Seniors Jacob Bertrand and Phillip Donnelly voice their support for one of the speak-
ers during the National School Walk Out protest on Wednesday at Claremont High.
The students held a rally in central quad at CHS on the one-month anniversary of the
school shooting in Parkland, Florida to call for an end to gun violence. High school
students around the country participated in the event, which also was a opportunity
for teenagers to register, or pre-register, to vote. Story on page 3.

Dear Editor:
To members of the Democratic party:
the time has come for you to resign from
the Democratic party and stop supporting
its political activities.
I realize that the Democratic party of-
fers its members some good things: a safe
thought-free environment and social club
activities with other superannuated self-
inflating gaslighters, etc. But those pro-
grams are certainly not what the chief
aim of the Democratic party is today.
They are the come-on to get members to
support the political aims of the organiza-
tion—the candy that the stranger offers
the child if he or she gets into the car.
Research—which I’ve just made up—
shows that an overwhelming majority of

Democratic members are not serial sex
offenders or corrupt criminals. But the
organization itself keeps putting such
people in positions of leadership. Take
a look at the roster of former Califor-
nia state officials.
So the members must lead the way
to a saner society and that means aban-
doning Democratic party membership
even if that costs the individual the
goodies it provides.
The Democratic party leadership
and their fellow-travelers see evil
never where it actually exists, but al-
ways and only in its ideological foes.

CHS students take stand against gun violence

H
undreds of students at
Claremont High
School walked out of
their classes to unite under one
message—never again.
The walkout was part of a national
movement on Wednesday morning, as
students gathered in central quad for 17
minutes—one minute for each student
who died at Marjory Stoneman Dou-
glas High School in Parkland, Florida
on February 14. School officials, par-
ents and community members, includ-
ing 45 residents from Pilgrim Place,
met the students to cheer them on.
“I decided to walk out today because,
personally, I’m tired of the lack of leg-
islation on gun control laws,” CHS jun-
ior Evelyn Downer, who leads the
Black Student Union, said. “And as a
student, I don’t want to be afraid to
come to school.”
The walkout began at 9:55 a.m.,
when the bell rang and signaled the end
of second period. Students, some hold-
ing signs with slogans such as “enough
is enough” and “thoughts and prayers
matter, but action matters more,”
quickly filled the quad.

Edison tries to temper unhappy council over power outage

whenever we do have some extended outages, that planation. Mr. Schroeder was disappointed with the

T
he city council heard from Edison
about the recent extended power
outage on Friday, February 23,
which caused many businesses in the Vil-
lage to close for long periods of time.
The planned outage for the Sec-
ond Street vault project was initially CITY
supposed to last from 9 p.m. on COUNCIL
February 22 to 6 a.m. on February
23. Instead it lasted well into that Friday afternoon,
frustrating merchants and forcing some businesses to
close for the day.
Edison representative Marissa Castro-Salvati and
Edison supervisor Les Montgomery were on hand to
explain the scope of work and why the outage lasted
longer than initially planned.
“Unfortunately, the time frame was extended, and
we wanted to make sure that the city is reminded that
that’s why we call it estimated,” Ms. Castro-Salvati
said.
She also said Edison does not have a policy of issu-
ing temporary generators to businesses, in response to
Mr. Calaycay’s comments on not receiving any help
from Edison at the last council meeting.
There is another vault replacement on Fourth Street
scheduled at an undetermined future date, Ms. Castro-
Salvati said, and part of Edison’s plan is to send out a
“dear neighbor” letter to provide a comprehensive
outline of what kind of work would be done.
Mr. Montgomery noted that while they missed the
mark on the estimated timeframe, it was due to diffi-
cult conditions, including working in a small vault
that held only three people at a time, a worker that
was called away from the job due to a 911 call in the
area, and a sprinkler system that leaked into the work
area, delaying the project.
The council was not impressed with Edison’s ex-
lack of outreach by Edison to Village merchants, to
which Mr. Montgomery replied that they do not have
the people for that kind of outreach.
“The focus is supporting those crews to get the
work done so we can get the power up sooner,” he
said.
Councilmember Sam Pedroza noted that there
should be a contingency plan in place to have genera-
tors on hand in case this happens again, and called the
incident a “black eye” for Edison.
“It makes all the sense in the world to me to have a
backup generator when this happens again,” he said.
Mr. Montgomery noted that the onus was on the
customers to purchase or rent generators and insinu-
ated that if Edison were to provide their own genera-
tors, rates may go up due to costs and the number of
generators in the Village would crowd streets and al-
leyways.
CITY COUNCIL/next page
 CITY NEWS
CITY COUNCIL/from the previous page
Mr. Calaycay said that in addition to the dear neigh-
bor letter, a better outreach to the village merchants was
needed, including making appearances at Chamber
breakfasts.
During public comment, Viva Madrid owner Laura
Cayley noted that this wasn’t the first time outages have
affected her business. A week before the February 23
outage, the power in her restaurant was shut down dur-
ing a busy dinner rush, and an Edison rep was rude to
her when she brought it to her attention.
“We had to comp 50 meals, people are sitting in the
dark and they can’t finish their meals,” she said.
The message was clear from the council—Edison
needed to have a better plan in place to assist village
merchants if another prolonged outage occurred.
Michael Twardowski, the vice president of account
management for SLWA, apologized for the confusion
and pledged to work with the city to craft the letter to
their liking. He admitted that the second reminder let-
ter was already in the mail when the row over the first
letter occurred.
During public comment, Ludd Trozpek called out the
city for chastising SLWA for using the city’s logo, but
not Claremont Canopy, who also used the city logo in
their materials.
“I think there’s a certain irony and a certain deli-
ciousness in the fact that you’ve just given an award
earlier this evening to the co-founder of Claremont
Canopy and they’re using your logo on their website,”
he said.
Ms. Schultz explained that city staff is working on
the issue with the city attorney.
Claremont COURIER/Friday, March 16, 2018 4
for a single year before the council reorganizes again.
City Clerk Shelley Desautels noted this time, the
mayor job would only last eight months before another
reorganization, due to Assembly Bill 415, which moved
up the next city council election date from March 2019
to November 2018.
When the reorganization was complete, recycled
name placards identifying Mr. Nasiali as mayor and Mr.
Calaycay as mayor pro tem were placed on the dais.
New city attorney introduced
The city also entered into a multi-year contract with
law firm Rutan & Tucker, LLP for legal services, and
introduced the new city attorney, Alisha Patterson.
The agreement with the Costa Mesa-based firm is for
five years, ending on March 12, 2023, with two five-
year extension options if needed. The deal officially re-
places Best, Best & Kreiger.

Claremont Canopy recognized
The city recognized Claremont Canopy and its co-
founder, Christy Anderson, for their efforts in helping
Syrian refugee families find their footing.
Ms. Anderson was also the recipient of Assembly-
member Chris Holden’s 2018 Woman of Distinction
award, representing the city of Claremont.
Ms. Schroeder noted that since Claremont Canopy
was founded a year ago, it has helped nine families,
mostly from Syria, to find homes and work in the area.
Ms. Montgomery thanked the council and said it was
a group effort, pointing to a number of supporters in the
audience who were wearing red shirts with “Yalla” on
it, which means “let’s go” in Arabic.
SLWA agreement to be brought back for review
Councilmember Larry Schroeder also called for an
agreement with Service Line Warranties of America
(SLWA) to be brought back for review by the council,
days after two letters using his signature and the city
logo confused many Claremonters.
As previously reported by the COURIER, the letters
used a signature from then-Mayor Schroeder that he
called a “facsimile,” and the envelope the letter arrived
in contained only the city logo and no mention of
SLWA. Mr. Schroeder said the letters have put the city
and him in “a difficult position.”
City Manager Tara Schultz said any further mailings
from SLWA have been halted until the use of the city
logo is resolved and the text of the letter is re-written to
the city’s satisfaction.
M
r. Pedroza shot back at Mr.
Trozpek, who lives in the unin-
corporated area of Padua Hills,
claiming “it’s very delicious that our non-
resident is pointing out this issue in the
city. Our favorite non-resident, I suppose.”
Jennifer Stark, who is a member of Claremont
Canopy, assured the council that the logo would be
changed and that they were not aware of the copyright.
As of Thursday, the logo was no longer on the group’s
website or Facebook page.
The agreement with SLWA will be brought back to
the council for review within 30 days.
Nasiali selected as mayor
Opanyi Nasiali, the former mayor pro tem, received
a unanimous vote from his fellow councilmembers as
the Claremont city council reorganized during Tuesday
night’s meeting.
This is Mr. Nasiali’s second go-around as mayor. He
is up for re-election in November. Councilmember
Corey Calaycay was chosen as mayor pro tem.
“It’s a privilege we all have on this council to serve
the public and serving as mayor gives us even more of
a privilege,” Mr. Nasiali said, emphasizing that this
would be his second and last time serving as Clare-
mont’s mayor.
Mayors aren’t voted into office in Claremont, mak-
ing the position largely ceremonial. Terms usually last
Claremont’s interim city attorney, Jeff Oderman, also
works for Rutan & Tucker. Under the agreement, Mr.
Oderman would remain on as assistant city attorney.
But the contract was not without controversy. During
public comment, Jim Belna claimed a conflict of inter-
est existed between the city and Rutan & Tucker, as the
firm handled certain aspects of the failed bid to take over
the water system as BB&K still served as lead counsel.
BB&K is currently under investigation by the Fair
Political Practices Commission for possibly violating
the Political Reform Act and Governmental Code Sec-
tion 1090, Mr. Belna said. If the city were to pursue legal
action against BB&K for legal malpractice, he said,
Rutan & Tucker would have a conflict. He urged the
council to find another firm.
Mr. Oderman, speaking not as the interim city attor-
ney but “as an applicant,” disagreed with Mr. Belna’s
assertion.
“I find no merit in that whatsoever,” he said.
Mr. Calaycay noted that if the city were to file a law-
suit against BB&K, they could do so using an entirely
different firm.
The contract was passed, 5-0, and Ms. Patterson was
administered the oath of office by City Clerk Shelley
Desaultels.
The next city council meeting will take place on
March 27.

Students who organized the National School Walkout protest on Wednesday at Claremont High School invited members of the public to attend, including their par-

pre-register if they were 16 or 17. Flyers were posted
around campus with information on how students
could register.
“Y
ou have a voice, do not be
afraid to use it,” CHS stu-
dent Madeleine Adolph
said. “Together, we can ensure that this
happens never again.”
Enrique Robles, a representative of Congress-
woman Judy Chu, was at the school to accept a peti-
tion with more than a thousand student signatures
urging for tighter gun control legislation.
Student Maya Aga, who co-organized the event
with classmate Katherine Arboleda, noted that the
demonstration was entirely student-run and included
members of clubs Stand Up CHS, the Gender Sexual-
ity Alliance, the Black Student Union and the Femi-
nist Club, among others.
“I just wanted to personally thank the community
members, staff and students who attended the CHS
walkout,” Katherine said. “I deeply appreciate the
support from the administration and district for this
event. As one of the organizers, I was constantly
amazed by the strong passion of the students in-
volved.”
Maya said she was inspired to help organize the
walkout after reading about how the victims in Park-
land were just like the people she knew in her life.
She emailed CHS principal Brett O’Connor and, in
her words, “it blew up from there.”
School administrators elected not to talk to the
press, asking that the focus stay on the students. Mr.
O’Connor did require that all visiting adults sign in
with the school to get a visitors pass. Also, he said

any student who did not want to participate could stay
in their classroom with a teacher.
CHS junior Paula Uribe, one of the speakers during
the walkout, has a special connection to the Parkland
shooting—her cousin is a student at Marjory Stone-
man Douglas High School. On the day of the shoot-
ing, she received a phone call from him crying and
saying there was an active shooter on campus.
“Just hearing his voice and how it was trembling
with fear, I didn’t want that to happen on my campus
with my friends,” she said. “I didn’t want my mom to
receive that phone call, telling her that something like
that happened.”
Paula’s cousin wasn’t hurt, but his best friend was
shot and survived. His best friend’s sister, however,
was killed.
Paula was one of the students who placed head-
stones around a tree in central quad, each memorializ-
ing a student or teacher who died in the shooting.
“We really wanted people to go over to that tree
and see the stones and see pictures and their names,

because they’re not just numbers, they are 17 peo-
ple,” she said. “They all have names and they all have
families.”
Evelyn Downer said the Parkland shooting made
her think of her grandmother, who is a retired school-
teacher and who could have been in a similar situa-
tion. But the shooting itself did not surprise her.
“I’d say in this generation, we’ve become quite
used to this kind of news,” she said.
Student Josh Sanchez said hearing about the Park-
land shooting made him realize that a mass shooting
of this magnitude can happen anywhere.
“I think we’re all kind of a little bit afraid, and so
this is our way of showing that we have to stand to-
gether and keep each other strong,” he said.
CHS senior Violet Alvarez-Johnson said the shoot-
ing led her to have a tough conversation with her
younger sister. “If anything happened like that, don’t
wait for me, just be safe,” she said. “It’s very difficult
to have that conversation with someone.”
Even if one didn’t agree with the students’ call for
stricter gun laws, she added, it is important to honor
and memorialize the victims.
When asked what message they wanted to send to
lawmakers, the students did not hesitate—enough is
enough, and it’s time to take action.
“This issue is something that I believe is very im-
portant where change must occur,” Katherine said.
“No student should feel unsafe in their school. It is a
place of learning, not violence. I believe that we are
the future. Never again.”
Maya looks forward to seeing the positive outcome
from her and her classmates’ newfound political ac-
tivism.
“We are ready to say that we are the future, and we
will not allow this to happen again, because we are
the change,” she said.

Botanical volunteers: the good and the bad

ithout being deliberately planted,
“volunteers” appear in our gar-
dens from seed released by plants
we did intentionally introduce, blown in by
the wind, spread in compost, buried by squir-
rels, sneaked in by neighbor’s vines that root
along the ground, or dropped by one or the
other ends of birds.
On the plus side, these are free plants and ones that are
likely to do well in your garden conditions. They might
not be ones you had considered planting but they can cre-
ate interesting combinations of color and texture in your
garden beds that you may not have thought of. They also
provide you with gifts for friends!
A crape myrtle seedling appeared in my garden 25 years
ago and now provides lovely pink flowers, good autumn
color and interesting bark so I’m happy to have it. I also
have several mature Japanese maples, the offspring of a
neighbor’s tree. I must admit to being a fan of serendip-
ity in the garden, so I generally wait until I know what
something is before I pull it up.
What about the downsides? I’m happy with the hon-
esty, cosmos and evening primroses that pop up every
spring, but am going to have to be brutal to the sweet
alyssum seedlings I noticed threatening to create a car-
pet that will compete with other plants. If you grew hy-
brids and want more of the same, then don’t let them seed.

I sat and practiced on the back patio.
Shortly thereafter, my dad took pity on my efforts and
bought me a 1930’s-era Underwood typewriter. It had a

are genetically identical, their seeds will produce offspring
showing a range of qualities (just like human children do).
I had a loquat that volunteered and the fruit was terri-
ble. If you want more of a particular rose, shrub or fruit
tree, you need a clone. You can get these by rooting some
cuttings or buying them from a nursery that rooted or graft-
ed the desired variety.
So, are “volunteers” the same as those invasive plants
that we are told to worry about? Well, some are and some
aren’t. All plants evolved in response to conditions in a
particular area. If they have the ability to spread so ag-
gressively in areas outside of where they originated that
they cause damage to their new environment (or to us),
they are considered to be invasive.
Kudzu was introduced from Japan in the 1800s as an
ornamental vine and in the 1930s to help control erosion
in the southeastern US, and it is a serious pest there where

the conditions are right. The climate in Claremont isn’t
right for it so it wouldn’t spread invasively here.
Yellow star thistle, on the other hand, which appeared
here accidentally from Eurasia in the mid-1800s, thrives
in our Mediterranean climate and can be found through-
out the city, although not usually in cultivated gardens.
Each spring, the Bernard Field Station volunteers pull out
masses of the plants which love the native coastal sage
scrub habitat (to find out about volunteer days, go to
bfs.claremont.edu).
Some plants that are not threats to local natural habi-
tats can, however, be invasive in the garden. I foolishly
planted some airplane plants, Chlorophytum comosum.
Before I knew it, small plantlets on the ends of long stems
rooted, leapfrogging and smothering whatever was next
to them, and the thick, fleshy roots are hard to dig out.
If you want to discourage volunteers, be diligent about
removing flowers before they go to seed, keep a thick lay-
er of mulch around plants to make it more likely that seeds
won’t reach the soil, and remove any volunteers that do
show up early on to prevent them from ever reaching the
seeding or other reproductive stage. But consider the fun
of surprises before you pull them all up!

Now I do almost everything, except serious writing—
like this column (!)—on my phone. I talk to my children
via text, I take photos and share them with friends and
family via Facebook and Instagram, and most everyone
I know and love does the same. Except my mom.
“Nobody ever sends me pictures anymore,” she be-
moaned last year. Pictures? Like those glossy paper things
with white edges?
“Mom,” I replied, “everyone sends pictures all day,
every day, you just don’t see them because we’re texting
them to each other!”
And, so began the effort to wean her from a Nokia flip-
phone with a screen that could hold two words at best to
the brave new world of the smartphone. I tried to take cues
from my own such transformation—remember, I chid-
ed myself, how your fingers felt like lobster claws the first
time you tried to “type” on the screen keys (versus the
tiny letter chiclets on my last Motorola RAZR).
Every time I tried to take my first smartphone out of
my purse, I seemed to open an app. I was greeted by what
appeared to be a doomsday clock (actually, the stopwatch
function) or a Samsung Health app chiding me to “be more
active.”
Argh, I would scream and then proceed to touch 15
more things that weren’t very helpful—there is literally
a little box on my phone called “Marshmallow Upgrade.”
Is this for hot chocolate at Starbucks? No, it’s the oper-
ating system.
All these things I dreamed of as a child: talking to my
son via video-chat when he’s 6,500 miles away in Chi-
na or taking a photo without diminishing my eyesight from
the flare of a flashcube (basically, a firecracker going off
in your face), are now available to me in the palm of my
hand. And now, to my mom too.
Today there’s a model like my original Underwood for
sale on Ebay for $1,000. At the time we gave it away, its
only value was to serve as a rather large doorstop. Things
change, but basically, we still want to be in touch with
each other. It’s just that now I can share that meme of
Grumpy Cat or text photos of leftovers to my daughter
and say, “Do you want some of this?”
It’s called progress.

A message for the public
Dear Editor:
17 more victims. 17 more innocent
children. 17 more incredible, future con-
tributors to our crumbling nation. The
list of the lives taken from a single gun,
the AR-15, grows too rapidly.
On February 14, 2018, yet another
school shooting took place in Parkland,
Florida, where a handful of amazing
students’ future lives and opportunities
were ripped away from them by a single
19-year-old male. We are numb, we are
immune, and we are hopeless. When is
enough, enough?
Through the tragic events of these
school shootings, and the hardships that
many friends and families have been
through because of them, it is of my ut-
most pleasure to be able to say that our
community has not given up. Our com-
munity of students, staff and ordinary
citizens all over the country have sus-
tained such a strong and powerful
movement that is almost impossible to
ignore. I am filled with hope, and I only
wish that all of you gain the same
amount, if not more.
Our time is now. Our time of reflec-
tion has ended. Our time of immunity,
numbness and helplessness is gone. It is
now our turn to fight. It is now our time
to come together as the vocal society we
are, and push back the concept of “wait-
ing it out.”
Around 80 percent of Americans be-
READERS’ COMMENTS
lieve in striving for more strict and ac-
tive gun control laws, but the opposing
20 unfortunately holds the greater
amount of power and control. We can-
not let them win. We cannot simply say
and hope and wish for action to take
place, we must do it ourselves.
Time after time the NRA succeeds in
their stability of freedom of gun posses-
sion. We sit back and watch the same
old useless routine fly by. We mourn,
we attempt to find a voice, then finally
are forced to accept the fact that it has
passed, and there is little that can possi-
bly be done to make a change.
But I stand here today in front of my
country and say, “no more.” No more
force of submission. No more force of
moving on. The only force that should
have a hold on us is the fact that we are
forced to do nothing but take action.
I challenge the broken hearts. I chal-
lenge the students. I even challenge the
unaffected, to rise up and take action on
the epidemic that we face today. Let us
show some true character.
From the country built upon freedom
of speech, let us one day not face the
worldwide stereotype of every single
person in the USA owning a gun. Allow
us, allow yourself, to end it all. Thank
you.

Safety solutions
Dear Editor:
Instead of bigotry and the shameless
manipulation of teenagers in getting
them to fight against their own civil
rights, how about some solutions based
in reality?
First and foremost, teach gun safety
to students. Pretending that students
won’t encounter a firearm and/or
weapon (spoons, steak knives, sports
equipment, hammers, etc.) means
you’re living in a bubble and short-
changing their safety. And the lessons
should not be treated like sex ed, where
one or two hours in the fifth grade
should “be enough” to last a lifetime.
Second, have truthful conversations
and practice about firearms, weapons,
self defense, being in charge of their
own safety in public, law, the actual job
of the police and our government, how
not to “mess with people,” the power
that a group can have when working to-
gether, and how to expose and handle
bullies (take away their power).
When students realize that no one has
a duty to protect them, they will start
thinking and acting differently towards
bullies, politicians and haters.
Third, and very much needed, recog-
nize and practice logic and the different
forms of argument. These lessons will
help immensely toward thinking and ex-
posing institutionally-tiered citizenship
(politicians, agents of the state and then
us), gun control emotionalism and other
hateful political agendas that try to tell
them what they think is best for them.
The hard part here is finding a board
of education that values student safety

Thoughts on gun violence, gender and arts in schools
by Mike Boos
W
ith the recent mass
shooting at Marjory
Stoneman Douglas
High School, a national debate
is raging over what to do. Is it
possible we are truly ready to
enact meaningful gun control
laws and move beyond patron-
izing thoughts and prayers,
and feigned references to men-
tal health? The political odds
are still stacked against that.
There are important steps to be taken,
steps which most other advanced nations
seem to have already figured out, like
stricter gun laws, including universal
background checks and banning civilian
access to weapons of war.
As Sisyphean a task as it may seem, it
is my belief we must get started on a ho-
listic, bottom up approach. I ask that we
also consider a couple of far less frequently
discussed topics, which I believe have had
a profound, long term impact not only on
gun violence, but on the overall wellness
of our nation: gender and the arts.
Our society is fractured, and nowhere
is it more evident than in the preponder-
ance of mass shootings perpetrated almost
exclusively by boys and men. Ninety
percent of all murders are committed by
men and an astounding 97 percent of mass
shooters are male. Why is this? Is it nature
or nurture? Much research suggests that it
is both. What can be done?
There is not much I suppose we can do
about genetics, other than be aware of how
they relate to external forces, and empha-
size those forces that encourage less so-
ciopathic behavior. For example, British
neuroscientist James Fallon discovered al-
most by accident he had the same brain and

For a whole generation of American
children, the arts have been relegated to
“extra-curricular” status, in favor of more
“academic, knowledge-based” subjects.
Now I’ve got nothing against these other
subjects, which are also hampered by cer-

damentalist forces, but for kids to be ed-

we rely on parent-funded after-school

which many families simply can’t afford.
This has been a costly mistake.

Meals on Wheels to host volun-
teer recognition dinner
Claremont Meals on Wheels, a nonprofit organiza-
tion dedicated to delivering meals to home-bound sen-
ior citizens, is celebrating its 45th year of serving the
community and will host its annual recognition dinner
to honor volunteers.
“It’s important we show our gratitude to the people
who selflessly devote their time to helping those who
can’t help themselves,” said Ethel Rogers, president of
Meals on Wheels, “We owe them this much.”
A Claremont City Council representative will be
awarding Meals on Wheels with a certificate recogniz-
ing its 45 years of service during the dinner. Volunteers
will also be awarded for the number of years they have
served. More than 100 volunteers and their guests are
invited to partake in the evening. Volunteers’ ages range
from eight to 95 years old.
The dinner will be taking place at 5 p.m. on April 4
at the DoubleTree in Claremont.
The recognition dinner is hosted annually with the
help of the Claremont community, including the Dou-
bleTree, and many local businesses donate supplies or
prizes to be raffled. All volunteers are guaranteed at
least one prize.
Claremont Meals on Wheels was established in 1973
with the goal to bring warm, freshly-made meals to
people who are unable to cook or leave their homes.
Today, Meals on Wheels has more than 50 clients, more
than 100 volunteers, and has served more than 10,000
meals this past year. Meals are delivered Monday
through Friday year-round, including holidays. Clare-
mont Meals on Wheels is run entirely by volunteers and
is funded by donations alone.

“I have strong personal ties with the Rialto Unified
School District, having attended elementary, middle
and high school in Rialto,” says Kim Nguyen, fourth-
year doctor of pharmacy student and co-creator of
PharmCAMP. “Students sometimes lack the confidence
and support needed to realize their potential, and I hope
PharmCAMP provides them the push they need to suc-
ceed.”
Other activities included compounding ice cream and
learning how to extract DNA from fruits to treat rare
diseases.
“What’s really fulfilling is that PharmCAMP allows
our KGI pharmacy students to bond with the commu-
nity,” Ms. Nguyen said. “It prepares us to help diverse
and underserved populations.”

Marilyn “Lynn” Kirkendall
Great grandmother, world traveler, volunteer, magician’s assistant
Longtime Claremont resident Marilyn
“Lynn” Kirkendall died after a short ill-
ness on February 25, 2018 at the age of
91 while vacationing in one of her fa-
vorite places, New Orleans, Louisiana.
She was born June 10, 1926, in St.
Louis, Missouri, the oldest of five chil-
dren. She taught at Arthur Murray Dance
Studio, was a model, and at 19 became
an assistant to famed magician Harry
Blackstone Sr. She spent a year traveling
by train with Mr. Blackstone, mostly in
the eastern part of the US. Her main act
was levitation, but she also performed
others, including being sawed in half. De-
spite the many pleas of her family and
children to reveal the secrets behind the
tricks, to her last days she demurred, al-
ways saying with a smile, “It was magic.”
She belonged to Youth of Unity church
organization, and attended the group’s
national conference at Unity Farm near
Lee’s Summit, Missouri in the summer
of 1947, where she won a bathing beauty
contest. The group’s president, Richard
“Dick” Kirkendall, was to “kiss and
crown” the winner, which was how she
met the man who would become her hus-
band.
She had plans to travel to California
after the conference to visit the sister of
her boyfriend at the time (who was Mr.
Kirkendall’s best friend). Her boyfriend
had to stay behind in Missouri to com-
plete some church work, so she hitched a
ride to California with Mr. Kirkendall and
some others to help defray the cost of
gasoline.
Once in California, Mr. Kirkendall of-
fered to show her around Los Angeles,
and before long they fell in love. They
married in Los Angeles in 1948, and cel-
ebrated their 70th wedding anniversary
this past January.
The Kirkendall’s four children, Rick,
Jeff, Linda and Brad, were born between
1949 and 1957. The young family lived
for a brief time in Missouri, where Rick
was born. In 1950 they moved to Lyn-
wood, California, where Mrs. Kirkendall
worked in the office of the physician who
would later deliver the couple’s three
youngest children.
The family relocated to Claremont in
1963 when Mr. Kirkendall was hired as
principal of Sycamore Elementary
School. He later went on to become
Claremont Unified School District’s
deputy superintendent and then superin-
Pamela Osborne
A celebration of life for former Claremont resident
Pamela Osborne, who died in October 2015, is
scheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday, March 24. Those in-
tendent, retiring in 1987. During this
time, Mrs. Kirkendall was a gracious
hostess to many district staff members
and other educational professionals at
their home.
She was an avid seamstress, and in the
late 1960s purchased Four Seasons Fab-
ric Store in Chino, which she owned and
operated for several years. She taught
small business administration and sewing
classes at Tri-Community and Claremont
adult schools as well as sewing and cro-
chet at Express Sew in Claremont.
She was the Claremont United Church
of Christ moderator in the 1990s, when
the church was building its new sanctuary
organ, and was very proud to have played
a role in assisting during this time.
After her youngest child went off to

CHS wins hard-fought match, raising record to 9-6

C
laremont had a pretty tough time
putting Anaheim away Wednes-
day evening, even though they did
it in straight sets, 25-21, 25-23, and 25-14.
In fact, the Colonists were ahead 13-9 in the first
set, and seemed to have momentum before Claremont
made a late run assisted by Caedin Miller’s five kills.
Miller would stack on another seven kills over the
course of the night for game high 12.
“He is a good kid and hard worker,” Coach Bernie
Wendling said of Miller’s performance.
The second set was the most entertaining, with the
score tied three times, including in
the closing moments when Ana- SPORTING
heim came back from a three-point LIFE
deficit. However, Claremont took command and
Chasen Greene got a solid kill to put the set in the
books.
The final set was more lopsided as the Anaheim
boys could sense this one was slipping away.
“We didn’t play our best [tonight], but we had a
great tournament over the weekend. We played some
outstanding teams, so that raised our level. Now,
when we play someone who isn’t quite as strong, we
tend to play at their level,” Coach Wendling said.
“We played San Clemente and lost in two sets, (29-
27 and 25-23). They are a really strong south [Or-
ange] County team, so it forced us to raise the level of
our game. But we are still learning. That is the only
thing I want to see, is for us to bring our ‘A’ game all
of the time.”
It was an interesting contrast in styles on Wednes-

Farmers market moves to Harvard, but is it permanent?
Pink trumpet trees make for a spectacular canopy
over the Claremont Farmers Market on Sunday in its
new location on Harvard Avenue.
T
he sky may have been threatening,
but the people were friendly as the
Claremont Farmers and Artisans
Market got into action on Sunday morn-
ing in the Village.
The event is sponsored by the Claremont Forum
and has been a weekend staple for 18 years. However,
in January a Southern California Edison construction
project forced the market to move from its home at
Second Street adjacent to Indian Hill Boulevard.
They applied for, and received, a temporary permit
to move the weekly market to Harvard Avenue be-
tween First Street and Bonita Avenue.
Harvard is wider and the market now covers two
blocks instead of one so, not surprisingly, almost
everyone is thrilled with the new location. Now they
want to stay there permanently.
“Everybody loves this,” said Oscar De Leon, who
manages the market for the Claremont Forum. “The
space on Second had become too tight, here we have
added vendors while others got to expand.”
One of the new vendors is Gaytan Family Farm of
Riverside, which was doing a brisk business in veg-
etables and fruit. Their fresh strawberries were partic-
ularly popular.
“It’s a nice market,” Maricela Gaytan said as she
helped a customer with his purchase. “We would re-

ally like to stay.”
In order for Ms. Gayton and others to remain, Mr.
De Leon has to get approval from the traffic and
transportation commission to keep the market on Har-
vard. On Monday he was able to secure an extension
for the temporary permit through the end of May.
Another new seller is Brian Griffith, who offers cit-
rus and avocados he grows on two acres in Riverside.
Mr. Griffith is a relative newcomer to farming,
launching his business five years ago after getting laid
off from his high school teaching job.
“My customers get to try something fresh, not
processed, they come back time and again for that,”
he said.

“Smaller farmers have an opportunity to get more
for their product at these markets. Here, I get about a
dollar per pound, whereas the big distributor pays
pennies per pound.”
With the extra money, he provides employment for
two pickers and three to four sales people.
As visitors enter the market, they are welcomed by
a banner that reads, “Every Sunday rain or shine,” and
“Buy local, buy fresh, buy from the farmer.” The new
location adds something else, it just has a more of a
Claremont feel. Maybe it is the trees,
O
n Sunday the trees were putting
on quite the show, with pink
trumpets in full bloom and the
camphors creating an arched canopy over
the street. The beauty of the trees and the
potential for summertime shade are other
reasons that Mr. De Leon prefers the new
location.
According to Assistant to the City Manager Jamie
Harvey, the potential relocation of the market is
treated as new event as opposed to just moving an ex-
isting one. It’s more than just a matter of shutting
down two blocks in the Village but a “complex traffic
control plan,” she said.
Nonetheless, it is scheduled for the commission’s
April meeting and if they agree—and no one files an
appeal—then the market should be allowed to stay.
“Permanent move paperwork has to go through the
traffic commission in April. We still have some addi-
tional documents we need to turn in, but we keep
moving forward,” Mr. De Leon said.
Back at the market, Ontario resident Leon Chen and
his friend, Hong Kong resident Virginia Fung, were
shopping at Jerry Blake’s Bare Bees Honey stand. The
pair browsed for a while as Mr. Blake explained how
the honey takes on different flavors depending on
which type of flowers are blooming near the hives.
“The whole farmers market is really great,” Ms.
Chen said as she bought some wildflower honey. “We
don’t have this in Hong Kong.”

Ganzeer’s wide-ranging output, including
installations, prints, paintings, videos, ob-
jects, guerrilla actions in public space, writ-
ing and comics. Art in America has referred
to his practice as “New realism.” The Huff-

gested that he may be one of “5 comic book

SPEECH The Marian Miner Cook

Michael Zuckert. Freedom of speech, es-
pecially on campuses, is again a subject of
intense discussion and debate. Complicating
the discord, according to Mr. Zuckert, pro-
fessor of political science at the Universi-
ty of Notre Dame, is that the accepted doc-
trines of free speech have undergone
many transformations and several varieties
of speech doctrine now coexist—and of-
ten conflict—each claiming allegiance to
a distinctive conception of free speech. Mr.
Zuckert will address the development of the
different speech doctrines by considering
political and philosophic reasons as well as
the implications associated with the dif-
ferent versions of free speech doctrine. He
is the Nancy R. Dreux Professor of Polit-
ical Science at University of Notre Dame.
His main scholarly work has been in the ar-
eas of early modern political philosophy,
and constitutional law and history; he has
written widely in these areas. His books in-
clude Natural Rights and the New Re-
publicanism, The Natural Rights Re-
public, Launching Liberalism, and Leo
Strauss and the Problem of Political Phi-
losophy. He is now completing a book ti-

THURSDAY, MARCH
TALK: VIDEO GAMES AND AN-
22
CIENT PLACES Honnold/Mudd Li-
brary’s Claremont Discourse: Media Mat-
ters free and open to the public lecture se-
ries brings “Video Game Technology and
the Interpretation of Ancient Places” to the
Claremont University Consortium, 800
Dartmouth Ave., Claremont, from 4:15 to
6 p.m. “Archaeological sites are charac-
teristically imbued with a multiplicity of
meanings contingent on the specificities of
the society, time, space and affordances of
the representational medium through which
these places are perceived,” a press release
read. “Using the ancient settlement of
Sirkap as a case study, Professor Daniel Mi-
chon will try to demonstrate that thinking
about theories of space and place encour-
ages us to experiment with various repre-
sentational media. This experimentation can
result in alternative interpretations of ar-
chaeological records as represented in
John Hubert Marshall’s Taxila: An Illus-
trated Account of Archaeological Ex-
cavations Carried Out at Taxila under
the Orders of the Government of India
between the Years 1913 and 1934.”

AMERICA’S TRIBAL UNIVERSITY
FAILINGS The Marian Miner Cook
Athenaeum at Claremont McKenna Col-
lege, 385 E. Eighth St., hosts a free 5:30
p.m. lecture, “The Rise and Fall of a
Tribal Species: Why America and its Uni-
versities are Malfunctioning,” with guest
speaker Jonathan Haidt. “The human
mind is finely tuned for tribal conflict,” a
press release read. “America’s founders
knew this and designed a system that would
reduce the damage done by factionalism.
We had a great run. But now a variety of
social, technological, and intellectual trends
are amplifying our tribal tendencies, with
alarming implications for the future.” Mr.
Haidt, social psychologist at the New
York University, will use moral psychol-
ogy to analyze recent trends in politics, and
in university life and recommend reforms
that might help adapt our universities and
our politics to an age of polarization and
perpetual outrage. Mr. Haidt is a social psy-
chologist whose research focuses on moral-
ity—its emotional foundations, cultural
variations, and developmental course. He
began his career studying the negative
moral emotions, such as disgust, shame, and
vengeance, but then moved on to the un-
derstudied positive moral emotions, such
Claremont COURIER/Friday, March 16, 2018 19
as admiration, awe, and moral elevation.
He is the Thomas Cooley Professor of Eth-
ical Leadership at New York University’s
Stern School of Business. Mr. Haidt was
named a “top 100 global thinker” in 2012
by Foreign Policy magazine, and one of the
65 “World Thinkers of 2013” by Prospect.
He is the author of more than 90 academ-
ic articles and two books: The Happiness
Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in
Ancient Wisdom, and The New York
Times bestseller The Righteous Mind:
Why Good People are Divided by Pol-
itics and Religion. Professor Haidt’s
Athenaeum presentation is co-sponsored
by the President’s Leadership Fund. More

FRIDAY, MARCH
THE HIGH PRICE OF INNOVATIVE
23
THERAPIES The Marian Miner Cook
Athenaeum at Claremont McKenna Col-
lege, 385 E. Eighth St., hosts a free 11:45
a.m. lecture, “Innovation Dilemma: Access
and Innovation in an age of Curative
Therapies,” with guest speaker Amitabh
Chandra. “Science discoveries along with
generous incentives for producing new
medical innovations have created a raft of
high-priced therapies,” a press release
read. “Their presence strains the ability of
payers to provide access, especially when
there has been little income growth for a
large share of the population, and when tax-
revenues are projected to fall substantial-
ly in coming decades. These pressures will
be exacerbated as the world sees the first-
wave of curative therapies for monogenic
diseases like cystic fibrosis and Duchenne
muscular dystrophy.” Mr. Chandra, pro-
fessor of social policy and director of health
policy research at Harvard’s Kennedy
School of Government, will discuss these
tradeoffs and offer polices to address
them. He is the chair editor of the Review
of Economics and Statistics. Mr. Chandra
is an elected member of the National
Academy of Medicine, the first-prize re-
cipient of the Upjohn Institute’s Disserta-
tion Award, the Kenneth Arrow Award for
best paper in health economics, and the Eu-
gene Garfield Award for the impact of med-
ical research. More information is at

Address or other common designation of real property:
5944 S Wilton Place, Los Angeles, CA 90047 A.P.N.:
6001-007-037 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any
liability for any incorrectness of the street address or
other common designation, if any, shown above. The
sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, ex-
pressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or en-
cumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the
note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust with interest
thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, under the
terms of said Deed of Trust, fees, charges and expenses
of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of
Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the ob-
ligation secured by the property to be sold and reason-
able estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time
of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is:
$ 458,840.91. Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves
the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possi-
ble that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less
than the total debt. If the Trustee is unable to convey
title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and
exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid
to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no
further recourse. The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust
has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written
request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned
caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be
recorded in the county where the real property is located.
NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE NOTICE TO PO-
TENTIAL 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. Plac-
ing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not auto-
matically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the
property. You should also be aware that the lien being
auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest
bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for
paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off,
before you can receive clear title to the property. You are
encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size
of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by
contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insur-
ance 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. NO-
TICE 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 post-
poned, and, if applicable, 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.alti-
source.com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/Tru
steeServices.aspx using the file number assigned to this
case 2016-01853-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.

title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and
exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid
to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no
further recourse. The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust
has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written
request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned
caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE NOTICE TO PO-
TENTIAL 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. Plac-
ing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not auto-
matically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the
property. You should also be aware that the lien being
auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest
bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for
paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off,
before you can receive clear title to the property. You are
encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size
of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by
contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insur-
ance 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. NO-
TICE 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 post-
poned, and, if applicable, 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.alti-

steeServices.aspx using the file number assigned to this
case 2017-02812-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
attend the scheduled sale. Western Progressive, LLC,

TICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are con-
sidering bidding on this property lien, you should un-
derstand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee
auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the prop-
erty itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does
not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership
of the property. You should also be aware that the lien be-
ing 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, priority, and
size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property
by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title in-
surance 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. NO-
TICE 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 post-
ponements be made available to you and to the public,
as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish
to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and,
if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale
of this property, you may call (866)-960-8299 or visit this

“We have recently completed our fifth transaction with Geoff Hamill over the past 20 years. Once again, he surpassed our expectations! Our
house sold quickly and well above asking price. Geoff's knowledge of Claremont and the surrounding area is superior, and he is a consummate
professional. He takes the time to answer even the smallest questions, and has a reassuring and calm demeanor. Because Geoff is a Claremont
native, he knows the history of what seems like EVERY house in town. Very entertaining!! Sadly, we have moved out of the area, but we are very
hopeful that we will get to work with Geoff again sometime in the future” —M. & E. Strange
“Geoff Hamill was the agent for the sale of my Claremont Village home, and he made the experience pleasant and stress free. He and attends to
every detail of the listing and sale promptly, and I believe that he represented me as well as possible. Geoff was considerate and gave me good
advice for staging and preparing my home for sale. I believe his expertise and connections in my neighborhood and Claremont in general are the
best. I recommend him without reservation” —J. Spera & A. Conway

none. We could not recommend him highly enough.” —J. & L. Romo
