. She loved her commu-
nity and her family so much that we
feel it fitting to bring the two together
to try to capture her essence more than
a standard formal obituary could ever
do, although we know we cannot do
her essence justice.
Our mom, Dorothy Dot Frances
Sheehy, was born on April 20, 1943 in
Holyoke, Massachusetts. She died sud-
denly and unexpectedly on September
29, 2014. She was 71 years old.
Dot spent her entire childhood in
Holyoke with her parents and younger
brother Joe. This is the town where she
met our dad, Jack Sheehy, in high
school. They dated throughout high
school and college. Our mom attended
and graduated from Salve Regina Col-
lege in Rhode Island and our dad at-
tended and graduated from the nearby
Brown University. They married
shortly after graduation in 1965.
Our dad was an officer in the Marine
Corps and was sent to Vietnam only
two weeks after their oldest child Erin
was born. Their second child, EJ, was
born in 1968 and little sister Tara fol-
lowed in 1969. Our mom raised Erin
for the first 18 months of her life with-
out our dad, waiting day-by-day and
praying for his safe return. It must have
been so difficult.
She was proud of her husbands ded-
ication to his country (service which
earned him a Bronze Star and Purple
Heart medal). Military and post-mili-
tary life sent them on several moves
around the country including South
Carolina, Pennsylvania, Connecticut,
Missouri and then finally, Claremont,
California. In 1978, our family moved
to Claremont, a city where our mom
has lived and which she has enjoyed
ever since.
Dot was an educator. She started in
the classroom and then moved onto
special education in the Ontario-Mont-
clair School District, where she worked
for 30 years. We can only imagine the
lasting effect that her skills and pa-
tience must have had on thousands of
students. Some kept in touch with her,
and she spoke of them as if they were
her own children.
In 2007, she retired from teaching
but didnt want to completely stop
working. She started an errand/courier
businessDot Will Do Itcomplete
with magnetic placards on her white
Lexus that became a regular sight
throughout the community. What
started out as a personal shopping busi-
ness grew into much more. Much of
her time was spent assisting handi-
capped and elderly folks with bill-pay-
ing, rides to appointments, shopping
and, of course, companionship. We
dont believe she ever considered it a
job; she truly enjoyed the people she
met and the stories she heard.
Her errand business took up some of
her time, but her greatest love and en-
joyment came from her three grandchil-
dren who also live in Claremont. There
wasnt a sporting event, kindergarten
sing or Halloween parade she ever
missed. In fact, she always got to the
event at least 30 minutes early to secure
the best seat for pictures. She was an
invaluable help with the Tisopulos chil-
dren and would also show up 30 min-
utes early for an elementary school
pick-up, just in case there was traffic
or her car broke down. Although we
laughed at the thought of excessive
traffic in Claremont, her punctuality
and reliability brought great peace of
mind to the working daughter she was
assisting!
It was not surprising to our family to
be so surrounded with love and support
from the parents and teachers at our
beloved Condit Elementary School, be-
cause she was a constant smiling pres-
ence there for more than a decade. It
was also not surprising to see so many
high school kids in the community sup-
porting us at her service. She was
Claremonts Grandma Dot and she
loved the title!
Other things in our moms life that
she truly enjoyed were her involvement
with Childrens Fund, Delta Kappa
Gamma, the Claremont Educational
Foundation and the Wounded Warrior
Project.
She was proud to serve as an ambas-
sador for the Claremont Chamber of
Commerce and was a dedicated mem-
ber of Our Lady of the Assumption
parish.
Our mom was preceded in death by
our dad, Jack, who passed away sud-
denly in 1996. She is also survived by
her brother Joseph Mangin and by her
children: Erin Sheehy Robb of Pacific
Palisades and husband Christopher; Ed-
ward EJ Sheehy of Seattle, Washing-
ton and his wife Vita; and Tara
Tisopulos of Claremont and her hus-
band Laki. She is further survived by
the three greatest joys of her life, her
granddaughters Alexa, Kyra and
Melina Tisopulos, all of Claremont.
Having lost her own father at the age
of 48 and her husband at 52, Dot knew
to live each day to the fullest. She was
never without a smile, nor did she ever
have an unkind word to say about any-
one. She was a role model to us as her
children as well as to her grandchildren,
who will always understand how im-
portant they were in her life. If we had
our last moments with her to do over,
we would say thank you for showing
us the true meaning of unconditional
love and finding joy in the everyday
moments that the rest of us take for
granted. Heaven is a better place with
our mom in it, and we know we have a
guardian angel.

OBITUARIES
Berkeley feminists and world poetry
lovers are saddened to learn of the
death of a pioneer translator and anthol-
ogizer of womens poetry from around
the world. Deirdre Eberly Lashgari,
professor emerita of English at Califor-
nia State Polytechnic University,
Pomona, died August 16, 2014 in Los
Angeles. She was 73.
She was born April 7, 1941 in Ann
Arbor, Michigan. A specialist in ethnic
and world literatures, Ms. Lashgari
translated both classical and modern
Iranian poetry, and wrote, published
and lectured on Iranian fiction and film
as well as on women writers of fiction
and poetry in Iran, China, India, Ghana
and the United States. At UC Berkeley
in the 60s, she studied Farsi, Arabic
and French, and worked to translate
womens poetry that was then still un-
known in the United States. She re-
ceived her PhD in 1987; her
dissertation was titled: The Agony of
Leaving: Relinquishing Scenes in the
Novels of Austen, Bronte and Eliot.
In 1969, she spent a year in Iran on a
Fulbright Fellowship studying Western
and folk influences on modern Iranian
poetry, as well as womens changing
roles in urban and village life. Upon her
return to Berkeley, she invited others to
join in an ambitious translation project.
Circles of foreign language students
began to gather regularly, entertaining
each other at ongoing poetry-potlucks,
which Ms. Lashgari and her colleague
Doris Earnshaw organized to locate,
translate and anthologize womens po-
etry from diverse languages. With her
collaborators (Bankier and Earnshaw,
et.al.), Deirdre edited two international
anthologies of poetry, The Other
Voice: Womens Poetry in Transla-
tion (Norton, 1976) and Women Poets
of The World (Macmillan, 1983). She
also edited and contributed to a volume
of essays on women writers with the
University Press of Virginia (1995)
called Violence, Silence, and Anger:
Womens Writing as Transgression.
The story of Ms. Lashagaris collec-
tivist work is told in The Berkeley Lit-
erary Womens Revolution: Essays
from Marshas salon (McFarland
2004).
Ms. Lashgari also taught English at
Sonoma State University, Mills College
in Oakland and San Francisco State
University. Always a galvanizing pres-
ence in innovative education, she
taught at UC Berkeley in the Peace and
Conflict Studies Program and the ex-
perimental undergraduate seminar pro-
gram Strawberry Creek College, as
well as the first courses on womens lit-
erature in the Comparative Literature
Department. Her pioneering research
and collaborative work contributed to
changing forever the literary curricu-
lum at Berkeley and other American
universities, and to normalize the pres-
ence of womens writing as part of the
syllabus.
Deirdre Lashgaris husband Woody
Nance died two weeks after she did.
She is survived by her first husband
Parviz Lashgari, by brothers Clark and
Steve and their families, by her father
Ralph, and by the many scholars and
students whom she influenced. Dona-
tions in her memory can be made to the
Western States Legal Foundation in
honor of her work in the anti-nuclear
movement. Ceremonies are scheduled
on both the east and west coast to com-
memorate the passing of Deirdre Lash-
gari.

Innovative educator, champion of women writers
Virginia Ginny Elizabeth Hart, an
always cheerful and optimistic resident
of Claremont for over 40 years, died
peacefully in Santa Maria, California on
October 4, 2014, just shy of her 96th
birthday.
In a life that started the year that WWI
ended, she grew up during the Depres-
sion in Heron Lake, Minnesota, one of
five brothers and sisters, of whom she
was the last living. In the 1940s, she re-
alized a longtime dream to travel and,
with her older brother George, drove to
Seattle and lived at the YWCA while
working as a medical receptionist.
She found her entre to travel by be-
coming one of the first seven stew-
ardesses to fly with PanAmerican from
Seattle to Alaska during the late 40s. Al-
though her PanAm handle to the pilots
and crews was Battery Cart Hart, her
father called her his Little Clipper after
the nickname for the DC3s in which she
flew for so many years. She gathered
wonderful tales of arctic adventures, in-
cluding playing boogie-woogie piano in
the Baronof Hotel in Juneau. She would
recount tales of miners coming in from
their gold mines offering her small bags
of gold dust as payment for her piano
playing; giving an Eskimo child his first
orange; watching a crew off-load a
grand piano only to see it sink com-
pletely in to the thawed permafrost; and
spending nights fascinated by the shim-
mering Aurora Borealis. During those
post-WWII years in Seattle, she met and
married Chuck Hart. After she left
PanAm, they travelled up and down the
west coast on Mr. Harts business trips.
Chuck and Ginna, as she was known,
moved to southern California and ulti-
mately settled Claremont where her two
daughters, Mary and Carla, attended Our
Lady of the Assumption School and then
Claremont High. Mrs. Hart was active as
a Girl Scout Troop Leader, known as
Miss Ginna. While her daughters at-
tended school at OLA, Miss Ginna took
great delight in organizing camping trips
and outdoor events. After Chuck died
unexpectedly in November of 1966, and
against the objection of her family, Vir-
ginia took her young daughters on
month-long camping trips for three suc-
cessive summers, imbuing in them both
a love of the outdoors, camping and
travel. The trips were full of adventure,
including burning out the clutch of a
VW camper the first summer and learn-
ing to park with a trailer attached to a
59 Cadillac convertible the second sum-
mer, but she managed everything beauti-
fully, creating wonderful memories for
all three of the Hart girls.
The Harts were avid skiers, going to
Telluride and Squaw Valley regularly.
After moving to Claremont, Virginia
wanted to take advantage of a storm that
dropped a great snowfall on Mount
Baldy, so she grabbed her skies, drove
up as far as she could without chains and
parked. Being both enterprising and ex-
perienced, she found a young man strug-
gling with getting chains on his tires, and
traded a ride to the ski lift in exchange
for getting his chains on. Her personality
was so engaging that people were al-
ways attracted to her and interested in
helping out.
Mrs. Hart loved Claremont, both for
being the Home of Trees and PhDs
and also for the tremendous diversity
that the colleges provide. She regularly
attended lectures, art events and music
and dance performances, and was an ac-
tive member of the Womens Club and
the Soroptimist Society. She was a big
fan of Michael Ryan and his wonderful
guitar work, and attended many of his
performances. She had an unwavering
faith in God and was a very regular
member of Our Lady of the Assumption
Catholic Church. She constantly de-
lighted friends and family with her many
mantras, two of which were, Im on the
No-Stress Express and You cant box
in a Gypsy, and she would often prom-
ise to spin the Tibetan Prayer Wheel for
those in need of a helping hand.
After retiring from the California
Highway Patrol where she worked for
11-plus years, Virginia enjoyed visiting
her daughters in the San Diego and Ar-
royo Grande areas, as well as her brother
and her PanAm pals in Seattle. Driven
by her love of Dixieland jazz bands, she
spent almost 25 Thanksgivings sharing
Thanksgiving Day in San Diego with
daughter Mary and son-in-law Bill Kohr,
then spending the rest of the weekend at
the Towne and Country Hotel in Mission
Valley attending the annual Dixieland
Jazz Band Festival. She was a terrific pi-
anist and even with severe arthritis,
would play for the residents delight at
her apartment complex in Claremont.
After moving to Santa Maria to be closer
to her daughter Carla Hart and grand-
daughter Kai, she delighted in attending
Kais numerous horse shows and took
great pride in seeing Kai compete in
everything from jumping to barrel rac-
ing.
Virginia is characterized by her gen-
erosity of heart, her unfailingly cheerful
spirit, her consideration of other people
and a genuine love of life. Her optimism
and positive outlook kept her in wonder-
ful mental and physical health, even
when eyesight and mobility became dif-
ficult. She touched the lives of so many
in such positive ways that she was an in-
spiration to everyone she met.
She is survived by her daughters
Mary Hart and Carla Hart of San Diego
and Arroyo Grande, by her granddaugh-
ter Kai Aziza Virginia Brown, also of
Arroyo Grande, and by her devoted son-
in-law William Kohr, Mary Harts hus-
band. She is also survived by her
nephew, John Trampaklos, and his wife
Jenny, of Athens, Greece.
A visitation for Virginia will be held at
Lady Family Mortuary on Friday, Octo-
ber 17 from 2 to 4 p.m. in Arroyo
Grande, California, and a funeral mass
will be held on Friday, October 24 at 1
p.m. at Our Lady of the Assumption,
435 N. Berkeley Ave. Questions about
the arrangements can be directed to
Mary Hart at (619) 660-1914.

OBITUARIES
Shirley Spencer McDowell, lover of
the arts, died at Mount San Antonio Gar-
dens on October 11, 2014. She was 91.
She was born on February 15, 1923 in
Syracuse, New York. Her parents were
Josephine Nielsen, born in Denmark,
who after emigrating to the United
States was an employee and model for
the original Peck & Peck department
store in New York City, and Harry Ed-
ward Spencer of Old Town, Maine, an
inventor and chemical engineer. Shirley
was raised in Syracuse until the age of
16. For part of that time, her father was
employed by the USSR, designing and
overseeing construction of its first am-
monia plant located in Berezniki on the
Siberian border. Shirley and her mother
joined him there for a year in 1932.
In 1939 the family moved to Jones-
boro, Louisiana, where Shirley finished
high school and was elected homecom-
ing queen. Her education continued at
Duke University where she completed a
bachelors degree in economics and was
a member of the Kappa Alpha Theta
sorority. In her junior year, she was hon-
ored to be elected to Phi Beta Kappa. In
addition to her academic pursuits,
Shirley was a talented vocal performer
and participated in many musical activi-
ties. She was a soloist with the Chapel
Choir and president of the Womens
Glee Club.
In 1944, Shirley married Henry Hitt
Crane, Jr. who was studying at Duke
Medical School. Following their mar-
riage, she was employed by the Depart-
ment of Neuropsychiatry at Duke
University Hospital. The couple moved
to Detroit, where Henry continued his
education at Wayne University Medical
School and Shirley trained as an oph-
thalmic technician. She spent the next
seven years working for the eminent
ophthalmologist, Dr. Ralph H. Pino. Her
musical interests continued as she stud-
ied voice at the Detroit Conservatory of
Music and sang in the chorus with the
Detroit Symphony on the weekly radio
broadcast, the Ford Sunday Evening
Hour.
In 1952, the Cranes moved to Clare-
mont, where Mr. Crane enrolled in the
Claremont Graduate School. They had
two daughters, Christine and Cheryl.
The Cranes were divorced in 1962.
Shirley was then employed as an oph-
thalmic technician by Dr. Nelson C Bell,
happily working with Dr. Bell for 23
years. She also obtained her credential as
a Biofeedback Therapist and earned an
masters degree in counseling from the
University of LaVerne, going on to spe-
cialize in the treatment of migraine
headaches.
In 1965, Shirley married Claremont
architect Fred W. McDowell. After retir-
ing from Dr. Bells practice, she joined
Fred as an administrative assistant for
his architectural firm.
Mrs. McDowell was actively involved
with a number of organizations in Clare-
mont that supported artistic endeavors.
Closely involved with the Rembrandt
Club, she served on its board for many
years, two of them as president. She also
served as secretary for the Scripps Fine
Arts Foundation, and offered administra-
tive support to the Curtain Raisers. Be-
sides the visual and performing arts, her
many interests included travel, gourmet
cooking (her parties were legendary),
tennis, knitting and poetry, with a special
focus on Haiku.
Following her beloved husbands
death in 2002, Shirley moved to Mt San
Antonio Gardens. In her new home, she
found much enjoyment serving on the
Gallery Committee, facilitating the art
exhibits and writing for the Gardens
newsletter, The Greenleaf.
Mrs. McDowell is survived by her
daughter, Christine Crane (Julian Cur-
ran), and by her grandson, Ryan Spencer
Tyni. She also leaves Freds children, An
McDowell (Dan OBrien), and Hugh
McDowell, and Ans daughter Emily
Rose McDowell. She was predeceased
by her daughter Cheryl Crane.
At her request, no services will be
held. In lieu of flowers, she and her fam-
ily would be pleased to have any re-
membrances directed to Red Oak
Opportunity Foundation, 6450 Moraga
Blvd., Oakland, CA 94611, or visist

T
uesday nights city
council meeting was
proof positive that
water remains a constant con-
cern for Claremont residents.
Following ceremonial matters on the
councils agenda, in-
cluding the introduction
of Architectural Com-
missioner Robert Perry and the recog-
nition of Francine Baker for her many
years of volunteer service as the citys
art coordinator, Mayor Joe Lyons
opened up the room for public com-
ment on items not listed on the agenda.
Water dominated the discussion.
Brian Bowcock, Division III director
with Three Valleys Municipal Water
District, first took to the podium and
opened up the floodgates by providing
an update on our aquifer and other areas
where water is becoming scarce.
The key well, under good conditions,
is normally at 200 feet. Today, as of right
now, its at 181 feet. Thats an all-time
low, Mr. Bowcock explained. To put it
in perspective, each foot of drop is 8,000
acre feet of water in the basin. Since last
year, it has fallen 15 feet.
Mr. Bowcock went on to warn the
council that should the well drop an ad-
ditional 20 feet or so, down to 160 feet,
it is going to have to run all day to
make up for the water that cant be
pulled from the ground.
If we get down to 160 feet, youre
looking at an assessment of energy
costs to exceed $23 million a year, he
said. That doesnt give anyone any
penalty money, thats just actual cost. If
youre running a well eight hours a day
now and youve got to turn it on for 24
hours, thats how serious it is. And we
better start taking it seriously.
According to Mr. Bowcock, our local
reservoirs arent faring well either.
We have three reservoirs, Cogswell,
San Gabriel and Morris. Again, thats
84,000 acre feet of water. Last month, I
told you wed be below the 11,000
mark and we are below the 11,000
mark, he said. Thats 13 percent of
what normal capacity is. Its all we
have, theres no other water and I cant
emphasis that enough.
Mr. Bowcock notified council that
state government will not be sending
water south until April 2015, although
the state did cut the San Gabriel Basin a
little slack last week by sending 5,000
acre feet of water, roughly half a foot,
at a very expensive price. Claremont
has been and will continue to get all of
its water from the Colorado River with
not much of a difference in price.
Taking the water issue in a different
direction was CAWA member and No
on W advocate Mark Sterba. With vi-
sual aids in hand, Mr. Sterba set up his
easel and charts and was immediately,
and repeatedly, reprimanded by council
and city staff for addressing the audi-
ence.
You are to address the council, said
City Manager Tony Ramos as Mr.
Sterba began his opening comments
facing the audience.
While I appreciate all the time and
money Claremont has spent looking at
the acquisition of the water company, I
would like to throw out that there are
major issues with the analysis of the
feasibility study that was completed,
said Mr. Sterba, as he addressed the au-
dience a second time. My first chart,
which you guys cant see...
Excuse me, Mr. Sterba, youre ad-
dressing council, please, Councilman
Larry Schroeder said.
Mr. Sterba continued to direct his
public comment at residents gathered in
council chamber, only to be once again
directed by Mayor Joe Lyons.
Please! You can move [the charts]
outside the building for public viewing
but they are not part of your opportu-
nity to speak to council, Mr. Lyons
said.
Mr. Sterba resumed his presentation,
citing inconsistencies in the citys posi-
tion on Measure W and the feasibility
study, referencing the chart and the
citys sustainability plan to reduce
water usage by 40 percent in 2017 as
presented on the their website.
The problem starts when we get to
the next chart, which shows that the
city intends to increase the sale of water
by 15 percent over the duration of the
feasibility study, Mr. Sterba said.I
concluded this study is flawed on page
2. Line [21] assumes that were going
to use more water year-on-year-on-year
over the next 30 years. How can some-
one produce a feasibility study that
talks about increasing water usage
weeks after a report that was completed
talks about decreasing water usage?
We talk about $28 per month, thats
what we keep hearing. $28 per month
assumes that were going to use more
water. Thats dishonest, Mr. Sterba
continued. To fund a $135 million
bond with coverage ratios of 5 percent
interest is $1,217 per year per family
per home. Thats $101.42 [per month].
Theres a big difference between $101
and $28.
Jeanne Sterba followed her husband
to the podium and discussed the esca-
lating legal costs expected in an emi-
nent domain battle to acquire the water
system.
Its my understanding that my
learnered colleagues at Best, Best and
Kreiger have already billed and/or been
paid by the city of Claremont $1.3 mil-
lion, and we havent even filed a law-
suit yet, said Ms. Sterba. I didnt see
anything in the feasibility study to let
the voters know that its not guaranteed.
Just because you buy a lottery ticket
doesnt mean you win. Just because
you file a lawsuit, doesnt mean you
win.
Ms. Sterba continued, addressing the
council, Do the voters know, do you
all know, the estimated costs and legal
fees of an eminent domain proceeding
thats going to have a full cadre of at-
torneys presenting that case?
Councilman Larry Schroeder and
City Attorney Sonia Carvalho both of-
fered explanations.
As far as the water bond issue goes
and the possible eminent domain ac-
tion, council is not decided on that yet,
Mr. Schroeder said. The city has had a
cadre of professionals, including attor-
neys and financial advisors, working on
this for many years. Much of the
money weve spent was to defend law-
suits that have been placed against the
city by Golden State Water.
Ms. Carvalho tried to provide a fur-
ther breakdown of the citys legal ex-
penses.
I just want it to be clarified that
while the city has been billed approxi-

mately $1.3 millionand some of
those charges have come through the
firm Best, Best, & Kreigernearly
$500,000 has gone towards paying
these type of financial consultants to
prepare the feasibility study, she said.
The city attorney went on the explain
that the appraisals relating to the feasi-
bility study are required by law and
during this process the city has pub-
lished the staff reports and kept the
citys residents well informed on any
money spent.
The public has been informed that
the cost of eminent domain is very
costly and it could range from any-
where from $2 to $5 million, depending
on how long it takes to go through the
court system, Ms. Carvalho said.
Weve also acknowledged in some of
those documents that an eminent do-
main process could take several years
and that doesnt include the potential
for appeal.
Mayor Lyons added, We have
added to the list of documents gener-
ated during this lengthy and often pa-
tience-testing process all on our
website, so this isnt an absence of in-
formation, he said. The insinuation
that the public doesnt have access to
information that would allow them to
be informed is a bit misleading, if not
disingenuous.
With the water discussion closed, the
council moved on to matters presented
on the agenda. Included on the consent
calendar and passed by council was the
adoption of resolutions related to the
calling of the General Election to be
held on March 3, 2015, the approval of
an agreement with RRM Design per-
taining to the Foothill Boulevard Mas-
ter Plan and the approval of the final
tract map for William Lyon Homes on
the southeast corner of Towne Avenue
and Base Line Road.
Also brought before city council and
unanimously adopted was a resolution
of support for the preservation of the La
Casita Girl Scout property, a matter that
was discussed during public comment
at councils last meeting in September.
I wasnt at the last meeting when
this matter came about but I can tell
you, I was in Washington, DC and I
heard the Girl Scouts over there, loud
and clear, said Councilman Sam Pe-
droza.
This is a big part of our overall open
space programs that we have here in the
city, so Im in favor. Ive been on the
council long enough to know you
never, ever cross Girl Scouts in this
town, he continued, jokingly.
The meeting closed with Councilman
Corey Calaycay clarifying the purpose
of public comment.
Public comment is an opportunity
for people to address their concerns to
the city council and why we ask them
to address the council, said Council-
man Calaycay. This is not a venue for
a presentation to the public and so, in
that sense, a portion of that presentation
was out of order.This is not a venue
for a campaign forum.

Campaign expenses mount as Measure W vote nears
CITY COUNCIL/from previous page
A
s Claremont voters decide
whether or not the city should be
authorized to issue water revenue
bonds up to $135 million to pay for the
acquisition of the water system, the com-
mitteesboth for and against Measure
Whave been working overtime to par-
lay their message into a deciding vote in
their favor.
The committees motivations are noble, their mes-
sages clear and one thing is obvious: sharing that
message with Claremont voters doesnt come cheap.
Theres no doubt about it, water is big business for
Golden State Water Company (GSW). With big busi-
ness comes deep pockets, and it appears GSW is rein-
forcing that axiom by using their resources in their
attempt to defeat Measure W at the polls next month.
Stop the Water TaxNo on Wsponsored by
Golden State Water and supported by Claremont Tax-
payers and Homeowners filed their Recipient Com-
mittee Campaign Statement on October 6, giving
voters some transparency with regards to the tactics
and resources used by the committee. The California
Form 460 covers No on Ws pre-election contribu-
tions and expenses from January 1, 2014 through
September 30, 2014.
With contributions totaling $288,299.67, its not
surprising the primary contributor is the committees
sponsor, Golden State Water, at $277,556.34, with an
additional $10,743.33 coming from their previous
committee, Let Claremont Vote on the $80 Million.
In addition, the records credit GSW for an in-kind
contribution for meeting with a fair market value of
$126.69, bringing their total committee contribution
to $277.683.03.
The No on W committees expenses are equally as
staggering, totaling $171,487.51 with Tustin-based
Manter Communications receiving the bulk of the
payment for campaign consulting services at $40,000.
Public relations firm Randle Communications follows
a close second with $33,483.57 towards their cam-
paign consultant fees as well as travel and office ex-
penses, although $18,284.42 has yet to be paid by the
committee.
The Insight Group, an Arizona consulting firm fo-
cused on helping product-based companies imple-
ment high-growth services strategies, received
$31,181.32 for polling and survey research as well as
travel, lodging and meals for staff.
SDA Creative Inc., a full-service design agency in
Orange County, received $20,001.80 for their work
on the campaign, including but not limited to para-
phernalia and literature, information technology and
consulting.
Bell, McAndrews & Hiltachk, the Sacramento law
firm listed as Treasurer for the No on W committee,
has been paid $15,016.15 to date for their legal ex-
pertise.
Campaign literature and mailings totaled
$46,399.45. The committee also spent an additional
$4,575 on various slate mailers. The cost of postage,
delivery and messenger service totaled $38,200.
Print ads, including those published in the
COURIER, cost the committee $10,987.45.
No on Ws Campaign Disclosure Statement Sum-
mary Page reflects an ending cash balance of
$116,812.16minus the $18,284.42 still due to Ran-
dle Communicationsleaving plenty of funds in the
remaining weeks to continue their fight to defeat the
citys water revenue bond measure.
Those pushing for a Yes vote on Measure W have
also filed a pre-election statement. Claremont Friends
of Locally Owned Water (FLOW) reveal their mone-
tary contributions and expenses from July 1, 2014
through September 30.
In the three months recorded, the grassroots com-
mittee has received $23,845 in monetary contribu-
tions ranging from $100 to $1,000 from roughly 80
local donors. An additional nonmonetary contribution
of $32.70 adds to the total, bringing the committees
balance to $23,877.70.
FLOWs largest expense has been to various busi-
nesses for campaign paraphernalia at $6,626.63. Ad-
ditional expenses include fundraising events at $230,
a $50 FPPC filing fee as well as $97.50 for postage,
delivery and messenger service.
Void of any outstanding debts, Claremont FLOW
has an ending cash balance of $16,784.81 to continue
their Vote Yes on Measure W campaign.
According to the citys Public Information Officer
Bevin Handel, the city of Claremont has spent ap-
proximately $11,000 for two mailings and $13,680 in
legal advertising and consulting services with Martin
& Chapman for legal notices calling the election in
various languages in various publications. In addition,
the city has paid $52,350 on the $176,000 Fiona Hut-
ton & Associates contract. The contract, which in-
cludes the ballot measure education and information,
also focuses on other matters relating to Claremonts
water including the potential system acquisition, so
pulling out the expense just for Measure W would be
difficult.
The hours put forth by the city managers office
and the city clerk in regards to Measure W are in-
cluded in staff salaries, so its of no additional ex-
pense to the city.
Ms. Handel also says the city will not receive a bill
from the County of Los Angeles for election services,
such as adding the ballot to the General Election, until
after November 4. The estimated cost is expected to
be $75,000, which includes everything from sample
ballots to printing, polling and counting votes.
With money still in the coffers and a little more
than three weeks remaining in this contentious water
fight, Claremont voters can expect to be flooded with
messages from both sides of the ballot measure.
Residents still seeking clarification on Measure W
are encouraged to visit the city website at
www.ci.claremont.ca.us.

CITY NEWS
T
emple Beth Israel is
about to take on a new
identity, along with its
role as local community of
faith. With the replacement of
nearly 10,000 square feet of
grass with a large sustainable
garden, the temple will also
serve as an urban farm.
This past Sunday a groundbreaking
ceremony was held for the latest Fid-
dleneck Family Farm, an undertaking
that is being welcomed by Temple Beth
leadership and congregants but over-
seen by the Claremont nonprofit Un-
common Good.
The crops will be cultivated by un-
employed farmers whose kids are part
of the Uncommon Good program that,
among other aims, seeks to uplift at-
risk youth and their families through
education and opportunities. The agri-
cultural workers are given full-time
hours and a living wage.
Half the produce grown at Fiddle-
neck Family Farms is given to Uncom-
mon Good participants. The other half
will add to the fresh, organic produce
currently sold at the organizations
Whole Earth houseinnovative head-
quarters tucked at a site behind the
Claremont Methodist Churchthrough
the website UncommonGood.com, and
through the locally-sourced food web-
site GoodEggs.com. All those profits
go right back into Uncommon Goods
many endeavors.
Ms. Mintie is delighted with the way
Uncommon Goods clientele is grow-
ing via word of mouth. You can buy
veggies and fruits individually or in
boxes available on Tuesdays, which can
be picked up at the office or delivered
to Claremont homes for a small fee
$20 gets you a box of fruits and vegeta-
bles capable of feeding one to two
people for a week. The price is $26 for
a box tailored at feeding three to five
people.
That is a screaming deal. It would
cost a lot more at the supermarket. Its
absolutely fresh, Ms. Mintie said.
And not only is your food dollar buy-
ing you the healthiest, freshest possible
organic food for yourself and your fam-
ily, your food dollar is going to a good
cause, instead of making the sharehold-
ers of a company richer.
She encourages folks to come check
out what fresh-grown goodies they
have at the office, which is open Mon-
day to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and
Tuesdays until 7 p.m.
It goes from the ground to the plate
in less than one day, she enthused.
Right now we have arugula and all
kinds of fancy lettuces, green onions,
radishes, carrots, squash, persimmons
and oranges. We also have basil cilantro
and parsley. It can change from day-to-
daywhatever is locally grown and in
season.
Leaders at the Pomona temple had
already been thinking about making its
landscaping more sustainable when
they were approached by Uncommon
Good, according to Temple Beth Israel
Cantor Paul Buch.
Weve been looking for a way or
considering alternatives to the large
grass areas we have on the front of the
property, with the largest part of the
grass being on the Towne Avenue side,
Mr. Buch said. Weve been talking
about ways to be more environmentally
sensitive. With the water shortage, we
dont want to be watering grass just to
look good if there are alternatives.
Alta Loma resident Al Shapiro is the
chairman of buildings and grounds for
Temple Beth Israels board of trustees.
As such, he has been coordinating the
farm project, putting together the con-
tract with Uncommon Good for the
temple to provide the land and working
with the group to seek funding.
Having grass replaced with crops is a
big change, Mr. Shapiro noted, but he
believes there are many benefits.
I think the congregants will see the
value. Theres a Hebrew concept called
tikkun olam, which means repairing the
world, he said. Were taught in the
Torah that we should do acts of jus-
ticeincluding environmental and in-
cluding other peoplehelping to repair
the world. In other words, if you see
someone hungry you should feed them.
If you see someone unclothed, you
should dress them. If you see someone
unemployed, you should help employ
them.
Uncommon Good will employ farm-
ers and feed hungry families and, by
using a drip-system, will likely reduce
the Temples water usage significantly.
The partnership is a win-win, Mr.
Shapiro said.
He also stressed the value of the non-
profits Connect to College program,
which provides tutoring and mentoring
for kids whodue to socio-economic

From temple to farm and from farm to table:
Temple Beth Israel partners with Uncommon Good
Uncommon Good Director Nancy Mintie gives a brief talk at Temple Beth Israel, where community members joined together
to celebrate the groundbreaking of a 10,000-square-foot farm. The farm will be managed by farmworkers Jesus Salazar, Miguel
Bonilla and Jose Garcia, seen here with Ms. Mintie, and will sell locally-grown produce through Uncommon Good.
factorsare at risk for doing poorly at
school and who might not otherwise
see their college potential.
The lawn does nothing except being
aesthetically pleasing to the eye, he
said. If you put in a vegetable farm, it
could be pleasing to the eye, and how
much more pleasant that were walking
our talk, were living our values. Its a
fantastic project. I dont know how to
describe it. Its totally what the Torah
teaches us.
Like most sites in the area, the Tem-
ple grounds are not ideal for gardening,
according to Ms. Mintie.
The soil is absolutely terrible: its
sandy, rocky, glacial, porous soil, so it
is awful, she said.
It would take five years to try to
whip the earth into good growing
shape, but Uncommon Good doesnt
plan to waste any time doing more
good. They will use raised-bed farm-
ing. Theres plenty to be done, includ-
ing removing the grass, bringing in
healthy soil, building the raised beds
and installing drip irrigation and fenc-
ing. Still, with hard work, the latest
Fiddleneck Family Farms site, should
be up and running before you know it.
With luck, maybe by the holidays
be pulling our first harvest from there,
Ms. Mintie said.
After that, Claremonts first Fiddle-
neck Family Farms will break ground
at the Claremont Presbyterian Church,
where Uncommon Good already has a
small garden. This will add another
9,000-square-feet to the organizations
farmland, creating an exponential ex-
pansion of the nonprofits food pro-
gram.
Its an exciting time for Uncommon
Good, according to Ms. Mintie.
We really feel that the potential is
unlimited. Everywhere you look there
is unused grass space and there are
rooftopswe have a rooftop garden on
our Whole Earth building. Its changing
the way we look at landscape. Instead
of expecting to see lawns everywhere
we turn, if we can expect to see food, it
will lower our carbon footprint and
bring the healthiest possible food into
our community.
Along with buyers of their produce,
Uncommon Good is looking for com-
munity members to serve as mentors
and tutors for the hundreds of kids in
their program. For information, visit

Convinced the cure for his fathers mental illness lies
in the separation of Mans evil nature from his good,
Jekyll unwittingly unleashes his own dark side,
wreaking havoc in the streets of London as the sav-
age, maniacal Edward Hyde. With an amazing score
by Broadway tunesmith Frank Wildhorn and memo-
rable songs such as This is the Moment, Someone
Like You, and Take Me as I Am, this gothic horror
thriller is sure to send a chill down your spine.
November 29 through December 27: Its Christ-
mas Every Day. For Barnie and Betty Walli it is
quite literally Christmas Every Day. They own
Wallis Christmas Pavilion, a holiday decorators
palace, where Christmas lasts all the year through.
After 25 years of making spirits bright, Barnie has
lost his Christmas feeling. But with the help of Betty
and his employees (a madcap team of holiday deco-
rating fools) he wont be a humbug for long. Dont
miss this heartwarming holiday treat; its perfect for
family, friends, co-workers, and of course, kids too.
As is always the tradition here at Candlelight Pavil-
ion, Santa and Mama stay after the performance to
meet guests.

laremont cross country
continues to roll over
the competition with
impressive results on Saturday
at the Clovis Invitational at
Woodward Park in Fresno.
Boys varsity came in third be-
hind Great Oak and Canyon,
missing second by only three
points.
Jonah Ross was the Packs top finisher
in 16th place with a time of 15:36, which
was a personal record on that course. Just
behind Ross were Mike Lowrie at 15:38
and Adam Johnson at 15:48, racking up
two more personal records.
The girls varsity team came in fifth out
of 26 teams on a phenomenal perform-
ance from sophomore Annie Boos, who
not only had a personal record at 18:23,
but also set a school record for the Wood-
ward Park course. Tess Rounds was just
behind at 18:27, which would have been
a school record if not for Boos run.
Rounding out the top three was Jax
Heckers at 19:03.
Girls golf played their final Palomares
League match last week against Ayala
High at Marshall Canyon Golf Course.
The top three Claremont players did very

Claremonts Allison Gallegos and
Ayalas Allie Montero, who both shot a
47. Claremonts Vanessa Lopez also had
a good day, shooting a 49.

: Halloween
My name is Pansy. Thats the name I was
given at the New York ASPCA when they
plucked me out of a dumpster. My roomie,
Maggie, didnt want a two-year-old orange
feral nonstop howler at first, but I caught her
slacks as she was cuddling the cute kittens and
I wouldnt let go. What could she say?
When we got home, her neighbors on East
83rd St. had already left a pot of pansies to
welcome the new addition, soooo that clinched
the deal. Shes a bagpiper, but has other re-
deeming social qualities that make up for it.
Now, we live at Pilgrim Place, where every-
one knows me. I hang out in this sunny win-
dowsill, where my public can sit and admire
the many birds that flock to the feeders and
bird baths just outsideand me, too, of
course. She thinks Im guarding the house, so
this is our little secret. Shhh!
*Pansys human is Margo Maggie Hover,
a supervisor emerita/spiritual director with
the ACPE/NACC.
T
hink youre a Halloween fanatic?
Before you answer, you might
want to reconsider how much
you know about this popular holiday.
Halloween hasnt always been a night of trick-or-
treating, costumes and candy-filled bags. Among an-
cient people, it was a festival that celebrated the link
between seasonal life cycles.
Halloween has taken on a variety of names over the
years. It has been called: Summers End, All Hallows
Eve, Witches Night, Lamswool and Snap-Apple Night.
Ancient Celtic festivals included rituals youll rec-
ognize, including costumes, trick-or-treating, light-
ing bonfires, telling ghost stories and attending
parties.
During this time Halloween was referred to as
Summers End (Samhain), which marked the death
of summer and the start of the new Celtic year, a
night of magic and power. The Celts believed that
October 31 was when the Lord of Death called to-
gether the souls that died the past year to travel to
the afterlife.
During this time, ghosts and demons were free to
roam the earth and cause trouble. The living, hoping
to avoid trouble, dressed themselves in ghoulish cos-
tumes. Masked villagers hosted parades to lead spir-
its out of town limits and Celts would offer food to
keep sure the spirits in a good mood.
Summers End became All Hallows Day when
Christianity spread through the Roman Empire.
This new identity didnt quite stick so it went
through a few name transitions, which include All
Hallow Even and Halloween until finally it was
dubbed Halloween.
The tradition altered its customs. The dead were
remembered through prayer, not by acts of sacrifice.
And church members would go house-to-house car-
rying a turnip lantern with a candle to symbolize the
souls trapped in purgatory. In exchange, Soul
Cakes were offered for prayers.
During the American Revolution, society became
more tolerant of religious differences. The family
farm was still a huge part of American life, and so
the harvest and changing seasons were still important
events. At this time, there was a renewed emphasis
on costume parties and house-to-house visits. The
turnip was traded for the pumpkin, and the symbol
of the Jack OLantern was born.
It wasnt until the 20th century that Halloween be-
came a bona fide North American holiday. Candy
manufacturers and businesses that sold sweets took
advantage of the fact that trick-or-treating had be-
come a national practice and launched Halloween ad
campaigns. Currently, Halloween holds the title for
the worlds largest national holiday, right beside
Christmas. It is now celebrated in various forms
around the world, making it an enjoyable event for
both children and adults.

DEAR ADY: I am embarrassed to say
this, but Im kind of scared of Halloween. I
dont mind the jack olanterns and most of
the costumes. But there are some really
gross decorationslike bloody stuff and
bonesand all kinds of commercials for
horror movies. My best friend has invited
me to go trick-or-treating and I want to go,
but Im afraid some of the scary costumes
and decorations will freak me out.
Sincerely, Creeped Out in Claremont
DEAR CREEPED OUT: I understand
you completely. One time my dad and I
were at Disneylands California
Adventure where there is a ride called
Tower of Terror. We got in line for it,
and as we got closer to getting on the
ride, I was so scared I cried. We got out
of the line we had been waiting in for a
long time. Later, after some
encouragement from my dad, I decided
to get back in line. And when we finally
got on, it was so fun! Think of
Halloween that way: you can be scared
of it, but once you decide to be brave
and face your fear, you might just love it.
To do that, one thing to keep in mind
is that all the costumes and decorations
are fake, and the people in scary movies
are just actors playing scary parts. I
would try to stay clear of some of the
really scary costumes and movies,
because some are only meant for older
people, but if you do see them, keep
calm and remember theyre just fun,
dress-up costumes. No one is actually
the scary creature that they are playing.
You can also feel safe because friends
and parents will be there with you. You
can pretty much trust them to keep you
safe. You should try to have a good time
on Halloween and enjoy the spooky
spirit. (Besides, without Halloween, no
big bags of candy am I right?!)

oo! When the COURIER
asked local students to
participate in our Clare-
mont Kids Halloween story
contest, we had no idea the
floodgates we were opening.
We got over 120 stories, most of
which were interesting, scary and well-
written. It presented a challenge: How
do we reward and recognize as many
young writers as possible?
In the end, we selected 13 essaysa
spooky number perfect for Hal-
loweenthat we felt were top-notch.
The first prize goes to Jaylah Bennett,
an 11-year-old at Chaparral Elementary
School whose story was not only grip-
ping but included a beautifully written
spell that is sheer poetry! She will be
attending a showing of the musical The
Three Little Pigs at the Lewis Family
Playhouse in Rancho Cucamonga. This
is the West Coast premiere of a very
curly musical tail created by the
award-winning team behind Honk!
and Broadways Marry Poppins. Con-
gratulations, Jaylah!
Our other 12 winners will be receiving
some sweet treats courtesy of 21 Choices!
And all 13 of our favorite stories can be
seen in full at claremont-courier.com.

S
pell, Kennedy uttered in a
whisper, still staring at the
plaque. I moved closer to
read what it said:
To venture past, to walk along,
To dare to hear the banshees song,
To pass this door, you will find,
Sense and sanity left behind.
Your greatest fears will be revealed,
Breaking through the nightmare field.
The doors will open as you pass,
The end is near, unless youre fast.
To end the end, put them back here,
You first must reach the rooftop pier,
And rewrite all of the fears,
In the order you saw them appear.
Spell, she insisted again in a whisper,
and this time I agreed. Too stunned to
move, we sat in silence, taking it all in.
Jaylah Bennett, 11, Chaparral
Elementary School
I
t said, Dear Diary, I am testing my
invention on a person, which is me.
It is a big risk. Three times I tested
on fruit, and two times it worked. Once
it didnt, but at least I did it on fruit.
That was it, I thought. The letter was
not finished. I bet the invention did not
work on him, whatever it was. I wonder
what happened to the inventor, and how
long ago it was. Could the inventor still
be here? Does he have anything to do
with the creepy voice or the ghost that
people claim to have seen in the house?
Although, since the house is known to
be haunted, very few people have ever
been to the house. . .
I should start to get going, I started
thinking. It all seemed kind of creepy.
But then the voice called again. You
dont have very much time left. You
didnt listen to my warning, and you
know way too much. Keep exploring if
you can, but you have been warned.
Hahahahahahaha!
Cecilia Ryan, a fourth grader at
Sycamore Elementary School
T
here were grand doors with what
I assumed used to be lion statues
flanking them. I tried the doors.
They were unlocked. Thats weird.
Why lock the gate but not the doors? I
wondered as I quickly walked in.
As I crept in, I saw there was a lot of
pottery. Clay pots, glass pots, small
pots, tall pots, so many pots. I could
have sold half of them and still have a
hundred left. That is, if I could reach
them. They were all high up on shelves
that were creaking with age. Then there
was the smell, a rotting smell, like
someone died here. I wandered over to
the fireplace where there was a plaque
that said Bengiman Blake. A shiver
crept up my spine. Begiman Blake was
the serial killer who stuffed his victims
insides in pots for scientific purposes.

A
s Sara walked out of her house,
Nicole complimented, Wow, you
make an amazing Cinderella!
Sara did look amazing. She had her
beautiful blonde hair designed just like
the real Cinderella, she had a magnifi-
cent dress and, of course, she had shiny
glass slippers!
Thanks! And wed better go. Its al-
ready 11:00. We dont want to be late,
Sara exclaimed happily. The two
walked a couple blocks until they came
face-to-face with the empty house on
their block. Everyone called it The
Horrible Haunted House. There was
even a rumor that if anyone went in,
they never came out.
I dare you to go in, Nicole whispered.
Katelyn Lam, a sixth grader at
Sumner Elementary School
W
hen they opened the fence,
they couldnt believe what
their eyes were looking at. It
was many well-trimmed bushes in a
crooked, bent way that looked like a
maze. They both decided to go in.
As they went in, they noticed the diffi-
cult maze was getting darker and harder
with each of their footsteps. Elise noticed
the walls were closing in! It got
so dark, they couldnt see
where they were going and
fell in a hole! Soon, they
found out what was
making the eerie noise.
It was a shiny organ.
They took one step
forward and before
they knew it, they
got trapped in a
rusty, dirty cage.
They yelled and
screamed but no-
body could hear
them from the hole,
except one person.
Sabah Abdel-
Hameid, a sixth
grader at Sumner
Elementary School
I
know I should leave right now, but
my dumb curiosity drives me for-
ward into the next section. After
looking at it thoroughly, I decide that I
like this area much better than I did the
previous. The wood is still rotting, but
more light shines through the walls. The
floor is stone. I have a good feeling
about this area.
Then I heard the voices.
Evermore, Evermore, they chant. I
look wildly around. The floor and walls
seem to be alive with rising cat spirits. The
Evermore. Ive heard stories about them.
Phoebe R. Olsen, a sixth grader
at Sumner Elementary School
I
took in the old musty smell of the
old, dusty house and I said to myself,
If I decided to check this out in the
first place, Ill at least check it out some
more. I didnt have any more time for
thinking because a little head of an old
lady with pointy ears poked out of the
panel about the length of my thigh.
Do you have a reservation, young
lad? she inquired. She had a slight Eng-
lish accent and she smelled strongly of
tea and scones. Uh, what for? I replied.
For the Transbreed Inn and Suites
in Claremont. If you dont have a reser-
vation, Ill take you anyway. I have one
more junior human room left.
Rowan Orlijan-Rhyne, a sixth
grader at Sumner Elementary School
T
he being finally appeared and, just
like before, I was awestruck. I felt
frozen solid. Maybe it was just the
webs, but I was awestruck to look down.
The being appeared to be a giant human-
snake-spider mix. He (now I was certain
the being was a he) looked like a TV
show Godzilla, with all of Godzillas fea-
tures, except a miniature version. He was
scaly, with banana yellow, cat-like eyes
and spider legs, plus two large arms. Why
was he here? I didnt know, but what I did
know was he did not like intruders, based
on the tone of voice when I came in.
Elija Lev Wakefield, 10,
Sycamore Elementary School
I
told my mom I was going to the li-
brary, but I secretly went to the
house. When I got there, the wind
blew the old, dead trees. I went through
a gate that led to the door, but it was
locked! I looked everywhere for a clue.
Then a bat flew by. It had something
shiny in its claws. It was the keys! I
jumped at the right time and got them.
Yes! I took the wood off the door, put
in the key and went in the house.
Kyra Stewart, a sixth grader at
Daycreek Intermediate School,
Rancho Cucamonga
S
o I went in the house yard and it
was 12 oclock on a Halloween
night. (Dun, dun, duuuun!) I guess
I wasnt the only one who wanted to in-
vestigate the house. I found a boy on the
steps. I had the joy to freak him out.
What in the world are you doing here?
Ah, dont hurt me, ple. . .
I will if you dont tell me who you
are and what you are doing here!
Sayvon Natan, a sixth grader at
A
s soon as we opened the door,
we were in horrifying shock.
There was an array of mutant
pumpkins, ghosts and cicadas. Since I
opened the door, they jumped on us and
escaped. They were stealing all the
candy and theres nothing we children
could do. I tried to punch a cicada but
he blocked and punched me back. We
could do nothing.
Just then, my brother had a spicy idea.
He said the weakness of mutation is
spiciness. So I went to the worlds great-
est grocery store, Mr. Cooking World. I
bought 150 red, yellow and green bell
peppers. I also bought a tiny blender.
Isaac Rivas, a sixth grader at
I
gasped. I really wanted to take back
the gasp because right after I said it,
she looked disappointed. Sorry, I
stated. So can I have a tour of the
house, Mom? Then mom, the ghost,
said, Sure! But you have to watch
where you step. I wasnt prepared for
company. Ghost Lady looked embar-
rassed. Then all of a sudden...
Maddie Vogel, 9, Sycamore
Elementary School
A
s we softly opened the door, we
heard a door shut. When we got
inside, we glanced left and saw
a room. We saw a fireplace with some
sticks on fire and a cauldron full of boil-
ing liquid the color of puce. Once we
finished looking at the fireplace, we
went to the kitchen. While we were in
the kitchen, we saw a shelf of potions.
When we were looking at potions, we
heard a door open.
Lexi Santiago Montgomery-Smith,
a sixth grader at Sumner Elementary
T
he ground floor was mostly stor-
age. There were boxes every-
where. I got out my flashlight
and tried the switch. Out of batteries,
I said to myself. Got to do without a
light. I opened one of the boxes. It was
filled with creepy old dolls. I opened
more boxes. More dolls! Then I got to
one last box. No dolls but a picture, a
picture of my parents.
I was really freaked out but I knew
that I must go on, so I went up the stairs.

actions, however, the personal representative will be
required to give notice to interested persons unless

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.

should appear at the hearing and state your objec-
tions or file written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by
your attorney.
IF YOU ARE ACREDITOR or a contingent credi-
tor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the
court and mail a copy to the personal representative
appointed by the court within the later of either (1)
four months from the date of first issuance of letters
to a general personal representative, as defined in
section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2)
60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery
to you of a notice under section 9052 of the Califor-
nia Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority may affect
your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with
an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
YOU MAYEXAMINE the file kept by the court. If
you are a person interested in the estate, you may file
with the court a Request for Special Notice (form
DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of
estate assets or of any petition or account as provided
in Probate Code section 1250. ARequest for Special
Notice form is available from the court clerk.

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 high-
est bid at a trustee auction does not automatically
entitle you to free and clear ownership of the prop-
erty. 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 re-
sponsible 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 investi-
gate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding
liens that may exist on this property by contacting
the county recorders office or a title insurance
company, either of which may charge you a fee for
this information. If you consult either of these re-
sources, 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 infor-
mation 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 (626) 579-5350
or visit this Internet Web site , using the file num-
ber assigned to this case 14-05-790. 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 in-
formation or on the Internet Web site. The best way
to verify postponement information is to attend the
scheduled sale.

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

O
ur family was fortunate to have
Geoff as a neighbor for years, and
then to be able to experience his care and
expertise as a realtor when my parents
decided to sell their home in Claremont.
Geoff and his associates ushered us
through each step in the process with
patience, and the house sold quickly for
the approved priceunderscoring his
knowledge as well as his specialty in the
Claremont market. I would certainly
recommend his services, as you will be
working with someone who is intelligent
and friendly, as well as a true expert in his
field. The Madsen Family at 276
Lamar Drive
G
eoff was perfect. He came with
exemplary recommendations and
did what he said he would in a very
professional manner. I congratulate Wheeler
Steffen Sotheby's for such an extraordinary
Realtor associate. If I come across anyone
who wants to buy or sell a house, I wouldn't
recommend anyone else! David Rosen-
feld at 711 Santa Clara Avenue
T
hanks Geoff for guiding me
through the process, and getting
such good results. Both sales went very
smoothly at all stages. Geoff priced both
houses perfectly. We got multiple offers on
both. He was responsive and always kept
me aware of the status of the transactions.
I'm thoroughly satisfied. Thanks! Jeff
