Snow day Mt. Baldy and the village can be seen dusted in white after a fast-moving weather system dropped six inches of
snow early Tuesday morning. Another storm is due Friday, which has the potential to drop even more snow in
elevations above 4500 feet. Claremont will have rain all day Friday and into Saturday, with few breaks during the
day. Highs will be in the 50s, with lows around 40. But by Monday, all will be normal again with partly cloudy
skies and a high of 70 degrees.

Commercial burglaries up, residential burglaries down
C
laremont crime in 2017
was steady compared
to the year before, ac-
cording to a newly-released re-
port.
The report, presented to the city coun-
cil on Tuesday, details the number of
part 1 crimes—which includes murder,
rape, car theft, residential and commer-
cial burglary, robbery, assault and
arson—committed within the City of
Trees.
Overall in 2017, there was a one per-
cent decrease in part 1 crimes through-
out the city—1,018 in 2017 compared to
1,029 in 2016.
There were no murders in 2017, the
same as 2016; nine rapes in 2017 com-
pared to eight in 2016; 30 robberies
compared to 29 in 2016; 35 assaults
compared to 28 in 2016; 279 burglaries
compared to 290 in last year; 593 thefts
compared to 607 in 2016; 67 auto thefts
compared to 63 in 2016; and five arsons
in 2017, one less than in 2016.
These numbers include both the Col-
leges and the city. When looking at the
Residents perplexed by insurance soliciation letter endorsed by city
A
letter from Claremont Mayor
Larry Schroeder extolling the
benefits of an insurance service
has left Claremont residents confused.
The letter, from SLWA Insurance Serv-
ices, offers Claremont homeowners op-
tional coverage in the event a breakage or
bursting of the home’s lateral water line.
The property owner is responsible for the
line, the letter noted, and would be covered
for a small fee if they signed up for the
service.
But it was an endorsement from Mr.
Schroeder and the presentation of the
mailer as a city letter that left Claremon-
ters scratching their heads.
Mr. Schroeder, reached after Tuesday
night’s city council meeting, said he did-
n’t personally sign the letter, and was out
of the country when the mailer was sent
out to residents.
“What I didn’t know is my name would
be on that letter,” he said. “I did not sign
that letter; it was a facsimile signature.”
The three-year agreement with SLWA
was reached back in June 2017. It au-
thorized the company to use the city’s logo
on letterheads, marketing materials, ad-
vertising and billing to residents, accord-
ing to the agreement. The agreement also
allowed SLWA to use the signature of a
“city official” in their letters as well.
“They didn’t specify who they would
use, so naturally they picked me,” Mr.
Schroeder said.
The agreement allows SLWA to conduct
up to three campaigns per year, comprised
of up to six different mailings. The lan-
guage of the letter claims that “no public
funds” were used for the mailing of the let-
ter, and at the bottom of the letter claims
SLWA is “an independent company sep-
arate from the city of Claremont.”
But the letter also came in an envelope
with only the city’s logo on the top left cor-
ner and no mention of SLWA Insurance
city numbers only, burglaries are actu-
ally up by two percent, with 255 in 2017
up from 251 in 2016. Reported burgla-
ries were down in the Colleges by 15
percent, from 39 incidences in 2016 to
24 last year.
Breaking it down further, the holding
pattern seems to come from the uptick in
commercial burglaries—111 in 2017
versus 92 in 2016—coupled with the
downturn in residential burglaries—168
in 2017 compared to 198 in 2016.

Many Claremont residents expressed alarm after receiving a solicitation for
water line insurance that came in an envelope with the city of Claremont’s logo
and appeared to be endorsed by Mayor Larry Schroeder.
Services on either side, adding to the con-
fusion.
City spokesperson Bevin Handel noted
she did not know how the city’s logo was
going to be presented, or how SLWA got
hold of Mr. Schroeder’s signature.
The city passed an ordinance in 2017 to
copyright the city logo. Mr. Schroeder said
the city let SLWA use the logo because it
would “legitimize their offer.”
This was a claim corroborated by
Myles Meehan, an SLWA spokesperson.
“The SLWA partnership agreement
with Claremont allows the company to use
the city logo in communications to indi-
cate that there is a formal relationship in
place and to let residents know that the of-
fering is legitimate,” Mr. Meehan said in
an email. “It is for the residents’ benefit and
has the approval of the city.”
The text of the letter, which was framed
Chart courtesy of Claremont Police Department
as written by Mr. Schroeder, was actual-
ly crafted by SLWA and several city offi-
cials, including former City Manager
Tony Ramos, Ms. Handel, Assistant City
Manager Colin Tudor and the communi-
ty services department.
Mr. Meehan said the mailer was ap-
proved by the city before it was sent out,
a claim corroborated by Mr. Schroeder and
Ms. Handel.
“We said they could use a city official
and we could review [the letter], and we
did review it, but I guess there’s nothing
that would force them to take our sug-
gestions,” Mr. Schroeder said.
Ms. Handel explained that the city and
SLWA went through roughly four versions
of the letter before it was sent out, adding
that only about two-thirds of the city’s
changes made it into the letter.
She also said more than 400 cities
Claremont COURIER/Friday, March 2, 2018 3
across America have the same partnership,
and use city partnerships as a way to bet-
ter get the word out to residents.
Mr. Schroeder wasn’t happy with his
signature being used, and expressed a per-
sonal opinion that a city official’s name
should not be used in a mailer like this one.
“In retrospect, it really made it look like
I was selling this product,” he said.
But he stood by the service itself,
claiming it would be a good option for
Claremont homeowners looking to safe-
guard themselves in the event of a lateral
pipe burst.
“To avoid the cost of possibly replacing
the laterals, we offered this insurance,” Mr.
Schroeder said.
Language in the agreement hold the city
and its elected officials “harmless” from
any third party claims, damages, losses, ex-
penses, suits, actions, decrees, judgments,
or any other act as a result of a breach of
the agreement by SLWA or a “fraudulent
act or omission” by the company in the per-
formance of services.
Mr. Schroder said the city received no
revenue or benefit from the agreement and
city staff was in contact with SLWA to
make sure they could review the letters go-
ing forward.
Ms. Handel said the city had an issue
with how the letter was presented, saying
they would not allow the mayor’s signa-
ture to be used in the future.
“We expressed clearly our displeasure
with how it’s presented and that’s very mis-
leading and confusing,” she said.
Mr. Schroeder said it was a “lesson
learned” and the city has to now be more
specific on how they authorize city mate-
rials from now on.
“Next time around, we just need to be
more careful with this stuff and have more
control over what goes out,” he said.

were reported in the final months of
2017, the chief said.
The police department recorded an 11
percent increase in auto burglaries in
2017, at 98 incidences. Chief Vander
Veen said this was in part due to the in-
crease of break-ins at the Evey Canyon
turnout, which has become a popular
destination for hikers.
The chief noted there were 31 burgla-
ries in Evey Canyon in 2017, compared
to just six in 2016. While about 16 per-
cent of burglaries at the turnout result in
arrest, the perpetrators don’t stay in jail
for long, due to early release programs
and jail overcrowding.
Chief Vander Veen told a story of a
woman who was just arrested Tuesday
after being previously caught stealing
from Evey Canyon cars a week ago.
“This person pled guilty in her first
court appearance, was sentenced to one
year in county jail, was released 15 days
later and within a week was committing
more auto burglaries in Evey Canyon,”
she said.
Councilmember Joe Lyons asked the
chief if a surveillance camera could be
installed to curb crimes in Evey Canyon.
The chief noted that shading in the area
has caused some difficulties with solar-
powered surveillance cameras, but the
situation is being evaluated.
There were 90 thefts overall from un-

have been affected by the outages.
The outages are due to vault construction
on Second Street, which has closed down
the roadway between Indian Hill Boulevard
and Yale Avenue, causing headaches for res-
idents and business owners.
“If Edison knew the work was going to
take longer than planned, they should
have had a representative in the Village to
speak with business owners,” Ms. Aldridge
said. “Instead, we had to ask the work crew,
who were quite rude and very unin-
formed.”
Councilmember Sam Pedroza also ex-
pressed his frustration, stating that busi-
nesses were hurt and the city needs to work
with Edison to prevent this from happen-

Councilmember Corey Calaycay said the
Village Market, which is at the epicenter
of the construction, was not provided a gen-
erator by Edison because of their size.
“If they were a supermarket, they
would have accommodated them, but be-
cause they are a small market they were
on their own,” he said.
The council also approved the city’s

Commissions review city policy on back houses

allow two-story ADUs due to privacy

A
change in regulation is
coming to a ubiquitous
presence in the city—
back houses.
A new state law meant to spur devel-
opment of accessory dwelling units (ADUs
for short) has left the city scrambling on
how to adapt to the new regulations.
ADUs are better known by the terms
“back houses” or “granny flats.”
The three bills—SB 1069, AB 2299 and
AB 2406—were signed by Governor Jer-
ry Brown in September 2016 as a way to
alleviate the current housing crisis by eas-
ing restrictions on back house laws and
jumpstarting development. The bills took
effect on January 1, 2017.
Claremont has the option of adhering to
the state law, or passing its own ordinance.
Under the state law, cities have local con-
trol over the permitted sites for back house
construction, the back house size and
number of bedrooms, the number of units
per lot, parking, height restrictions, setbacks
and lot coverage, owner occupancy, ar-
chitectural review and landscaping.
The new state laws differ significantly
from the Claremont codes, according to As-
sistant Planner Nikola Hlady, who presented
the information to a study session at a joint
planning/architectural commission study
session last week.
For instance, the state law has a maxi-
mum back house size of 1,200 square feet,
compared to 700 square feet in the Clare-
mont codes. The city presented a sliding
scale of back house square footage com-
pared to the size of a property—the own-
er of a 5,000 square foot lot size could build
a 700 square foot back house, while the
owner of a 20,000 square foot lot could
build a 1,200 square foot back house.
A number of commissioners at last
Tuesday’s meeting wanted to maintain the
700 square foot size in Claremont.

The city of Claremont is considering changes to local regulations covering the
construction of back houses or second units on single family housing lots in re-
sponse to recent state laws aimed at creating additional housing in California.
“That’s a pretty big house,” planning
commissioner Leigh Anne Jones said of a
1,200 square foot back house. “That’s no
longer in my mind an accessory dwelling
unit. That’s another house.”
Some commissioners, such as Parker
Emerson, floated the idea of restricting bed-
rooms in back houses to regulate size and
the amount of back houses in one lot.
One public commenter, however,
brought up ADA compliance in regards to
house size, noting that 700 square feet was
too small for a disabled person to use.
Another issue facing the city is parking.
Current Claremont laws require one park-
ing spot, covered or uncovered, per back
house. State law notes that parking spots
may not be required for back houses with-
in a half mile of transit centers, within ar-
chitecturally historic districts or within a
block of a rideshare car.
Mr. Hlady explained that much of the
Village could qualify under the state’s def-
initions. The problem is that the state
laws could conflict with Claremont’s ex-
isting overnight street parking restrictions,
as car-owning back house residents who
don’t have a parking spot may be forced to
park in the street.
The possibility of easing overnight
parking restrictions did not sit well with
some commission members. During pub-
lic comment, Karen Rosenthal implored the
city to keep them.
“Do not change that,” she said. “There
will be a lot of dead bodies you’ll have to
go over if you’ll change the overnight park-
ing ordinance.”
Other parts of the new state law that were
discussed were the possibility of second-
story back houses built above garages. The
committee agreed that Claremont would not
concerns for neighbors.
The topic of JADUs—junior accessory
dwelling units—was also considered.
These smaller versions of back houses, with
a 500 square foot maximum and no re-
quired parking, were floated as a possible
addition to the ordinance. But architectur-
al commissioner Maureen Wheeler cau-
tioned against them.
“One of the reasons is they’re allowed
to not have a bathroom, and I think that’s
very awkward,” she said.
Commission members also discussed
driveway entries, remarking that more
back houses will mean larger driveways.
Richard Rosenbluth stressed that a prop-
erty’s yard appearance should be taken into
consideration and preserved as much as
possible.
Architectural Commission Chair Mark
Schoeman noted that the entire point of the
new law was to get more housing, and was
in favor of the sliding square-foot scale pre-
sented by the city.
The decision was made for a subcom-
mittee to be created to tackle the compli-
cated issue until a new ordinance is placed
in front of the Claremont city council for
approval. At Wednesday night’s architec-
tural commission meeting, Mr. Schoeman,
Ms. Wheeler and Waen Messner were cho-
sen to be on the committee.
Resident Rachel Forester remarked that
there was one voice largely missing from
the fray—the voice of the tenants.
She felt the “spirit of the state legislature
was not being adhered to” in the discussion.
“It’s not that I don’t feel that the rights
of property owners and neighbors are im-
portant. I do think those are important,” Ms.
Forester said. “I feel that they will be well
represented in the final ordinance, and the
needs of the future tenants are being left out
of the conversation.”

Casa Colina honors patients at annual Tribute to Courage Gala

Casa Colina’s annual Tribute to Courage gala will be
held Saturday, March 10 at the Sheraton Fairplex Hotel
and Conference Center, 601 W. McKinley Ave.,
Pomona.
The gala, hosted by actress, producer and comedian
Bonnie Hunt, honors some of Casa Colina’s present and
past courageous patients. The Tribute to Courage black-
tie-optional reception begins at 5:30 p.m., followed by
dinner, program and entertainment at 7 p.m.
The event will honor three patients at Casa Colina—
Daniel Franco of Rancho Cucamonga, who was an up-
and-coming featherweight boxer until he was knocked
out in a fight in Iowa in June 2017; Katrina Hannah of
La Verne who suffered gunshot wounds at the Route 91
Harvest Festival concert in Las Vegas on October 1,
2017; and Johnny “Ringo” Scharnweber of Phelan,
who was paralyzed after a motorcycle accident in a
desert motorcycle race.
All proceeds from the annual Tribute to Courage gala
benefit a Casa Colina Foundation fund that helps pro-
vide care for under-resourced patients and, in some
cases, temporary housing for patients’ families so they
may be near their loved ones during the often-lengthy
rehabilitation process.
For information, including sponsorship, donations
and tickets, contact Casa Colina Foundation at (909)

What makes Claremont, Claremont?
by John Neiuber
A
s I was looking through past
columns to refresh my memory on
what I had written about in subse-
quent installments, I was struck by a rec-
curring theme. I have been writing this
history column since 2012, and prior to
that a monthly “advertorial” column for
four years for Claremont Heritage.
In all that time, there were at least two columns each
year where I appear to be attempting to define what
makes Claremont, Claremont.
At various times, I have said it is because of its dis-
tinct neighborhoods, 31 in all, with the Village being
the common neighborhood that brings us together; the
tradition of citizen involvement in city governance that
has its roots in the town meeting; careful and deliberate
planning by city government, civic leaders and an ac-
tive community; the holiday traditions that may have
changed over time, but are rooted in our history; our
tree heritage; the adaptive reuse of historic buildings in-
stead of demolishing them; the accomplished architects
that designed iconic buildings; the long commitment to
preserving wilderness spaces and historic buildings; the
cultural heritage evident in Claremont being home to
so many creative people in the arts; and the contribu-
tions of countless individuals such as Bess and Herman
Garner, Helen Renwick and Judy Wright.
In response to last month’s column, “What makes a
building historic?,” residents Margaret Russell and
James Manifold sent letters to the editor compliment-
ing the column and calling me a “historian.” I thank
them for their kind words, but in the realm of “histori-
ans,” calling me one may insult actual historians.
Resident and planning commissioner Doug Lyon en-
joyed the column and found it helpful, and elevated the
topic by discussing what should be our guiding princi-
ples for historic preservation. He referred me to a docu-
mentary entitled, Why Beauty Matters, by Roger
Scruton, philosopher and writer, and especially the part
on architecture and how it could inform urban planning
in Claremont.
Mr. Scruton believes that we have lost the value of
“Tonight’s peasant enrichment seminar ‘The Joy of Servitude and Duty’ will be
followed by complimentary gruel and aerobics.”
The good old days before we had the vote.
beauty in the arts and architecture. He says that from
1750 to 1930, if you asked people to describe the aim
of art, poetry or music, they would have replied beauty,
and that the point of beauty is it is a value as important
as truth and goodness. In architecture, utility replaced
beauty when form followed function, and buildings be-
came soulless and sterile.
He believes the cult of utility has replaced the higher
value of beauty. He calls it the crime of modern archi-
tecture. He has some points to make, but I found his
arguments wanting, and he seems to be angry that the
world has changed. He believes modern architecture is
just plain ugly. Granted, there isn’t much redeeming
value in a utilitarian big box store; however; there is a
lot of beautiful modern architecture.
He does say, “Architecture that doesn’t respect the
past is not respecting the present, because it is not re-
specting peoples’ primary need from architecture,
which is to build a long standing home.” There is a
point here that does inform our own planning in Clare-
mont, because in order to maintain the feel of what
makes Claremont, Claremont, it is important to under-
stand what made Claremont, Claremont. Case in point,
the Village.
When Village West was developed, it maintained the
scale and massing of the original Village. It respected
the past, therefore helping to maintain a sense of place.
It is accessible, walkable and scaled to that small town
feel that helps make Claremont, Claremont. It is cer-
tainly a principle that can be applied to future develop-
ment.
Recently, working as a member of a city ad hoc com-
mittee looking at historic preservation, there was a vi-
sioning exercise to help the members of the committee
generate ideas of what would be the result of their col-
lective efforts. In addition to the committee, there were
Claremont COURIER/Friday, March 2, 2018 6
residents present who took part in the exercise.
Ted Trzyna, resident, and president and senior fellow
of the InterEnvironment Institute in Claremont, was
one. Mr. Trzyna shared that beyond the built environ-
ment, aesthetics and the other physical attributes of
place, the people who live and have lived in the city
create a “spirit of place.”
He spoke about the cooperative culture of Claremont,
starting with the Congregationalists and participatory
democracy that began with the town hall form of self-
governance as one of the defining attributes of the spirit
of Claremont.
Another principle is the strong connection to nature
and the nearby mountains. The urban forest and the
commitment to opens spaces with areas like the
Wilderness Park are examples, along with being a
leader in sustainability. Excellence in education is an-
other area, and not just the Claremont Colleges, but
the K-12 schools as well. He noted that Claremont is a
supportive home for artists and the arts. He believes
that a tolerant and open community is another princi-
ple of the city.
And then on Saturday, February 24, I went to a talk
by Adam Arenson (an actual historian) at Scripps Col-
lege. He spoke about his new book, Banking on
Beauty, Millard Sheets and Midcentury Commer-
cial Architecture in California.
Mr. Sheets designed modern buildings with orna-
mentation, art, mosaics and sculpture and, yes, it served
a purpose, but they were and still are beautiful today
(take that, Scruton). And we are fortunate to have so
many right here in Claremont.
So, here I was thinking about what to write and
thinking about what makes Claremont, Claremont, and
all these seemingly unrelated things occur that open up
even more ideas as to what defines the city. I suspect
that it is not just one thing that makes Claremont,
Claremont.
I suspect that if one were to make a list, it would be
difficult to prioritize. I suspect that whatever one calls
it, a sense of place or spirit, it doesn’t matter much.
Those are only words. I suspect each Claremonter has
their own overarching idea. Residents know. It is a feel-
ing, one just knows, and I suspect it is as personal as
each individual.

Power problem
Dear Editor:
The prolonged power outage in the
Village last week was a breach of trust.
Southern California Edison failed to per-
form its scheduled maintenance in a
timely manner. Interestingly, on the com-
pany website, it claimed that no cus-
tomers were affected, which clearly isn’t
the case as many Village businesses re-
main closed.
The absence of a public utility like
power hinders businesses’ ability to op-
erate, and is especially harmful to small
and medium-sized businesses because
unlike major corporations, they are liable
for their own costs.
I am interested to read any follow-up
pieces on whether Edison ever had any
discussions with Village businesses on
appropriate times for the outage and if
there is any form of compensation being
discussed between Edison and impacted
customers for this extended outage.

A rational conversation
Dear Editor:
In last Friday’s COURIER, Dave Cham-
berlain wrote what was, to all appearances,
a heartfelt and genuine letter concerning
the high school shooting in Parkland,
Florida. In his letter he posed the question,
“how can we navigate the polarizing
rhetoric and instead focus on common
sense policy?”
Yes, a focus on common sense policy
would be a breath of fresh air in a debate
which is presently at loggerheads. I do
hope, however, that what is meant by
“common sense” policy is that which
would in fact have the real-world effect of
preventing what one desires to prevent, in
this case more mass murders of innocent
people. At least to the extent that govern-
ment laws, regulations and policies are able
to influence such things.
Therefore, with the sole intent to be ob-
jective, and not polarizing, our nation will
never be able to have the serious debate it
so desperately needs until both sides are
willing to consider all possible remedies.
At the moment, one side of the spectrum
is open to discussing a broad range of op-
tions and actions that offer a realistic chance
of actually preventing mass shootings,
while still honoring and respecting our Sec-
ond Amendment.
The other side of the spectrum contin-
ues to insist on only one sort of policy
changes, those which will result in further
infringements of our Second Amend-
ment, whether or not they offer, or have
ever offered any real-world likelihood of
preventing such horrible events. (There ex-
ists an enormous amount of empirical ev-
idence on this subject.)
Consider the attendees at CNN’s sup-
posed “town hall” last week who chanted,
“shame on you,” to the NRA’s represen-
tative, Dana Loesch. Or those who booed
every time Senator Marco Rubio spoke. All
of it egged on by CNN. Is it any surprise
then, that we have been unable to have a
reasoned, rational conversation and debate?

An open letter
Dear Editor:
To NRA members: the time has come
for you to resign from the NRA and stop
supporting their political activities.
I realize that the NRA offers its mem-
bers a range of good programs: gun safe-
ty training, ranges, social opportunities, etc.
But those programs are certainly not what
the chief aim of the NRA is today. They
are the come on to get members to support
the political aims of the organization—they
are the candy that the stranger offers the
child if he or she gets into the car.
Research shows that an overwhelming
majority of NRA members support such
matters as a system of universal back-
ground checks. But the organization itself
will not do what its members see as com-
mon sense.
So the members must lead the way to

a safer society and that means abandoning
NRA membership even if that costs the in-
dividual the goodies that it provides.

“Evil walks among us.” It is highly un-

Crash test dummies
Dear Editor:
I see in the news that the California De-
partment of Motor Vehicles will allow dri-
verless cars to be turned loose on California
highways without a backup safety driver
starting in April.
The state of California is turning us into
a bunch of crash-test dummies.
If this is a good idea, it’s also a good idea
for big pharma to skip all the burdensome
drug trials and just go ahead and test their
drugs on the open market. At least in that
case we’d be taking the pills voluntarily.
This sort of thing has worked well in the
past. Just ask the subjects of the Tuskegee
experiment or the “downwinders” from
Nevada atomic testing.

Metrolink
Dear Editor:
I am glad to see that the Metrolink is
becoming a more affordable option for
users. As a student, it is nice to be able
to take the train into LA and do some
exploring.
Furthermore, many students have ac-
ademic work or internships in the city
so it is nice to see that this is becoming
a more affordable option for them. Al-
though the Metrolink takes a long time,
it is often faster then waiting in work
hour traffic to get into the city.
I believe that the Metrolink is vital
for students at the Claremont Colleges
to exploit all of the resources available
to them in LA.

Arming teachers
Dear Editor:
I was quite moved by Dave Cham-
berlain’s letter (“Stand Up,” February
23) regarding the continuing gun vio-
lence epidemic in America.
Once again we have a mass shooting
and the reactions are all over the map,
including the NRA’s “damage control”
at the CPAC convention and President
Trump’s suggestion that some teachers
Claremont COURIER/Friday, March 2, 2018 8
should be armed in our schools and
even receive a pay bonus for packing
heat in the classroom.
If people being armed is the ultimate
solution to all this, which translates to
even more guns in circulation, then I
have a suggestion for our president that
both lives up to this idea and may help
save a few bucks in the federal budget:
Do away with all Secret Service protec-
tion for those who currently have it and
simply arm each of those individuals
with appropriate fire power. (I would
toss in a one-time class in how to effec-
tively handle a gun, of course.)
If our president believes arming
teachers is the solution for schools, sure-
ly he could be the role model by arming
himself in order to get the ball rolling.
And, lest we lose those competent
Secret Service professionals, they could
be reassigned to any open border patrol
positions.
There. Problem solved.

Henry H. Hayden
Great-grandfather, Civil Rights advocate, pastor, university chaplain
Reverend Henry Hayden, of Clare-

illness on January 17, 2018, at the age of
99.  of the first “fair housing” acts to pass the
He led a distinguished life both as a
parish minister and university chaplain,
his family shared. Ordained as a Protes-
tant minister with the Congregational
Church (now the United Church of
Christ), Rev. Hayden served God and his
fellow man with dedication and distinc-
tion for over 70 years. He was active
throughout his life, filling it with art,
music, family, ministry, friendships, and
a passion for social justice and inclusion.
Rev. Hayden was born October 9,
1918, in West Hartford, Connecticut, to
William Hoyt Hayden and Bernice Leah
Hayden (King). He attended Trinity Col-
lege in Hartford, Connecticut, graduat-
ing cum laude in 1939, and receiving the
college’s Van Zile Prize for original po-
etry. In 1944 he received his bachelor of
divinity degree from the Pacific School
of Religion in Berkeley, California. In
1966 he earned his doctor of divinity
from the same institution.
While on staff at Plymouth Church in
Syracuse, New York, Rev. Hayden met
his beloved wife, Betty Jane. They were
married August 20, 1942.  Following
Rev. Hayden’s graduation from PSR in
1944, the couple moved to Guerneville,
California, where he became pastor at
the Community Congregational Church.
While serving this parish he was instru-
mental in persuading the state conference
to buy and develop a large tract of land as
Camp Cazadero, now a noteworthy
church camp of the UCC.
Rev. Hayden served as pastor at Col-
lege Community Congregational Church
in Fresno, California, from 1956 to 1970,
and then the Community United Church
of Christ in San Carlos, California, until
1984. Prior to his parish ministry in
Fresno, Rev. Hayden also served as the
Protestant chaplain at the University of
New Mexico and the University of New
Hampshire.  Rev. Hayden remained active until just
Rev. Hayden  focused his faith and
ministry on areas of social justice, be-
lieving that Christ’s message was as
much political as it was spiritual, his
family related. He openly spoke from the
pulpit against the government’s policy of
relocating Japanese-Americans to in-
ternment camps during WWII; he met
with and spoke to Dr. Martin Luther
King when he came to California to lend
support to Proposition 4, which was one
California legislature; he walked a por-
tion of the route from Delano to Sacra-
mento with Cesar Chavez and the United
Farm Workers on behalf of migrant
workers’ rights; and, in 1972 he worked
to support the ordination of the first
openly gay individual in a “mainstream”
American denomination.   Deirdre (Larry) of Beaverton, Oregon;
Rev. Hayden retired in 1984. In his re-
tirement sermon that year, he noted the
struggle to advance racial equality, in-
clusion and social justice “has continued
for all the years of my ministry, and I
have tried never to speak without calling
attention to these, and often it has been
unpopular among some and even dan-
gerous among others.” After retiring,
Rev. Hayden served interim ministries in
Kapaau, Hawaii; Arlington, Massachu-
setts; and Los Altos, California. In later
years he gave monthly sermons at Pil-
grim Place and returned often to Com-
munity UCC in Fresno to reiterate his
message. The Social Hall at Community
UCC was dedicated in his name on one
of those visits.   grim Place, 625 Mayflower Rd.,

Ruth Noren
Lifelong missionary in Hong Kong and China, longtime Pilgrim Place resident
Muriel Ruth Noren, a Claremont resi-
dent who spent a lifetime as a mission-
ary in Hong Kong and China, died
peacefully on her 99th birthday, Febru-
ary 22, 2018.
She was born February 22, 1919 in
Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Her grandfather
helped establish the First Baptist
Church in Sheboygan, where her grand-
parents, parents and numerous relatives
were active leaders.
Mrs. Noren held a bachelor’s degree
in sociology from Ottawa University,
Kansas. She did Chinese language study
at Yale Language School and took grad-
uate courses at Boston University, Den-
ver University, Columbia University
and Hong Kong University.
Early in her career, Mrs. Noren did
urban church work, including summer
camp counseling under the Boston City
Mission and youth work at Union Con-
gregational Church in Boston, where
Loren E. Noren was the pastor. The two
were married on New Year’s Eve, 1941.
The couple’s work relationship set the
pattern for their lifelong commitment as
partners in ministry with the Chinese
people in China and in Hong Kong,
from 1946 to 1986, under International
Ministries of the American Baptist
Churches.
Mrs. Noren’s work in the Chinese
setting included teaching church-related
social work at Hong Kong Baptist Col-
lege and supervising field work for so-
cial work students, serving as advisor to
the Family Life Committee of the Hong
Kong Council of Social Service and or-
ganizing family life training sessions in
Chinese Christian churches. She also
produced writing workshop materials
on changing family patterns for Asian
Christian women’s conferences, pro-
moted efforts of the family planning as-
sociation by showing films and
introducing parents to family clinics and
giving devotional talks in Chinese lan-
guage for women, youth and children,
as well as wrote children’s stories about
Chinese family life which were pub-
lished in the United States.
In China, Mrs. Noren was instrumen-
tal in organizing sharing groups for
nurses, college students, pastors’ wives
and career women on topics such as
changing roles of Asian women, super-
stition and religion, family communica-
tion, priorities in the rapidly-changing
city of Hong Kong, and expressions of
Christian faith in a Chinese context. She
taught English as a second language in
Christian centers and traveled from
Hong Kong to the US with Asian chil-
dren whose adoptions were arranged by
International Social Service.
Since her 1986 retirement at Pilgrim
Place in Claremont, Mrs. Noren served
in the senior community’s world affairs
and health and welfare committees and
assisted patients in the Health Services
Center.
For many years, she worked at the in-
ternational bazaar booth at the annual
Pilgrim Place Festival, where her spe-
cialty was selling exotic clothing from
around the world. She enjoyed arrang-
ing flowers for the garden lounge and
Pitzer Lodge, and using silk screening

OBITUARIES
to make four-color note cards. Most im-
portantly, she valued the rich friendships
and ongoing support of the Pilgrim
Place community.
During her many years in assisted liv-
ing at Pitzer Lodge and later at Pilgrim
Place’s Health Services Center, she
greatly appreciated the loving kindness
and dedication of her caregivers.
Mrs. Noren was preceded in death by
her husband, Reverend Loren E. Noren,
in 1992.
She is survived by her son, Carl
(Carol Cochran), who lives in San Fran-
cisco and is a computer systems analyst;
daughter Joy (John McRae), a Port
Clinton, Ohio resident who is the retired
founder/director of the Language Train-
ing Institute in Englewood Cliffs, New
Jersey; daughter Debbie (Mark Fuller),
a reading specialist in Austin; and three
grandchildren, Guy Noren, Katie Fuller
and Luke Fuller.
“Ruth was well known for her love of
the outdoors, particularly lakes and
oceans,” her family shared. “In her re-
tirement years, she was often seen rid-
ing her bicycle, popularly known as ‘the
white Cadillac,’ with her colorful
scarves waving in the breeze.”
There will be a memorial service at
Evergreen Cemetery in Superior, Ne-
braska, Rev. Noren’s hometown.

Wolfpack will field competitive teams this spring

W
ith Claremont High School win-
ter sports now in the rear view
mirror, what is in store for the
Wolfpack going into spring? Like most sea-
sons, CHS will have strong, competitive
teams looking to see a lot of CIF playoff ac-
tion. Here’s a brief overview of each team
as the season gets going in full swing.

Track and field Coach Veronica Amarasekara works

with a group of long jumpers during a recent practice
at CHS. The track and field program looks strong this
season, anchored by very talented boys and girls dis-
tance runners.

Members of the girls track and field team run laps at CHS during a recent practice. The girls team has been
the league champions for the last eight years and are fielding a strong team again this year.

Aurora Sheridan, who was a member of the girls wa-

Track and field
Girls track and field are hoping to continue their streak
of league victories led by the same
group of distance runners that took a SPORTING
California State title, and its first ever LIFE
trip to the Nike Cross Nationals in cross country last fall.
Asked about the record streak, Coach Veronica Ama-
rasekara wasn’t certain, but estimated they had won league
for the past eight years, going back to when the Pack was
still in the Baseline League.
Alyssa Cantrell, Abby Holt, Sydney Hwang and
Azalea Segura-Mora are among the distance runners who
will anchor the Pack’s effort in the 1600- and 3200-me-
ter events. Several of the girls compete in a range of events,
with Cantrell in hurdles and sprints and Holt in high jump
and pole vault. Kylie Robinson is Claremont’s top re-
turning sprinter.
The boys, who also earned a league title last year, have
a number of strong runners, including Ryan Cowgill and
AJ Reyes. Rounding out the lineup is Phillip Donnelly,
a multi platform athlete competing in sprinting and jump-
ing events. Claremont’s first competition is the Brea Re-
lays on Saturday.
Swimming
Nat Harding has taken over as head swimming coach,
replacing Joyce Stein, who resigned. Coach Harding was
assistant varsity coach last year, so he is a familiar face
around campus. He holds two kinesiology degrees, a bach-
elor’s in sports management from Grambling State and
a master’s in sports performance from Louisiana Tech. In
addition to his duties at CHS he is an assistant coach at
Pomona-Pitzer, and for Mt. Baldy Aquatics.
“The season looks good, we have a huge JV team. I am
looking forward to seeing them develop,” Coach Hard-
ing said.
Twin juniors Toby and Sophie Jackson are back for an-
other year and both will compete in the 100 butterfly. Toby
will add 200 freestyle and Sophie the 50 free.
The Jackson twins went to the CIF tournament last sea-
son, where Sophie placed 16th in the 50 free.
ter polo team that went to the semi final match of the CIF
tournament this year, is a diverse athlete, competing in sprint
events such as the 50 free and distance events including
the 500 free.
Another swimmer to watch will be senior Matthew Mc-
Carthy, whose two best events are the 100 breast and 50
freestyle.
Claremont has a relay meet on Saturday at Diamond
Bar High School.
Boys volleyball
Claremont started the season out right by getting a tie
for first place in the First Serve Tournament at Crescen-
ta Valley High School.
The Pack beat Palmdale, 2-0, Verdugo Hills, 2-0, then
lost to La Salle, 3-1. In the final round they took on host
SPORTING LIFE/continues on the next page

Baseball
Claremont has 15 seniors on the varsity squad this year,
which could spell trouble for next year, except they also
have five freshmen in the rotation.
Coach Ron LaChase is excited about the team’s
prospects, even though they started out at 0-2, after los-
ing a doubleheader to Monrovia on Saturday at home.
The Pack has eight pitchers, with three senior starters,
including Andrew Beauvais, who is headed to the Uni-
versity of Pittsburg; Jack Noble, who will attend the Uni-
versity of Oregon; and Cory Smith, who heads to the Uni-
versity of San Diego this fall.
Senior center fielder Jake Holcroft, who is the Pack’s
top hitter, will attend Portland State.
Several Claremont seniors have played under Coach
LaChase for the four years he has led the team. “They were
freshmen when I started, so I feel like this is my gradu-
ating class,” he said.
Other boys to watch include senior Brandon Frieson,
who will fill in at third base and catch, and a transfer from
Damien, Marc Gonzalez, who will also catch.
Claremont defeated Garey, 5-3, on Wednesday, in game
one of the Brian Hamilton Tournament.

Webb Schools
boys soccer
makes the final
four in CIF
The Webb Schools remarkable
boys soccer season came to an end on
Tuesday when the Gauls lost to Ru-
bidoux, 1-0, in the semifinal match of
the Division 6 CIF Southern Section
Championships.
Before Tuesday’s game, the Gauls
had not lost for 11 straight games
going back to mid January.
Webb was undefeated, 12-0, in San
Joaquin League play, with a remark-
able 20-5-1 overall record. The Gauls
end the season ranked fifth in their di-
vision.
SPORTING LIFE/from the previous page
Crescenta Valley in the final, losing the first
set 23-25, but winning the second , 25-23,
and then prevailing in the tiebreaker, 17-
15. As a result, the Pack ended up with the
same record as Crescenta Valley, 4-1, but
won on head-to-head play.
The Pack should be one of the top teams
in league this year, with Damien and Los
Altos also fielding good teams.
Senior Caedin Miller is Claremont’s kill
leader, with senior David Deanda being
number one in aces and assists. Second best
in kills is senior Jack Stark.
“There are a lot of good teams but we
should be right in the mix,” said Coach
Bernie Wendling, who has been the boys
volleyball coach at CHS for 20 years.
The Pack had a rematch with Crescen-
ta Valley Wednesday, but results were not
immediately available.

uation.
Senior Leyton Bohren will return as the
number one seed in singles, and has a
clearer shot at the league individual title,
because longtime nemesis Neil Teng-
bumroong is now a freshman at the UC
San Diego.
“Due to other teams losing some play-
ers, we should be the strongest league
team,” said Coach Kathy Settles, who is
in her third year leading the boys team and
is also the girls tennis coach.
Rounding out the singles is second seed
junior Jason Weisman, and third sopho-
more Ben Stapp.
Coach Settles has not decided the pair-
ings for doubles, but top players include
Jason’s twin, Andrew Weisman, junior Ah-
keel Mohideen and senior Carson Chen.
The Pack opened the season with a very
close home game, with St. Francis tying
the Knights 9-9 on sets, but winning on
games.
Coach Settles held the first ever Clare-
mont High School 10 and Under Tennis
Clinic earlier this month.

munity,” she said.
The boys will be playing Redlands High
School, the Division 2 champions last year,
at home on Monday.
Softball
Claremont hired Tawnee Adams to
replace Vincent Hernandez as the head
varsity softball coach.
Coach Adams was teaching PE and
coaching softball at Hesperia High School
when Claremont offered her the job. She
was very happy to join the Pack because
she likes the community and is closer to
her hometown of Riverside. She will also
be a full-time PE teacher at CHS.
She is a 2006 graduate of Riverside Poly
High School and played collegiate soft-
ball at Riverside City and at La Sierra col-
leges. The newlywed earned a bachelor’s
in kinesiology from Cal State San
Bernardino, but did not play softball for
the Coyotes.
“I am obsessed with softball. I think
about it and talk about it all the time,”
Coach Adams shared during a break
from practice on Tuesday.
The Pack also has a new assistant
coach, 2012 CHS graduate Rebecca Ire-
land.
Claremont COURIER/Friday, March 2, 2018 13
Claremont went 5-10 in league last year,
to which Coach Adams quipped, “There
is nowhere to go but up,” she said. “We
have been working hard and focusing on
our offense.”
Claremont started out 2018 in the hole,
losing its season opener to Bishop Amat,
8-3, on Monday in La Puente. However,
they were not at full staffing due to injuries.
Coach Adams is taking a “staff pitch-
ing” approach with four potential starters,
including freshman Mikaela Huizar, soph-
omore Katlin Entrup, junior Alexis Jimenez
and senior Skylar Grani. Top bats include
senior Lani Moreno, who hit an RBI
Double in the Bishop Amat game, and
freshman Sydney Diaz, a lefty.
They defeated Chino, 3-1, at home on
Wednesday to even their record at 1-1.
Boys golf
Claremont narrowly defeated rival
Damien, 221-228, at Red Hill Country
Club on Wednesday. Connor Reis shot a
42 to anchor the Pack’s win. A complete
preview on boys golf will be in our next

OF TRUSTEE'S SALE NOTICE TO POTEN-
TIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on
this property lien, you should understand that there are
risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will
be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing
the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automati-
cally entitle you to free and clear ownership of the prop-
erty. You should also be aware that the lien being
auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the high-
est 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, prior-
ity, 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 this 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 ap-
plicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of
this property, you may call (866)-960-8299 or visit this
Internet Web site http://www.altisource.com/Mort-
gageServices/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices.asp
x using the file number assigned to this case 2015-
01420-CA. 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 at-
tend the scheduled sale. Western Progressive, LLC,

Time & Date: Saturday, March 17, 2018, from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The Claremont Village Marketing Group will be hosting their Annual Pie Festival special

cated along Second Street, within the Claremont Village from Oberlin Avenue to Yale Av-

and College Avenue, and west/eastbound streets, Bonita Avenue and First Street will re-
main open to maintain vehicular access. The event will include a pie baking contest, food
trucks, a car show, amplified sound, and vendor booths to promote businesses within the
Claremont Village.
The approval of this event is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub.
Resources Code, Sec. 21000 et seq.) ("CEQA") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the ac-
tivity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the en-
vironment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of
the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3. This event has
no potential for resulting in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly. The
approval of this event is not a "project" under CEQA, and even if it were, it would be sub-
ject to the CEQA exemption contained in CEQA Guideline Section 15061(b)(3) because it
can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this event will have a significant
effect on the environment.
