Roble Intermediate School. Mr. Kirkwoods fellow teachers dressed in
beards, wire rim glasses and knee-high socks as they sang a special tribute
to the 37-year El Roble veteran. The costumes were inspired by Mr. Kirk-
woods standard work attire, which has added to his uniqueness as a fixture
at the school.

she is excited about her retirement, which
she described as a great moment. Its okay.
Ive done a lot of hard work, she said.
But Ill definitely miss the hubub.
t
Lukkarila an inspiring teacher
Dear Editor:
We are dismayed by the story about
the potential dismissal of Claremont
High School teacher Dave Lukkarila in
the June 6 COURIER.
It reads as though his conflict with the
Claremont Unified School District, initi-
ated with his complaint of serious mold
in the school, has escalated into a variety
of confrontations that may lead to his
dismissal.
In the story, Mr. Lukkarila was de-
scribed as a favorite among students
by a 2009 CHS graduate.
Our daughter graduated from CHS in
2001, and Mr. Lukkarila was the teacher
who had the greatest impact on her, even
among many other outstanding CHS
teachers. His instruction in history and
economics led her to pursue a career in
economics (and a PhD at the London
School of Economics). She is now a uni-
versity faculty member in Oregon. We
continue to be grateful to him personally
for much of her success in life.
We hope that the Claremont Unified
School District will realize the impor-
tance of keeping this extraordinary
teacher on its faculty, and encourage a
mediation process that will result in that
end.

TAG not advising on
impending tree disaster
Dear Editor:
On June 2, the Tree Advisory Group
(TAG) spent over five hours explaining
to the Claremont City Council and a few
citizens their plan for trees in Claremont.
Every home will have a TAG-selected
tree(s) or, in the case of diseased/dam-
aged trees, a TAG-selected alternate. The
homeowner does not decide; TAG does.
The crucial fact that TAG did not re-
veal at this meeting came out on the
CBS website on Saturday. CBS revealed
that the Huntington Botanical Garden in
Pasadena has had an infection by a
polyphagous borer beetle in over 200 of
their 700 species of trees. This beetle
bores into the tree, carrying a fungus in
its mouth, eventually killing the tree. No
pesticide is known for this beetle. Even
if there were one, once in the tree the
beetle would be immune from the pesti-
cide. Contact is Jim Folson of the Hunt-
ington Botanical Garden. Additionally,
Akif Eskalen of the University of Cali-
fornia Riverside has determined that this
beetle is attacking our avocado trees.
I pose the following questions to TAG:
Are the 500 species of trees not yet at-
tacked at the Botanic Garden a question
of time or immunity? How can TAG, se-
lecting city trees for homeowners, pro-
ceed not knowing the answer to this
question? They have to know the resist-
ance of the trees they select.
These questions have a particular per-
tinence to me. I have a fallen, diseased
liquidambar in my front yard, as I noted
at the meeting. I have a 120-foot heritage
avocado tree in my backyard. Should I
be replacing the diseased liquidambar in
my front yard as a threat to my neighbors
liquidambar? Should I be concerned
about the replacement tree that would go
in? Is it immune to the beetle?
Critical advice on trees is TAGs very
reason for existence.

CITY NEWS
A
water revenue bond slated for
the November ballot received a
green light from city council
Tuesday night, despite a request from
Golden State Water Company (GSWC) to
put a plug in it.
City staff has said it can support an $80 million
purchase price through current revenues collected
from water bills. The proposed bonds would give the
city an additional $55 million toward the potential ac-
quisition of the Claremont water system, should the
systems price tag exceed the $80 million.
The councils decision to move forward on issuing
those bonds was somewhat complicated by an
eleventh-hour correspondence from Golden State
Water stating that the water company had entered into
a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Clare-
mont Affordable Water Advocates (CAWA), a group
of Claremont residents who would rather see the city
engage Golden State in solving the water supply is-
sues and abandon its plan to seize the system.
The MOU, which was signed by Denise Kruger,
senior vice president of regulated utilities at Golden
State, and Donna Lowe on behalf of CAWA, outlines
20 commitments Golden State requested the city
council review before drawing any conclusions about
moving ahead with the water bond ballot measure.
The commitments listed in the memorandum include,
but are not limited to, lower water bills
for residential customers, alternatives
to the WRAM rate, city participation
in the Pomona Valley Protective Association (PVPA)
meetings and dismissal of existing litigation.
They have had years to collaborate with the city
and find alternatives to costly rate increases, Clare-
mont Mayor Joe Lyons said in a statement. But
higher rates and charges is the only real agenda this
city has seen from Golden State Water.
Claremonters have been wading though the water
issue for years and, given Golden States recent liti-
gious activity with the city, the water companys re-
quest was met with both skepticism and reluctance.
At Tuesdays council meeting, residents and council
alike expressed determination to gain local control of
the utility.
Golden State is not making any attempt to help the
citizens of Claremont and they will not, Marilee
Scaff told the council members. What youre doing
is draining the community of something like $8 mil-
lion a year to stockholders and high salaries. Do you
want to keep doing that? I dont like paying high
salaries but I dont mind paying for something I
wantlike a house, or a water company. So what can
you do to keep them from putting you on the spot
which is what they intend to do?
The least you can do is move ahead, she contin-
ued They are well aware that Claremont is deter-
mined and theyre afraid theyll lose the vote but you
cant let them push you so far that you dont have a
chance to do it.
The potential acquisition of the Claremont water
system, which has been owned and operated by
Golden States parent company American Water
Corp. since 1929, continues to propel the city to seek
additional mechanisms of financing. Council and city
staff believe the water revenue bond is one viable op-
tion. Council also believes Claremont residents de-
serve the opportunity vote on it.
Revenue bonds are a special type of municipal
bond distinguished by its guarantee of repayment
solely from revenues generated by a specified entity
associated with the purpose of the bonds, rather than
from a tax. In this case, the bonds would be payable
from the water rates residents are already paying. In
other words, when a resident pays his/her water bill,
the money would go to the city instead of Golden
State, with no impact on property taxes.
The revenue bond measure will require approval by
more than 50 percent of Claremont voters during a
special election. The city would request the Los An-
geles County Board of Supervisors to consolidate the
municipal election with any other election to be held
within the county on Tuesday, November 4, 2014 at a
Water bond ballot measure approved by city council

Concern for student safety raised after child is struck by police car
A
boy struck by a Claremont police
vehicle on June 9 while walking to
school returned to classes the fol-
lowing day with minor injuries. The Condit
Elementary School student was in the
crosswalk around 8:20 a.m. when the offi-
cer, attempting to stop a speeding motorist,
hit the boy at the intersection of Scripps
Drive and Mountain Avenue.
According to an eyewitness, the unnamed officer had
turned on his lights and chirped his siren before begin-
ning his pursuit of the driver.
Then I heard a thud.
According to Lt. Mike Ciszek of the Claremont Po-
lice Department, the boy sustained minor injuries. He
had a bruised right knee and a scuffed right cheek, but
appeared to be okay. He was treated at the scene by
Los Angeles County Fire Paramedics and released to
his parents.
Many residents with children attending Condit Ele-
mentary took to social media, voicing their concerns
about speeders near the campus. Some were outraged
that drivers are creating unsafe conditions for their chil-
dren while others dont believe police officers should
pursue a reckless driver when children are present.
Condit parent Lisa Chen has seen careless drivers
around the school before and was nearly a victim her-
self of a distracted driver a few years ago.
I was crossing Scripps Drive when a driver making
a left turn from Mountain Avenue didnt see me and
nearly ran me over, she said. At the time, Ms. Chen
wanted to write the city about her experience, but never
got around to it. Now, she wishes she had.
Sadly, this isnt the first time this year a Claremont
student has been hit by a car on the way to school. On
February 14, an El Roble Intermediate School student
was crossing the street at Harrison and Mountain Av-
enues just before 8 a.m. when a car failed to yield, hit-
ting her in the intersection. When police first received
the call, the girl was stuck underneath the vehicle. By
the time officers arrived, the girl had been safely re-
moved and was awake and breathing. She was trans-
ported to the hospital for neck and back pain.
Less than three weeks later, police responded to yet
another incident at the local intermediate school. A stu-
dent informed school officials that a woman driving a
white SUV hit her while she was walking across Harri-
son Avenue. Though the girl said she was not injured,
she was transported to the hospital and her parents were
notified.
La Verne Police Department, who responded to the
accident near Condit Elementary and is handling the in-
vestigation, remains tight-lipped about the incident and
would not provide additional details at this time.
Its an ongoing investigation, said Watch Com-
mander Lt. Elizabeth Garcia. The report needs to be
completed, then sent to a traffic investigator who re-
views it. It takes about 10 working days.
The speeder who attracted the attention of the officer
near the elementary school got away.
The COURIER will provide more details when they
become available. Visit www.claremont-courier.com
for the latest information.

Parents and students wait to cross Mountain Avenue on Tuesday near where a Condit Elementary School stu-
dent was struck by a police car the day before. Traffic around schools has been a big concern for many years,
and some parents want to see safety improvements at busy intersections that students cross.

he man accused of rap-
ing a 12-year-old Clare-
mont girl appeared in a
Los Angeles County court on
June 9 and entered a plea of
not guilty.
Joseph Chandler Davall was ar-
raigned on seven felony counts, includ-
ing two counts of aggravated sexual
assault of a child; one count each of
forcible rape; sexual penetration by for-
eign object; and assault to commit a
felony during the commission of first-
degree burglarys.
The bearded 34-year-old Coachella
Valley man entered the Pomona court-
room in an orange jumpsuit and hand-
cuffs, now bearing only a slight
resemblance to the clean-shaven sketch
of the suspect released by the Clare-
mont Police Department back in
March. Shielded from the audience by
his public defender, Mr. Davall ap-
peared calm as he addressed the judge
and kept his head down as he was es-
corted out of the courtroom by the
bailiff.
Judge Jack P. Hunt accepted the de-
fendants plea and set a preliminary
hearing and pretrial date for July 14.
The date farmer is accused of attack-
ing and raping the preteen girl on
March 21 while she slept in her Clare-
mont home. The victims father and her
younger sibling were both away from
the residencealthough they were not
togetherwhen the alleged crime oc-
curred.
As the COURIER previously re-
ported, in addition to the seven felonies
hes charged with in Los Angeles
County, Mr. Davalls past includes vari-
ous other crimes in San Bernardino,
Riverside and Ventura counties. Those
charges include but are not limited to:
assault with intent to rape, public intox-
ication, indecent exposure, grand theft
as well as reckless driving and other
traffic-related offenses.
The suspect was taken into custody at
his Yucca Valley home on April 18 after
a short pursuit involving Claremont po-
lice and the San Bernardino Sheriff. Po-
lice previously confirmed evidence
relating to the Claremont crime was
found at Mr. Davalls residence. The Los
Angeles District Attorneys office said
authorities linked the date farmer to the
Claremont attack through the Combined
DNA Index System.
Mr. Davall remains in custody in
Mens Central Jail in lieu of $5 million
bail. If convicted as charged, the accused
faces a maximum sentence of life in
prison without the possibility of parole.

A Pomona resident with a chip on his
shoulder took it out on a sidewalk sign
and was arrested for vandalism. Larry
Thurman was walking outside of Aloe
Loans on the 400 block of Auto Center
Drive when he allegedly began kicking
the business signage, causing $200 in
damage. At the owners request, the 32-
year-old man was placed under a private
persons arrest. He was released on
$5,000 bail.

Crossing the street appears to be a
dangerous thing to do in Claremont, as
one woman in The Village found out
when a vehicle making an unsafe turn
struck her. The 27-year-old driver was
stopped at Indian Hill Boulevard and
began a right turn onto Second Street
when he collided with the 62-year-old
pedestrian in the crosswalk. The woman
complained of dizziness and leg pain and
was transported to San Antonio Hospital
for treatment.

Home burglaries continue to be a
problem in Claremont and the items
taken by thieves continue to be as ran-
dom as the homes they hit. An unknown
suspect entered a residence on the 2200
block of Villa Maria sometime around 1
p.m. and took off with the homeowners
safe, an Xbox gaming system, jewelry
and a green glass ashtray with some
change. The loss is estimated to be
around $700.

You may be able to get away with
stealing music online but one Upland
teen found out that you cant get away
with it at Rhino Records. Around 8:46
p.m., Dean Perez attempted to run out of
the store with merchandise in hand, set-
ting off the alarm before being detained
by police. The 19-year-old was found to
be in possession of eight CDs totaling
$133.98 and was arrested for petty theft.
He was later released on $1,000 bail.

A creeper struck below the belt around
midnight in a popular parking structure
in the Village. The man, who approached
two women walking to their car, was
seen shaking his penis after exiting a
white, 4-door vehicle on the second floor
of the structure located on the 400 block
of First Street. He is described as a white
male, approximately 64 and weighing
about 230 pounds.

Sunday, June 8
A vehicle carrying two young children
and a female driver rolled over on Towne
Avenue after colliding with an unsafe
driver. The 26-year-old woman was trav-
eling northbound around 10 a.m. when a
car in the adjacent lane made an unsafe
lane change, sideswiped her and caused
her vehicle to flip. The driver suffered
minor injuries to both shins and was
transported to San Antonio Hospital after
complaining of stomach pain. The chil-
dren, aged 4 and 6, were not injured.

Tuesday, June 10
Prescription medications, electronics
and cold hard cash are missing from an-
other Claremont home on the 400 block
of Sycamore Avenue. Sometime be-
tween 10:45 a.m. and 12:15 p.m., the
thief entered the residence through a rear
sliding door and took $6,000 in cash, a
laptop, a television and prescription
drugs belonging to the homeowner.
There are no suspects at this time.

A woman who left her tote bag on top
of the lockers at The Claremont Club
was surprised to discover her bag on the
floor and her wallet missing when she re-
turned to the locker room over an hour
later. The petty thief made off with the
wallet containing a drivers license, a
health insurance card and about $40 in
cash. The Club staff recommends mem-
bers and visitors put their personal items
inside the lockers, not on top of them.

Wednesday, June 11
A man with a terrible sense of direc-
tion made a series of bad decisions re-
sulting in his arrest for driving under the
influence. According to Lt. Mike Ciszek,
officers spotted David Dabney parked in
an eastbound direction on the westbound
side of Foothill Boulevard around 1:30
a.m. When the 37-year-old refused to
submit to sobriety tests, he was arrested
for DUI. In California, the penalties for
refusing to take a blood, breath or urine
test begin with a one-year suspension of
your drivers license. The Pasadena res-
ident was released seven hours later on
$5,000 bail.

Assault suspect pleads not guilty to seven felonies
M
arcel Esparza Her-
rera, the man ac-
cused of assault with
a deadly weapon against a
Claremont police officer that
shot him, entered into a plea
agreement with the Los Ange-
les County District Attorney on
Tuesday, June 10 in Pomona
Superior Court.
Dressed in a blue jail-issued jump-
suit, Mr. Herrera was escorted into the
courtroom in handcuffs and took a seat
at the defendants table. Bouncing in
his seat from time to time, the accused
smiled briefly at his family sitting in
the otherwise empty courtroom. He
took a moment before the preliminary
hearing to apologize to his family.
Im sorry for all Ive done to you
guys, he said, adding, Dont cry, Ma,
Im good. God is good. Im getting an-
other chance to restore my life.
After speaking with his attorney, Mr.
Herrera entered a plea of no contest to
two of the three felony counts against
him, including assault upon a police of-
ficer and unlawful driving or taking of
a vehicle. The 24-year-old also agreed
to pay damages.
As part of the plea deal presented by
Deputy District Attorney Duke Chau, a
third count of possession of a con-
trolled substance was dismissed.
Judge Thomas C. Falls accepted the
plea and set a sentencing date of June
24.
Three additional cases remain pend-
ing against the accused in Pomona
court two probation violations and a
third misdemeanor charge of resisting,
delaying or obstructing officer from an
unrelated incident in April. Those cases
will be held over until the sentencing
date, giving Judge Falls an opportunity
to review Mr. Herreras probation re-
port that was not available in court
Tuesday morning.
Based on the remaining charges, Mr.
Herrera faces a maximum sentence of
five years and eight months in state
prison. With the plea agreement, the
Pomona resident is looking at three
years in a state facility, but will most
likely serve about 18 months of that
sentence.
The Claremont Police Department
declined to comment on this case.
As the COURIER previously re-
ported, Lt. Jason Walters shot Mr. Her-
rera at about 3 a.m. on May 5 while
patrolling in search of a reported stolen
vehicle. As the officer drove closer to
the vehicle, the car sped away. Mo-
ments later, police located the car,
which appeared to be empty and ap-
proached the car on foot. The driver,
Mr. Herrera, suddenly put the car in re-
verse toward the officer, at which time,
the officer shot at the vehicle, striking
the accused in the upper left torso.
According to Detective Adan Torres
with Los Angeles County Sheriffs De-
partment Homicide Bureau, the depart-
ment has concluded their investigation
into the officer-involved shooting. The
results of that investigation are in the
process of being sent to the Los Ange-
les County District Attorneys Officer
Involved Shooting team for review,
said Det. Torres. The COURIER will
report on the results of those findings
when they become available.

laremont community members
mingled with glasses in hand Sun-
day, June 1 at the seventh annual
Mi Casa es Su Casa charity event bene-
fiting the Claremont Community Founda-
tion and Claremont Educational
Foundation.
Hosted at Hotel Casa 425, over 170 guests attended
the soiree and savored a variety of foods, fine wines,
spirits and beers as they strolled through the courtyard
to the sounds of the Brandon Bernstein Trio.
The event offered a little something for everyone
with eats from Spaggis, Loving Hut, Viva Madrid and
Hotel Casa 425 as well as libations from Dale Bros.
Brewery, Claremont Craft Ales, Vom Fass, Plume
Ridge and Chacewater Winery just to name a few.
Vom Fass Claremont and their staff concocted sev-
eral unique cocktails featuring their signature spirits.
The Hemingway Absinthe cocktail made with Liber-
tine 72 Absinthe was a favorite among guests.
No doubt, the highlight of the evening was the raffle
emceed by Ken Corhan. With 14 prize packages in-
cluding such items as dinner theater for two at the Can-
dlelight Pavilion, a $350 gift certificate to The
Diamond Center, a J. Augur designer handbag and a
night for two at a Newport Beach boutique hotel,
guests opened their hearts and their wallets to con-
tribute to the cause.
The raffle sold out, we had a terrific, great group of
people, says Richard Chute, CEF president. A spe-
cial thanks to Andrew Behnke and the hotel for their
generous support.
At $40 a raffle ticket, Mr. Behnkes generosity did
indeed pay off and not just for the event organizers.
The general manager of the DoubleTree hotel left the
event winning three of the 14 raffle prizes: a Dale Bros.
Brewery basket, a Date Night package and a night at
the theater.
Other winners included Michelle Mitchell, recipient
of the J. Auger handbag, and Linda Scott, winner of
The Diamond Centers $350 gift certificate. Ive
never won anything before, she said.
The grand prize, a night for two at Newport Beach
Hotel including complimentary continental breakfast
and use of the hotels bicycles and beach toys, went
home with Tim Tipping.
I cant take it, but my wife will, Mr. Tipping said.
Shes had a busy weekend with Sycamore Celebrates
on Friday and the Folk Festival yesterday. Shell be
thrilled!
The Claremont Community Foundation and the
Claremont Education Foundation will share proceeds
from the event.
This years event should prove to equally success-
ful in terms of our goal, Mr. Chute said. Weve
grossed over $12,000 and should net about $10,000.
Weve very happy.
The Claremont Community Foundation (CCF) was
established in 1989 to enrich the lives of citizens in
Claremont and its surrounding communities. Through
donor-advised funds, endowments and legacy gifts,
CCF has awarded more than $500,000 to support over
300 art and community impact projects, programs, and
initiatives.
The Claremont Educational Foundation is a non-
profit organization founded in 1991 and through a vari-
ety of fundraising efforts and relationships in the
community, has been able to help provide art and
music instruction as well as fund technology in the
Claremont Unified School District.
With the Mi Casa es Su Casa event winding up a
weekend chocked full of activities in Claremont, Mr.
Chute was thankful for the generous spirit of the people
in the community.
When we have so many nonprofit organizations
collaborate in our community, we can do some pretty
wonderful things. Its just fantastic.

Preparing for the future
T
he United States of
America, a nation con-
ceived in liberty and
dedicated to the idea that all
men are created equal, was an
oddity in the world when it
came into being. Active citi-
zens would maintain this lib-
erty through participatory
republicanism. The holiday for
celebrating this freedom is ar-
riving next month.
America is coming upon its 238th
birthday. With the Fourth of July fast
approaching, with all the barbecues
with loved ones, festive parades and
fireworks, it is important to reflect on
how interfaith fits into the founding of
the United States of America.
During the spring of 2004, a good
friend of mine was graduating from
Washington and Lee Law School in Vir-
ginia. After the graduation, some sight-
seeing was in order. The state of
Virginia produced something appropri-
ately named the Virginia Dynasty, be-
cause four out of the first five US.
Presidents, except for John Adams,
came from the Old Dominion. Most of
these presidents left amazing homes
scattered throughout Virginia.
Montpelier, the palatial home (the
second largest in Virginia) of James
Madison, was being restored at the
time, but the grounds were stunning.
Madison described Montpelier as Just
a squirrels jump from heaven.
The next home on the tour was James
Monroes cozy home near Char-
lottesville. The final destination of the
tour was the home of Thomas Jefferson.
Monticello, the never fully finished
home, was majestic. Located atop a
small hill promontory, Monticello was
inspired by Mr. Jeffersons frequent
trips to France. Mr. Jefferson, the inces-
sant Francophile-inspired architect, was
busy adding additions to Monticello
throughout most of his life. After seeing
many of his wondrous inventions, it was
time to end the tour, which concluded
with the viewing of the Jefferson family
cemetery.
In the center of the family plot stands
the obelisk-shaped gravestone of
Thomas Jefferson. There are three ac-
complishments listed on the headstone.
The first is author of the Declaration
of Independence; father of the Univer-
sity of Virginia. Curiously missing is
that he served as the third president of
the United States. What would be the
pinnacle for most lives lived was a
minor accomplishment for Mr. Jeffer-
son. Oddly enough, a feat receiving
scant attention is the second item on his
epitaph: Statute of Virginia for Reli-
gious Freedom.
In 1777, Thomas Jefferson intro-
duced a draft bill into the Virginia state
legislature. With the help of James
Madison, the bill finally became law
1779. Section 1 of a perambulatory
clause states that all attempts to influ-
ence it by temporal punishments, or
burthens, or by civil incapacitations,
tend only to beget habits of hypocrisy
and meanness, and are a departure from
the plan of the holy author of our reli-
gion, who being lord both of body and
mind, yet chose not to propagate it by
coercions on either, as was in his
Almighty power to do, but to extend it
by its influence on reason alone.
Section two of the law states that all
men shall be free to profess, and by ar-
gument to maintain, their opinions in
matters of religion, and that the same
shall in no wise diminish, enlarge, or af-
fect their civil capacities.
The statute for religious freedom did
not become a law without some opposi-
tion from Patrick Henry. Mr. Henry
tried to insert an amendment, so that the
preamble would read, A departure
from the plan of Jesus Christ, the holy
author of our religion. This is when
Mr. Jefferson commented that the
statute was meant to, By a great major-
ity in proof that they meant to compre-
hend, within the mantle of its protec-
tion, the Jew and the Gentile, the
Christian and the Mohammedan, the
Hindoo and the Infidel of every denom-
ination.
Mr. Jefferson clearly states that the
freedom of choosing a faith (or not to
follow one) was solely under the juris-
diction of the individual. Mr. Jefferson
imagined a nation that would one day
be inhabited by adherents from a
panoply of faiths. The interfaith move-
ment is alive and well in Claremont. We
come together in times of tragedy and
celebration. After the terrorist attacks on
September 11, 2001, a local Muslim
house of worship was receiving threats.
The Claremont interfaith community
gathered in the evening in a show of
support for the mosque. Senior Pastor
Butch Henderson stood up and said,
An attack on the Islamic Center of
Claremont is an attack on the United
Church of Christ. We also come to-
gether in celebration.
The Claremont Interfaith Council in-
vites individuals and other houses of
worship to participate and plan for the
baccalaureate program in the spring and
the Thanksgiving worship in the fall.
It would seem that residents of Clare-
mont are living up to the Jeffersonian
vision of living in a nation where people
of different faiths would be allowed to
express them freely and, yes, even co-
operate for a better future.

Claremonter goes to
state finals of National
Geographic Bee
Q: The Aral Sea lies between Kaza-
khstan and what other country? (answer
below)
Charlie Warren, a 5th grade student at
Chaparral Elementary School, knew the
answer to that question and more when he
competed in the California state finals of
the National Geographic Bee in Fresno.
Charlie qualified for the state finals by
winning his elementary school bee, then
scoring in the top 100 of 4th-8th grade
school-level winners in the state on a
written exam.
The Geography Bee encompasses top-
ics of locations, culture, politics, religion,
history and current events. On the young
side of contestants, Charlie looks for-
ward to competing again over the next
few years. (A: Uzbekistan)
Bicycle safety class
A free bicycle safety class sponsored
by the city of Claremont and the Clare-
mont Senior Bike Group will be held at
the Hughes Community Center, 1700
Danbury Rd., on Tuesday, June 17 from
6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The class will be taught
by League of American Bicyclists-certi-
fied instructors and is open to kids from
4th grade up to adults. Kids under 16
must be accompanied by a parent. Par-
ticipants will learn how to safely ride on
city streets. Reserve a spot by contacting
Tom Shelley at tshelley47@gmail.com.
I
think I just gave my son the best-ever
ride to school. It involved fast food,
soda, candy, unlimited control of music
selection and free Continental breakfast!
And, at the end of the ride, he got to keep
the car.
Unlike the daily jaunts to his grammar school that used
to involve a three-block limousine-like experience
(Would you like me to help you carry your backpack,
sir? or Will you be finishing that Pop-Tart or should I
expect to find it under the seat later this week?), this was
a journey of epic proportionsa little over 1,000
milesinvolving approximately four rest stops, two trips
to Target, one excursion to Ikea, and several hours of
wondering who in the Netherlands translates Swedish
directions into English.
My son was returning to the Seattle area, where he
will be a junior at the University of Puget Sound in Sep-
tember, to work at a summer internship for a life insur-
ance and financial services corporation. He moved into
the house where hell be living for the year.
First, the drive.
We left in the family station wagon, an ark-like ve-
hicle in which my husband and I felt our son would
enjoy relative safety. As we pulled onto the major north-
south artery through the Pacific states, I recalled my
own years of family travel in a similar car, facing back-
wards, watching the Worlds Largest, Greatest, what-
ever go by from the third-row seat.
This time I was co-piloting with complete control
over pit stops and temperature regulation. My son was
DJ-ingjazz and Frank Sinatrasome I could sing-
along with, and some, much to my sons great relief, I
could not. Our first break was for cheeseburgers, fries
and shakes. The meals only deviated from that point on
by supposed country of origin, though I doubt those of
Hispanic heritage would claim the waffle taco or Ital-
ians, the ham, bacon and pineapple pan pizza.
Second, the house.
What can one say about a lovely old Craftsman-style
cottage thats been taken-over by college-aged young
men? Yuck comes first to mind.
We purchased a futon, the assembly of which pro-
vided bonding time I can only compare to the intense
work of finishing a science fair project at 2 a.m. on the
morning it is due (and running out of glue stick). My
son was incredulous that the small hex-wrench was all
we required to turn the flat-pack box into a piece of fur-
niture. I was in denial that, in order to finish the project,
I would have to spend considerable time kneeling on
the questionably-matted shag carpet in his new room.
Like Cinderella, my time was short, and before I
knew it, my son was delivering me to the airport. My
return trip would be two hours instead of two days and
I was on my own. My son was in his big boy pants,
ready for his first day of work.
As I buckled-up for take-off, I thought about the
small boy whose stick-like legs once dangled over the
piano bench as he first learned to plunk the scales and
the fine young man whod just kissed me on the cheek
and said, I wish you could have stayed longer.
How lucky Ive been to share this journey with him,
and how much I look forward to seeing where his
dreams and ambitions take him.
The last car pool

OUR TOWN
Charlie Warren of Claremont recently
competed in the state finals of the Na-
tional Geographic Bee inFresno.
F
or El Roble history
teacher Ken Kirkwood,
a good story is the heart
of history.
For well over three decades, he has
taught US history to Claremonts junior
high kids, roping in their interest with
tales of courage, intrigue, sacrifice and
rebellion. Mr. Kirkwood doesnt just tell
stories to hook students, though. He tells
them to keep the stories alive.
I have always felt it is important to
make sure that the people in American
history who shouldnt be forgotten are
not forgotten, he said.
Take Elizabeth Blackwell. You may
not have heard of her, but she was a fear-
less pioneer. In 1849, in the face of enor-
mous opposition, she became the first
American woman to earn a medical de-
gree.
By contrast, there is little doubt that
you have heard of Samuel Clemens, bet-
ter known as Mark Twain. But did you
know that the legendary speaker, author
and humorist once helped out a dying
president?
President Ulysses S. Grant, out of of-
fice and facing bankruptcy, made an
agreement with a publisher to write his
memoirs. When his good friend Mark
Twain got wind of the deal and found
out the paltry sum he would be paid, he
offered to publish the book under his
own imprint, with Grant receiving the
majority of royalties.
Grant, who was dying of cancer, spent
his last months putting down the story of
his life. The result is considered the best
presidential autobiography ever written.
Of more immediate importance to
Grants bereaved family, the book
yielded his widow $400,000.
Mr. Kirkwood shared these stories
with the COURIER on Wednesday, the
day before the last day of school at El
Roble, the conclusion of which would
signify the start of his retirement.
The latter story was made more vivid
by the fact that the teacher was wearing
a T-shirt emblazoned with the face of
Mark Twain. Mr. Kirkwood, who
teaches US history from the Colonial pe-
riod to 1914, has a different historical T-
shirt for every day of the school year. He
coordinates his wardrobe with his cur-
riculum, selecting a shirt that coincides
with whatever time period his class is
currently studying.
I dont know what Im going to do
with all these T-shirts. Maybe Ill quilt a
hot air balloon, he joked.
With his salt-and-pepper beard and
earnest but casual demeanor, its easy to
see why students like him.
He makes history funhe makes it
come alive in multiple ways, 8th grader
Mikayla Platt said. On the first day of
school, he dressed up as a monk and did
some chanting. US history is already one
of my favorite subjects, but he makes it
even more enjoyable.
With their work for the year done, Mr.
Kirkwood was showing his students a
movie. During his COURIER interview,
he popped back into the room intermit-
tently to make sure that the kids werent
up to any mischief. Each time, he found
them quietly watching the film.
Theyre so good, he said.
Intermediate school kids have a repu-
tation for being difficult.
When I tell people I teach junior
high, they recoil in horror, he laughed.
But I love the age, because you can
joke and laugh and theyre excited about
things. You never know what youre
going to get, kind of like that box of
chocolates. One moment, they can be so
grown up. But theyre still kids.
There is more than a bit of the kid in

Longtime El Roble teacher Ken Kirkwood embraces fellow teacher Debbie Foster following the performance of a tribute song
celebrating Mr. Kirkwooda retirement on Tuesday at the school. Dressed to look like Mr. Kirkwood, the teachers sang a mod-
ified version of Get on Board Little Children that lauded his accomplishments during his 37-year tenure.

carrying parasols and the men in straw boaters. Hes
written a number of articles on his hobby, which have
been printed in publications such as Model Railroader.
Between the train tableaux and bookcases overflowing
with books on history, his home will likely be a won-
derland for his grandchildren, a 4-year-old grandson
and one-year-old granddaughter, as they grow up.
Mr. Kirkwood, who was named the Claremont Uni-
fied School Districts Teacher of the Year in 2009, has
known he wanted to be a history teacher since he was
in 5th grade, and counts as his greatest influences a
couple of history teachers whose classes he had the
good fortune to attend.
I had this one history teacher, she could have been
reading the phone book and I would have been inter-
ested, he said.
Mr. Kirkwood has likewise enjoyed making history
interesting and even amusing.
Theres no greater sound to me than a child laugh-
ing, and the sound of a child laughing when learning is
amazing, he said. Ive had more joy than anyone has
a right to expect.
His enthusiasm for his subject and his students has
been evident since he began teaching. After getting a
bachelors degree in history from the University of
Redlands as well as a masters degree in early child-
hood development, Mr. Kirkwood, who grew up in
Torrance, landed in the Claremont Unified School Dis-
trict.
He started in 1977 at the short-lived La Puerta Inter-
mediate School, which closed after his first year there,
followed by two years at Sumner Elementary School.
He then moved on to El Roble Intermediate School and
has been there since. In a serendipitous turn of affairs,
Mr. Kirkwood also served as the schools drama
teacher for 30 years.
Im not really a theater person, he confided. But
one day, the principal called me in and said, You like
kids. Youre the drama teacher.
Along with delving into the world of the stage, Mr.
Kirkwood served for a time as the yearbook editor and
as adviser for the journalism class. He has also taught a
number of interesting electives, including a murder
mystery class and another on simulation games. He has
additionally served as the department chairs of the fine
arts and social science departments at El Roble.
For the last several years, Mr. Kirkwood has team
taught, sharing the same batch of 8th graders with Eng-
lish teacher Jenny McGourty-Riggs. The two teachers
have integrated their respective lesson plans in a way
that perfectly dovetails with the nations new Common
Core curriculum and provided a powerful learning at-
mosphere for their students. While Mr. Kirkwood has
covered the Civil War, Ms. McGourty-Riggs has taught
the students vocabulary related to the era. The teaching
team also has collaborated on projects relating to the
Colonial period and the exploration of Lewis Clark,
immersive experiences complete with costumes.
Mr. Kirkwood is proud of the impact he has had on
the countless students he has taught. He was recently
touched when school board member Nancy Treser Os-
good shared that her son, who is at Oxford, is studying
history because of Mr. Kirkwoods class. He looks
back on his career as being the proverbial E-ticket ride.
Claremont, in some ways, is Disneyland, he said.
Kids want to read books as opposed to only using
electronic devices. I see what I have in my classroom. I
see kids going places, kids that are going to write their
own ticket. Claremont has been very good to methe
district, the community, Claremonts children.
The newly-retired Mr. Kirkwood plans to fill the
extra time afforded by retirement by digging into his
miles-deep book collection and writing more about
model trains. Most of all, he is looking forward to
spending time with his grandkids, who live just a cou-
ple of blocks away.
If the El Roble staff had any doubts as to where Mr.
Kirkwoods priorities lie, they were put to rest earlier
this week during a tearful moment.
The history department threw a party for me and
were singing a ballad about me and my teaching. In the
middle of it, my little granddaughter made her way to
grandpa. I picked her up, and the whole department
was demolished.

Dawn Scherer
Longtime supporter of arts, loving mother and grandmother
OBITUARIES
Dawn Burleigh Scherer of Claremont
died May 31, 2014 at Pomona Valley
Hospital following a very brief illness.
Mrs. Scherer was surrounded by her
family and a great amount of love.
Dawn Valerie Burleigh was born on
May 27, 1942 to Ed and Mattie
Burleigh in Greenfield, Massachusetts.
She was a graduate of Greenfield High
School in 1960, and then attended
Chamberlain College in Boston, where
she majored in marketing and public re-
lations. She studied watercolor painting
with Stephen Hamilton and oil painting
with Stephen Munity, well-known
artists in Massachusetts.
In June of 1963, the then Miss
Burleigh met Nelson Scherer of Clare-
mont. The couple married on August
15, 1964 in Greenfield after Mr.
Scherer was commissioned as a Second
Lieutenant in the US Army. The couple
began their life together in Fort Ben-
ning, Georgia. They later lived in
Lanesboro, Massachusetts and in San
Jose, California for a time before set-
tling in Pomona, California and then in
Claremont in 1992 at the longtime
Scherer family home.
An avid supporter of the arts for over
three decades, Mrs. Scherer was a fre-
quent president of the Pomona Valley
Art Association. She also worked for
advertising agencies, radio and televi-
sion stations and political candidates.
She was a past Cultural Arts Commis-
sioner for the city of Pomona and
served on the boards of the Claremont
and Pomona Heritage societies as well
as The Webb Schools of California,
Foothill Country Day School and
Pomona Valley Art Association.
Seven years ago, Mrs. Scherer estab-
lished the Artist Demonstrator Program
for the Millard Sheets Center for the
Arts and coordinated the Sheets Center
Gallery Store during the Los Angeles
County Fair during each of those years.
Family members noted that Mrs.
Scherer was known by friends as a
North Star to many lost travelers, al-
ways shining bright and giving guid-
ance, generosity, hope and love. She
became a mother to anyone who
needed one and a friend to everyone
who crossed her path.
Friends confirmed that. Ah, where
to start, commented Tony Sheets of
Claremont. She was an incredible per-
son who picked up strays, took in kids
whose parents werent doing right by
themshe was a very talented person,
a wonderful part of the [Millard Sheets[
galleryand provided opportunities
for many local artists.
Chris Stoner-Meyer, one of Mrs.
Scherers associates at the Sheets
Gallery, reflected of her friend, She
was a wonderful, dedicated mother to
alljust a great person.
Mrs. Scherer is survived by her hus-
band, Nelson Scherer; by her brother
and sister-in-law, Bill and Elizabeth
Burleigh of Lakewood, California; by
her daughters and sons-in-law, Jenny
and Chris Carlson of Kirkland, Wash-
ington and Laurel and Tripp Meister of
Laguna Beach and by her son, David
Scherer of Claremont. She also leaves
her grandchildren, Jeffrey, Kevin and
Lucas Carlson, Hailey and Ty Meister
and numerous nieces and nephews.
A memorial service in honor of Mrs.
Scherer will be held on Saturday, June
14, 2014 at 1:30 p.m. at Trinity
Methodist Church in Pomona.
Pat Yarborough
OBITUARIES
Ruth Bobo, a longtime Claremont High School
teacher, died peacefully on Saturday, June 7, 2014
surrounded by family and friends. She was 76.
Mrs. Bobo was born on March 16, 1938 in Parker,
California to Arlie Moultrie and Evelyn Moultrie (ne
Moats). Soon, the family returned to Moulton, Ala-
bama. While her father, a carpenter, ran his successful
lumber mill and building business, her mother
worked with him, leaving 10-year-old Ruth Ann to
cook dinners and care for her siblings, Joan, Peggy,
and Dan. She became a mother figure, according to
her sister, Peggy Henson.
Whatever I needed, I could always go to her, she
said. Always enterprising, at age 12, Ruth Ann started
a local newspaper with a girlfriend and sold single-
sheet mimeographed copies for a penny-a-piece.
Growing up, she also picked cotton every season, and
the summer she was 15, she took the train alone to
Chicago and worked as a typist, a job she got the day
after she arrived.
Her beauty was complemented by her music and ac-
ademic talents. In 1953, Ruth Ann was crowned Miss
Aiken Co-Op; her photo graced an edition Reality,
the electric companys trade publication. Winning the
title boosted her confidence. When she returned to Al-
abama, she was voted Sadie Hawkins Day Queen and
May Queen at Lawrence County High School. After
playing the clarinet for a year in the marching band,
she attained the status of drum majorette, conducting
and leading the band. She earned the title of valedicto-
rian of her graduating class.
During her first year at Florence State Teachers
College (now the University of North Alabama), she
met fellow student John Bobo. We jitterbugged. She
was an outstanding dancer, he remembered. Later,
when I saw how she cared for her siblings, I knew she
would make a great mother.
With a year of college under her belt, she married
Mr. Bobo on July 8, 1956. After a honeymoon in
Estes Park, Colorado, the couple moved to Birming-
ham, Alabama. There, Mrs. Bobo completed her
bachelors degree in English at Howard College (now
Samford University).
Next, the couple moved to New Orleans, where
Mrs. Bobo earned a masters degree in English litera-
ture at Tulane University. The day she got her degree,
the couple moved to California, where Ruth taught at
Slauson Middle School in Azusa and at Glendora
High School.
After their daughter Elizabeth was born, the couple
moved to Claremont because of its excellent schools.
Mrs. Bobo began teaching at Claremont High in
1967, shortly before her second child, Brian, was
born. She quickly became active in the school, serv-
ing as faculty adviser of the Wolfpacket and the year-
book in the 1970s.
COURIER publisher Peter Weinberger remembers
being a photographer for the student newspaper at the
time. She had a specific game plan on what we were
going to accomplish and expected a lot. But she
would help you get there. She was very popular, he
said in a 2007 COURIER article.
In the classroom, Mrs. Bobo taught a range of lan-
guage arts classes, from creative writing to Advanced
Placement English. She hoped her influence as a
teacher would extend well beyond the classroom.
My goal, she often said, was to teach students not
only to write but also to have something to say.
Mrs. Bobo may have left the South, but she re-
tained her gentility throughout her life. She charmed
people with her engaging demeanor and delightful ac-
cent. She always showed southern hospitality, wel-
coming guests with iced tea and having homemade
biscuits on the stovetop when her childrens friends
came over after school. She enjoyed cooking southern
dinners and baking iced apple cookies, fresh coconut
cakes and her bourbon-laced Lane Cake.
She contributed to the homemade ice cream socials
at the Claremont Presbyterian Church. She also loved
to read and teach southern writers, including William
Faulkner, Flannery OConnor and Tennessee
Williams. She was the recipient of two National En-
dowment of the Humanities Summer Fellowships: one
on Catholic Mysticism at Fordham University, the
other on Islamic Mysticism at Columbia University.
With her Alabama drawl, her passion for literature
and her warm and humorous engagement with stu-
dents, Mrs. Bobo was a well-loved teacher at Clare-
mont High School. She was named Grand Marshall
of the Homecoming Parade in 1999, and the 2004-05
yearbook was dedicated to her for her many years of
devotion to several generations of Claremont stu-
dents.
The kids got a kick out of her. They were touched
by her humanitybeing open, caring and down-to-
earth, CHS English teacher Becca Feeney said in a
2007 COURIER article.
She was always straightforward and honest,
Teresa Garcia, a 1993 CHS graduate added. She
treated her students with total respect when it was
earned.
In an online tribute, Jack Myers said Mrs. Bobo
was the most inspirational teacher he encountered
while at CHS. He took a moment to share one of her
many out-of-the-box teaching methods: She did this
thing called guided imagery, Mr. Myers said. She
had the classroom shut its eyes, and she was able to
transport the class to a dream state to see the time and
place in a fiction or nonfiction book. It was not a
hokey-pokey thing but really cool. It was an in-depth
experience to be alive at that time and to show a great
appreciation for the historical context.
Mrs. Bobos son, Brian, recalls that when his
mother became his junior-year English teacher she
treated him just like other students. I learned pretty
quickly not to call her mom, he laughed.
Her niece Emily Moultrie served as a teaching as-
sistant for Mrs. Bobo during her freshman year and
got to see her spitfire aunt in action. She was always
so mannered and just lovely. But she knew what time
it was, Ms. Moultrie recalled. If you paid attention
and really listened, she would let you work at your
own pace and do what you needed to do. But if you
tried to pull one over on her, she would call you out in
a second.
Mrs. Bobo had a full life outside of school. She
was a natural athlete, who excelled at snow and water
skiing. She was a devoted mother, who served as
leader for her daughters Girl Scout troop and at-
tended all her sons football games. Each year, the
Bobos would take a car trip to Florence, Alabama
where relatives still resided. Those summer vacations
were idyllic times for her and her children.
She taught me to catch lightening bugs in a jar and
how to tie a thread on June bug, Brian said.
She traveled widely, including trips to Hawaii, New
York and Europe, as well as three trips to Egypt
where her daughter was teaching at the American
University in Cairo. During these trips, she visited
Bethlehem and Jerusalem and she celebrated the Mil-
lennium at the Pyramids. In 1993, she travelled to
Russia to participate in a conference organized by
Claremonts Committee of Women for Russian-
American Dialogue. Later in life, she and her sister
Peggy travelled to meet her daughters colleagues at
the University of Louisiana at Lafayette English De-
partment. She intended to continue her travels upon
Ruth Bobo
Unforgettable teacher, loving mother, southern belle

her retirement, planning to live for a
summer in Spain. Because of her love
of opera, she also planned to go back to
Italy. Her last trip was to Chicago to at-
tend her daughters wedding and her
son-in-laws graduation from a PhD
program.
Hosting parties was among her great
joys and most refined skills. One year
she threw a party every week for three
months, finding that attending to the so-
cial and emotional wellbeing of others
improved her spirits. In addition to the
annual holiday gatherings such as the
Tenth Street Luminary Night and
Fourth of July, she hosted Shakespeare
play-readings during which readers
would finish a five-act play. There were
also literary character costume parties
for her students. At one such party, Ruth
dressed up as the pregnant Lena Grove
from Light in August, saying, My,
my, a body does get around. More re-
cently she, Peggy and Liza attended a
literary costume party dressed as Daisy,
Jordan and Myrtle from The Great
Gatsby, one of Ruths favorite novels.
A longtime fan of poetry, Mrs.
Bobos retirement dreams included cre-
ating and hosting a local access televi-
sion show about poetry. She often gave
friends a hardbound edition of the
works of e. e. cummings, some of
whose poems she had committed to
memory: one winter afternoon/(at the
magical hour when is becomes if)/a be-
spangled clown/standing on eighth
street/handed me a flower.
Upon retirement at age 69, Mrs.
Bobo, who had long battled the debili-
tating effects of rheumatoid arthritis,
was hit with Parkinsons disease. By
the time she was 72, her mounting
health concerns now required 24-hour
in-home care. Relying on others was a
hard pill for the always-independent
Mrs. Bobo to swallow. The significant
expense also drained her income. By
October 2012, she was faced with the
very real possibility of having to give
up her home of 40 years for a long-
term care facility that would not pro-
vide the intimate and continuous care
she required.
As a result, the Save Mrs. Bobo
campaign was launched. When Arin
Allen, a CHS class of 92 alumnus,
learned of Mrs. Bobos troubles, he
joined with other concerned former stu-
dents to create a donation website and
numerous fundraisers, the goal of
which was to offset the cost of Mrs.
Bobos care and medication long
enough for her to be able to remain in
her home through her 80th birthday.
Explaining what prompted him to help
his favorite high school teacher, Mr.
Allen spoke with passion.
There are certain people in our lives
whom we cant refuse. When you have
a mentor, an elder whos invested in
you, you cant say no. Your heart
wouldnt let you.
Mrs. Bobo died four years shy of 80
but, according to the family, the com-
munitys response made a tremendous
difference: it helped her stay in her
home until the end of her life. She was
also deeply touched by the many let-
ters, cards and visits she received as a
result of the campaign. Her last request
regarding the campaign was to thank
everyone for all the love and support
they showed her. The donations and
well-wishes brought great joy and posi-
tive energy into Mrs. Bobos life in her
final years.
Mrs. Bobo remained sharp as a tack
until her final moments, inviting every-
one to read to her, whether it be from a
novel or the editorial section of the Los
Angeles Times. Peggy lived with her sis-
ter the last three years of her life and
they brought each other comfort and
emotional support. Particularly sustain-
ing was her lunch bunch especially
Jean Collinsworth, Emilia Trakovsky
and Ann Donnan for their love and
friendship, including most recently the
exquisite high-tea party they threw for
this years birthday. Mrs. Bobos family
wishes to express their gratitude for the
dedicated work and loving companion-
ship of her long-term caregivers,
Donna, Julia, Geraldine, Margie,
Kristina and Susanne.
She is predeceased by her sister Joan
Mack and her brother Dan Moultrie.
She is survived by her former husband
and longtime friend, John Bobo; her
daughter and son-in-law, Elizabeth
Bobo and Michael Petersen; her son,
Brian Bobo; her grandson, Henry Pe-
tersen; her sister, Peggy Henson; her
sister-in-law, Carly Moultrie; her
nieces, Susanne Hyvarinen, Melissa
Moultrie and Emily Moultrie; her
nephews, Scott McDoniel and Robert
Hyvarinen; and several grand-nephews
and grand-nieces.
The visitation will be Thursday, June
19 from 4 to 8 p.m. at Todd Memorial
Chapel, 325 N. Indian Hill Blvd. The
memorial service will be Friday, June 20
at 11 a.m. at Claremont Presbyterian
Church, 1111 N. Mountain Ave. Fri-
days service will be followed by a
graveside service at Oak Park Cemetery.

OBITUARIES
cost to the city of about $75,000.
T
he ballot measure, which was
drafted at Tuesdays meeting,
would require a yes or no vote
and would read as follows:
Shall the city of Claremont be authorized to issue
water revenue bonds in the maximum amount of
$55,000,000 for the purpose of acquiring the Clare-
mont Water System and other expenses related to the
bond issue, paid for solely by water system revenues,
but only if the purchase price of the system exceeds
$80,000,000?
In March, city consultants put the fair market ap-
praisal of the Claremont water system at $55,094,000
and advised that the city may have to pay as much as
$80 million. Golden State Water claims that the fair
market value of the water system is substantially
higher. The purpose of the water bond would be to
generate an additional $55 million in the event they
are right.
As Claremont resident Ludd Trozpek pointed out,
there didnt appear to be any legal or calendar impedi-
ment in postponing the councils vote on the water
bond issue. In fact, Mr. Trozpek implored council to
consider reviewing the MOU presented, as it would
be a no-cost show of good faith to explore all propos-
als for resolution.
I know there is a good bit of mistrust with Golden
State Water, I have it myself, he said. To be polite,
in almost all cases they are very difficult to defend,
and Ive been watching them since 1995. However, to
quote Yasser Arafat, You make treaties with your en-
emies, with your friends you make business. I think
all the smart attorneys on both sides could put an
iron-clad agreement together.
Councilmember Larry Shroeder asked the question
on everyones mind. If we put this on the ballot
tonight, could we pull it from the ballot later?
According to City Attorney Sonia Carvalho, the
Elections Code provides for a withdrawal deadline of
88 days prior to the November election, giving the
city until August 13 to rescind the ballot measure.
Perhaps seeing an out if they need to backtrack and
a good start if they dont, council unanimously ap-
proved the resolution for a special election.
City Manager Tony Ramos confirmed Wednesday
that the city attorney had notified Golden State about
the councils decision to move forward on the water
revenue bond election, but reiterated that the council
remains open to discussion with Golden State on their
20-point Memorandum of Understanding.
Mayor Lyons agrees.
If Golden State Water is serious about working
with the city on real solutions, our door is open, Mr.
Lyons said. The city has been engaged with our resi-
dents for over two years through this process. Where
is Golden State Water Companys transparency when
it comes to their rates, tariffs, surcharges, and now
signing agreements with advocacy groups?
Councilman Corey Calaycay was very spirited in
urging the water company to come before the public to
discuss the new proposal drafted with CAWA.
This is very inappropriate, Mr. Calaycay said to a
packed council chamber. If they have an MOU, then
put it here on the table so that the council and every-
body else can see it. Not your minions but, you your-
self, Ms. Krueger. Come here and present your proposal
in public, dont hide. The irony is they have a couple of
representatives outside who are watching from a dis-
tance but wont even come in the room and speak them-
selves, so lets be honest about it.
Its unclear if Golden State remains open to discus-
sions with the city given Tuesday nights decision.
There has never been a public takeover of a water
system where the acquisition and rate promises have
come true, and Claremont will be no different, says a
spokesperson for GSWC. Golden State Water be-
lieves residents should have the opportunity to vote
on the entire financing proposal of $135 million and
continues to recommend that the city operate trans-
parently, produce public information and allow for a
full review of their plan.
The outcome of the revenue bond measure will re-
inforce which side of the water table Claremont resi-
dents want to be on. What side are you on? Visit
www.claremont-courier.com to participate in our poll.

Girl Scouts lend a hand

in the garden at school
I
ts been a banner year for growing
things in the Claremont Unified
School District.
But even dedicated plant boosters like CUSDs
Community Garden Coordinator Dessa DAquila
cant be everywhere. When it was noticed that the
garden at Chaparral Elementary School was looking a
little lackluster, a number of groups stepped in, ea-
gerly offering their green thumbs.
The eight Junior Girl Scouts of Troop #2584 of-
fered up their elbow grease, as did students and staff
of the Chaparral Day Care. A local Boy Scout work-
ing towards his Eagle Scout award also joined in the
efforts.
With a little help, the kids got busy planting. Now,
the garden is teeming with leafy life. The corn is high
as the proverbial elephants eye. Towering sunflowers
are bending toward the sun and six of the gardens
cabbages are reportedly bigger than a human head.
Other garden denizens include patches of white
radish, tomatoes, zuchinni, squash, peppers and
onions. Tiny pumpkins are just beginning to show up,
but the broccoli is having a difficult time.
At the suggestion of Diana Kaljumagi, an avid gar-
dener who is the mother of a 5th grade Sycamore stu-
dent, Suvi, they have also included an edible wall,
where kids can sample herbs such as chocolate mint,
basil and rosemary.
The kids just love it, said Catherine Caporal, the
mother of one of the industrious girl scouts.
A number of adults help oversee the kids work, in-
cluding Principal Julie Olesniewicz, who will be
leaving Chaparral at the end of the year but fully sup-
ported the efforts to re-invigorate the schools garden;
second grade teacher Margaret Russell, who offered
financial support and nutrition and sustainability ex-
pertise along with Ms. Kaljumagi. Sheila Olson-
Pompa supervised the pint-sized gardeners from the
day care.
The Girl Scouts spent more than 20 hours working
this year, visiting the Chaparral garden every other
week to weed, plant, water and learn more about cul-
tivating the land. The troop even gained a new mem-
ber when a girl saw the scouts working in the garden
and asked if she could join up.
The biggest accomplishment was obtaining the
Girl Scout Bronze Award for volunteering for a large
project, Ms. Caporal shared. It is the highest award
that a Junior can achieve.

paintings are in many major museums
and collections including the Museum
of Long Beach, the Pasadena Museum
of Art and the private collection of
Robert Redford. The limited-edition
prints are made through a giclee method
that takes a digital image of an original
painting and, using pigments on fine-art
paper, produces richly-colored, high-
quality prints. The pieces range from
16 x 12 (for $125) to 37 x 30 (for
$375). Ms. Hertel lived and worked in
southern California for close to 30 years,
moving from Evanston, Illinois to attend
Scripps College in 1950. She also stud-
ied at the Kann Institute in Los Angeles.
Ms. Hertel moved to New Mexico in
1980 where she painted full-time until
her death in 1993, leaving few works
unsold. These pieces offer a rare oppor-
tunity to acquire an acclaimed Susan
Hertel print.

MOVIE LISTINGS
A
n unlikely group of
Azusa Pacific Univer-
sity alumnia police
officer, a music pastor and a
teachercame together and
made a full length feature-film
to be released next weekend.
Turnaround Jake debuts dur-
ing a special engagement at the
Claremont Laemmle Theatres
from June 20 through June 26.
The projects goal
was to create a cul-
turally relevant
Christian film that
entertains and en-
gages the millennial
culture. These local film makers drew
from their education and the network
they developed at Azusa Pacific Uni-
versity. They worked with extremely
limited resources including a $70,000
budget and very little entertainment in-
dustry experience.
The filmmakers include Upland res-
ident Jarret Lemaster as the lead actor,
who wrote and performed all the music
in the film, Ontario resident Shawn
Svoboda filled the role of writer and
producer, Ontario resident Christa
(Burroughs) Svoboda served as loca-
tion manager/featured background,
Los Angeles resident Mackenzie
Marsh worked as casting director/sup-
porting cast and Pasadena resident
Jared Isham directed.
The story centers around a young
businessman, bent on success, who
loses everything, and discovers a faith
and a family he never knew he had.
Jake Zaker (Jarret Lemaster, Bounty)
is a rising business prodigy working
under the guidance of his corrupt boss,
Russell OMalley (Michael Madsen,
Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill). Life is
sweet, until a government investiga-
tion of his firm targets Jake.
Overnight, he loses it all: his career,
his downtown penthouse, and his at-
tractive high-class fianc. Left without
options, Jake escapes from Los Ange-
les to his childhood home in rural
Texas where he is forced to deal with
the consequences of his broken rela-
tionships with his father, Leo Zaker
(Mark Withers, True Blood, The Ul-
timate Life) and the girl he left be-
hind, Jessica Henry (Jen Lilley, The
Artist, Days of Our Lives). While
struggling to reclaim his life in Los
Angeles, amidst the scheming of his
former boss, Jake learns a family se-
cret that shakes his faith and forces
him to make the biggest decision of
his life.
Several major film distributors have
made offers to take Turnaround
Jake nationwide. Check it out begin-
ing Friday, June 20 at Claremont
Laemmle 5, located at 450 W. Second
St., Claremont.

k. Description of Request: We consider the appli-
cations filed on January 15, 2014, as consisting of
three requests: an application for amendment of li-
cense under P-2426 and two applications for conduit
exemptions under P-14579 and P-14580. The ap-
plicant is not proposing any changes to the project
operations or facilities, and no ground disturbing ac-
tivity will occur.
i. Amendment of License: The appli-
cant proposes to amend the South SWPHydropower
Project license to remove the Alamo Powerplant and
Mojave Siphon Powerplant from the project. Con-
current with the amendment, the licensee proposes
to convert the two powerplants to conduit exemp-
tions as described below. This would result in a de-
crease of 49,400 kilowatts in the installed capacity
from 1,679,100 kilowatts to 1,629,700 kilowatts, and
a decrease of approximately 270 acres in the acreage
encompassed by the project boundary.
ii. Conduit Exemptions: The Alamo
Powerplant Project would consist of: (1) the existing
Alamo Powerplant containing one existing generat-
ing unit with an installed capacity of 17,000 kilo-
watts; and (2) appurtenant facilities. The applicant
estimates the project would have an average annual
generation of 83.751 gigawatt-hours. The Mojave
Siphon Powerplant Project would consist of: (1) the
existing Mojave Siphon Powerplant containing three
generating units with an installed capacity of 10,800
kilowatts each, for a total installed capacity of 32,400
kilowatts; and (2) appurtenant facilities. The appli-
cant estimates the project would have an average an-
nual generation of 65.678 gigawatt-hours.

ect number of the application to which the filing

phone number of the person protesting or inter-
vening; and (4) otherwise comply with the
requirements of 18 CFR 385.2001 through

protests must set forth their evidentiary basis and
otherwise comply with the requirements of 18 CFR
4.34(b). All comments, motions to intervene, or
protests should relate to project works which are
the subject of the license amendment. Agencies
may obtain copies of the application directly from
the applicant. Acopy of any protest or motion to
intervene must be served upon each representative
of the applicant specified in the particular applica-
tion. If an intervener files comments or documents
with the Commission relating to the merits of an
issue that may affect the responsibilities of a par-
ticular resource agency, they must also serve a
copy of the document on that resource agency. A
copy of all other filings in reference to this appli-
cation must be accompanied by proof of service on

ORDINANCE NO. 2014-03
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF CLAREMONT, AMEND-
ING SUBSECTION C OF SECTION 9.82.010
AND SECTION 9.82.020 OF CHAPTER 9.82
OF TITLE 9 OF THE CLAREMONT MU-
NICIPAL CODE AND REPEALING SUB-
SECTIONS D, E, F, AND G OF SECTION
9.82.060 OF CHAPTER 9.82 OF TITLE 9 OF
THE CLAREMONT MUNICIPAL CODE
REGARDING UNLAWFULLOITERING BY
REGISTERED SEX OFFENDERS.
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of
Claremont (City Council) has adopted Ordi-
nance 10-01 adding Chapter 9.82 to the City of
Claremont Municipal Code pertaining to sex of-
fender residency restrictions within the City of
Claremont (City); and
WHEREAS, Section 9.82.020 of the Claremont
Municipal Code prohibits a registered sex of-
fender from loitering in a child safety zone, which
is defined by Section 9.82.010(C) as any area
located within three hundred (300) feet from the
nearest property line of a child care center, pub-
lic or private school (grades K through 12), park,
public library, location that holds classes or group
activities for children, and/or any school bus
stop; and
WHEREAS, this January, a California Court of
Appeal held that the California Legislature had
established a comprehensive scheme for regulat-
ing the daily lives of sex offenders thereby pro-
hibiting local legislation on the subject unless it is
expressly permitted by a statute. The decision,
People v. Nguyen, undermines the ability of mu-
nicipalities to restrict where a sex offender may
go and what a sex offender may do; and
WHEREAS, this April, the California Supreme
Court declined to review the ruling in Nguyen,
leaving the decision intact; and
WHEREAS, as a result of the Nguyen decision,
provisions of the Citys Municipal Code purport-
ing to regulate where a registered sex offender
may go are in violation of current law; and
WHEREAS, the remaining provisions of the
Citys Municipal Code relating to the residency
restrictions on registered sex offenders remain
unaffected by the Nguyen decision; and
WHEREAS, in order to bring the Citys Munic-
ipal Code into conformity with current law and
to reduce the risk of civil suit, the City now
wishes to repeal portions of Chapter 9.82.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF CLAREMONT DOES
ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Subsection C of Section 9.82.010 of
Chapter 9.82 of Title 9 of the Claremont Munic-
ipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows:
9.82.010 Definitions.

Section 2. Section 9.82.020 of Chapter 9.82 of
Title 9 of the Claremont Municipal Code is
hereby amended to read as follows:

Section 3. Subsections D, E, F, and G of Sec-
tion 9.82.060 of Chapter 9.82 of Title 9 of the
Claremont Municipal Code are hereby repealed
in their entirety.
Section 4. The Mayor shall sign this Ordinance
and the City Clerk shall attest and certify to the
passage and adoption of it, and within fifteen (15)
days, publish a summary of the Ordinance in the
Claremont Courier, a semi-weekly newspaper of
general circulation, printed, published, and circu-
lated in the City of Claremont and thirty (30) days
thereafter it shall take effect and be in force.

copy to the personal representative appointed
by the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of letters

or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or per-
sonal delivery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal author-
ity may affect your rights as a creditor. You
may want to consult with an attorney knowl-
edgeable in California law.

the estate, you may file with the court a Request
for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing

ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 16,
TITLE 17 AND TITLE 18 OF THE CLARE-
MONT MUNICIPALCODE
SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE NO. 2014-04
INTRODUCED AT THE REGULAR CITY
COUNCILMEETING OF MAY 27, 2014
AND ADOPTED AT REGULAR CITY
COUNCILMEETING OF JUNE 10, 2014
(Full text of this ordinance is on file in the of-
fice of the City Clerk)
SUMMARY OF THE ORDINANCE OF THE
CITY COUNCILOF THE CITY OF CLARE-
MONT AMENDING TITLE 16 (ZONING
ORDINANCE), TITLE 17(SUBDIVISION
ORDINANCE), AND TITLE 18 OF THE
CLAREMONT MUNICIPALCODE, REVIS-
ING AND UPDATING VARIOUS CHAP-
TERS AND SECTIONS
THE FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF
THE ABOVE TITLED ORDINANCE:
The ordinance makes amendments to several
changes and sections of Title 16 (Zoning), Title 17
(Subdivision Ordinance), and Title 18 (Signs).
The amendments to Title 16 (Zoning) are as
follows:
1. Acode chapter pertaining to Residential Unit De-
velopments is deleted from the Citys code, as Res-
idential Use Developments are no longer used for
projects that vary from typical development stan-
dards. Specific Plans have now become the pre-
ferred planning tool, replacing Residential Unit
Developments for these types of projects.
2. Because the state dissolved all Redevelopment
Agencies, all references to the Redevelopment
Agency are removed from Title 16.
3. Some minor changes are made to the permitted
uses in Commercial and Industrial Districts (Table
16.051.A):
a. Some uses which currently re-
quire a Conditional Use Permit, are to be per-
mitted with a Special Use and Development
Permit, and as such, will be reviewed by staff
rather than the Planning Commission simplify-
ing the process for business applicants. These
uses include non-controversial uses such as
dance studios, tutoring classes, etc., which typ-
ically have little impact to surrounding devel-
opment and require minimal review.
b. Some non-sales tax producing uses,
such as insurance and administrative offices, which
are currently permitted with a Conditional Use Per-
mit in the Commercial Freeway District, will no
longer be permitted in the Commercial Freeway
District as these uses are not consistent with the
stated intent of the Commercial Freeway. The in-
tent of the Freeway Commercial District is for uses
oriented toward the regional market and benefiting
from high visibility, including automobile sales, su-
permarkets, hotels, large retailers, and restaurants.
c. Afew changes are made to the uses
permitted in the Business/Industrial Park District
based on the consistency of the uses with intent of
the district and the compatibility of uses with the
other permitted uses in the district. Banks are added
as a permitted use, as the nature of banks has
changed dramatically over the past several years
and are no incompatible with the other types of uses
in the Business/Industrial Park District.
d. For uses such as Educational/In-
struction/Day Care, Electronic Cigarettes, Hookah
Lounge/Smoking Rooms, Fortune Telling, Cash for
Gold and Diamond, and Photocopying and Photo
Developing, requirements are clarified and permit-
ted locations revised, based on the nature and com-
patibility of the uses with other permitted uses.
e. To comply with State law, massage
uses will be permitted in all districts where general
office and personal service uses are permitted.
4. For Master Plans, the code is revised to reflect
the Citys current policy of referring applications to
the Architectural Commission prior to Planning
Commission review, rather that when the applica-
tions are deemed complete, in order to allow staff
time to adequately prepare for the Architectural
Commissions review.
5. The Citys regulations for antennas and wireless
telecommunication facilities are updated to keep
the regulations in compliance with State and fed-
eral law, and to provide greater flexibility for the
City in enforcing the regulations.
6. Changes are made to the requirements for flags
in order to correct inconsistencies in the code
identified by the City Attorney, and to simplify re-
quirements.
7. Related to the requirements for new develop-
ments, a provision is added to clarify that bus stop
facilities (bus turnouts, benches, shelters, etc.) are
off-site improvements that the City may require
of development projects that are adjacent to exist-
ing transit routes, in order to encourage alterna-
tive forms of transportation and reduce the
dependency on private automobiles.
8. For architectural review of projects, the review
criteria is revised to make the criteria more easily
understood by the both the commission and appli-
cants.
9. Needed revisions, as identified by the City At-
torney, are made to terms in the Glossary of Title
16. Terms not used elsewhere in Title 16 are
deleted, terms that require clarification to be con-
sistent with State law are revised, and new terms
that are included elsewhere in the proposed changes
are added to the Glossary (e.g. Antenna Array, Sup-
port Structure.) Adefinition for Director of Com-
munity Development is added at the direction of
the Planning Commission to clarify who is author-
ized to perform the duties of the Director.
The amendments to Title 17 (Subdivision Ordi-
nance) are as follows:
1. Bus stop facilities are added to the list of off-site
improvements that the City may require of new de-
velopment.
2. Requirements for the voluntary merger of con-
tiguous parcels are revised to simplify and make the
process more efficient.
The amendments to Title 18 (Signs) are as follows:
1. Clarifications are made regarding the time limit
for reviewing sign applications, the authority of
staff and the Architectural Commission to approve
signs; and the substitution of non-commercial mes-
sages for permitted signs in compliance with First
Amendment case law.
2. Acorrection is made to the definition of aban-
doned signs and the language for periodic invento-
ries and abatement of such signs is updated.
3. The language for non-commercial flags is revised
to provide necessary flexibility for permitting flag-
poles in setbacks.
4. References to commercial freeway-oriented
signs are simplified.
5. Authorization is given to the Director of Com-
munity Development to approve non-substantial
changes to approved sign programs.

NOTICE OF SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, pursuant to the Municipal Code of the City of
Claremont, that the Human Services Department of the City of Claremont has
petitioned for the approval of the annual 4th of July events (File #14-SEP03)
to be held on Friday, July 4, 2014. The details are as follows:
4th of July Parade: The parade will start at 4:00 p.m. and end at 5:30 p.m. The
proposed route is generally described as starting at Memorial Park, moving
south along Indian Hill Boulevard to Harrison Avenue and then proceeding
west to conclude at Larkin Park. The route is indicated on the associated map.
1K/5K Run: The 1K run will be held between 7:30 a.m. and 8:00 a.m., and
the 5K run will be held between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. Both runs will begin
and end at Memorial Park. The route is indicated on the associated map.
The entire public right-of-way along the routes will be temporarily closed to
accommodate the events. In addition, the annual fireworks will take place at
the Pomona College Campus (Strehle Track), in which portions of First Street,
Sixth Street, and Mills Avenue around the site will also be temporarily closed.
The Director of Community Development has determined that this proposal is
exempt subject to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section
15061(b)(3) and through Chapter 3 of the City of Claremonts Local Guide-
lines for Implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (2012), be-
cause it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Annual
4th of July Celebration could have a significant effect on the environment.
Therefore, no further environmental review is necessary.
The public review period will commence on June 13, 2014, and will run
through June 23, 2014. Any interested person is directed to contact Associ-
ate Planner Joanne Hwang at the Community Development Department,
Planning Division, 207 Harvard Avenue, P. O. Box 880, Claremont, CA 91711,
or by calling (909) 399-5353, for further information.

Claremont Real Estate Market Snapshot
May was another fast paced month for Claremont home sales. Home inventory is slowly starting to pick up,
and there were a very large number of homes sold this month compared to 2013. Current home inventory
is at 84, which is up 30 homes from the beginning of the year. The summer season is usually busier and car-
ries around 100 homes on any given month. While the snapshot numbers for May makes it appear home
prices are down, they are in fact considerably higher. The large number of high dollar sales last year skewed
the data to appear as if prices were higher this time last year. The statistic most noticeable for last month
was the average list price versus average sold price, since there was a less than one percent differential.
