Accord-ing to the city, four different arborists have made independent inspections and each found evidence of termite dam-age, significant rotting and bleeding, which is a sign of dead wood and decay within the heartwood of the tree.

Memory laneDear Editor:

There was an admirable article in theSeptember 18 COURIER about CHS Prin-cipal Brett O’Connor reminding studentsto show courtesy to the visiting DamienHigh School football team and fans. Also,the Los Angeles Times wrote an articleabout God and the outcome of games.

It brought back memories of my highschool football experience in the late 1950s.Those were pre-Damien years when, atPomona Catholic High School, we playedagainst teams like Mater Dei. Game prepa-ration included saying the rosary to be cer-tain “God was on our side.”

I also recall chanting “Kill Mater Dei”and “beat Mater Dei” at rallies of niceCatholic boys and girls. (Mater Dei is Latintranslated to “Mother of God.”)

In retrospect, it’s no wonder we tied onceand lost twice, considering our ironic de-sire to kill and beat God’s mother.

Questions of ownershipDear Editor:

I walked around the Village again thismorning. I realized I have a lot of supposi-tions about property around here.

I remember the flap about the HahnBuilding at Harrison and Harvard, and thatthe land was to be left as an urban forest bythe owners of that property in their will. Sodid there have to be a change in zoning tobuild a school structure there, let alone anystructure at all? What’s the zoning on thesports lot at First and Harvard? Does col-lege ownership preclude a zoning changenecessity? And the cottages on the westside of College Avenue are both collegeproperty and zoned residential, I guess.Does the whole block have to be re-zoned?Do we vote on re-zoning?

There are four period houses on the eastside of Harvard between Shelton Park andFourth Street. These are supposedly col-lege-owned and house College person-nel—as well as the one house on Fourtharound the corner. But they must be city-zoned for residential, I suppose.

I’ve also heard that whenever there is ahouse for sale near the Village, the Collegesare the usual and top bidders and there is alot of residential property that is college-owned dotting the town. Where do zoningrights stop for the city of Claremont? Whatgoes over the line? Is this business aboutthe new Museum of Art due to pop up onthe west side of College just a zoningchange away from happening? And if ithappens, how far into the Village does it ul-timately go? Last wills didn’t seem to stopHahn from rising.

I’m really torn between charming city-hood and the thrill of watching a new build-ing go up on the campuses. Who’s runningout of room—charming city or fabulouscollege architecture? Guess they need anew art venue with all the newest conser-vation bells and whistles, but that’s theirproblem. Why does it have to be the prob-lem of the city? Do they own that muchproperty in the Village? Helen Feller

Climate observationsDear Editor:

In my letter of September 18, I describedthe unusual sight of snow on the summit ofMt. Baldy while the temperature in the val-ley was 102 degrees.

“What Climate Change?” was a farcicalquestion based on my incredulity that any-one could possibly believe that somethingisn’t amiss when it snows in Septemberhere in Claremont. A little irony is a dan-gerous thing!

I appreciate Professor Trent’s observa-tions and fully realize that anecdotal evi-dence observed on the local scale does notmake the case for global climate change.

However, I do believe that it is throughthe observation of small anomalies—a fruittree blooming weeks earlier than ever be-fore, the thinning of ice on a local pond orsnow in September—that we as individualscome to accept the validity of climatechange. Such evidence is not strictly scien-tific but it may be the “proof” that eventu-ally stirs millions of Americans to actionbecause they can see the consequences intheir own community. Mark Merritt

Friday, September 25Just before 5 p.m., 36-year-old Sa-

lome Rodriguez casually walked intothe Chase bank, located on the 800block of south Indian Hill, to allegedlycash a stolen check. The Pomona resi-dent’s plan quickly unraveled when theteller contacted the victim of the theft,who confirmed it was stolen. When of-ficers arrived on the scene, Mr. Ro-driguez confessed to having a methpipe in his pocket, according to Lieu-tenant Mike Ciszek. Officers also foundtwo more stolen checks and a walletbelonging to a second victim. It getsworse from there: Mr. Rodriguez waswanted in San Bernardino County forallegedly stealing a trailer with $40,000worth of belongings, including thechecks, from the first victim. Mr. Ro-driguez was transferred to SanBernardino County to face charges.

* * * *At the Bank of America on the 300

block of Yale, a customer was using anoutdoor ATM at approximately 7:30p.m. when 23-year-old Brett Kaplan ofChino Hills bumped into her, distract-ing her from what she was doing.When she forgot to log out after leavingthe ATM, Mr. Kaplan allegedlyswooped in and withdrew $400 fromher account, according to Lt. Ciszek.The victim called the police when she

realized what happened, but Mr. Ka-plan was nowhere to be found. Thenext day, however, Mr. Kaplan commit-ted a rookie mistake: returning to thescene of the crime to try it again. Thistime officers caught him, and he wassent to the Claremont Police Depart-ment jail to face charges.

Saturday, September 26A knockdown, drag-out fight took

place in the parking lot of Piano Piano,leading to several arrests. The brawlbegan at approximately 2:20 a.m., when22-year-old Raymond Ramirez ofDowney was kicked out of the bar forgetting a little too drunk. His responsewas to sucker-punch two of the securityguards. Mr. Ramirez’s posse, which in-cluded 21-year-old Joshua Ramirez, 22-year-old Joseph Ramirez, 27-year-oldErnie Ramirez and 24-year-old HenryValencia, began fighting with the twosecurity guards, spilling out into theparking lot.

When officers arrived at the Clare-mont hot spot, all members of theRamirez clan (as well as Mr. Valencia)were placed under arrest, with ErnieRamirez and Mr. Valencia gettingpicked up for outstanding warrants.They were transported to the CPD jail,where they were booked and releasedwith notices to appear. One of the secu-

rity guards was issued a citation for al-legedly battering a woman during thefight.

Sunday, September 27We all have our bad days. Sometimes

we deal with them by breathing deeplyand counting to 10, and sometimes weunload on random cars with a squeegeein the middle of the street. JenniferWilliams unfortunately took the latterroute. Officers responded to the inter-section of Foothill Boulevard andTowne Avenue after they were alertedto the 42-year-old Pomona residentswinging at cars with a squeegee in thesouthbound left turning lane on Towne.When officers asked Ms. Williams whyshe was lashing out in such a way, sheclaimed an unknown man attacked her.She declined to name or press chargesagainst her alleged assailant. When of-ficers asked Ms. Williams how muchshe had to drink, she held out herthumb and index finger to indicatedabout three inches. She was taken intocustody for public intoxication to spenttime in the drunk tank.

* * * *Two tailgates from two separate Ford

trucks were stolen around the sametime between late Sunday night andearly Monday morning. The first inci-dent occurred on the 2400 block ofBonnie Brae. Sometime during thenight, unknown thieves removed thetailgate of a black F250 and made their

escape. The tailgate was valued at$750. The same night, a group of un-known thieves stole the tailgate off anF150, which was parked on the 2200block of Brescia. The second Ford’stailgate was valued at $650. There havebeen no leads on suspects. Anyone withinformation should call Claremont po-lice at (909) 399-5411.

Monday, September 28In what could only be described as a

complete fiasco, officers responded to anoise complaint on the 2100 block ofGrand to find a gentleman who did notwant to cooperate with police. Theman, identified as 40-year-old JasonRose of Upland, attempted to flee offi-cers during a lawful detention. The offi-cers chased Mr. Rose into a bathroom,where a struggle ensued. Mr. Rose thenpulled out a concealed hunting knife,which resulted in him getting the Taserfrom one of the officers. To make mat-ters worse, Mr. Rose’s girlfriend, iden-tified as 45-year-old Angelica Vargas ofClaremont, approached an officer frombehind and grabbed him by the neck topush him away. Both Mr. Rose and Ms.Vargas were arrested and pinned with anumber of charges, including assaultwith a deadly weapon, conspiracy tocommit assault on a police officer, con-spiracy to commit assault and disrupt-ing behavior.

POLICE BLOTTER

Claremont police arrested an ElMonte man after a brief pur-suit on Claremont Boulevard

Tuesday morning. Anthony Ramirez, 26, was driving a dark red

Toyota Corolla that was reported stolen out ofEl Monte, Claremont Police Lieutenant AaronFate told the COURIER. Mr. Ramirez was onAndrew Street when he noticed a passing po-lice car and fled, reaching speeds close to 50mph.

The chase came to an almost immediate endon the 1400 block of Claremont Boulevard atapproximately 10:45 a.m., when Mr. Ramirezpulled the car to the side of the road. Officers atthe scene conducted a high-risk traffic stop withguns drawn as soon as the car was pulled over.

Up to eight officers were on the scene, in-cluding a police helicopter surveying the area.

A passenger in the Corolla was briefly de-tained and released without any charges, ac-cording to Lt. Fate. Mr. Ramirez is now facingcharges of grand theft auto and leading policeon a pursuit.

Claremont residentswere given the oppor-tunity to engage with

the city on the specifics of theClaremont Hills WildernessPark Master Plan Mondayevening.

The event was an effort to inform res-idents about the future of the park andprovide a venue for public comment.Held at Taylor Hall, it was structured asan open forum, with tables dedicated toeach part of the master plan set uparound the hall’s perimeter.

Claremont Public Information OfficerBevin Handel praised the nontraditionalformat. “We’re hoping it gets more of adialogue going,” Ms. Handel said.

The event centered on the ClaremontWildlands Conservancy’s response tothe city’s massive master plan for theCHWP. In a packet sent out prior to themeeting, the CWC outlined what theyagreed and disagreed with in the plan.

For the majority of the response, theCWC agreed with the city plan, laudingits goals of enhanced public outreach,creating a “Friends of the CHWP” groupand restricting parking along the southend of Via Padova.

However, there were a few issues theCWC had with the master plan, namely

the city’s recommendation to change thename from the Claremont Hills Wilder-ness Park to the Claremont Hills Wilder-ness Area. According to CWC PresidentLissa Petersen, it makes no sense to re-name the park as an area, claiming theexisting structures around the CHWPdesignate it as a park.

Also at odds with the CWC was thecity’s suggestion to raise the four-hourdaily parking fee from $3 to $5 and theannual fee from $100 to $140.

“If prices are raised, there will be morelow-income people from the region whocome to the park regularly who will findit much harder to use the park,” Ms. Pe-

tersen said. “So when we support access,raising the fees limits access.”

Claremont Assistant City ManagerColin Tudor claimed raising the pricesfor access to the park is a necessity toinitiate changes outlined in the masterplan such as turnstiles at the entrance, aspike strip in the parking lot, restrooms,trail maintenance and park rangers’paychecks.

“We were looking at how we candrive more revenue so we have enoughmoney to pay for these enhancements onan ongoing basis,” Mr. Tudor said.

Throughout the event, Claremonterswere encouraged to engage with cityrepresentatives who were stationed ateach booth. Comment cards by atten-dees were filled out and given to city of-ficials for further review.

“We’re going to take all the commentsback and start looking at them, evaluat-ing what we can go through,” Mr. Tudorsaid. “We’ve got a lot of really goodcomments, a lot of insightful ideas, andwe want to go back and see what we canchange to make it a better plan.”

This is the third community meetinginvolving the master plan, another stepforward in crafting a concrete blueprintthat, according to the city and the CWC,is meant to last at least 20 years.


Ideas abound as city gets feedback on park master plan

CITY NEWS

COURIER photos/Steven FelschundneffCity Engineer Maria Tipping speaks with Claremont resident Beverly Speak as her granddaughter Savannah Speak fills out a comment card on Monday during apublic meeting to review the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park Master Plan.

Claremont resident Richard Chavez takes notes while reviewing the displaysduring a public meeting to review the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park Master Plan.Mr. Chavez is a resident of Adirondack Lane, which is directly across from thepark’s main entrance.

It’s a project that “would violate thecharacter and destroy the history ofClaremont.”

That’s not all. “Here’s the reason for the proposed lo-cation: somebody has a lot of money to put into a proj-ect and they want it to be in the most prominentlocation with their name on it. In contrast, the statedreason for locating it there are weak.”

To top it off, if the man proposing the project “trulybelieves the proposed changes would ‘not be a dra-matic change,’ he must either be delusional or is lying.”

Who is this guy? This shifty conniver out to pull oneover on Claremont. The guy who wants to pull thewool over our eyes and sell Claremont, with all its richand unique history and character, down the river? Whatis this big-money project, focused on a prime location,that is being foisted on us? Who is going to “violate”and “destroy” Claremont with their pet project?

It could be Walmart—yes, Walmart, trying to build amegastore in the Village. Yes, Walmart wants to put abig-box emporium in the Village, and woe to the shopsleft to try to compete. Or perhaps it’s a gas refinery or apower plant. Or perhaps it’s General Motors wanting tobuild a distribution center—or even a factory, heavenforbid—in Claremont.

It could be. That’s what it sounds like in the letter inthese pages about a month ago. But it’s not.

The man who “must either be delusional or is lying”(either way, he’s not someone to be relied on or trusted)is David Oxtoby, the president of Pomona College.And the project, which will “violate the character anddestroy the history of Claremont,” is a new art museumthe college wants to build.

More specifically, the college wants to raze the old,small college-owned bungalows on the corner of Col-lege and Bonita Avenues behind the Claremont libraryand build a new museum. The new museum will re-place Montgomery Art Gallery, which is deemed out-dated and cramped and will reportedly be torn downalong with the Thatcher Music Building next door onthe east side of College Avenue. The proposal has beendubbed by one man as “the Oxtoby Plan.”

No, this isn’t Walmart or an energy plant, but the let-ter-writer, Charles Hepperle, and others over the lastseveral months don’t see much difference. They tend tosee and portray Pomona College and President Oxtobyas a greedy and scheming entity with nefarious inten-tions to encroach on, if not invade, our town.

Although Mr. Hepperle questions the need for a newmuseum, going so far as to say, “This is a college art

museum, not a world-class gallery of masterpieces,”most of the concern has been not about the new mu-seum itself but about its placement on the west side ofCollege Avenue. As if in a desperate attempt to stop thespread of a maleficent blob, those who have expressedconcern point out that there are only houses along thewest side of College Avenue south of Fourth Street,with most suggesting that the museum be locatedwhere there is a baseball field on the northeast cornerof College Avenue and First Street (handily pointingout that the site isn’t far from the Metrolink station).Never mind that these houses and the land are ownedby Pomona College and mostly have institutional uses.

Pomona College isn’t the only murky entity appar-ently out to have its dubious way with Claremont. In alengthy Viewpoint on the next page in the same August28 COURIER edition, Claremont Lincoln University isput under a harsh light and suspected of having lessthan honorable intentions.

The new graduate school wants to expand and isproposing to build on land owned by the ClaremontUnified School District next to La Puerta Sports Park.In order for the plan to be feasible, according to CLU,the school wants to switch, or flip, property with thepark so that it will have an Indian Hill Boulevard ad-dress. This, posits the writer, Tony Neilpovich Sr., “is avery bad idea.”

Mr. Neilpovich not only presents a detailed list of thehardships and inconveniences the plan would entail forhim and the other neighbors (bright lights, partyingafter 9 p.m, remote-controlled aircraft with cameras,view of “public restrooms every time you open yourfront door,” etc.) He makes a point of saying that whenthe school’s architectural representive spoke about thebuilding’s height, “either he was being disingenuous orhe was demonstrating a new form of comedy,” whichis akin to saying Pomona College’s President Oxtoby“must either be delusional or is lying.”

It is also alleged that CLU is engaged in “all of thisglad-handing,” along with school district and city offi-cials, which “doesn’t pass the smell test.”

Is it not clear that the Colleges are some power-hun-gry entity that can’t be trusted and is out to have its

way and take over Claremont? If not, Mr. Neilpovichspells it out early in his piece: “Some of the colleges inClaremont may believe that they have enough cloutand leverage with the city to get what they want; per-haps they do, but not this time and not without a fight.”

Really? The Colleges are an evil force with “enoughclout and force to get what they want”? So much sothat the rest of us have to “fight” them off? This is war,with College Avenue roughly the line of battle? Really?

I wonder if many people remember, let alone miss,“the Woods.” This was a small grove of trees behindPomona College’s Carnegie Hall, north of FourthStreet on, yes, the west side of College Avenue. Whenthe college proposed razing a number (but not all) ofthe trees on this college-owned land to make way forthe Hahn building, there was considerable squawking,with concern that the Village would be ruined. Now thebuilding is just part of the Village environs. And notonly is it surrounded by a good number of trees, Iwould argue it is more attractive than the office build-ing along First Street and the bunker-like library, whichreplaced a previous charming building and which Mr.Hepperle labeled “brutalism-style” in his letter. (No, itdidn’t improve things when the copper band around theexterior turned green, as was promised or rumored atthe time).

The same can be said about Claremont GraduateUniversity’s Drucker building—another controversythat isn’t. There are plenty of others. And there was thestorm over the Bernard Field Station on the college-owned land along Foothill Boulevard. Yes, there was afight, but the Colleges didn’t really dig in their heelsand use their “clout and leverage with the city to getwhat they want.” The Keck Institute settled in at an-other location. (This could be what happens in the CLUcase.)

It is hard to believe that the Colleges are out to takeover Claremont and to “violate the character and de-stroy the history of Claremont.” Wouldn’t they wantClaremont to be a nice, unique, small college town thatis pleasant to live and work in?

After all, the Colleges are why Claremont is a nice,unique, small town. They put Claremont on the map.As Don Fisher pointed out in the same COURIER edi-tion, “the several Claremont Colleges are collectivelyan intrinsic and integral part of our lovely town.”

It goes without saying that the Colleges have muchinvested in this and in being part of “the character andhistory of Claremont.” Would they really mess it up?

“Same to you!”

Thank you, Roger SamuelDear Editor:

This is a posthumous thank you toRoger Samuel of Claremont, our very ownextraordinary musician, director, conduc-tor and founder of the Claremont YouthSymphony Orchestra.

After attending his services a few weeksago, and finding no other informationabout Roger in the weeks following, I feelcompelled to write this letter to thank himand to let Claremonters know of Roger’sdedication to the youth in our town and inthe region.

It was in the 1970s that we met Roger,when one of our daughters wanted to learnto play the French horn. Roger took oursecond grader and taught her the magicand pleasure of playing the brass instru-ment; our other daughter was playing hersmall violin.

Sometime in the early 1980s, Rogerstarted the Claremont Youth SymphonyOrchestra. Gary Ida, music director atClaremont High School, helped securethe band room at CHS for rehearsals eachweek. Roger started this group with onlystring instruments. Auditions were heldand string players were selected not onlyfrom Claremont, but from surroundingcounties. Parents were committed to driv-ing the distance to Claremont for weeklyrehearsals. This was a new concept forarea young musicians ages 8 to 20. Aftera year or two, Roger added the brass sec-tions and percussion to the Youth Orches-tra. Yes, the French horn student passed theaudition and joined her violinist sister.

The beginning years included a con-cert or two at Little Bridges and at leastone opportunity annually to play a concertwith the adults in the Claremont Sym-phony. Roger added the Village Venture tothe venue for the young musicians. I stillremember each Village Venture includedyoung musicians playing on Harvard orYale Avenue for the entire day. And Rogerwas always there, directing the ensemble.The Village Venture performances con-tinued for 20 to 30 years.

As years passed, and musicians gradu-ated and went off to college, the yearly au-ditions continued to find more musicians.The group grew and grew to resemble atrue Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra.

Roger—with his wife Janet ever at hisside helping—planned and executed nu-merous opportunitites for his young, largegroup of musicians. They even had occa-sions to play with the Los Angles Phil-harmonic Orchestra. I could close my eyesat the concert and believe the adult musi-cians were playing. The group was, and is,that accomplished.

During later years, Roger arranged forthe group to travel to Europe to performwith Philharmonics from other countries.What an experience for the young musi-cians! I do not remember how many yearshave passed—maybe 30 to 25 from theonset of the string ensemble—but I do re-member that Roger spent week after weekafter week, dedicated to searching for per-

formance opportunities and directing ouryouth to perfect their talents.

I sometimes wondered why Claremontnever recognized our own wonderful vol-unteer who dedicated decades to ouryouth, and at least had he and his wifeJanet lead a Fourth of July parade. Some-times recognition comes too late.

As a thankful parent, I just want to say,“Thank you, Roger!” Joyce Sauter

Yes on Measure PSDear Editor:

For the past 12 years, city commissionsand citizen committees have explored op-tions for constructing a new public safetyfacility that is now overdue. While the ex-isting police station has served us well forover 40 years, the building is no longersuitable for today’s police operations.

The community cannot continue to ig-nore the fact that our police force operatesin a facility that does not meet currentbuilding codes, including seismic safetystandards and the requirements of Amer-icans with Disabilities Act. The policeservice is too important for us to ignore.

We believe our community will join usin expressing our appreciation for the serv-ice of our police department. With thatappreciation, we recognize it is time toprovide a new public safety facility that issuitable for the department’s needs. Wesupport the city council’s unanimous de-cision to ask voters to approve an annual$286 parcel tax measure on the November3 ballot for funding the police facility’sconstruction. Such a decision is nevertaken lightly, but it is necessary to maintainpublic safety service from a secure and

suitable facility. With input from members of the public,

the council considered various fundingoptions and concluded that a parcel tax isthe most equitable option, because all non-government property owners includingresidents, businesses, colleges, churchesand nonprofit organizations pay equallyfor equal access to our police service.

We join the Public Safety Ad Hoc Com-mittee, the Police Commission, the CityCouncil and the Chamber of Commerce intheir determination that now is the time tofund a new facility. A yes vote on Meas-ure PS will guarantee that our excellentpolice service will be available to us in asecure building for years to come. It is aguarantee we deserve and must have.

Claremont is one of the safest commu-nities in southern California. We want tomaintain this high standard by giving ourofficers the space and tools they need to dotheir job for us.

We appreciate the leadership the coun-cil has shown on this issue. By placingMeasure PS on the November 3 ballot, thecity council is giving residents a say in ourcommunity’s security and well-being.

Having had the privilege to serve theresidents of Claremont, we understandfirsthand the difficult choices needed tosolve many issues facing the community.This is one of those choices, but one wemust make in order to ensure our publicsafety now and for future generations.

We support and urge a yes vote onMeasure PS on November 3, 2015.Richard Newton Diann RingKaren Rosenthal Suzan SmithSandy Baldonado Paul HeldEllen Taylor Linda ElderkinFrank Hungerford Bill McCready

Wilderness park master planDear Editor:

I grew up in a small Midwest town.Like most small towns throughoutAmerica, the business district was de-serted almost every weekday.

I remember just a few years ago wewere passing through one of the biggertowns in Wyoming on “Sidewalk Day,”and even though most of the stores hadtables on the sidewalk, the place waseerily quiet with hardly a shopper insight. In contrast, some towns in the USare more fortunate. They are locatednear a big attraction like a national parkor seashore, and their businesses arebustling with customers.

It is amazing to me to see Clare-mont’s vibrant business district with somany people that it is difficult to find aparking space almost any day of theweek. The scene is far different inneighboring cities. I’m sure there aremultiple factors that create such a suc-cessful downtown, but I have a sensethat few people in Claremont appreci-ate the fact that our town also has amajor attraction, one that results inabout 500,000 visits a year. This, ofcourse, is the Claremont Hills Wilder-ness Park.

If only 10 percent of these park visitsresult in someone patronizing a Clare-mont business, that would amount to50,000 shoppers and diners a year.There are hundreds of small towns thatwould be delighted if they had an at-traction that would generate as manypatrons for their businesses. This iswhy it is so important that the city cre-ate a master plan that, among otherthings, continues to encourage users tovisit the park. It is good for the city as awhole. It seems odd that we haven’thad much input from the Claremontbusinesses with regards to the masterplan.

As a board member of the ClaremontWildlands Conservancy for the pastyear, I have been intimately involvedwith the process of creating the city’smaster plan for the park. I have at-tended many meetings of our group,TAC meetings and neighborhood dis-cussions. I also spent several hourshelping to survey park users last sum-mer. I frequently hike in the park andhave read all of the letters written to theCOURIER.

There have been countless discus-sions about parking, preserving the en-

vironment, funding, bikers versus hik-ers, the need for restrooms and a myr-iad of other issues, all of which areimportant. But while the city is tryingto assess the countless details involvedin the creation of the master plan, itseems that nobody wants to step backand take an overall look at the positiveimpact the park has on Claremont as awhole.

It is possible that decisions made bythe city council concerning the wilder-ness park could have implications af-fecting the prosperity of Claremont. Forexample, the city’s proposal in the draftmaster plan to raise parking fees to $10on weekend mornings might have a se-rious negative impact on how manypeople from out of town visit the park.This “Congestion Pricing Program,”which is designed to redistribute visits,may have the unintended consequenceof actually discouraging visitors insteadof “redistributing” them.

It’s unfortunate that when surveyswere done of park users, there were noquestions designed to gauge how manypeople visited Claremont businessesbefore or after hiking or biking in thepark.

If decisions about park fees are pri-marily based upon the desire to placatethose Claremonters who would discour-age visitors to the park, those decisionsmay have harmful consequences for thecity as a whole. It would be far better tofirst gather data concerning the eco-nomic impact park users have on thecity and then make decisions aboutpricing rather than create policies withunknown consequences.

It is also important to point out that ifthe park continues to draw large num-bers of regional users, especially fromunderserved communities, it may bevery helpful in the future when attempt-ing to qualify for valuable grants to ex-pand the park and to implement theresource management plan proposed inthe draft.

Finally, at the present time, the park-ing fees generate about $350,000 a year,which represents the bulk of the fundsthat support management of the park.We must be careful not to put this cur-rent cash flow in jeopardy so that wehave adequate funds to properly main-

tain the park.The Claremont Hills Wilderness Park

is an extremely valuable asset for ourcommunity in many ways. A carefullycrafted master plan will be very impor-tant in ensuring the future prosperity ofClaremont and maintaining the successof the park for years to come.

Police Commissioners urgeyes on Measure PSDear Editor:

The Claremont Police Commissionwas formed in 2001 amidst tragedy andcontroversy, but has since become amodel of responsible civilian oversightin a city that prides itself on being re-sponsive to community concerns. Theseven of us have been chairs of thatcommission for more than 14 years andwe are proud of the progress that hasbeen made.

Although there is always more workto be done, we believe that the Clare-mont Police Department now hasstrong leadership, the highest profes-sional standards and a department andcity staff that are open to input and al-ways looking to improve. Claremontshould be proud of these achievementsand we are honored to have participatedin the process.

The police commission has beenaware from its beginnings that our po-lice department was working in anaging facility that was too small for thecurrent force and not able to utilize allof the modern technology adopted bythe best police departments. For thisreason, we encouraged the city to moveforward with plans for a new police fa-cility as soon as it was feasible.

Economic reversals intervened andrequired all of us to adapt, but we arepleased to hear that the city is now pro-posing to move forward with this im-portant project. A parcel tax proposalwill be brought before the voters in No-vember to address this need, and westrongly support the plan.

Claremont deserves the best in lawenforcement, and that includes a mod-ern police facility that will allow offi-cers to respond to community needs forthe next several decades. We believe

that city officials have done carefulplanning and have devised the fairestpossible financing proposal. We trustthat they will continue to work with thecommunity to design the right kind offacility at the right price for this city.

We urge all those who will be votingin November to support this process byvoting yes on Measure PS.Helaine Goldwater Richard FassKevin Arnold Carol PainterFrank Bedoya Barbara MusselmanSayeed Shaikh

Has VW forfeited its rights?Dear Editor:

The recent news that Volkswagen,now the world’s largest auto manufac-turer, has been intentionally and sys-tematically defrauding both theconsumers of our state and the laws ofour state by installing software to defeatanti-pollution measures is truly ap-palling.

These clearly intentional acts set thisparticular big business wrongdoingapart and separate from GM’s and Toy-ota’s recent screw ups.

VW may defend itself by saying, ineffect, “Well, no one died because ofthese actions.” If so, this should be re-jected out of hand. In an era of massiveclimate change and the imperative thatwe move beyond carbon as quickly aspossible, these actions by VW must beseen in the larger context of the struggleto shift from polluting to clean forms ofpersonal transportation.

In fact, VW, the damage you havedone is not only to your reputation, butalso to the integrity of the entire envi-ronmental movement. The disrespectVW has shown for our laws and the im-portance we place on a livable statemake this a special case for California.

Should VW be allowed to get awaywith it? Should just some monetaryfines and penalties be enough? I say no.We should not waste this opportunity toshow ourselves and the world that Cali-fornia intends to be a global leader inthe clean tech and renewable energyfields.

In this instance, we should make anexample of VW and ban this corporationfrom doing all business in California inthe future. In effect, this would be adeath sentence for VW in California,something they have earned and justlydeserve. Peter L. Coye

Why Measure PS isn’t right for Claremont Dear Editor:

As Mayor Corey Calaycay stated in hisViewpoint last week, the voters of Clare-mont will have the chance to decide on a$50 million parcel tax for a large new po-lice station.

The Claremont City Council selected aparcel tax to finance this to ensure, as themayor alleges, “that property owners, in-cluding churches, colleges and nonprofitorganizations, pay a fair share of the costsbecause they benefit equally from policeservices.” The council misses the mark onfairness.

The downside to a parcel tax is thatequality is based only on the parcel; forexample, the entire Super King shoppingcenter will pay the same as a single home-owner. Analysis of the parcel tax versus ageneral obligation bond shows that 71percent of the parcels in Claremont willpay more per year with this parcel tax, and48 percent will pay at least $100 more an-nually. Meanwhile, others will save thou-sands of dollars annually with threecommercial properties saving in excess of$11,000 each per year.

I was surprised to see that city leadersare including $3,789,500 in radio equip-ment over 40 years. Their financingmodel reveals these radios will have atotal cost of ownership of $9,056,905.Radio equipment is depreciated over fiveyears and has a useful life of seven years,according to the IRS. Claremonters willbe paying for this asset more than 30 years

after it has been retired. This decisionmeans that the tax payments from 792homes for those 30 years will be payingoff obsolete and retired assets.

The Measure CL school bond was de-feated when voters realized that a signifi-cant portion of the money there would beused for short-lived technology.

The mayor states that the police stationis to be 39,445 square feet, whereas thestaff report presented to council in Marchstates the building is to be 47,200 squarefeet. The approved plan includes another$2,135,000 support building of around10,000 square feet, additional squarefootage that Mayor Calaycay seems tohave overlooked.

Interestingly, the selected design is asingle-story building with a footprint asnearly the size of a football field underroof. The proposed station is 50 percentlarger than the station in Upland, whichhas a population double the size of ourcity. The Upland station was constructedin 1989 and complies with the EssentialServices Seismic Act of 1986. Whenerected, the population of Upland was 75percent more than the current populationof Claremont. These factors point to a po-lice station of less than half the size pro-posed, and more than double the presentsize, as being appropriate for Claremont.

The selected parcel tax is financed over40 years resulting in a total payout of

$119,500,000 or $11,440 per includedparcel. Re-scoping the police station andtightening up the financing would offersizable savings at no real cost of service:a $20 million plan would reduce this pay-out from $286 for 40 years to $128 over30 years, saving each homeowner $6,320over the life of the loan ($158 per year).And the police station would be paid off10 years earlier.

While we all might agree that the cur-rent police station situation needs im-provement, in November you’re asked todecide if council’s proposed $50 millionsolution at $248,958 per month for 40years is the one and only correct answer.It is not.

The plan on the ballot this Novemberequates to $1,059 per square foot as com-pared to Montclair’s station “with all thebells and whistles” that was constructedfor $576 per square foot. If you, like me,believe that we need improvement butwant a station for our actual needs at afraction of the price then you must voteno on Measure PS.

Police station is a tax burdenDear Editor:

The Claremont City Council is propos-ing to build a new police station.

The facility would be adjacent to the

underutilized city yard on Monte Vista,across from the Claremont Club. The pro-posed size of this new edifice is 47,000square feet, which seems like overkill tome. It would cost approximately $50 mil-lion and be funded by a parcel tax, whichwould affect every resident directly or in-directly to the tune of $286 per year for 40years.

The city contends that there is notenough space for operation, but we al-ready have room for expansion at thepresent location in the form of an under-utilized impound yard.

We already are paying off $12.5 mil-lion for Johnson’s Pasture, $49 million forthe Claremont Unified School Districtand, if all goes as planned, are about tostart paying a new bond of $135 millionor more for the water rights to our city.

Crime is down, we have already spent$591,000 for 12 new fully-equipped po-lice cars and $2 million for a MobileEmergency Operations Unit completewith a dispatch center out of city funds.

The city also contends that the existingstation doesn’t meet earthquake standardsimposed long after the station was built.In the event of such a catastrophe, the Mo-bile Unit would actually be used and op-erations would continue as usual while weeffected repairs.

I, for one, don’t want this additional taxburden, which would also fall on our chil-dren and grandchildren.

Claremont COURIER/Friday, October 2, 2015 12OBITUARIES

Carol Sontag, a longtime Claremontresident, died on September 12, 2015.She was 91.

She was born Carol Ann Furth onJanuary 8, 1924 in Woodland, Califor-nia, the third child and only daughter ofVictor and Valance Furth of Winters,California in Yolo County. She was athird-generation native Californian, hergreat-grandparents having migratedwest during the Gold Rush.

She was raised on the ranch in Win-ters owned by her father and grandfa-ther, Furth and Furth Orchards, wherethey grew apricots and almonds. As agirl, she helped in the drying yards,watching over the muslin sheets whereapricot halves were laid to dry in thehot California sun.

The Furth family left the ranch andmoved to Berkeley, where Carol gradu-ated from Berkeley High. She went onto attend the University of California,as had her parents and much of herfamily, living in the Tri Delta house oncampus and becoming president of theDelta Delta Delta sorority. She wasnamed a senior standout, an honor ac-corded for outstanding academic per-formance.

After graduating with a degree inpublic speaking in 1945, she spent thesummer working at Fallen Leaf Lodge,now Stanford Lodge on Fallen LeafLake. There she met her future hus-band, Frederick Sontag, who was alsoworking at the camp during his summerbreak from Stanford University.Courtship led to marriage and, follow-ing a wedding ceremony in Piedmont,California on June 10, 1950, theymoved immediately to New Haven,Connecticut where Fred went to earnhis PhD at Yale. Mrs. Sontag was ameticulous speller and, having workedin the registrar’s office while at Cal—where she learned shorthand and per-fected her typing skills—typed all ofDr. Sontag’s graduate papers at Yale aswell as the dissertation for his PhD.

In 1952 the couple moved across thecountry to Claremont, where Dr. Son-tag had accepted a post as professor ofphilosophy at Pomona College. Theymoved into a college-owned house onthe corner of College Avenue and 7thStreet, now site of the Seeley G. MuddScience Center. They were joined by ason, Grant Furth, on March 19, 1955,followed by a daughter, Anne Burnett,on May 14, 1956.

The growing family moved to a newtract home above Foothill Boulevard inwhat was a former orange grove at 713Cedarview Drive. From there, Dr. Son-tag biked to the college every day, tak-ing first Grant and then Anne to MaryB. Eyre Nursery School while Mrs.Sontag kept up the home. She also vol-unteered as a “Gray Lady” for theAmerican Red Cross, and worked part-time as a secretary in Pomona’s historydepartment and elsewhere on campus.

In 1958-59, the Sontag family en-joyed the first of several wonderful so-journs while Fred was on sabbatical at

Union Theological Seminary in NewYork City. In 1960 the Sontags took upresidence in a beautiful vintage home at1120 N. Indian Hill Blvd. in the Clare-mont Village, the setting for many awonderful dinner party hosted by Fredand Carol.

Mrs. Sontag was an accomplishedcook and, during a sabbatical year inParis in 1973-74, she and Anne eventook some classes at the famed CordonBleu, sharing their culinary delightswith a steady flow of guests grateful fora warm welcome and delicious meal.She loved to plan dinner parties, cook,and entertain guests in style—often in-cluding Pomona students, faculty andalumni.

Her care extended to the smallest de-tail, and she added to the table decora-tions she had made or silver pieces shehad crafted working alongside Collegefriends Jean Platt and Masago Arm-strong, under the tutelage of silversmithCatherine Bruce. There wasn’t a craftin which Carol couldn’t excel. She wasgifted at needlepoint, knitting and em-broidery, and her pillows and framedpieces adorned their beautiful home.Unstinting in her generosity, she alsoshared her handiwork as gifts, alongwith products from her kitchen andhandmade cards.

The Sontags loved to travel, often inconjunction with Dr. Sontag’s scholarlywork, and during their lifetime they vis-ited every continent except Antarcticaand every state except Alaska. In addi-tion to New York and Paris, Mrs. Son-tag set up homes in Rome and Kyotoand, of course, they entertained itiner-ant Pomona students in every locale.Carol always found a way to coax adinner party even out of a crampedkitchen. Perhaps her favorite destina-tion was Cambridge, England whereFred was at one point a scholar-in-resi-dence at Jesus College. Mrs. Sontagloved the Gothic architecture, the flow-ers in the courtyards and going to hearthe famous King’s College Choir.

The Sontags shared a love of classi-cal music and were season ticket hold-ers to the LA Philharmonic, the LAChamber Orchestra and the HollywoodBowl, often taking their children tothese venues as well as to many theater

performances in the Los Angeles area.Carol served on the Foothill Philhar-monic Committee for decades, raisingmoney for the orchestra. She was alsoactive in the Curtain Raisers, support-ing productions at Claremont’s Garri-son Theater. Dr. and Mrs. Sontagenjoyed attending concerts at Pomonaor the Congregational Church wherethey were members throughout theirlives.

In the 1970s, Fred and Carol took uptenancy in Pomona’s Harwood Court asfaculty residents, providing yet anothergeneration of Pomona students withtheir warm welcome and gracious hos-pitality. They were honored as a coupleduring their lifetime through the gener-ous gifts of Pomona alumni, who madepossible in 1997 the dedication of theSontag Greek Theatre on campus.

In 1998 the Sontags relocated for thelast time to Pilgrim Place, where theyenriched the retirement community bytheir presence and were able to extendfriendships going back decades as wellas to establish new ones. Carol madefriends readily and was always inter-ested in discussing the news of the day,a recent performance she had attendedor the scores of her favorite sportsteams. She was proud of the accom-

plishments achieved by her husband,children and grandchildren.

“She was a talented, gracious andwell-loved woman, dedicated to herfamily and her community,” familyshared.

Mrs. Sontag was predeceased by herhusband Frederick, her brothers Gor-don and Alan Furth, her sister-in-lawNina Furth and her nephew AndrewFurth.

She is survived by her son Grant ofMountain View; her daughter and son-in-law, Anne and Paul Karch of Madi-son, Wisconsin; and her grandchildren,Rachel, Lydia and Chas Karch (Sally).She also leaves her sister-in-law Vir-ginia Furth of Oakland and niecesWynne Furth (Don Brenneis) of PaloAlto and Amy Furth of Seattle, all ofwhom she loved dearly.

A memorial service will be held onNovember 21, 2015 at 3 p.m. in DeckerHall at Pilgrim Place. Memorial contri-butions may be made to Foothill Phil-harmonic, Pomona College, PilgrimPlace or VNA Hospice of SouthernCalifornia, which provided care inCarol’s final days.

David OgleDevoted educator, musician


Roger Samuel, a longtime Claremont resident whomade an enormous impact on countless budding mu-sicians, died on August 29, 2015 after a 17-year battlewith prostate cancer. He was 72.

He was born on October 27, 1942 in Los Angelesto James and Ruth Samuel. He attended MarshallHigh School in Los Angeles and also marched as ayoung trombonist in the Hollywood Sons of theAmerican Legion Band, where he met his future wifeJanet. They attended California State University, LosAngeles and received degrees in music education.

The couple was married in 1964 and had three chil-dren, all of whom were inspired by their parents’ lovefor music and now work in music as teachers, per-formers and administrators.

For 38 years, Mr. Samuel served as a music teacherand music coordinator in the Azusa Unified SchoolDistrict, until his retirement in 2003. He was also a re-spected trombone instructor and clinician as well asan active performer throughout southern California.

In 1989, the Samuels founded the ClaremontYoung Musicians Orchestra (CYMO), which contin-ues today to teach, inspire and serve 170 young musi-cians each year. Roger was the music director andconductor of the orchestras until his death.

Over the years, membership in the ClaremontYoung Musicians Orchestra has provided its youngparticipants with unforgettable experiences as well asa strong musical foundation. These include regularconcerts presented in Bridges Auditorium at PomonaCollege as well as memorable travel opportunities.

The Samuels led delegations of 100 teen musicians

on tours of Europe four times over the years. Duringthe latest trip, held in 2013, the orchestra performed atvenues like the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria,Schleissheim Castle in Munich and the Teatro Verdiin Padua, Italy.

Claremont resident Cindy Fan has wonderful mem-ories of her time in the Claremont Young MusiciansOrchestra, where she served as concertmaster for acouple of years. She went on to major in music atYale and is now a private violin teacher.

“Mr. Samuel’s guidance was one of the strongestmusical forces in my life,” Ms. Fan said. “He pouredout his love and his energy into all of us, and it defi-nitely shaped me as a musician. I can’t say enoughabout what he’s done for all of us. Anyone who hasplayed under his baton was really changed for the bet-ter.”

Larry J. Livingston is chair of the department ofconducting at the USC Thornton School of Music. Hecounts himself as fortunate to have known Mr.Samuel and his family for three decades. He has en-joyed many a CYMO concert and even, on occasion,has served as a guest conductor. Mr. Samuel, he said,

was a true gift to the community. “First of all, he had the most important attribute of

a music educator. Although the music was vitally im-portant, it was the children that mattered most. He hada deep caring for them,” Mr. Livingston said. “Healso had boundless energy. Even when he was strug-gling and dealing with cancer, he remained vital andalive.”

Of course, Mr. Samuel considered it an achieve-ment when one of his students grew up to be a profes-sional musician, as many have. But he saw all stu-dents’ time with the CYMO as critically important,even if they pursued other careers.

“He wanted everyone in his group to be sufficientlyinspired that they would continue playing music, nomatter what profession they went into,” Mr. Liv-ingston said. “He wanted them to be good audiences,and to treasure the central place of music in theirlives.”

On the CYMO Facebook page, there is a notice let-ting orchestra members and alumni and their familiesknow about the passing of Mr. Samuel. The post re-ceived nearly 100 comments, sending love to theSamuel family and lavishing praise on the late musiceducator. These include a tribute by former ClaremontYoung Musicians Orchestra member RoseJeanWeller.

“Mr. Samuel lived life the way many striveto...making an immense, wonderful, positive and res-onant impact on thousands of young musicians. Whata gift it was to have him our lives,” she wrote. “Ilearned so many things about music, and life, frommy time being mentored by him. He’s left a profoundand prolific influence in all our lives.”

“Fermata in peace,” she concluded, referring to asymbol of musical notation indicating that the lengthof a note should be prolonged.

Mr. Samuel is survived by his wife Janet Samueland their children, Greg Samuel, Gail Samuel and herhusband William Christian, and Brent Samuel and hiswife Shirley Ho. He also leaves his grandchildren,Samuel and Orlando Christian and Zoey and MayaSamuel, as well as a sister, Pat Brown.

The funeral for Roger took place on September 11at Our Lady of the Assumption Church in Claremont,where he was a parishioner for nearly 40 years. He isburied in Oak Park Cemetery. Memorial contributionsmay be made to the Claremont Young Musicians Or-chestra (PO Box 722, Claremont, CA 91711) and theUSC Norris Westside Cancer Center (9033 WilshireBlvd., Ste 300, Beverly Hills, CA 90211).

“To us, our house was not insentient matter—it hada heart and a soul and eyes to see us with; and ap-provals and solicitudes and deep sympathies; it wasof us, and we were in the peace of its benediction. Wenever came home from an absence that its face didnot light up and speak out its eloquent welcome—andwe could not enter it unmoved.” —Samuel Clemens

The 33rd Annual Claremont Her-itage Home Tour, Mission to Mod-ern: Residential Architecture

1900-1940s that influenced Modernism,that will take place on Sunday, October11, features six of Claremont’s finesthomes that epitomize Samuel Clemens’words. They are not only significant archi-tecturally, but also for the people associ-ated with the homes that shaped thehistory and culture of the city.

The Wright House, a California Craftsman, thehome of Andrew and Blenda Wright, was built byMary R. Darling in 1903. It has the distinction ofbeing the only home in Claremont designed byCharles and Henry Greene, and the first home theybuilt outside of Pasadena. It was also their first home

to receive international recognition and was publishedin Academy Architecture in 1903. The structure wasthe first to demonstrate elements that would becometheir signature style. It was the first home where theydesigned the total environment that included the light-ing, decorations and furniture. Extensively renovatedby the Wrights beginning in 2007, the home demon-strates the delicate balance of restoring and preservingan historic structure while renovating it to meettoday’s lifestyle requirements.

The Neiuber House, a Transitional Craftsman, thehome of Karen and John Neiuber, was built in 1908by Winfield and Katie Palmer. Palmer was a rancher,president of the Claremont National Bank, managerof The College Heights Orange and Lemon Associa-tion and president of the Town Committee, precursorto a mayor and city council. In the 1920s, Dr. Morrilland Mrs. Mary Ilsley purchased the home. Dr. Ilsleyserved as the college physician and Mary Ilsleyheaded up the tree-planting program in the city formany years. The Neiubers purchased the home in2003, and did extensive restoration and renovations in2004 and 2005. Over the last four years, the entirefirst floor has been restored using historic photo-graphs.

The Baker House, a Spanish Colonial Revival, thehome of Francine and William Baker, was built in1926 by Grace Thomas. The home was designed byPasadena architect, H.L. Martin. In the 1920s, theSpanish Revival was the most fashionable housingstyle of the day and this house is a perfect example ofthe vernacular with its stucco walls, red tile roof andarched windows and doors. The interior features theoriginal Batchelder-tiled fireplace, hardwood floors,crown molding and curved wrought-iron stairway.

The Bakers purchased the home in 1991 and per-formed extensive sympathetic restoration, balancinghistoric renovation while updating the home to mod-ern living. Mrs. Baker served for many years as thecity of Claremont’s arts coordinator, and the Bakersare members of the advisory council of the RuthChandler Williamson Gallery at Scripps College.

The Scripps College House, a Spanish ColonialRevival, the home of Charlotte Johnson, dean of stu-dents at Scripps, was built in 1927 by Edward Ware.It was described at the time in a ClaremontCOURIER article as “one of the finest new homes

that has been started in Claremont.” The home’s his-toric name is from Louise Padelford, a French profes-sor at Scripps College, who purchased the house inthe 1960s. She hosted many Asian religious leaders atthe home, and the Buddhist statuary and Japanesescreens that were once part of the décor now reside inthe Scripps permanent collection. The home is inkeeping with the style with very few exterior changesover the years. It features textured stucco walls, vary-ing window sizes, a red tile roof and wooden-railedbalconies, which is a nod to the Monterrey variant ofthe style.

The Bassman House, built in 1938 in the Interna-tional Style by artist Milford Zornes, is the home ofLori Bassman, and was designed by Swedish archi-tect, Carl Tooedsson. He taught at USC and laterpracticed in Los Angeles after World War II, where hebecame internationally known. The home is listed inAn Architectural Guide to Los Angeles, by DavidGebhard and Robert Winter, where it is listed as “Asophisticated International Style essay in brick andglass.” The home was featured in ArchitecturalRecord in 1941, and in The American Home maga-zine in 1944, where it was described as “$6000 Worthof Sunshine.” Milford Zornes, who studied and latertaught at Pomona College, lived there when he de-signed the mural for the Claremont Post Office. Hewent on to become one of the most prominent mem-bers of the California Watercolor School.

The Houy Haus, a Modern Neo-Georgian, thehome of Tina and Markus Houy, was built in 1941 byArthur G. Coons, a professor at Scripps College.What makes this house unique is that it is a Modernistreinterpretation of the classical form, much in thesame manner that Millard Sheets reinterpreted classi-cism at the Garrison Theater at Scripps. This can beseen in the slender columns at the front of the housewhere the door is capped by the traditional brokenpediment, but in a scale purposefully out of propor-tion.

Purchased in 2009, the Houys have undertakenmajor renovations while maintaining the Georgian de-sign. The front facade was moved forward to add amore formal entry. The kitchen was completely re-modeled, a den was added, as were “his” and “hers”offices and the master bedroom and bath were en-larged.

In Samuel Clemens words, these homes are “notinsentient matter.” They, and those who occupiedthem, have contributed to the sense of place that isClaremont. We are shaped and molded by the placeswe live, oftentimes not realizing it until later, andupon reflection. The memories of the houses androoms in which life events happened remain with us,and those memories help to define us and inform ourlives and values.


Mission to Modern: 33rd annual Claremont Heritage home tourby John Neiuber

CHS cross countryswarms competi-tion in league meetClaremont High School cross-country coach

Bill Reeves may be a man of few words,but he certainly got the message across to

his runners: go for the team win over individualresults.

And that’s exactly what happened as theWolfpack swept the second PalomaresLeague meet on Tuesday at Bonelli RegionalPark, even though the highest varsity place was second.

The boys varsity team ran in a very tight pack for the first 10or 12 minutes, with five Claremont runners joined by a pairfrom Ayala and Bonita as well as one Diamond Bar runner.

However, in the final push for the finish Ayala’s Steven Kahnpicked up the pace, forcing the rest to chase. In the end Kahncame in first at 15:13, followed by Claremont’s Ryan Renken at15:15 and Ayala’s Gavin Bradley at 15:28. The next highestplace for the Pack was Tab Backman who took seventh at 15:48,but Claremont also got five of the next six places, clinching theteam title. The final score was Claremont 36, Bonita 53 andAyala 60.

The girls varsity race was remarkably similar, with the toprunners largely sticking together and pacing themselves for thefinish. This time it was Bonita’s Kelsey Creese who eventuallybroke away, taking first at 18:16 followed by Ayala’s SydneyTullai at 18:21 and Claremont’s Annie Boos at 18:27. Again theteam tactic worked for Claremont as they snatched six of thenext nine spots and the overall victory: Claremont 27, Ayala 59and Bonita 66.

CHS WEEKLY ROUNDUP

FOOTBALL

The Claremont High School footballteam won its non-conference homegame against Bell Gardens, 22-0. Withthe victory, the Pack extends its unde-feated season to five games.

Quarterback Raine Pohaku Kaheaku-Paiva threw five passes for 53 yards andhad six carries for 59 yards and one rush-ing touchdown.

Duy Tran-Sampson was again the topball carrier with 196 yards and onetouchdown. Markelle Davis had 12 car-ries for 72 yards, and caught two passesfor 28 yards. Justin Smith had two car-ries for nine yards and one touchdown.Cameron Gray had two receptions for 28yards, while Laquamie Bond caught one17-yard pass.

CHS will face Bonita in their Palo-mares League opener next Friday in LaVerne.

Before the Bell Gardens game, Clare-mont High School honored former foot-ball coach Mike Collins for his 20 yearsleading the Wolfpack and 30 years incoaching. As Mr. Collins stood on the50-yard-line with his wife Laura and sonTroy, the announcer read a biography ofthe former coach’s accomplishmentswhile some Wolfpack alum playersstood behind him.

After the ceremony, Mr. Collins par-ticipated in the ceremonial coin toss andthen retreated to the end zone to enjoythe game with his former players.

GIRLS TENNIS

CHS girls varsity tennis beat DiamondBar on Tuesday. The Pack tied 9-9 in setsbut won in overall games, 74-70.

COURIER photos/Steven FelschundneffThe strongest contenders in the girls varsity race ran together for much of the raceuntil the final minutes when Bonita’s Kelsey Creese broke away. Even though Clare-mont’s top finish was third, they took seven of the top 12 places for the team vic-tory.

Watching the girls junior var-sity race, one might havethough Claremont was the

only team that showed up, at least forthose watching the front of the race. Inall, the massive girls JV team took 17 ofthe top 20 places including the top ninespots led by Alyssa Cantrell’s first-placefinish at 19:24, Kyla Morris at 19:39and Sarah Ayala at 19:52.

The meet got off to a hectic start be-cause the timing personnel accidentallywent to the wrong location, causing anhour delay. As a result, the freshman,sophmore and junior varsity boys raceswere combined in an effort to save time,yielding one massive pack of competi-tors.

With all of those runners out on thecourse even the coaches were a bit con-fused.

“I can’t tell if we are winning,” saidCoach Reeves as the bulk of the runnerspassed during the first of two laps.

But win they did, with Sergio Es-

pinoza taking first in the JV race at16:29, followed by Ayala’s AndrewMartinez at 16:42 and Claremont’sJacob Gomez at 16:47. The Pack alsohad seven of the top 10 places for theteam victory.

As he waited for the timing crew toarrive Coach Reeves elaborated on hisoverall plan for the meet.

With the Pack’s top finish in the firstleague meet, Coach Reeves told histeam, “They will be coming after us, soyou’ve got to come out and race.”

At the same time he warned them,“You can only go to the well so manytimes,” a euphemism for going all-outin an effort to take a top spot.

Instead, he told the athletes to savetheir energy for the league finals andthen go for the personal win.

Next up for cross-country is the Clo-vis Invite on October 10.

Claremont Heritage to host annual Home Tour


To local merchantBrenda Ricciardi, Bot-tega 25 is a true labor of

love. To understand why, onehas to look at what she hasbeen through to get here.

The tiny home décor shop, tuckedaway in a corner of Claremont’s Pack-ing House, has been open for more thana year. Every corner of the space isadorned with charming knick-knacksfrom across the world, primarily theUnited Kingdom and Italy.

“I wanted an Italian and Euro-type ofname, and bottega means artist galleryor boutique or artist workshop,” Ms.Ricciardi said. “So it was perfect.”

Despite the relative newness of Bot-tega 25, Ms. Ricciardi has been a Vil-lage mainstay for many years priorthrough her previous shop, ThreeFrench Hens. Together with her dearfriend, local real estate agent CatherineShelton, Ms. Ricciardi shopped for fas-cinating pieces from around the worldand brought all of it to the City ofTrees.

Disaster struck in August of 2010,when Ms. Shelton died in a tragic autoaccident in front of Three French Henson First Street.

According to reports from theCOURIER, Ms. Ricciardi and Ms.Shelton were exiting an SUV when itlurched forward, striking Ms. Shelton.It slammed into two light poles and abench before stopping near the entranceto Bua Thai Cuisine. Ms. Shelton died ashort time later at Pomona Valley Med-ical Center.

Ms. Ricciardi herself was injuredwhile trying to get the careening car tostop. She was devastated by the loss ofher closest friend, and slowly withdrewfrom her duties at her store, shutteringit a year later.

“I closed Three French Hens becauseit was very, very difficult to be in thatspace,” Ms. Ricciardi said. “And just,every day the memories of what hap-pened…it was really difficult. I justcouldn’t go into the shop because ofthat. It didn’t feel the same anymore. Iwasn’t happy. It wasn’t a happy place.”

Ms. Ricciardi stayed away from re-tail for nearly three years, resigningherself to giving up on her dream.

She eventually connected with andmarried her husband, Mario Ricciardi.She credits Mr. Ricciardi, a local ortho-dontist, with lighting the spark underher to open up another shop.

“We were having dinner one day andhe said, ‘Why don’t you do what youlove? Why don’t you go open a shop?’”Ms. Ricciardi said. “And I said, ‘I justdon’t want to start the whole ThreeFrench Hens thing again.’ And he said,‘Just do it.’”

The name Bottega 25 has a personalsignificance; the term bottega was cho-sen to reflect the store’s new Italian-in-spired theme, and the number 25reflects the date Brenda and Mariowere married.

For the newly-christened Bottega 25,Ms. Ricciardi wanted to go in a com-pletely new direction, freeing herselffrom the memories of her last enter-prise. But that wasn’t exactly what hap-pened.

“I had a completely different vision

for what Bottega 25 would be. AndBottega 25 is almost exactly the sameas Three French Hens,” Ms. Ricciardisaid, laughing. “So it’s just in myblood.”

When you walk into Bottega 25, youget the sense that you’re entering into

someone’s living room or an artist’sloft. Walls are covered with Italianpaintings that hearken back to the1940s and 1950s, gleaming chandeliersare tastefully stationed throughout theroom and, most prominently, a signadorning the right wall reads, “Life isbeautiful,” which serves as the shop’sthesis statement.

“The space feels much better,” Ms.Ricciardi said. “It just feels like onegood, happy, nice, beautiful space.”

She opened the shop without muchadvertising, hoping she would go underthe radar and not be connected to ThreeFrench Hens. Claremonters immedi-ately recognized her and her signaturestyle, however, and embraced Ms. Ric-ciardi with open arms.

“That’s the best thing about Clare-mont,” she said with a smile. “It’s awonderful community and the peopleare lovely.”

Ms. Ricciardi has bigplans for her store inthe months going

forward. In December, sheplans to open up her basementfor weekly classes and work-shops involving painting anddesigning different types offurniture. She is also workingout a deal with Annie Sloan, atop-of-the-line decorative paintsupplier from the United King-dom.

With the help of her husband, as wellas her trusted employees, Ms. Ricciardiis reclaiming her status as a shopkeeperand a member of Claremont’s thrivingbusiness community.

“After all the circumstances that hap-pened, I thought it was done—that itwas all over,” Ms. Ricciardi said. “Andnow that I created Bottega 25, it’s veryspecial.”

Still, she will never forget her friend-ship with Catherine Shelton.

“Every day I think about her,” shesaid. “I think that she’s a big part ofeverything I do.”


Love, passion motivate new shop for longtime Claremont merchant

Martin O’Malleyspoke at Pitzer Col-lege last Thursday,

vowing to the Benton Audito-rium crowd to “rebuild thetruth of the American dream.”

Mr. O’Malley, the former governor ofMaryland and Democratic presidentialcandidate, spoke to a packed house ofClaremont Colleges students and com-munity members in an event that washalf stump speech and half open Q&A

He opened his speech with a light jabat fellow Democratic candidates HillaryClinton and Bernie Sanders, indicatingthathis party pedigree has greater puritythan his opponents’.

“I am not a former Republican,” Mr.O’Malley said. “I am not a former Inde-pendent. I am not a socialist. I am a De-mocrat, and I am running for presidentof the United States.”

The Pitzer College Student Senatehelped to put the event together, specifi-cally through the work of students JosuePasillas, Andrew Lydens and ChanceKawar.

According to Mr. Pasillas, Gover-nor O’Malley is the first presi-dential candidate to speak at

Pitzer while on the campaign trail in thecollege’s 50-year history.

“I’m really excited,” he said. “Wewere talking about engaging the studentsmore about the election process andcivic engagement and we’re like, ‘Whynot bring an actual presidential candi-date to campus?’ So I’m glad it hap-pened.”

Mr. O’Malley touched on his 15-partplatform, sharing his thoughts on immi-gration, higher education and gun con-trol.

“I’m the only candidate in this racewho has 15 years of executive experi-ence,” Mr. O’Malley said, saying he isthe best candidate to “forge a new con-sensus.”

After his speech, Mr. O’Malleyopened the floor to queries from stu-dents. Topics included the Syrianrefugee crisis, transgender rights, vet-eran’s affairs and how Mr. O’Malley dif-fers from other candidates such as Mr.

Sanders and Ms. Clinton.Some of the loudest applause came

when the presidential hopeful made hisstance on immigration perfectly clear.

“The enduring symbol of America isnot the barbed wire fence, but the Statueof Liberty,” Mr. O’Malley said. “I amnot for building walls.”

After the event, Mr. O’Malley spoketo the COURIER about an ongoing con-troversy in Democratic circles—the de-cision by the Democratic NationalCommittee to limit the schedule to sixdebates during the long primary season.

Many Democrats have expressed con-cern that the relatively small number of

debates would favor better-known can-didates such as Ms. Clinton. Mr. O’Mal-ley did not mince words when asked hisopinion on the DNC’s decision.

“I don’t think it’s good for the coun-try,” he said. “I think it’s not good for theparty to let the Republican debates gounanswered.”

In fact, Mr. O’Malley said, most ofthe “rank and file members” of his partyhave expressed outrage, calling the smallnumber of debates an “undemocratic”decision.

“So we’ll see. Hopefully, there will bemore responsible members of the partywho will rise up and fix this. In the

meantime, I’m going to do my very bestto promote my candidacy the best Ican.”

After the event, Mr. Lydens discussedwhat this event meant for the students atPitzer and neighboring colleges.

“I think it’s great. We are promotingthis educated global community, be-cause we have a knowledge and wehave this open dialogue with so manydifferent leader of the world and leadersof communities and we can really growas world citizens,” Mr. Lydens said. “SoI think it means a lot.”

Mr. O’Malley’s talk outlined his progressive political platform including reigning in college tuition debt,generating all electricity from renewable sources and implementing public financing for congressional races.

“I am not a former Repub-

am not a former Independ-
