ajor newspapers from around the country have discovered a serious byline problem. They include dailies from San Francisco, Chicago and Houston, among others. It seems staff reporters did not write certain local stories in these papers.
They were outsourced to a company called Journalic. In an effort to hide how they did business, Journalic decided to use fake bylines to disguise the fact that people from the Philippines wrote some of these local stories. The writers were paid as little as $4 per story. I cannot say strongly enough (well, I guess I am) there are so many things wrong with this concept of reporting from ethics to quality controlmedia executives should be running far away from this company. Unfortunately, they have not. Brian Timpone, a former television reporter and community newspaper owner, founded Journalic 6 years ago. He knew there was a need for local information on police arrests, sports scores, real estate sales and other items that can be quite time consuming to report. So as newspaper executives continued to look for ways to cut costs, but still focus on local news, Journalic became an option for larger papers struggling for a solution. The reasoning was staff reporters would then have more time to cover important stories. This worked because Journalic reporters would comb the Internet looking for local information depending on who had contracted them. These bits of information would be sent to the publication for publishing. Right now they work with dozens of newspapers around the country. But Journalic reporters are never part of the communities they report on. And in an effort to cut their own costs, much of the work was outsourced to other countries. The company now boasts 60 full-time reporters and 200 freelancers as they attempt to expand coverage. Once again this is just another classic case of media executives following the flock on something that saves money, yet knowing this is a short-term solution with no longterm results. In other wordsreaders will figure it out. Theres also this little issue of ethics, trying to pass off local news written by people who work thousands of miles away. Another area that gets lost in this shuffle is the contacts a local reporter will make when placing calls, checking events and confirming information while talking to residents and city officials. The bottom line is, it takes resources to cover local news accurately and theres no real way to get around it. Its no secret that reporters must have a stake in the community they cover in order to bring quality journalism to readers.

Brenda Bolinger heads to Pitzer If you read her final column last week, you know that today, Wednesday, is Brenda Bolingers last day at the COURIER. During her 10-year career she has made significant contributions to our coverage of Claremont. Brenda is best known for her feature and obituary writing. She has a way of making her subjects feel at ease, giving her stories a descriptive, real life feel. Brenda is a prolific writer who generally was challenged to write stories under 1000 words. Although I would chide her about this, its a testimony to how complete and thorough her work is. Brendas work and approach in dealing with grieving families who wanted to publish an obituary in the COURIER was second to none. She had a way of being sympathetic and understanding, yet would not hesitate to ask difficult questions if necessary. When I first started to work as publisher over 4 years ago, Brenda kind of reminded me of a union steward for our employees. She was always particular about making sure I understood how long an assignment would take and the important roles the staff played in producing the COURIER. But once she got to know me better, those conversations eventually faded away. Brenda still holds the COURIER record for the longest sentence, using the most semicolons. Im not exactly sure how many words were included, but I know she will never be topped. I could go on and on. But will stop and say I wish you well Brenda Bolinger. We will miss you. New faces at the COURIER Although change sometimes can be difficult, we at the COURIER enjoy seeing new staffers ready to meet the Claremont community. Former COURIER managing editor Sarah Torribio, has signed on as our staff education and obituary reporter. She is an experienced reporter and obviously well versed with Claremont issues. Jessica Gustin started Monday as our new classified marketing manager. She is a Claremont resident who will also help us with our website advertising and other endeavors. There will be more extended profiles of these new staff members in the Saturday paper and website.

Backpack campaign launched by Shoes That Fit
he new school year may be far from the minds of sunbathing schoolchildren, but not from those of the Claremont-based nonprofit Shoes That Fit, which kicked off its Back-toSchool Campaign last week. The campaign runs through Sunday, July 29.
Every year, Shoes That Fit partners with schools from local school districts for its yearly campaign to provide needy children with an assortment of school supplies as well as back-to-school shoes and clothes. Its just a natural thing. Theres such a need for shoes for children in
the surrounding area and, with going back to school, they are also going to need supplies, said Jarret Bjornsen of Shoes That Fit. As part of the project, more than 300 backpacks were crammed into the party room of the Villages Bath Workshop, which has spearheaded community involvement in the backpack project and other Shoes That Fit campaigns over the last several years. Twice yearly the Claremont Village Marketing Group partners with Shoes That Fit to provide socks, shoes and other needed items. This cycles crop of backpacks will be distributed to participating locations throughout the week, where interested participants may select a pack for the filling. Each backpack contains a nametag with a corresponding child
in need of back-to-school assistance. The tag also contains their school grade and shoe size. Participants are asked to fill the backpack with brand new socks, shoes and school items found on a list inside the backpack, which can be found at an array of Village shops. Participating locations include The Bath Workshop, Some Crust, Sacas Mediterranean Cuisine, Stamp Your Heart Out, Aromatique, A Brush With the Past, Sonja Stump Photography, Buddhamouse Emporium, Nectar, Bert & Rockys Cream Company and Colors 91711. For more information, call campaign organizers at the Bath Workshop, 625-3417.

Children find relief from heat in local wading pool
or decades, the Memorial Park wading pool, which has been open since mid-June, has provided a cool haven for local youngsters.
To beat the summer heat, its common to find at least a dozen children, from tottering babies to kindergarteners, enjoying the perennial attraction. Its fun to watch the kids playthey really enjoy it. Its nice that the city provides a way for families to cool down, said Nicole Koorndyk, a lifeguard and summer instructor with Claremonts Recreation Department. Hours for the Memorial Park wading pool, which will be open through August 10, are Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. There are 2 other city wading pools, open during the same hours but on fewer days. The wading pool at El Barrio Park (400 block of Claremont Boulevard) is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the wading pool at Wheeler Park (626 Vista Dr.) is open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. As Claremonts primary community park, Memorial Parks wading poolembellished with sea creatures hand-painted by community services staff is the best known of these shallow-water oases. On Monday, 3-year-old Maya and her twin brother Shaw hit the wading pool with their mother, Satoko Siegel. The Rancho Cucamonga family has been coming to Memorial Parks kiddie pool since the twins were one. I like it because its a safe environment, the waters always clean and someones always here watching the kids, Ms. Siegel said. Kelsey Demke of Rancho likes the wading pool because it tires out the 2 young Claremonters shes babysitting this summer, 5-year-old Austin BohrerBurg and his 2-year-old brother Dean Bohrer-Burg.
Ms. Demke noted a couple of activities her charges have enjoyed this summer: Toddler Storytime at the Claremont Library (Wednesdays at 11 a.m.) and stopping by Bert & Rockys Cream Co. for an ice cream cone. The pool is obviously another favorite for Austin. The water feels good, he said, while a sunbrowned Dean ran around on the grass wearing a swim diaper and a smile.
Eleven-year-old Jared Rodriguez is a bit older than the pools target audience of 5 and younger. He took off his shoes anyway and waded in to help his mother, Leah Losser, supervise his 8-month-old brother Justin Rodriguez. It feels good dipping my feet in, he noted. Jared, who will start junior high this fall, said he likes being a big brother. Im waiting til he grows up. Im going to teach him the ways, he said, using air quotes for emphasis. Ms. Losser, a Claremont High School alumna, clearly enjoys teaching her children the ways of Memorial Park. She recalls walking there every summer after her nap. Monday represented the first time Justinwho padded around in the water, holding his mothers hands for support used the wading pool. Ms. Losser also hopes to take the boys to Memorial Park for one of the annual evening movie screenings. Happy Feet 2 will be shown there on Tuesday, August 7 during the grand finale of the Movies in the Park series. Its fun to be back in the park where I grew up, seeing them enjoying the same things I did, Ms. Losser said. Four-year-old Erica Williamson certainly enjoyed herself in the wading pool, which she said offers reliefand not just from the heat. I cant swim in the big pool, because Im very scared, she said. I like the little one. Memorial Park is located at 840 N. Indian Hill Blvd.

Teachers receive bonuses, health care premium contributions
eachers in the Claremont Unified School District are pleased with recent contract negotiations, said Joe Tonan, former faculty union president.
In mid-June, some 99 percent of local educators voted to ratify the new contract, which was approved by the district at the Thursday, July 12 meeting of the CUSD board of education. The contract, which was revamped in its entirety, included a bit of financial relief in the wake of recent austerities. Full-time teachersalong with all full-time equivalent district employeeswill receive a one-time bonus check of $1800, which is likely to arrive by August 1, said Kevin Ward, assistant superintendent of human resources. Part-time employees will also receive what the district has termed an employee compensation adjustment commensurate with the number of hours they work, he noted. For example, a 40 percent employee
would receive 40 percent of the $1800. The funds are coming from district reserves, which Mr. Tonan says have grown from 9 percent of the general fund to about 20 percent in the last few years. He estimated the dollar amount of the current reserve fund as $10 million, up from $4.5 million. The district accumulated the large reserve in anticipation of further state budget cuts that did not occur, said Mr. Ward. The compensation may not change any lives, but Mr. Ward said he feels the checks will be welcome, particularly given they are arriving in the summer. The timing couldnt be better, he said. Managing health care premiums Over the past number of years, all CUSD staff have experienced the combined effects of no raises, increased employee contribution to health benefits, lack of supplieswhich they donateand increased responsibilities and workload, Mr. Ward said. Mr. Ward and Mr. Tonan agreed that, in the face of skyrocketing health insurance costs, medical care has become an increasing burden for faculty members in the past few years.
With this in mind, the district agreed to a one-time, $1800 contribution per fulltime equivalent position to the employee benefit pool for the coming year. For many years, the district had a basic HMO health plan that completely covered all costs for employees and their families. About 5 years ago, as health care premiums began to increase, the district requested faculty members pay $10 to $30 in each of 10 monthly paychecks for individual and/or family coverage. During the past school year, family coverage ran about $340 per paycheck. Assuming the overall district health insurance premiums remain the same next school year, faculty insurance premiums would be more than halvedreduced to $180 per paycheckthanks to the districts contribution. This is separate from the onetime bonus to be distributed this August. The districts contribution may not go as far as the faculty and district had hoped, Mr. Ward said. Because CUSD is currently in negotiations with insurance carriers, they are hoping these numbers can stay the same. But potential increases always loom.

Defining Claremont neighborhoods is easier said than done
rom 1968 to 2001, the wellloved Fred Rogers sang Wont you be my neighbor? on the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), lauding the benefits of a neighborhood. While most homeowners have their own idea of what a neighborhood entails, Claremont resident and psychologist Andrew Lohmann recognizes the discrepancies between what residents believe their neighborhood is, and how agencies like the US Census Bureau map them. Mr. Lohmann is launching a campaign to help close that gap. Our Neighborhood Mapping Project is an effort to more accurately represent the way researchers view communities, an endeavor underway in the city of Claremont with Mr. Lohmanns leadership. The eager Claremont resident and academic hopes his research will change maps and minds alike when it comes to studying a citys neighborhoods. Do you know the census block you live in? Do you know its boundaries? Mr. Lohmann queries on his campaign website. Probably not. Yet, researchers of neighborhoods often use these census areas to study them. If we want to understand neighborhoodswhat makes them tick...we need to get it right. Instead of using census blocks or school districts, Mr. Lohmann suggests using maps designed by residents themselves, an approach he developed during his graduate studies at Claremont Graduate University from 1997-2006. Our Neighborhood Mapping Project is a third and final set of surveys to help solidify Mr. Lohmanns findings. Being a cautious academic, I know full well that I cannot rely on just 2 data points, Mr. Lohmann said, thus embarking on his latest project by asking the Claremont community to help financially support what he notes as a revolutionary set of mapping. He conservatively estimates his costs at $3000, primarily funding the printing and postage of maps and community
COURIER photos/Cameron Barr Andrew Lohmann stands on the Indian Hill overpass and the 210 freeway on Monday afternoon in Claremont. Mr. Lohman conducted 2 surveys to see how the 210 freeway impacted families who live nearby, stating that he found less cohesion of neighborhoods near the freeway expansion. Mr. Lohmann is raising money through Kickstarter for a third survey to fund continued research.
surveys. Mr. Lohmann fostered a keen interest in neighborhood dynamics years before embarking on his latest, multi-year undertaking. The close-knit community of his south Claremont neighborhood fueled a deeper interest in community, further enhanced after surveying Claremont neighborhoods during his coursework and then dissertation at CGU. With the help of the city and other sources, Mr. Lohmann surveyed residents, providing city maps and asking neighbors to draw what they saw as their neighborhood. Mr. Lohmann found himself intrigued by the findings. One resident drew a circle on their home and another around the Claremont Colleges, but nothing else, Mr. Lohmann said. Another respondent in south Claremont had a big bubble in south Claremont and a thin strip that traveled up and around the Wilderness
trails. You can tell so much about what a persons interests are, what they do, just by these maps. The opening of the 210 freeway proved to be another pivotal launching point. It just so happened that Mr. Lohmanns first map survey was conducted 2 years before the launch of construction on the 210 freeway. When it came time for his dissertation, it was 2 years after the freeways completion. It was serendipitous, he said. As part of his dissertation, Mr. Lohmann conducted a second wave of research. He wanted to compare the sense of community polled during his last survey with a second round of surveys of the same community-drawn neighborhood maps. We have environmental impact studies, but we dont really have the mechanism by which to measure the social impact of these construction
projects and what we can do to make a neighborhood more cohesive, he said. He found that the sense of community diminished in neighborhoods near the 210 freeway, while all other areas in Claremont rose. The decrease took place even though there was no physical alteration or division in the neighborhoods caused by the 210 freeways structure. Its an open-ended question as to why, Mr. Lohmann said. He has his theories: Some say noise from the freeway. The decibel level when in a neighborhood next to a freeway is pretty much like trying to talk next to a vacuum cleaner. The only freeway neighborhood that saw a rising sense of community was a neighborhood near the strawberry patch, located at Base Line Road and Towne Avenue. Surprised by this inconsistency with the rest of the freeway neighborhoods, Mr. Lohmann conducted further research. He discovered that the strawberry field was a location where the city had been proposing a new set of housing, roughly 3 months before he conducted his second survey. The methodology picked it up, Mr. Lohmann speculates of the increased sense of community felt by this neighborhood. The residents in that area had banded together. Mr. Lohmann hopes to turn his speculations into certainties with the help of a new set of data. If he receives the needed funding, research is set to begin next month. The journey will be laborintensive, but its a commitment he fully embraces. It needs to be done, Mr. Lohmann said. We need to change the way we are studying neighborhood dynamics so it can be more accurate.

Another Claremont adventure: tripping on the light fantastic

by John Pixley
hen Cameron Munter grew up in Claremont, it was special. Indeed, it was magical. Claremont was a sun-dappled place where peace and all was possible.
This is what Mr. Munter remembers, as he shared in his commencement address at Pomona College 2 months ago. The career diplomat, who recently served as US Ambassador to Pakistan, a faraway place that cries out for the possibility of peace, waxed fondly about growing up in Claremont, saying that it prepared him well for a life of trying to make the world a better, more secure place. He spoke of spending hours playing in the street and then roaming around the college campuses. He remembered Claremont as a safe place to take off on a bicycle to explore and find what happens and what is possible. I also spent hours exploring the college campuses when I was growing up in Claremont, although I wasnt on a bicycle. This was after I went around an increasing number of blocks in my neighborhood in my first motorized wheelchair. After I ventured across Indian Hill Boulevard, the world of the colleges opened up to me, and all that stopped me, really, was how much juice was in my battery (more limited then). I would spend afternoons on the Scripps College campus, venturing down every path that didnt have steps and into every courtyard. I imaginedand still dothat in a few hundred years, the campus, with its jewel of a garden setting and its Mediterranean, Spanish and Moorish architecture, would be a 3-star at-
observer
traction in a guidebook, like a cathedral in a small, out-of-the-way town in Italy. Or maybe not so small and out-of-the-way. It could well be that all or most of the Claremont campuses will be a tourist destination of note for future generations. I also imagined this as I enjoyed tooling around Pomona College and the other colleges, getting up close to the monumental buildings. I dont explore the campuses as much as I used to (I am more engaged with what goes on in the buildings), but I have written about the stunning, worldclass Prometheus mural by Orozco in Frary Dining Hallquite a remarkable and lovely building itself at Pomona College. Last summer, I wrote about getting reacquainted with the renovated Greek Theater, as well as the Wash and the Farm, also at Pomona. Last summer, I made another discovery, again at Pomona College. Actually, I have heard about it for several years, but it was a year ago when I went with a group of friends and found out exactly where it is. I have since taken a couple friends. It is truly something magical. Dividing the Light literally does just that. It is a permanent light installationa light show always playingin the Draper Courtyard of the Lincoln
Building at the northwest corner of Sixth Street and Columbia Avenue, between Bridges Auditorium and Honnold Library. The artist, James Turrell, who attended Pomona College and is known for such work, calls it a Skyspace, and with it he uses light to gently, playfully ask us to think about how we see things. The Los Angeles Times called the piece, which debuted in 2007, one of the best works of public art in recent memory. It is that and much more. It is a trip. The installation consists of an atrium perched above a simple square reflecting pool, framing the sky. At timed intervals, the atrium is bathed in changing colored lights that also, in deep contrasts, dramatically change the color of the sky above. This effect is heightened at sunset, when the sky itself changes color as color leaves the sky. As the atrium is filled with blue, red and yellow, the sky goes from rose to green to teal to jet black and back again. It is a brilliant, breathtaking sightor sight trick magic, as I said, and mind-blowing. For those who like getting up earlyperhaps appealing on these hot daysI suspect the experience is at least as spectacular at sunrise, when color blooms and fills the sky. The college campuses are certainly more exciting when the students are around, with all that goes on during the school year, but there is much to explore when things are quiet in the summer. And, whether at dawn or in the cool of the evening, the Turrell Skyscape at Pomona College is a wonderful discovery, a refreshing, eye-opening treat.

The cost of water
Dear Editor: Should the city of Claremont purchase the local water utility? Many say yes, a few say no. When I buy something, the most important question I ask is: How much does it cost? The city is hiring consultants to help value the water company. I thought it would be interesting to do a few back of the envelope calculations. We know exactly how much the Golden State Waters parent company is worth. The stock is publicly traded and has a market capitalization of $777 million. According to the American States Water website they serve 256,000 customers. There are about 10,000 customers in Claremont. Doing the math, the Claremont portion of the water company is worth $30 million. How much more than this should we be willing to pay? I think I am being overcharged about $50 per month compared to the charges in other local areas. It depends on usage and the time of year. It will also depend on the operating efficiencies our city leadership can obtain compared to current operators. For this example, if I am willing to invest this premium to buy the water company, and I get a 30-year loan at 4 percent with a $50 per month payment, I can purchase about $10,000 worth of water company. Since there are 10,000 households in Claremont, that would value the water company at $100 million. So, if our city leadership, consultants and attorneys can get the water company for less than $30 million, I say yes, its a bargain for the citizens of Claremont. If the price comes back over $100 million, it is probably not worth the expense and trouble. If the price is between those numbers, we would be paying a premium, but it might be worth it. It is my hope that our city leadership will be skillful and determined in their negotiations and get the price under $30 million.

Fat free Claremont
Dear Editor: I am somewhat relieved that the city council did not ban smoking in Claremont. I have been smoking cigarettes for 50 years. I understand, perfectly, the health hazards of smoking. During those same 50 years of smoking, I also learned, perfectly, the political danger of allowing incremental change. The first small change has been made with approval of the no smoking resolution. I am deeply concerned by the councils decision to publicly post my habituation to cigarettes as unhealthy and socially unacceptable in Claremont. We all know cigarette smoking is unhealthy, and it has become increasingly socially unacceptable over the years. We should also know that it is no longer the number one killer in the United States, obesity is. I would be uncomfortable seeing signs prominently posted outside of restaurants within the city with the profile of a fat person, circled, with a red X through it, reading, Thank you for weighing in before being seated. If you are overweight, do not enter. The city of Claremont supports a fat-free environment. I am not fat, not even chubby. Such signs and city resolutions make no sense to me. Overweight individuals know they are overweight. They know all the accompanying health risks. They know they are providing a negative role model for young people, particularly if the overweight persons are in high profile positions. This is their state of being, their humanity. I see the impress of censure of my own humanity and personal freedom if signage were to be enacted, by the city, to publicly state the social unacceptability of being overweight. By the same token, members of the city council should understand that by publicly censuring my right to be who I am, they have taken a step toward restriction of their own personal freedom to be who they are. Before the argument is tendered, allow me to respond: secondhand smoke from cigarettes poses no health risks to others in an open area. I am a courteous smoker and never smoke in an enclosed area with non-smokers around. Recent studies indicate that the 210 freeway, built one block away from my home, constitutes a clear and present danger to not only my health, but also to the health of thousands who live within its proximity, including children at Chaparral Elementary School and those who come to the adjoining park for weekends of soccer and baseball games. Should the city council wish to continue its crusade to publicly state the obvious, perhaps signs all along the freeway should be posted in Claremont: Danger! This freeway emits toxins known to cause cancer, asthma and upper respiratory disease. The city of Claremont supports a healthy environment. That makes no sense to me either, but it may to the Claremont City Council. William Waters Claremont

Job creators
Dear Editor: If the uber rich are job creators, why does the unemployment rate remain well above 8 percent? Lets put some of those billions to work. Maybe the Koch brothers, et al, should be financing public works rather than financing Mitt Romney. Oh, I know! If Romney is elected hell make sure the billionaires will be able to not only keep their billions, but go on making more while he tries to figure out a way to create jobs by downsizing government including teachers, public safety personnel and government workerswhile cutting welfare, education, Planned Parenthood and other services. The only good idea Ive heard from Romney is the Massachusetts Health Care Program, which he is trying to make disappear! Since Obamas election it has been the goal of the Republican Party to make sure he was a one-term president, even before Obamney Care was coined. Their M.O. has been non-cooperation with Obama until the election; then and
Dear Editor: I was interested in the criticism of Douglas Lyon (Readers Comments, Wednesday, July 11). He labeled my article on Church and State of July 7, a screed" (e.g., a long, monotonous harangue). He suggested that my source, Americans for Separation of Church and State should change its name to Intolerant Americans for the Persecution of Christianity. I failed to explain that the organization is a nonprofit educational corporation dedicated to preserving the constitutional principle of church-state separation. For 65 years the organization has monitored federal and state rulings and activities and filed court briefs if it determined that they violated the First Amendment of the Constitution in endorsing or hindering a religion. He also wrote that the article evinced an astonishing ignorance of our own American history. Perhaps it would have helped him to know that as an ordained clergyman for 60 years, and also as an instructor at Mt. San Antonio College for 31 of those years, I have regularly been involved with tax exempt and public organizations in such matters. I have appreciated the fact that I need not worry whether any governmental agency does or does not approve of my religion. I also knew that I had no legal right (in the classroom) to advocate my religion to my public college students. Thats the American history of which he claimed I have no understanding. He doesnt realize how fortunate he has been.

Alice Trask
OBITUARIES
faith and trust in God. At the churchs 50th-anniversary celebration in April, Mrs. Trask was honored as a charter member. She loved her church. What a legacy! her daughter remarked. Following a 1963 divorce, Mrs. Trask raised her children as a single mother. In 1969, she decided to follow her lifelong dream to become a nurse and enrolled in Citrus Colleges licensed vocational nurse program. Upon graduation one year later, she began working for Dr. Gerald Rude in Claremont, where she became known by many as Nurse Alice over the approximately 16 years she was there. It was not uncommon for her to run into people years later who remembered her as Nurse Alice. In retirement, Mrs. Trask began studying genealogy, focusing on her Norwegian heritage. Through her research, she located some Norwegian cousins and, in 1984, traveled alone to Norway to meet them. This was one of her wonderful memories, said her daughter, noting that she maintained contact with her cousins until her death. One of Mrs. Trasks favorite activities was reading, so she was thrilled when offered a part-time job at a Claremont Village bookstore, remembered as Chapter One Books. She delighted in the many interesting people who patronized the store as well as the rare and outof-print books themselves. She was like a kid in candy storeso many books! said Ms. Free. Inheriting the interest and talent from her father, Mrs. Trask loved to bake cakes and cookies. Her specialty was carrot cake, for which she did everything by hand and from scratch. Family remembers that her cream cheese frosting was deliciousalways smooth, never lumpy. Christmas cookies were also a yearly tradition. She baked with so much love and care, the old-fashioned way, her daughter commented. Her Christmas cookies are a wonderful memory for anyone who knew her. It was almost unforgivable if she showed up during the holidays without her cookies. A dedicated volunteer at Pomona Valley Hospital, Mrs. Trask earned her 3000-hour pin for her service. Every Monday for more than 12 years, she volunteered in the surgery waiting room, getting there at 7 a.m. to make coffee and set up for the families who would be waiting for their loved ones. Even after she recovered from open-heart surgery, she returned to volunteering, serving as often as she could. Her love of the people, the medical field and nursing inspired those around her, commented her daughter. Mrs. Trask also adored animals, and every shopping list had bird seed on it. She kindly welcomed the stray cats and dogs that found their way to her home. If they didnt have anywhere soft and dry to stay for the night, they could find comfort on her patio, Ms. Free said. Most important to Mrs. Trask was her family. She often said how blessed she felt to be a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She loved all of us so much, unconditionally, said her daughter. I bet each of her grandchildren would say that she made them feel as if they were her favorite. She had so much love. Mrs. Trask is survived by her daughter and son-inlaw, Denise and Greg Free of Alta Loma; her son Jeffrey Trask of Claremont; her 6 grandchildren, Zachary Impastato and his wife Alanna, formerly of Guam and now residing in Westport, Washington, Aaron Impastato of Alta Loma, Jacob Impastato of the US Coast Guard stationed in San Diego, Kaysia Hildebrand and her husband Joe of Kodiak, Alaska, Stephanie Fiske and her husband Matt of Temecula and Jacqueline Burns and her husband Eric of Seattle, Washington; and her 9 great-grandchildren with one on the way. She was preceded in death by her brother, Alfred R. Ackerman of LaSalle, Illinois. A celebration of life was held on Sunday, July 8, 2012 at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church.
Good Shepherd Lutheran Church charter member, nurse, baker, volunteer

Longtime Claremont resident Alice Trask died on July 2, 2012 following a period of hospice care. She was 86. Born Alice Agnes Ackerman in Chicago, Illinois, Mrs. Trask often reminisced about riding the streetcars all around the Windy City in her youth. On snowy school days, shed hop a streetcar and head to class. Seated alphabetically in grammar school, with A.A.A. initials, she always occupied the front left desk. Mrs. Trasks father, Alfred, was born in Germany and came to the US at a young age when adopted by the Ackerman family. Her mother, Anna Therese Pedersen, was a Chicago native of Norwegian descent. Among Mrs. Trasks favorite childhood memories was waking up in her upstairs bedroom to the wonderful aromas of fresh pastries and coffee wafting up from her parents bakery below. The streetcar stopped right in front of their bakery, and people would jump off, run in, buy their pastry and coffee, run back out and off they went! shared Mrs. Trasks daughter, Denise Free. From a young age, Mrs. Trask was taken to the opera and loved to save her money to buy tickets to the old Chicago Opera House. In 1944, Mrs. Trask moved with her family to Alhambra when her father took a bakery job with Jurgensens in Pasadena. The next year, she met Andrew William Trask, the literal boy-next-door who had just returned from World War II. They married in May 1946 and moved to Adelanto where he pursued his teaching career. Having grown up in a metropolis, Adelanto was a new experience for Mrs. Trask, and she would tell tales of living in a small, desolate town with animals she had never seen before: checking her young daughters crib for scorpions and other desert creatures was a must. In 1953, Mrs. Trask and her husband and children moved to Claremont, paying $12,500 for their home. With nostalgic affection, her son and daughter remember playing kick-the-can and hide-and-seek in the orange groves. She loved living in Claremont and raising us here, said Ms. Free. In 1959, Mrs. Trask became part of a small group of families interested in having a Lutheran church in Claremont. After 3 years of filing paperwork, purchasing the land and completing a charter, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church became official on April 8, 1962. In the beginning, services were held at Sycamore and Condit elementary schools. Within the first year, many families joined the church and, as they say, said Mrs. Free, a church is only as strong as its foundation with
Mary C. Bennett
CGU administrative assistant, musician, traveler
Longtime Claremont resident Mary Carolyn Bennett died peacefully on July 11, 2012, surrounded by family. Born in Lakewood, Ohio on July 15, 1933, shortly thereafter Mrs. Bennett moved with her family to Bay Village, Ohio where she grew up. In 1951, she graduated from Bay Village High School followed by attending Denison University for one year. On July 12, 1952 she married Chittenden Chick Bennett in Bay Village, and they moved to Pasadena in December of the same year. They next moved to Claremont where they have resided for the past 52 years. For 29 years, Mrs. Bennett was an administrative assistant in the music department of Claremont Graduate University. She loved attending school and completed a bachelors degree in behavioral psychology at Cal Poly Pomona. Mrs. Bennetts passions were her family, friends, music, travel and reading. She was president of the Orange County Recorder Society, a member of the American Recorder Society and a founding member of the Claremont Early Music Ensemble. Her travels included 2 trips to Europe with the recorder ensemble, Aix in France and Sienna in Italy. Mrs. Bennett is survived by her husramp locations adjacent to Condit School are the first priorities to be completed in preparation for school resuming. Proposed housing development The Olson Company is currently in escrow to purchase a 1.75-acre vacant parcel located at the southwest corner of Vista Drive and Indian Hill Boulevard. The proposed development would include 22 detached, single-family homes and 4 units located above the proposed parking garages, for a total of 26 units. It is anticipated that 15 percent of the units (approximately 4) will be considered affordable housing,

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. Notice is hereby given that RECONTRUST COMPANY, N.A., as duly appointed trustee pursuant to the Deed of Trust executed by ROMEO B. BALANZA AND WENDY W. LI, dated 02/07/2007 and recorded 2/16/2007, as Instrument No. 20070337370, in Book -, Page , of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of Los Angeles County, State of California, will sell on 07/30/2012 at 11:00AM, By the fountain located at 400 Civic Center Plaza, Pomona, CA 91766 at public auction, to the highest bidder for cash or check as described below, payable in full at time of sale, all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust, in the property situated in said County and State and as more fully described in the above referenced Deed of Trust. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1396 FERGUS FALLS, CLAREMONT, CA, 91711. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. The total amount of the unpaid balance with interest thereon of the obligation secured by the property to be sold plus reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $1,053,565.59. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept cashier's checks drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state. Said sale will be made, in an ''AS IS'' condition, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust, advances thereunder, with interest as provided, and the unpaid principal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as provided in said Note, plus fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on a property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 1-800-281-8219 or visit this Internet Web site www.recontrustco.com, using the file number assigned to this case TS No. 12-0025569. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
