Even with the rain, business was brisk on Sunday at the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Gardens Grow
Native Nursery, featuring thousands of water-wise plants and scrubs. Sustainable Claremont and the
city of Claremont hosted a Low-Water Landscape Expo to help residents plan their water-wise gardens.
All this was part of the opening of the fall planting season. RSABG is located at 1500 N. College Ave.

Dear Editor:
If the voters of Claremont do not approve Measure PS, is there a plan B? I am
in support of a new police station, however, I do not believe that Claremont
should support a replacement that is five
times the size of the current station with
the accompanying hefty price tag of $50
million.
The new proposed police station is too
expensive, too ambitious, and it appears
that neither the colleges nor the businesses
will not be paying their fair share - that
Claremont residents will be stuck picking
up most of the tab.
I recently toured the current Claremont
Police station during the KGNH Street
Fair on September 19, and while it convinced me that a new station is definitely
needed, I also was convinced that the new
proposal exceeds the needs of our city.
Chief Cooper and his staff have done an
outstanding job of utilizing the space they
have, however, it seems unlikely that this
community needs a facility as large as the
one proposed. Claremont is largely builtout and I dont think anyone is expecting
a dramatic surge in population that would
warrant such a massive expansion.
I propose that we consider funding the
project through a commercial loan that
would require paying back the debt
through collected city taxes. If we consider this option, we might be looking at a
more acceptable, more modest proposal
that would still meet our publics needs.

Ghost Walk thanks
Dear Editor:
When spirits come together for a common goal, ghoul things happen! For the
third straight year, the Claremont Village
Ghost Walk has been a sell-out and success. But staging an event like this doesnt
happen without encouragement and support of others in our community.
Our thanks must first go to Joan Bunte,
who not only believes in ghosts but believes in our scout trooops ability to bring
together a family-friendly evening of
telling fortunes and leading a nighttime
event regaling guests with Claremonts
haunted history.
Additional thanks of support go to the
Village Marketing Group for sponsoring
and promoting the event and to Bert &
Rockys Cream Co. for selling tickets.
The talents of so many others make the
Village Ghost Walk possible. Our gratitude to storytellers Gina Capaldi, Michelle
Reinhardt, Chuck Ketter and London
Leones; guest docents Peter and Vicky
Raus and Brian DAmbrosia-Donner; fortune teller Maureen Reinig; the eerie
chamber music of Ernest Moreno and his
string and brass quartet; cinematic support
from Margaret Aichele at the dA Museum,
and from the Candlelight Pavilion; and
Claremont Village Ghost Walk web-designer Mindy Meader.
Lastly, for all of you who joined us this
year, thank you for coming out to share an
evening of ghostly yarns and good oldfashioned entertainment. For those who

A tree falls in Claremont
Dear Editor:
I was disappointed to read the caption
accompanying the photo on page 3 of the
October 2 edition of the COURIER, in
which it was stated that A replacement
tree is currently being selected by city
staff.
While the red ironbark eucalyptus tree
which had to be removed provided a
pleasant sight for many years, I believe the
open look remaining now that it is gone
is actually preferable, offering a splendid
and superior vista of city hall.
Hoping the city staff's considerations
regarding a replacement tree will include
the idea that the best idea may be no replacement at all.

Done with the Wilderness Park
Dear Editor:
As a longtime resident and business
owner in Claremont, I no longer go for
walks in the Wilderness Park.
Coming down or going up the mountain, I am saddened by the exhaust pollution from so many cars, the noise and the
traffic. I often hold my breath for as long as
I can so I dont breathe so much exhaust.
If I feel this way, how do the trees,
plants, insects, birds and animals feel? Do
they hold their breath as car exhaust travels up? Do they cover their ears from the
noise? Do they hide perpetually to gain security and peace?
What sort of stress and trauma are they
experiencing daily from dusk to dawn as
we invade their habitat in huge numbers?
Can they thrive, and not merely survive
and have shortened lives because we have
not left them any space and peace to live
their lives?
I see and feel the erosion on the mountain compared to 10 and 20 years ago. I
guess for my own peace of mind, I cannot
bear to see how we humans have taken
over the mountain and are destroying
what is not ours to destroy.
By not going there anymore, I will be
one body that relieves the stress on the
mountain, so the mountains natural inhabitants can live.
As an educated, open-minded and wellintentioned community, what would happen if we looked after and thought of the
wilderness park for its native life and put
our political agendas aside?
We started with vast oceans that people
thought were endless resources. We have
learned how limited all resources are.
Lets use that knowledge to reduce traffic
to the park before the park is destroyed.
Only in hindsight will we know when
the park has been destroyed by our carelessness.
Regardless of who is visiting the
wilderness park and where they reside,
how about if we make the natural life on
the mountain the priority and not ourselves?
I would to like to offer a suggestion that
Haiku submissions should reflect upon life

or events in Claremont. Please email entries
to editor@claremont-courier.com.

homes. They
will appear on
the television
series Vintage
Flip, which
was recently
picked up by
HGTV.
Claremont couple flips over reselling restored homes
laremonters Jessie and Tina Rodriguez are flipping their way to

the small screen with a new television show.
The Rodriguezes, who live and work in the City of
Trees, are in the middle of filming the first season of
their new reality show, Vintage Flip. Mr. and Ms. Rodriguez, who have been in the real estate business for
years, are overjoyed with the new opportunity.
The couple found a passion for house-flipping during the infamous 2008 recession, when Mr. Rodriguezs real estate company, Cal-American Homes,
worked with the banks to turn over foreclosed homes.
Conducting routine maintenance on the homes and
selling them for the banks inspired Mr. Rodriguez to
try it on his own, buying a house in Riverside on the
cheap in 2009.
We went in there, updated the carpet and put in
new kitchen cabinets and paint, and put it back up for
sale, Mr. Rodriguez said. We made a few thousand
dollars out if it and we kind of got the bug at that
point.
Over time, the number of homes Mr. and Ms. Rodriguez bought and flipped steadily rose, from only
two in 2009 to seven in 2010 to 23 in 2014. In 2015,
Cal-American Homes is on track to flip 37 houses,
according to Mr. Rodriguez.
This, of course, piqued the attention of HGTV, who
gave Mr. and Ms. Rodriguez a guest spot in an
episode of another house-flipping show, Flip or Flop.
The production company liked us and said, Do
you want to do a spin-off? And here we are on our
own show, Mr. Rodriguez said.

This is the view when walking in the front door of a home at 262 W. 12th St. The owners , Jessie and Tina Rodriguez, rehab older homes. And although they have a for-profit business, they also want to restore older homes
to keep neighborhoods strong.
Mr. and Ms. Rodriguez quickly filmed a pilot

episode for the network. The episode, which focused
on a sturdy Tudor home in Santa Ana, aired three
times in different time slots this past May, which allowed producers to see how well the show performed.
According to Mr. Rodriguez, the show averaged
around 700,000 viewers per showing.
About two weeks later, they called and said they

were picking us up for an eight-episode season. Mr.
Rodriguez said.
Now, Mr. and Ms. Rodriguez are deep in the throes
of filming. They are juggling five houses at the same

Freeman Allen honored by the League of Women Voters

The League of Women Voters of the
Claremont Area recently presented the
Ruth Ordway Award to Freeman Allen
of Sustainable Claremont. The Ruth Ordway Award is presented annually to a
local resident who has contributed outstanding service to the community.
Beginning in 1954, Mr. Allen spent
40 years teaching in the chemistry department at Pomona College, doing research and pursuing his passion for a
sustainable future. When he first arrived
in Claremont, he observed the hazy, discolored condition of the air. Air pollution became a central concern for him.
He became a member and later chair of
the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) Advisory Board
where he was involved in air testing and
drafting regulations to reduce pollution.

He served on air quality committees
and task forces for the California Air
Resources Board and the US Environmental Protection Agency. The area
continues to benefit from his work. He
became a member of the local League
of Women Voters and their Southern
California Environmental Action Committee (EnAct).
After his retirement in 1994, he
added water as a primary interest. He
joined in leading the local LWV Water
Task Force that produced the report,
Water Issues in the City of Claremont,
2005, and continues to advocate for a
publicly-owned water company for the
city.

Wednesday, September 30
According to Lieutenant Mike Ciszek,
an unidentified vandal slashed the tires
of three cars in the parking lot of the
United Church of Christ, located on the
200 block of Harrison Avenue. The incident occurred sometime between 7:30
p.m. and 9 p.m. while the owners were
inside having an Alcoholics Anonymous
meeting. It is currently unknown why the
tires were slashed, and the victims do not
think they were targeted for any specific
reason. Anyone with information on the
incident is urged to call the Claremont
Police Department at (909) 399-5411.
Thursday, October 1
Some people have to learn the hard
way, since most of us know to always
lock your car when away from it. Just
after midnight on the 500 block of West
San Jose Avenue, a thief broke into the
trunk of an unlocked black BMW, steal-
ing an audio speakerbox and a black amplifier. The thief also gained entry into
the cab and tried unsuccessfully to take
the radio. The value of the stolen items
topped $1400. No suspects have been
named or apprehended.

You know youve had too much to
drink when bouncers at the bar refuse to
even let you in. This is what happened to
38-year-old Joshua St. Martin of Encinitas in front of The Press on the 100 block
of Harvard Avenue. Mr. St. Martin was
enjoying a particularly wild night out in
the Village when he attempted to enter
the Press to continue his inebriated run.
The doorman refused, but Mr. St. Martin kept trying. Eventually, the doorman
called the police. After arriving, the police asked him how much he had to
drink. He replied, I dont know how
much Ive had to drink, but Ive had a

human behavior to sustain life on earth.
As Sustainability Director on the Local
League Board, he authored a chapter on
air quality in the 2007 League publication, A Sustainability Guide for Claremont Residents. He was on the task
force that developed the City of Claremonts Sustainability Plan and he became one of the founders of the local
nonprofit organization, Sustainable
Claremont. He served as co-president
and continues still as an active board
member.
One of his many contributions to the
communityand the regionwas developing the monthly Sustainability Dialogues in cooperation with Pomona
College. The 60th dialog just took

place, translating into a five-year record
of dedication, persistence and resourcefulness. Mr. Allen is also a co-founder
of the Claremont Home Energy Retrofit
Project (CHERP), which started as a
Sustainable Claremont Action Group
and promotes reduction of fossil fuel
energy use in local homes.
He worked to help Claremont take
second place in the Cool California
Competition, which rewarded cities for
their citizens reduction in energy use.
Mr. Allen is currently involved in the
Georgetown Energy Competition (locally the Claremont Energy Challenge)
which offers cities a reward for reducing energy use throughout the community.

statement was enough to convince officers to arrest Mr. St. Martin for public intoxication. He spent the night in the

Tacoma. Mr. Tinajero apparently made a

big show of his exit, driving up on lawns
and into oncoming traffic, according to
Lt. Ciszek. At one point, a gray truck
tried to block the path of the fleeing Camaro as its driver tried to speed away.
Claremont police officers eventually
caught up to Mr. Tinajero near the intersection of Moreno and Mills Avenues in
Montclair, where it was determined he
was under the influence of alcohol. Mr.
Tinajero was arrested and booked at
CPD jail on suspicion of a DUI causing
injury.

An unidentified burglar attempted to
break into the Western Dental office on
the 700 block of Indian Hill Boulevard
early Sunday morning. At approximately
2:32 a.m., someone used an unknown

into the dental office. A burglary alarm
then went off, which apparently scared
the suspect(s) into fleeing the premises.
No property was reported stolen, and the
suspect remains at large.

Matthew Bramlett
EDUCATION
Harvey Mudd professor brings magic touch to math
ath is many things to

many people: a
chore, a nightmare, a
useful tool, a satisfying challenge.
For Harvey Mudd professor Arthur
Benjamin, however, its something far
more enchanting. He sees math as an
endlessly surprising and elegant pursuit, and he wants you to see it the
same way.
He will go to any length to spread
the gospel of numbers, performing
lighting-fast mental calculations, cracking jokes and solving seemingly unrelated equations in which he guesses
each audience members answer, regardless of the digits, because they are
all the same.
He dazzles classrooms and crowds as
well as digital audiences. More than
seven million people have tuned in to
Mr. Benjamins 2005 TED talk, A performance of Mathemagic.
Last month, he released a book
called The Magic of Math: Solving
for x and Figuring out Why.
Im happy to say people like it so
far, Mr. Benjamin said.
The book includes equations that can
be seen as parlor tricks or epiphanies,
depending on your mindset, as well as
explorations of areas of math that are a
virtual playground for mathematicians.
These include things like Fibonacci
numbers and numerals like 9, which
sound quite ordinary, but have remarkable properties.
If math is taught right, its beautiful,
its fun, its magical. Thats what Ive
tried to write about in the book, Mr.
Benjamin said. With all the emphasis
on testing these days and the focus on a
smaller body of material, what often
gets cut out are the fun topics.
The Magic of Math is aimed at a
pretty wide demographic.
My target audience for this book is
anyone who will someday need to take
a math course, is currently taking a
math course, or is finished taking math
courses, Mr. Benjamin writes in the
introduction. I want this book to be
enjoyed by everyone, from math-phobics to math-lovers.
Clearly, Mr. Benjamin falls in the latter category. He fell in love with mathematics as well as the art of
sleight-of-hand early on. Done well, he
says, both pursuits engender a sense of
wonder. A magician wants the audience to go Ooh! and Ah! A mathematician wants the audience to say
Cool! and Why?
Mr. Benjamin, who grew up in Ohio,
has enjoyed playing with numbers for
as long as he can remember. In fourth
grade, he came across a book by Martin
Gardner, a longtime contributor to Scientific American and author of some
200 books, many on the subject of
recreational math. He was entranced.
He was the original mathemagician, Mr. Benjamin said. He has
probably influenced more mathemati-

Claremont resident and Harvey Mudd professor Art Benjamins new book The Magic of Math has become the number-one
best-seller in its category on Amazon.
cians than anyone else in the 21st century.

Mr. Gardner would one day write a
positive review for Mr. Benjamins
2006 book Secrets of Mental Math,
calling it The clearest, simplest, most
entertaining, and best book yet on the
art of calculating in your head.
Secrets of Mental Math has the endorsement of the reading public, having
sold more than 200,000 copies. Still,
getting the stamp of approval from Mr.
Gardner represents one of the penultimate moments of Mr. Benjamins career.
Hes been an idol and mentor of mine.
It was a dream come true that Martin
would review and enjoy my book.
Life wasnt all equations for Mr.
Benjamin. As a hyperactive kid who

liked to show off, he found an interest
in magic. In high school, he performed
magic shows at kids birthday parties
under the moniker The Great Benjamini.
As he began doing shows for older
crowds, his dad suggested he show off
his calculating prowess, putting some
math problems into the show. He got a
positive reaction and things took off
from there.
In 1989, Mr. Benjamin moved to
California to teach at Harvey Mudd
College. He is currently teaching a
class on probability and another on the
mathematics of games and puzzles. The
knowledge he imparts has myriad reallife applications, including calculating
the optimal strategy for a game of black
jack.
My course does not endorse gambling, but if you do gamble, you may as
well be smart about it, he says.
If youre an ambitious magician,
theres one place you gravitate tothe
elite Los Angeles venue The Magic
Castle. Mr. Benjamin auditioned there,
earned a spot and has performed there
every year since. In fact, he and his
wife Deena were married at The Magic
Castle in 1993. The couple has two
daughters, Laurel, 16, and Ariel, 13,
who attends El Roble.
During a recent interview, Mr. Benjamin took a moment to impress the
COURIER with some of his mental
machinations. He asked for a random
birthdayJuly 17, 1974and determined in seconds that the date fell on a
Wednesday. It checked out.
Things have changed a lot at

Harvey Mudd since Mr. Benjamin first began to teach
there. When he started, the
ratio of men to women was
more than three to oneit
was something like pi to one,
he said.
The girls used to have an
expression when it came to
finding a guy: The odds are
good, but the goods are odd,
he joked.
Today, the student body at Harvey
Mudd is almost 50 percent female and
even the schools president, Maria
Klawe, is a woman. The student body
is also more ethnically diverse as more
students heed the call for an increased
emphasis on STEM, subjects like science, technology, engineering and
math.
There is a place for those who master
them.
We import a lot of people from
other countries to fill our STEM jobs,
and these are high-paying jobs, Mr.
Benjamin said.
He believes its time for math-phobes
to drop their baggage and embrace the
opportunities, and his books are a great
start.
If you can show how math can
apply to the real world, and that it can
be simple and beautiful, the lightbulb
goes off, he said. Seeing why something works is a great feeling.

Standing on historic ground
n September 11, I had the privilege of standing at a podium in

the Fullerton Auditorium of the
Art Institute of Chicago on the 122nd anniversary of the very day and in the very
place where Swami Vivekananda made
his famous greeting at the first Parliament of the Worlds Religions. Many historians claim this event launched the
modern Interreligious Movement.
Sisters and brothers of America, the
Swami began, and with those words, the
handsome monk in the orange robes as he
soon became known, was welcomed with
an ovation that lasted several minutes.
The occasion was the annual conference
of the Foundation on Integrating Spirituality and Organizational Leadership. The
organizers and most of the participants
were from India. I was asked to speak on
the influence of their hero, Swami
Vivekananda on this first Parliament of
the Worlds Religions, held in conjunction
with the Columbian Exposition, and the
subsequent development of the Interrelgious Movement.
I began my presentation by defining a
revolution as an activity or a movement
that effects fundamental changes in human
society. I went on to say that in my judgement, this is an accurate description of
what began in this room and what is accelerating throughout the world today.
by Wlliam E. Lesher
Inter-Faithfully SPEAKING
The first Parliament in 1893 set in motion a major reshaping of the religious pilgrimage of humankind, and Swami
Vivekananda is a key mover. For the 17
days of the Parliament, in daily lectures
and conversions, the Swami taught the
Gospel of tolerance, inclusivity and
equality of all the world's religious and
spiritual traditions. Speaking about his
Hindu belief, the Swami said, We believe not only in universal toleration, but
we accept all religions as true.
Today, most historians agree that the
Parliament of 1893 did give birth to the
modern Interreligious Movement. Further, it was a catalyst to the development
of the academic study of comparative religions and, thanks to the presence and
eloquence of Swami Vivekananda, the
perception of eastern religions was
changed in the minds of many. The first
Parliament just happened to be a 100
years ahead of its time.
Fast forward to 1993. A Centennial
Parliament Celebration was held, again in
Chicago, where 8,000 people came from
80 religious traditions and from all corners of the world. The Dalai Lama came.
Joseph Cardinal Bernadine, the interfaith-
minded Archbishop of the city threw his

full weight behind the event. The Swiss
theologian Hans Kung with input from
religious leaders around the world, prepared a document called A Global
Ethic, which was an initial attempt to
spell out what the religions could say together about the ethical life.
The document has been signed by
thousands of people, translated into many
languages and circulated around the
world. It was obvious that by 1993, interreligious engagement was an idea
whose time had come.
Three International Parliament events
have followed at five-year intervals.
In Cape Town, South Africa in 1999,
the end of Apartheid was celebrated and
Nelson Mandela announced, I would
not be here tonight if it were not for the
religions of Africa and the world that
kept my memory alive for the 27 years of
my imprisonment.
In Barcelona in 2004, the first Parliament after a wave of terrorist attacks in
the US and Europe, participants agreed
that the minimal interrelgious commitment we have to each other is to protect
one another from abuse, slander and vi-
olence of any kind and to support each

other when it does happen.
In Melbourne, Australia in 2009, the
religions reflected with secular leaders on
a wide range of issues facing the human
community today. The press took notice
and for the first time reported extensively
on Parliament proceedings.
Now, a fifth Parliament will convene in
Salt Lake City on October 15. Hundreds
of people are registered from California,
26 from our area. A group organized
through the Claremont Interfaith Council
will present a workshop entitled, Inland
Valley Interfaith Network: Many Faiths,
Many Interfaith Groups, One Community. The workshop will trace the evolution of interfaith involvement in our
area from a host of independent interfaith service groups into a growing community of caring partnerships.
On September 11 at the Art Institute of
Chicago, I had the strong sense that I
was standing on historic ground at the site
of the first Parliament.
I anticipate that all who attend the sixth
Parliament in Salt Lake City will have a
keen sense of history as well, as each
Parliament is a concrete expression of
the interrelgious revolution that is fundamentally changing the way the religions
of the world relate to one another.
Ghoulish garage sale

by Debbie Carini
never met a garage sale I didnt like

I once stopped at one on my way to a
friends wedding in Hollywood and
bought a vanity for my daughters bedroom. I had to valet park with said piece
of 1930s vintage furniture half-hanging
out of the back of our SUV, ala the Beverly Hillbillies.
A couple of weeks ago, I was quite excited to look out
my front window and see a bunch of cars parked on the
street. It could only mean one thing: garage sale! My mom
arrived for our daily morning walk and we eagerly set out
to see if someone elses unwanted stuff could be some-
thing that one of us might actually need, and hopefully it

would cost less than a dollar.
At first sight, I thought my neighbors were selling a
tanning bed. On its way to the appliance bone-yard, I
supposed to myselflike the bread-making machine I
only ever made one loaf of bread in (the loaf was more
like a brick, so I might have been better off storing that
small electronic in the garage next to a bag of cement), or
the deep fryer I mistakenly thought would make health-
ier fried foods but only ended up making my house smell

like MacDonalds, which in turn led me to pull out my
also near-useless electronic shake-maker.
As we drew nearer, the item came into chilling focus
it was a coffin. A real, this-is-going-to-cost-most-of-themoney-you-get-from-the-life-insurance-policy coffin. It
was stately gray with silver trim and, hopefully, gentlyused.
There is almost nothing that makes you consider your
mortality more than the sight of a coffin. I started thinking about the ham, egg and cheese sandwich Id just consumed for breakfast. Probably should start cutting back
on the carbs and cholesterol, I reflected. When youre 56
years old, youve got to figure that more than half of your
life is behind you and unless there are going to be some
dramatic advances in sciencelike kale suddenly tastes
like candythe truth is, one of these boxes is somewhere
nearer than farther in your future.
And then I started thinking, who is the customer for
this? I looked around. I did not see Barnabas Collins or
Count Dracula, or even Count Chocula for that matter.
Is this even legal? I said to my mom, who also seemed
to be in deep contemplation over the mysteries of life.
Later that day, as I continued to mull the incongruity
of seeing funeral furniture sold next to used bikes and
empty frames, my daughter reminded me that those same
neighbors had long-ago staged lavish haunted houses for
Halloween on their property, so that was probablyhopefullythe source of the casket.
Several days passed, and my husband and I were on an
evening stroll when we saw our neighbor still packing
away the detritus of the yard sale. I prodded my better half
to inquire about the final-resting-place box. Oh, we sold
it for $150, the homeowner said. The people are going
to use it as a Halloween decoration!
So, heres your fair warning: as you happily trick-ortreat your way through the neighborhood later this month,
just remember...theres a coffin out there that just got a
new lease on life.
The Colleges big footprint

Dear Editor:
In his article supporting building the
Pomona College Museum of Art where
Renwick House now is, John Pixley mistakenly says that the Colleges didnt dig
in their heels and use clout and leverage in the fight to build the Keck Graduate Institute on the Bernard Field
Station. That lasted four years, from
1997 when the land planning process
began until the settlement in 2001 of the
lawsuit brought by the Friends of the
Bernard Biological Field Station.
The Colleges used everything in their
power to get city approval for KGI to be
built on the field station, and they succeeded. It was only when opponents
gathered the thousands of signatures
needed to call for a referendum on that
approval that the Colleges withdrew their
plan. That the Colleges failed was not
due to a lack of effort on their part but
because the enormous opposition from
individuals of the community and the
Colleges lasted long enough to put funding for KGI in jeopardy.
The Keck Graduate Institute is doing
very well at its current location, so well
in fact that it is asking permission for
new buildings. I would suggest that, like
KGI, the museum would do just as well
in the alternative location suggested by
those who would like to preserve some
distinction between residential and institutional parts of the city.
And as for not digging in their heels,
rather than acknowledge the Bernard
Field Station for the irreplaceable resource that it is, the Colleges changed
their rules to allow existing institutions
to buy parts of it. Now all but the center
Temporarily Restricted Property have
been sold to Harvey Mudd College,
Scripps College, Claremont Graduate
University and Pitzer College (see
fbbfs.org for a map). The only college
expressing any intention of preserving
their part of this natural laboratory for
continued teaching and research is Pitzer.
READERS COMMENTS
Claremont University Consortium announced in 2011 that the Temporarily

Restricted Property would be permanently preserved upon the sale of the
eastern portion of the BFS, but so far this
promise has not been kept.
While the Colleges are an important
part of Claremont, their desire to increase
their footprint and prestige is sometimes
in opposition to the good of the community, and even to their own longterm
good.
Mr. Pixley says the Colleges have a lot
invested in the community and asks
Would they really mess it up? The answer is yes, sometimes they would.

Claremont
A rational city planning process

Dear Editor:
As Claremonters prepare to vote on
Measure PS to adopt the council-recommended funding ordinance for a new
public safety facility, we can all be highly
confident in the thorough, professional
planning and decision-making that has
occurred over many years in developing
the best plan.
We write based on our combined career experience as a professional architect and a professional civil engineer.
Together we have accrued over 60 years
of experience in the successful planning,
programming, financing, design and
construction of major built facilities,
much of that for public agencies in California and other states.
We can attest that the city process for
and the outcomes of the advance planning of the needed public safety facility
are rational, reliable and convincing. Voters can rely on the validity and the value
to Claremont of adopting Measure PS, a
special parcel tax for our new facility.
The need for a new public safety facility for Claremont has been discussed,
analyzed and debated in the public forum

for the last 14 years. The planning
process has been thorough, transparent
and professional in every aspect. Over
more than 10 years commencing in
2002, several police commission studies
had been formulated and presented to the
public.
In 2012, the Mayors Ad Hoc Police
Facility Feasibility & Site Analysis
Committee was created to consolidate all
of this information into a valid strategy
for implementing the funding and construction of a new police facility.
In order to learn from and be informed
by prior discussions within the community, the mayors committee studied the
eight separate previous city council discussions of the deficient condition, the
significant inadequacies and the untenable
future of the 570 W. Bonita facilities.
Based on nine months of researching
previous studies, needs assessments and
site analyses generated by professional
architectural and engineering firms, the
mayors committee submitted a comprehensive 53-page report that concluded
with three key findings and recommendations. Based on the report and on comments by the public, the city council
voted unanimously on March 10, 2015
to place a ballot measure on the November 3 city election asking Claremont voters to approve a special parcel tax to fund
a new public safety facility.
To ensure that findings of the mayors
committee report of September 2013 remained relevant and valid, the report recommended that the city immediately
engage professional architectural, engineering and geotechnical consultants to
prepare a construction project plan and
cost forecast sufficient for the city council to identify a final project budget and
seek voter approval at the next public
election.
During the city councils annual prior-
ities workshop on February 7, 2015, the

public safety facility need was brought
forward for public debate and inclusion
in the citys 2015 priority action items.
After further review and public discussion, the city council decided unanimously that it was time to place the
adoption of a special parcel tax to fund
the new safety facility on the next public
election ballot.
The councils decision was carefully
analyzed by the city finance director,
who prepared an analysis comparing the
costs and benefits of the parcel tax and
the general obligation bond methods.
The primary reason a parcel tax was selected is the fact that law enforcement
services provide an equal benefit to all
categories of property owners in Claremont, including residents, for-profit business, not-for-profit organizations and
educational institutions such as the
Claremont Colleges.
It is our professional judgment that
voting for Measure PS is supported by
overwhelming, real, rational and professional judgments. Combined with convincing support at a variety of Claremont
public venues and multiple unanimous
votes of several city councils, our community has all the evidence needed to approve Measure PS on November 3. We
look forward to your support at the polls.

Thomas Ambrogi
OBITUARIES
Social justice activist, man of faith

A beloved and admired priestly pilgrim, Thomas E. Ambrogi died peacefully on September 12, 2015 after a long
illness at his home at Pilgrim Place in
Claremont, surrounded by his wife
Donna, family and friends. He was 85.
He had been an active Jesuit priest
until the age of 39, when he resigned his
ecclesiastical ministry. Together withhis
lawyer wife, he became a global servant
of peace and justice causes.
He was born in Philadelphia on January 11, 1930, the third in a family of five
children, with grandparents from Ireland
and Italy.He entered the Jesuit Novitiate
in Wernersville, Pennsylvania in 1947,
beginning a 15-year course of studies
leading to ordination.His father had died
of a heart attack when Tom was 16, and
his mother of breast cancer two years
later.He looked back to those early encounters with death as among the most
formative experiences of his life.
He earned a Master of Arts in classics
from Fordham University, followed by a
three-year stint teaching classical languages at Georgetown University.In the
summer of 1957, he was sent by his
order to the University of Innsbruck in
Austria for four years of Jesuit theology
studies.There his major professor and
mentor was Karl Rahner, leading
Catholic theologian and later advisor at
Vatican II.
In 1960, Tom was ordained a priest. In
the next five years he briefly served as a
chaplain to the US military in
Europe,taught philosophy at Georgetown, led an Operation Crossroads
Africawork camp in the Ivory Coast
and completedhis doctoral dissertation
in ecumenical studies, focusing on the
Lutheran Church Missouri Synod.In
1965, he received a Doctor of Religious
Science degree from the University of
Strasbourg in France.
He then became professor of theology
and ecumenical studies at Woodstock
College in Maryland. At a 1966 conference at the University of Notre Dame
where he served as translator for Karl
Rahner, he met Donna Myers, a lay

woman teaching at Alma College, the
Jesuit School of Theology in Los Gatos,
Californiaperhaps the first woman
ever to teach at a Jesuit seminary.
Mr. Ambrogis difficult decision to
leave his ecclesiastical ministry came
after three years of service as a Roman
Catholic member of official national dialogues between Catholic and Lutheran
and Catholic and Anglican theologians
seeking Christian unity. At a dialogue
meeting in San Francisco, he again met
Ms. Myers, then in ecumenical campus
ministry at Stanford.
In 1969, the couple was married in
Palo Alto by Barbara Troxell, a
Methodist minister who remains a dear
friend and neighbor at Pilgrim Place.Mr.
Ambrogi taught for eight years in religious studies at University of the Pacific
in Stockton, California.During a sabbatical semester in Jerusalem in 1973, the
Ambrogis experienced firsthand the
Yom Kippur war, which sharpened their
understanding of Israeli-Palestinian justice issues.
After Donna graduated from Stanford
Law School in 1977, the couple lived in
San Francisco where Tom moved into
leadership of various justice and peace
organizations.In 1980 he became direc-
tor of the Commission on Social Justice

for the Archdiocese of San Francisco,
where he played a major role in the formulation of the US Catholic bishops national pastoral letter, The Challenge of
Peace.
Mr. Ambrogi leda small delegation to
El Salvador, successfully obtaining the
release of a prominent political prisoner.
San Francisco Mayor Diane Feinstein
appointed Mr. Ambrogi to the citys
Human Relations Committee.He also
helped organize church support for the
nuclear freeze movement in California,
and was fired by the Archbishop for supporting publication of a report on LGBT
rights in the Archdiocese.
In 1985-86, Mr. Ambrogi founded the
National Sanctuary Defense Fund, raising funds for the legal defense of church
workers indicted for assisting Central
American refugees entering the United
States.He then spent a challenging year
as interim dean of the Chapel at Stanford.From 1987 until 1990, he focused
on hunger issues as director of the Institute for Food and Development Policy
(Food First).For over 10 years, he and
Donna hosted a monthly gathering of social activists for deep personal sharing.
Tom served four times as interim regional director for the American Friends
Service Committee in different areas of
the United States.During 1993 and
1994the intense period surrounding
the election of Nelson MandelaMr.
and Mrs. Ambrogi volunteered in antiapartheid programs in Cape Town,
South Africa. This was a major experience of their lives, supported by contributions from friends and a Fulbright
grant for Donna.
In 1996 the Ambrogis moved to Pilgrim Place in Claremont, an intentional
community of 350 elders who had
worked for religious or humanitarian organizations.It became their beloved
community.Mr. Ambrogi continued his
priestly pastoral ministry as a volunteer
chaplain at Pilgrim Places Health Services Center.He also actively promoted
the Jubilee 2000 movement to cancel the

debts of the worlds most impoverished
nations,marched often against the war
in Iraq and went on a speaking tour to
schools and churches to bring the
troops home now.He served several
years on the Board of Progressive Christians Uniting in Southern California.
After attending the World Council of
Churches Assembly in 2006 in Brazil,
Tom and Donna visited Argentina and
Paraguay.While there he was bitten by a
poisonous insect and developed a lifethreatening infection that kept him
bedridden for most of a year.Weakened
but with a strong spirit of activism, Mr.
Ambrogi continued support of peace and
justice causes through All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena and in the Claremont area. In 2014, at the age of 84, Mr.
Ambrogi published his book, Seeking
Good Work: Memoirs of a Priestly
Pilgrim.
His mantra around Pilgrim Place was
always, Its going to be all right! A
meaningful and happy chore for Tom
during many annual Pilgrim Place Festivals was to stamp a red OK on the
hands of little participants in Glue-in art
projects. He then told the youngsters, addressing them by name, You are OK,
and dont ever let anyone say you are
not! He called these his liturgical
blessings.As Tom was dying, a Glue-in
leader stamped his hands with the red
OK.
He is survived by his wife of 46 years,
Donna Ambrogi, and by his extended
family and many dear friends.
A memorial service for Mr. Ambrogi
will be held on Saturday, October 31 at 3
p.m. in Decker Hall at Pilgrim Place, located at 665 Avery Road in Claremont.

James Elliott Maynard
OBITUARIES
Schoolteacher, dance enthusiast

James Maynard, a longtime Claremont resident, died of kidney failure on
September 21, 2015 with his loving
daughter by his side. He was 87 years
old.
He was born on May 24, 1928 in
Elmira, New York to Helen and Kingsley Maynard, MD. Growing up, Jim
loved the outdoors and enjoyed any
athletic activity including skiing, hiking, bicycling and, most especially,
swimming and canoeing at his familys
cabin on Ondawa Lake in Pennsylvania.
For most of his youth, it was just Jim
and his brother Robert, who was two
years older. That changed when he
turned 15 and his younger sister
Dorothy was born. In high school, he
was on the yearbook staff and played
softball and varsity footballthe team
won only one game his senior year,
which was also the only game in which
they scored any points! He graduated
high school in 1946, missing the draft
for World War II by seven days.
Mr. Maynard attended Elmira College then transferred to Carlton College
in Minnesota, where he received a degree in education in 1950. At Carlton
he was a cheerleader, discovered dance,
was involved in the choir and drama
and was on the ski team, including ski
jumping. For those of you who remember Wide World of Sports and the
shows opening with the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, the
agony of defeat was a poor ski jumper
falling off the bottom of the ski jump
Williams College in Illinois, receiving a

masters degree in group work education and exploring the teachings of
Edgar Casey, a Christian mystic and
psychic.
He went to Watertown, New York to
work for the Presbyterian Church and
there met Ruth Walker, whom he married in 1960. The couple moved to Ashland, Wisconsin where Mr. Maynard
taught religion for two years at Northland College and they welcomed their
daughter Sharon. From Ashland, the
Maynards moved to Claremont for Jim
to pursue a degree in religion. They remained in Claremont until 2011 when
they moved to Oregon to be closer to
Sharon.
Mr. Maynard taught elementary
school in Pomona for 28 years, teaching first sixth and then the fourth
grades. He loved music and was passionate about dance. He was in a performing folk dance group in the 1970s
ramp and smashing to the ground; Jim
had a similar experience, but it didnt
slow him down much.
After college, Mr. Maynard worked
for a church as a youth activities director before being drafted for the Korean
War in 1953 just as the war was ending.
He was assigned to the US Counter Intelligence Corp in Korea, where he
learned to pick locks and drink alcohol
without getting drunk. He continued to
pursue his education after being discharged in 1955, attending George
and taught folk dance from 1963 until

he moved to Oregon. Each fall, Jim
took his school class to perform folk
dance at the Los Angeles County Fair
in Pomona, the largest county fair in the
United States. When he retired from
teaching school, he continued to teach
dance at the local senior center and
took his senior students to the LA
County Fair to perform.
For many years, Mr. Maynard was
the director of the liturgical dance choir
at the Claremont Methodist Church
where he had been a member since
moving to Claremont. Jim was a very
kind man who had a great sense of
humor, particularly about himself. He
was a talented writer and told a great
story. He will be deeply missed.
He is survived by his wife Ruth
Maynard, daughter Sharon Maynard
(Larry Smith), sister Dorothy Maynard,
grand-dogs Reilly and Fiona and grandhorse Hermiston.

Harry Edwin Williams Jr.
OBITUARIES
Dedicated engineer and professor, beach-lover

Harry Edwin Williams Jr., a longtime
Harvey Mudd professor, died suddenly
at Pomona Valley Hospital on September 23, 2015 of complications from a
stroke. He was 85.
He was born in Pasadena on March
11, 1930 to Elizabeth Dylan Williams
from Palmer, Massachusetts and Harry
Edwin Williams Sr. from New York
City. Harry Jr. grew up in Pasadena in
the house they built on Winston Avenue
and spent weekends and summers in
the Cape Cod-style cottage they built
on Balboa Island. As teenagers, he and
his brother David Williams loved sailing and racing their Albatross 28
around Newport Beach.
He attended Cathedral High School
in Los Angeles and received his degree
in mathematical engineering from
Santa Clara University in 1951. Mr.
Williams was an avid athlete, and was
passionate about swimming and soccer.
He played soccer in college and at Caltech, where he went on to earn his masters degree in 1952 and then a PhD in
1956.
He met Jane Helen Johnson, the love
of his life, at Caltech and they were
married in Pasadena in 1955. Jane was
from Seattle, Washington. In 1956 he
received a Fulbright Fellowship and
spent a year at the University of Manchester, England where they lived until
1957. Mrs. Williams became pregnant
and returned to California while Harry
drove his brand-new original Volkswagen Bug from Germany to California
via New York, where he and his father
drove across the country together.
Mr. Williams joined Harvey Mudd
College in 1960 as a professor with Jet
Propulsion Laboratory colleague Jack
Alford. Initially he was in the physics
department, but he helped to build the
engineering department and taught
there for 40 years. In addition to teaching he was a regular contributor to the
top journals in applied mechanics, pub-
lishing numerous articles over the

years. He also worked as a consultant
and researcher for the US Navy, JPL,
General Dynamics, Aerojet and Boeing
Aerospace.
Mr. Williams fell in love with England in 1956 and returned many times
during his life, including two years he
spent there with his family on sabbati-
cal. This amazing opportunity provided

an invaluable experience for his family.
Just when he was embracing retirement, Harry lost his wife Jane in 1999
to cancer. Sadly, Harry suffered another
great loss in 2013 with the death his
youngest daughter Devon Jane Bishop.
Mr. Williams retired in 2000 but remained an active part of the Harvey
Mudd College community as a professor emeritus, maintaining an office and
continuing to publish collaborative
works. To quote John Molinder, Needless to say, [Harrys] faculty colleagues
and generations of students have benefited greatly from his insistence on and
example of excellence.
Mr. Williams was a true scholar and
never stopped pursuing things that interested him. He loved his life at Harvey Mudd College, brainstorming with
his colleagues and enjoying riding his
bicycle there every day to have lunch
and a swim with his friends until the
very end.
Harry cherished his many lifelong
friendships, which he valued greatly
until he died, each one holding a spe-
cial place in his heart. His greatest

pleasure was to spend time with his
family, especially if it involved the
beach. He was a dedicated, generous
and loving father and grandfather. He
was a constant guiding light in all their
lives and his presence will be sorely
missed.
He is survived by his daughters,
Robin Williams and her husband
Christopher Rooke, Kim Williams Littlefield and her husband Les Littlefield,
and Bryn Williams Caisse and her husband Eric Caisse. He also leaves Devon
Williams Bishops husband John
Bishop and granddaughters Austyn
Elizabeth Caisse, Hannah Jane Caisse,
Hayden Kathryn Rooke, Fiona Rose
Bishop and Ivy Elizabeth Bishop.
A service will be held on Saturday,
October 24 at 11 a.m. at Balch Hall at
Scripps College, located at 1030 Columbia Ave. in Claremont. A reception
will follow, held across the street at the
McAlister Center.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can
be made to the City of Hope or Doctors
Without Borders.
Dayle Marie Littlefield

Accomplished pianist, lover of art
Dayle Littlefield, a longtime Claremont resident, lost her battle with cancer on September 25, 2015.
She graduated from UC Riverside
with a degree in music. She was an accomplished pianist who performed all
over the world as well as locally at
venues like the Big Bear Inn and various concerts in the park. Ms. Littlefield, who at one point taught music at
local schools, loved classical music.
Among Dayles memorabilia is a CD
recording of herself playing Rachmaninoffs complex, lyrical and melancholy
Concerto No. 2 on a grand piano.
When she had time, Ms. Littlefield

loved to visit the mountains, with Big
Bear being one of her favorite spots.
Whether in Big Bear or Mammoth, she
loved to ski. She was a teacher, an
artist, a lover of animals and a successful businesswoman.
Dayle will greatly missed by those
who knew and loved her. She will always have a special place in our
hearts, friends shared.
She is survived by her son Derek of
Claremont and her brother Eric Olson.
Memorial services will be private.

OBITUARIES
Distinguished veteran, HAM radio enthusiast

Herbert Herb Charles Macy, a
longtime Claremont resident, died on
Tuesday, September 29, 2015 at his
home in Prescott, Arizona after a long
battle with COPD. He was 90.
He was born on August 12, 1925 in
Lynnville, Iowa to Dole Sylvester Macy
and Lydia Ethel Renaud, who died
shortly after his birth. Dole was remarried to Hazel Norris, a professor and
colleague at Penn Central College.
Herb was raised by his grandparents,
William and Hettie Almeda Macy,
along with his great-aunts, Doles sisters
Vera, Aletha and Ruth. Veras daughters
Macy Jane and Jane were closer to siblings than first cousins. He grew up attending the Lynnville Iowa Friends
Church and Sunday school and Lynnville Elementary, graduating from Lynnville High School on May 12, 1943.
He enlisted in the US Army Air
Corps on July 10, 1943 and was called
to active duty on January 15, 1944.
After basic training at Jefferson Barracks, Missouri, he attended radio
school at Scott Field, Illinois and gunnery school at Fort Myers, Florida. He
was put with a crew at Lincoln, Nebraska and then assigned to Remote
Terminal Unit training with a crew at
Clovis, New Mexico.
Staff Sergeant Herbert Charles Macy
was deployed in May 1945 as part of a
B-29 replacement crew and spent seven
months overseas. He participated in 22
missions that included strategic strikes
against Japanese mainland targets and
mining of the Shimonoseki Straits, two
prisoner-of-war missions and two
search missions for a downed B-29. Notably and historically, he participated in
the over-flight of the USS Missouri battleship in Tokyo Bay during the signing
of the Japanese surrender on September
2, 1945. He was 20 years old.

Sgt. Macy was awarded a Distinguished Flying Cross, an Air Medal
with two bronze oak leaf clusters and an
Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Ribbon with
two battle stars, one for the air offensive
of Japan and one for service on the
Eastern Mandates, better known as the
Marshall Islands. He returned stateside
on November 29, 1945 and was discharged at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas
on January 29, 1946. He was a member
of 20th Air Force, 9th Bomb Group,
313th Wing and 99th Squadron based
on Tinian Island in the Marianas. He
maintained a lifelong connection with
members of this group.
After serving in the military, Mr.
Macy graduated from University of
Iowa on December 20, 1950 with a
Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering. He obtained continuing education credits in Lean Six Sigma at
George Washington University. He married his first wife, Joan Marie Holm, on
August 13, 1950 in Oskaloosa, Iowa.

She put him through college and they
had two children, Lynne and Brian.
After Joans tragic passing from cancer
in 1989, Herb married Mary Lee Bovee
on July 28, 1990 in California.
Mr. Macy was an engineer at General
Dynamics in Pomona for 30 years and
spent his working life in Claremont. He
was very good at keeping his defense
work secret. In later years, the family
learned that he worked on the development of the Redeye man-portable surface-to-air missile system that used
infrared homing to track its target.
Herb loved radios from the time he
was a small boy and built one of his
first radios by hand. His hobby was fixing things, including old cars and radios. As a HAM operator (W6VJA), he
learned Morse code and used it all of his
life. In Claremont, a tall tower and a
transmitter the size of a small suitcase
kept him in contact with Australia and
other faraway places while his kids listened in on many a CQ, CQ call. Mr.
Macy continued to attend roll calls and
listen to his shortwave radios into his
last years.
Herb was well known for the twinkle in his eyes, sneaky smile and unique
sense of humor, his family shared. We
are grateful for his long life and the time

we spent with him.
He is survived by his wife, Mary Lee
Bovee Macy of Prescott, Arizona; his
daughter and son-in-law, Lynne and
Christopher Olson of Ellsworth, Wisconsin; his son and daughter-in-law,
Brian and Marilyn Macy of Santa Ynez,
California; and his grandchildren,
Megan Slovyan, Erin Eakes, Braden
Macy, Macy Olson and Tyler Olson. He
also leaves his great-grandson Tyler
Slovyan; nieces and nephews Macy
Jane and Warren Jontz of Newton,
Iowa, Jane and Doug Finch of Lincoln,
California and Jody (Jontz) McCoy of
Minnetonka, Minnesota as well as his
special friend and high school classmate
John Andrew Gertsma. Herb was preceded in death by his first wife Joan
Marie Macy on December 7, 1989.
A Time of Remembrance and the interment for Herbert will be held on Saturday, October 10 at 11 a.m. at the
Lynnville Friends Cemetery, followed
by lunch and a period of fellowship at
the Lynville Friends Church. In lieu of
flowers, memorials have been designated in Herbs name; the Pence-Reese
Funeral Home in Newton has been entrusted with the arrangements.

VINTAGE FLIP/continued from page 3
Echo Park, Monrovia and a cute craftsman bungalow

right in the heart of the Claremont Village.
The house, located on Twelfth Street and built in
1912, epitomizes the concept of a fixer-upper,
which has proven to be a challenge for Mr. and Ms.
Rodriguez.
When you walked inside the house, it smelled like
everyone had potty-trained their child in that house,
Ms. Rodriguez said. It just smelled like urine and
smokeits almost unbelievable that people had
lived there. There was a rat that had been dead in the
kitchen so long that it had become the color of the
linoleum, we found a family of opossums that had
been in the attic and had died there. So just the smell
was disgusting.
Whats more, the home was almost completely covered in shrubbery, blocking any view of the house
from the street. Broken-down cars, motorcycles and
even a boat were strewn about the back and side yards.
But making dilapidated old homes beautiful again is
what the Rodriguezes do best. They shaved the front
shrubbery, towed the cars away (Mr. Rodriguez decided to keep a couple of the motorcycles) and completely gutted the inside of the house. The couple must
strike a balance, keeping the majesty of the homes
original era while updating the residence for todays
families, something the couple takes very seriously.
The architecture of each home is so unique, and
COURIERphoto/Peter Weinberger
Jessie Rodriguez explains some of the plans for the back yard at a Twelfth Street home he and his wife Tina
are rehabbing for a new television series featuring the couple.
were trying to keep to the heritage of that, Ms. Rodriguez said. So were doing tons of research on
whether its a Spanish colonial or a Craftsman and
trying to make sure that were honoring the style of
the home, while trying to make it a little bit modern
as well.
The house is an empty shell as of press time, but
when its completed by November 15, it will be a
beautiful Craftsman charmer, complete with an updated kitchen, a brand-new and roomier master suite
and a gray-blue outside paint job that will perfectly
complement the neighborhood.
Mr. Rodriguez estimates that the finished house
could sell for somewhere in the high $800,000s.
When one factors in the initial cost of the home
(around the high $400,000s, according to Mr. Rodriguez) and roughly $150,000 in remodeling put into
it, the couple is standing to make a hefty profit.
Although theyre flipping homes across southern
California for the show, Mr. and Ms. Rodriguez have

a deep love for Claremont. They hope to feature the
city as often as they can during the first season and,
hopefully, in subsequent seasons.
The city is so important to us, Mr. Rodriguez
said. Were so in love with this crazy little community we live in, and I think its cool that if we can get
two or three or four seasons out of this show, every
episode will start out in Claremont, California.
The City of Trees also holds a particularly sentimental place in the couples heart.
We had our first date in the Village in 2000, Ms.
Rodriguez added. We got Starbucks and we walked
through all the pretty houses, and now were able to
give back to the community where we fell in love and
its really cool.
Vintage Flip is set to air on HGTV in mid-April
2016.

SPORTS
What better way to illustrate the anatomy

of a goal than by
showing how star
CHS water polo player
Bruno Snow scored a
goal against Bonita
Tuesday?
First, he must try to
get an open position
near the front of the
net. What the spectator will see is a lot of
churning water between Snow and his
defender. We really
dont want to know
what goes on under
the water.
Once the pass is

received, with the
same motion he
catches and
throws at the goal.
Going,
going,
gone...
he Claremont High
School water polo
team had an easy win
over Bonita on Tuesday, 186. After getting off to a commanding lead in the first half
of the game, the Wolfpack
continued to put constant
pressure on the Bearcats no
matter who was in the pool.
Top scorers included Bruno Snow

and Mat Turk with four goals each.
CHS goalie Kellen Grant was
clearly a presence with seven saves.
Claremont (3-5) played at Ayala in
Chino Hills Thursday. Look for results of that match in next weeks
sports round-up.
Peter Weinberger
Once the goal is in

the net, theres no
time to celebrate as
Snow must quickly
return to defense.
Claremont went on
to beat Bonita 18-6
after getting off to a
big lead. Bruno
Snow went on to
score four goals.

Claremont dentist gives homeless winning smiles
o many people, a great smile goes

a long way. To Claremont's homeless population, it means a lot
more.
This is the ethos behind the dental program established by the Claremont Homeless Advocacy Program (CHAP). Starting earlier this year, the nonprofit
advocacy group partnered with local dentist Dr. Harry
Brown to fix the teeth of a select number of homeless
people in town.
[The program] provides a pathway for these people to really get back to feeling like theyre caring for
themselves and in good health, Dr. Brown said.
Most of these people have had a lot of health issues
only because they have fallen off the grid a little bit.
The goal of the program is to give homeless Claremonters the opportunity to receive dental care they
otherwise couldnt afford. One patient, who only gave
his first name of Charles, discussed the difficulties of
getting his teeth fixed while homeless and living in
his car behind the Doubletree Hotel.
went to a local dental place and

it was $495 a quadrant and $500
just to look at it, Charles said.
So [Dr. Brown] is a king in my book.
Dr. Brown, who serves as a dental consultant for
Casa Colina and Mt. San Antonio Gardens, is no
stranger to helping out the underprivileged. He
worked with the homeless at the Foothill Family
Shelter and even opened a dental clinic in Senegal.
When it comes to humanitarian work, CHAP found
the right guy.
In all, nine men have been through Dr. Brown's office to receive dental treatment, with procedures ranging from a simple cleaning to being fitted for
dentures. The pro-bono work conducted by Dr.
Brown and his staff has totaled $24,000 so far.
Our youngest client was 30, Dr. Brown said. He
had broken-off stubs of his front teeth. Imagine being
30 years old and having two little black broken stubs
for front teeth. So now he has white front teeth and he
can smile a bit. It makes a huge difference.
One patient, Paul Atchley, had a brand-new bridge
put in after years of not having any front teeth. He
says the new procedures changed him for the better.
I wasn't as open and friendly, and I didn't smile as
normally as I would, Mr. Atchley said. So it's kind
of like it altered my character, how I reacted to people.
Another patient, who elected to only give his first
name of Martin, had to get full dentures from Dr.
Browns office. He talked to the COURIER about the
kindness the dentist and his staff have shown him and
others stuck in his situation.
He's a great guy. He's a pleasure to be around,
Martin said. He take the stress out of going to a dentist, because dentists just have that air about them. He
puts you at easethe stress leaves.
According to CHAP volunteer Marjorie Heady, the
dental program is planning on expanding its reach,
enlisting more dentists and oral surgeons in the Claremont area to work on the citys most struggling population.
But the ultimate plan, according to Dr. Brown, is to
get to a point where the homeless patients dont need
extensive dental care.
The idea is to get all these people healthy so once
they get reinstated into their general life, theyre not
going to need us anymore, Dr. Brown said. The
idea would be to have a zero homeless population.
But the next best thing is to keep it a manageable size
and to take care of our own and to help

these people reintegrate.
Dr. Browns patients are deeply appreciative of what he has done for them, including Martin.
He just can't stand any taller in my
book, he said. He's been giving me
what I've been looking for for a long time.
I can't tell you how grateful I am.

Pomonas Millikan Lab dedication a smashing success
hen most new

buildings are
opened, the
event is marked by an official ceremony with dignitaries and other important
people from around the
community. Check-passings or ribbon-cuttings are
a common sight during
such gatherings.
But the folks at Pomona College
wanted to do something unique for
the launch of the Millikan Laboratory on Saturday during the colleges Founders Day celebration.
Since the building has a strong
math and physics emphasis, why
not show a standing-room audience
how to splitor crushan atom?
And that's exactly what Pomona
president David Oxtoby did.
Students and staff set up a largerthan-life model hung by ropes and
connected to two bowling balls
working together to make the open
house at Millikan a really special
event. To see a video of the atom
smash, visit www.claremontcourier.com.

Padua Hills Art Fiesta to feature

Millard Sheets film
The Claremont Museum of Art will host the 12th

with an outdoor art show, art and craft demonstrations, music and more.
The recently-produced film Design for Modern
Living: Millard Sheets and the Claremont Art
Community 1935-1975 will be shown throughout
the day and an exhibition will feature paintings by
one of Californias most recognized artists, Millard
Sheets. More information is available at www.claremontmuseum.org.
Some local residents still recall the popular Padua
Hills Art Fiesta held through the 1950s. Since 2011,
the Claremont Museum of Art has continued the tradition, with area artists showing their work under the
shady olive trees of the beautifully restored Padua
Hills Theatre.
The event runs Sunday, November 1 from 11a.m.
to 4 p.m. at the Padua Hills Theatre, 4467 Padua Ave.,

horses inspired the artwork of Padua Hills artist Millard Sheets from the 1940 to the 1960s.
The documentary film Design for Modern Living
will be shown throughout the day.
ARTstART students will lead children in creative
art activities and a music stage will feature local performers. Festive foods will be served with traditional
Jamaica punch and fresh lemonade.
First held in 1953, the Padua Hills Art Fiesta was
organized by local artists to bring art into the community. The studio art movement that flourished here in
the 1950s centered on the use of natural materials and
traditional sensibilitieswatercolor, pottery, woodworking, sculpture in stone, bronze and ceramic, mosaic and textiles as well as painting. Visitors came
from miles around to meet the artists and watch art
in action at the popular festival.
Claremont Kiwanis installs new

officers, directors
The Kiwanis Club of Claremont celebrated the
92nd installation of officers and directors last week at
an awards dinner.
Leading the club this year as president is Patricia
Henny. Officers are Jim Wylie, secretary; Mike Ro-

driguez, treasurer; president-elect Sue Keith; first vice

president Fulton Eaglin; and immediate past president
Dennis Bauman.
Directors are Tom Andersen, Mike Conley, Roger
Martin, Marty Moreno, Penny Myrdal and Barbara
Rugeley. The Club Member of the Year Award was
presented to Penny Myrdal for her leadership of the
Route 66 major fundraising event.
The primary focus of the club is to serve the children of the community by working with the Claremont Unified School District to continue projects
such as the Read Me program and to provide high
school scholarships and Best Bet grants in partnership
with the Claremont Chamber of Commerce. Kiwanis
also works in conjunction with nonprofit organizations like Shoes that Fit, the Special Olympics and the
Claremont Educational Foundation.
Partnering with the city of Claremont, the club
helps to present the annual summer concerts in the
park by organizing and staffing for eight weeks the
concession booth that pays for the bands.
Additionally, the club assists with the annual July
Fourth Community Celebration by holding a pancake
breakfast, and in the evening opening a concession
booth at the Fireworks Show.
Senior citizens are assisted by club members helping with the monthly food distribution, and by providing funds for the annual Senior Prom and the
Meals on Wheels program.
The Kiwanis Club of Claremont invites residents
interested in serving the community to visit weekly
meetings held every Thursday at noon at St. Ambrose
Church Fellowship Hall, 830 W. Bonita Ave. For

Department of the Treasurer
and Tax Collector
Notice of Divided Publication
Pursuant to Sections 3702, 3381, and
3382, Revenue and Taxation Code (R&TC), the
Notice of Sale of Tax Defaulted Property Subject
to the Power of Sale in and for the County of Los
Angeles, State of California has been divided and
distributed to various newspapers of general circulation published in said County for publication of a
portion thereof, in each of the said newspapers.
Public Auction Notice Of Sale
Of Tax-Defaulted Property Subject
To The Tax Collector's Power to Sell
(Sale No. 2015A)
Whereas, on July 21, 2015, I, JOSEPH KELLY, Treasurer and Tax Collector, was directed by the Board of
Supervisors of Los Angeles County, State of California,
to sell at public auction certain tax-defaulted properties
which are subject to the Tax Collector's power to sell.
Public notice is hereby given that unless said properties
are redeemed prior thereto, I will, on Monday, October
19, 2015, and Tuesday, October 20, 2015, at the hour of
9:00 a.m. at the Fairplex Los Angeles County Fairgrounds, 1101 W. McKinley Avenue, Building 6,
Pomona, California, offer for sale and sell said properties at public auction to the highest bidder for cash or
cashier's check in lawful money of the United States for
not less than the minimum bid. If no bids are received
on a parcel, it will be re-offered at the end of the public
auction at a reduced minimum bid.
The minimum bid for each parcel is the total amount
necessary to redeem, plus costs, as required by Section 3698.5 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.
Any unimproved properties that are not sold at the end
of the public auction on
October 20, 2015, or redeemed prior to 5:00 p.m. (PT)
December 4, 2015, I will re-offer for sale beginning
Monday, December 7, 2015, at 10:00 a.m. (PT)
through Wednesday,
December 9, 2015, at 12:00 p.m. (PT) at online auction at
www.bid4assets.com/losangeles.
Prospective bidders should obtain detailed information of Sale No. 2015A from the County Treasurer and
Tax Collector. Pre-registration and a $5,000 deposit in
the form of cash, cashier's check or bank issued money
order is required at the time of registration. The TTC
will not accept personal checks, two-party checks or
business checks for registration. Registration will be
from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., beginning Monday, September 14, 2015, at the Treasurer and Tax Collector's
Office located at 225 North Hill Street, Room 130, Los
Angeles, California, and will end Friday, October 2,
2015, at 5:00 p.m.
Pursuant to R&TC Section 3692.3, the TTC sells
all property ``as is`` and the County and its employees are not liable for any known or unknown
conditions of the property, including, but not limited
to, errors in the assessor's records pertaining to improvement of the property.
If the property is sold, parties of interest, as defined by
R&TC Section 4675, have a right to file a claim with the
County for any proceeds from the sale, which are in excess of the liens and costs required to be paid from the
proceeds. If there are any excess proceeds, the TTC will
send notice to the parties of interest, pursuant to law.
All information concerning redemption, provided
the right to redeem has not previously been terminated, will upon request be furnished by JOSEPH
KELLY, Treasurer and Tax Collector.
According to law, if the property is not redeemed by the
close of business on the last business day prior to the
date of the auction, Friday October 16, 2015, at 5:00
p.m., the property will be offered for sale. If the property is not sold at the public auction, the right of redemption will revive and remain until Friday, December
4, 2015, at 5:00 p.m. If the property is not redeemed by
Friday, December 4, 2015, at 5:00 p.m., it will be scheduled for the follow-up online auction as indicated above.
The Assessor's Identification Number (AIN) in this publication refers to the Assessor's map book, the map page,
and the individual parcel number on the map page. If a
change in the AIN occurred, both prior and current AINs
are shown. An explanation of the parcel numbering system and the maps referred to are available from the Office of the Assessor located at 500 West Temple Street,

on this property lien, you should understand that there
are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You

property. You should also be aware that the lien being
auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible
for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned
off, before you can receive clear title to the property.
You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this
property by contacting the county recorder's office or a
title insurance company, either of which may charge
you a fee for this information. If you consult either of
these resources, you should be aware that the same
Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of
Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The

The recent sale of our Claremont home presented some very

unique challenges. Carlos and Pat handled my former home
as if it were their own. They kept me informed,
responded with professionalism and reassurance, and made
sure that as their customers, my ex-husband and I were their
top priority. The house ended up selling for higher than
asking price. I recommend Carlos and Pat Samuelson with
complete confidence and a heart full of gratitude.
