one hundred and ninth year, number 07

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of reli-gion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the free-dom of speech or of the press, or the right of the people peace-ably to assemble and to petition the government fora redress of grievances.

Our founding fathers never envisioned aperson like President Trump running thecountry, but were clearly forward-looking

in protecting our individual rights as citizens. Thatincludes the press. Or as we now call them, “newsmedia.”

But let’s be honest, this president needs to be fact-checkedbig-time. According to several websites that track accuracy ofpresidential statements, three-quarters of Trump’s statementshave factual errors. That’s compared to one-quarter for Obama.

Based on what we have seen so far, the White House has astraightforward plan on how to deal with the press: Discredit themainstream, fact-based press in an effort to drive people to theadministration’s public relations machine Breitbart News. Thisphilosophy is taken right out of the dictator handbook in order tocontrol information to the public. This is exactly what VladimirPutin successfully accomplished his first year in office.

This president is not the first to battle the press. Richard Nixonwas a notorious media hater, and with good reason, because ofthis little ongoing issue called Watergate. But words do matter,and President Trump’s tirade calling the press the “the enemy ofthe American people” puts his accusations at a new level. Andpeople did react to it.

“If you want to preserve democracy as we know it, you haveto have a free—and many times adversarial—press. And with-out it, I am afraid that we would lose so much of our individualliberties over time—that’s how dictators get started. I’m just say-ing we have to learn lessons from history.” Sound like a quotefrom a history professor, or editor of a student newspaper? No,this was Republican Senator John McCain reacting to the pres-ident’s attacks on the press.

The president’s news conference last week was downrightscary. He seemed unhinged, waiting to pounce on anyone asking

a question he perceived as negative. I felt sorry for Jake Turx, anew White House correspondent for the Orthodox Jewish pub-lication Ami Magazine. He started by giving the president a com-pliment that even got him a “thank you” from the chief. Butbefore he could even finish his question about how the govern-ment will handle the uptick in anti-Semitism around the country,the president interrupted saying “not a fair question. Sit down.”

By this time, all Mr. Turx could do was shake his head. Thebully had spoken. What’s ironic is this week President Trumpmade a statement denouncing anti-Semitic violence, finally an-swering Mr. Turx’s original question.

Let’s look at the organizations the president is accusing: Na-tional Enquirer? Nope. US or People Magazine? Nope. Someof the hundreds of Trump-hating blogs or Twitter posts? Okay,he does respond to some tweets. Breitbart News where an editorjust resigned over his pedophilia comments? Not a word. No,President Trump went after the news organizations with the bestrecord for accuracy. They include ABC, NBC, CBS, New YorkTimes and, of course, CNN.

So why are these organizations on the president’s radar? Be-cause he cannot stop them from accurately reporting news abouthis administration. The louder he yells, the closer to home a storyhits.

I am the first to admit managing the press is harder than ever.Because “social media” is now lumped in with “news media,”there are many who attempt to report news that simply don’thave the same accuracy standards as the pre-1999 press. Or re-porting and opinion simply are mixed together. These are the or-ganizations that deserve the wrath of Trump. Unfortunately, he’spart of the problem with his constant, mean-spirited, throw agrenade on the issue tweets.

The candidates forClaremont City Coun-cil continue to make

their case to the people as theMarch 7 election draws closer.

Seven of the eight declared candi-dates were on hand at the AlexanderHughes Center lastweek for the Thurs-day, February 16Active Claremontcandidates’ forum. The standing-room-only crowd in the Padua Room heardthe candidates’ positions on topics rang-ing from public safety to the water trialto the relationship between the city andthe Colleges.

The Claremont COURIER newspa-per endorses Zachary Courser for theTuesday, March 7 election.

It was easy for the COURIER staff toreach consensus on endorsing Mr.Courser. He is consci-entious, decisive and,if elected, will un-doubtedly bring newlife to the city council. With cancelledelections and a string of unqualifiedcandidates in recent years, Mr. Courserarrived at the perfect time.

Mr. Courser, 40, is a governmentprofessor and research director of theDreier Roundtable at ClaremontMcKenna College. He came to Clare-mont from Washington State in 1995 toattend CMC and returned to teach from2006 to 2008. After earning his PhD ingovernment from the University of Vir-ginia, Mr. Courser came back to Clare-mont in 2014 after accepting his currentteaching position with CMC.

We’ve spent quite a bit of time get-ting to know Mr. Courser and believehis passion for public policy coupledwith his connection to Claremont andthe Colleges will greatly benefit thecity. His grasp of the Constitution, bothin theory and practice, is impressive.This, alongside his steadfast support ofhuman rights, should appeal to all resi-dents regardless of party.

Mr. Courser doesn’t mince words. Hehas shared his frustration over the cur-rent council’s predisposition to continuebusiness as usual. We agree. At a recentforum, Mr. Courser offered a fiery re-buke of the handling of the eminent do-main water trial. He admonished the

city for its unwillingness to consider po-tential errors made by its attorneys, andadvocated the need to look at every pos-sible reason for the loss.

Mr. Courser is correct when he sayswe can’t simply blame the loss on “get-ting a bad judge.” But whether his as-sessment is right or wrong, it’simportant that the city consider all pos-sibilities. We need city leaders who willaddress these complex issues head-on.

Some tough decisions have beenmade by the council and we’re gener-ally happy with the path the city is on,but we believe it’s time for new ideasand fresh oversight.

While he appreciates all of the bene-fits offered in our city, Mr. Courserdoesn’t pretend that Claremont life isperfect and instead promises to take amore practical approach to city gover-nance. His more objective view will bean asset and will only boost the abun-dant list of services and programs of-fered in Claremont.

We need Mr. Courser’s fortitude aswe move forward with the water appeal

and grapple with other challenges fac-ing the city. We urge Claremont votersto elect Zachary Courser to the citycouncil on March 7.

*****This brings us to our second endorse-

ment, one the COURIER had to grap-ple with a bit longer. We looked closelyat the remaining candidates, consider-ing experience, intellect, temperamentand political acumen. Each time, wecame back to deciding between the twoincumbents, who each bring differentstrengths to the council.

Corey Calaycay cares deeply aboutthe community and has worked hard tokeep the lines of communication openby allowing residents access to city hall.Larry Schroeder has been a thoughtfulcouncil member who has stepped up onsome key issues. Both have servedClaremont well and both previously re-ceived COURIER endorsements.

There are also some areas of concernwith both candidates, one of which isour impression that the incumbents arerunning for council in tandem. Their

kick-off parties were scheduled thesame day within a timeframe that al-lowed residents to get from one to theother without much crossover. Bothcandidates installed side-by-side cam-paign signs at Mr. Calaycay’s home,adding to our worry that the currentcouncil has simply gotten too cozy be-cause of their years together at the dais.

In the end, our choice comes down toa matter of philosophy.

Taking into account changing popu-lations as a result of aging, relocationand a fluctuating economy, serving on acouncil for 12 or 16 years is simply toolong. There should be a natural progres-sion in the makeup of any city councilto adapt to its evolving community.

When you have been in a positionfor more than a decade, it’s easy to losesight of your role. That may be a factorin Mr. Calaycay’s recent decision to ab-stain from voting on a controversialmatter on the grounds that he didn’twant to speak for all Claremont resi-dents. As we know, however, while po-litical decisions rarely please everyone,election to council is a mandate to rep-resent your community.

We’re forced to make a tough deci-sion. Mr. Calaycay is undoubtedly en-thusiastic and competent but becausehe has already served three terms in of-fice, our second endorsement goes toMr. Schroeder.

Should he win, we hope Mr.Schroeder will take a busy contest, andquite likely a close race, as a cue to ap-proach his role with the energy and ob-jectivity of a newcomer.

Vote for Zachary Courser and LarrySchroeder in the Tuesday, March 7election.

COUNCILELECTION

conflict of interest related to their job?Abraham Prattella, a real estate developer and part-time

pastor, noted that his experience in real estate would ac-tually “enhance my decision-making here in Claremont”and would not present a conflict of interest.

Zach Courser, a government professor at ClaremontMcKenna College, told the audience that he sees his jobas “rather valuable” in developing a stronger relationshipbetween the city and the colleges.

“Put yourself in my shoes—would you run to put yourboss on the city council?” Mr. Courser said. “That’s cer-tainly not my intention. My intention comes from a deeplove and understanding of this community.”

The city’s quest to take over the water system once againwas a topic, as Ms. McHenry combined three questionsregarding the water trial for the candidates.

Councilmembers Larry Schroeder and Corey Calay-cay—who are running for their third and fourth terms oncouncil, respectively—defended the city’s pursuit of thesystem, which experienced a setback when a judge dis-missed the city’s case in December following a 21-daybench trial.

“I’m still of the opinion that the judge held us to a muchhigher standard than the law required for acquiring the sys-tem,” Mr. Schroeder said.

Mr. Calaycay relayed his change of heart over the ac-quisition, noting he was against the takeover when he wasfirst elected to council but reversed his position during the2008 financial crisis, when Golden State Water Compa-ny (GSW) began issuing surcharges such as the WRAM(Water Revenue Adjustment Mechanism) to residents.

“It became clear they were using the water adjustmentmechanism not only to make themselves whole and as-sure their guaranteed rate of return for people using lesswater,” he said. “They were also using it to basically re-imburse themselves for natural losses in the downturn ofthe economy.”

Mr. Courser, who has been critical of the city’s approachto the trial, noted that Claremont is “obliged” to move for-

ward with an appeal due to the costs incurred. But he tookthe incumbents to task over solely blaming the judge forthe decision and refusing to look inward.

“I find it unpersuasive that the only person in this processwho seemed to fail was the judge,” he said. “I think wekind of whistled past this, we expected it to be a slam-dunk.And to tell you the truth, when I voted for Measure W my-self, I paused for a second and thought, are we up to this?Because this is a huge undertaking.”

Anthony Grynchal, a local realtor working under thetrademarked moniker “Mr. Claremont,” once againbrought up his “special water district,” a plan that he claimswould “give us a shot at lowering the water bill.”

Michael Keenan noted that he has “been relentless” aboutthe city’s efforts to acquire the water system, and calledon the city to move even further and claim eminent do-main over the electrical grid.

Another controversial topic was broached during the fo-rum—the city’s recent resolution affirming its commitmentto diversity and civil rights, a largely symbolic declara-tion many have incorrectly called a sanctuary city ordi-nance.

Mr. Calaycay was once again given the opportunity todefend his abstention on the resolution, noting his ap-prehension on placing his vote—and thereby the votes ofall Claremont citizens—on a divisive agenda item.

“In this town, when we’ve got other issues like the wa-ter that we have to take on that can be controversial,” hesaid. “I don’t favor dividing our residents on other issueswhen I don’t have to, and when I don’t feel it’s appropriateto do so.”

Murray Monroe used his time to reaffirm his commit-ment to Claremont going all the way to become a sanc-tuary city.

“It’s real simple,” he said. “You don’t want anyone tofeel alienated or targeted.”

Mr. Courser noted the city “fell short of the mark” in

drafting a resolution that only reaffirmed the city’s exist-ing practices, and said he would have voted for it if he wereon the council. As to declaring Claremont a “sanctuary city,”he noted that a better way to serve undocumented Clare-monters would be to inform them of their rights and leadthem to legal services.

Mr. Prattella claimed to be the only candidate who op-poses Claremont becoming a sanctuary city, due in partto the possibility of the city losing nearly $500,000 in fed-eral funding for schools and public safety.

“If we’re so willing to give that up, why not help thosehomeless veterans who fought for our country,” he said,pledging to create a committee that would help undocu-mented Claremonters find a “true direction to citizenship.”

The upcoming Gold Line was also a topic that was hot-ly debated between Mr. Courser and the two incumbentcandidates.

Mr. Schroeder called the bridge the city passed on inJuly 2016 “a Berlin Wall” between north and south Clare-mont, and Mr. Calaycay noted that an extra bond meas-ure would have to be floated to fulfill the community’s ex-pectations.

Mr. Courser countered that the city rushed in their de-cision and lamented the commissions’ lack of input in thedecision-making process.

“They were asked in June to make a decision that need-ed to be made by February,” he said. “We [the Traffic andTransportation Commission] were not consulted.”

Public safety was another concern, with one questionfrom the audience asking the candidates how much of apriority it was as property crimes continue to rise.

Mr. Prattella took a more personal approach to his an-swer; he relayed the crowd that his family’s cars have beenbroken into twice in the past three years. He called for alarger and more robust police force and commended theemerging efforts of the city’s “see something, say some-thing” program.

Mr. Schroeder and Mr. Calaycay cautioned the crowdto look at crime statistics from a different perspective, not-ing the FBI has warned against using uniform crime re-porting to compare cities.

“Some would like you to think crime is out of controlin Claremont because the number of crimes reported ismore than the crimes in La Verne, according to 2015 sta-tistics,” Mr. Schroeder said. “When you index the num-ber of crimes reported to the population, Claremont’s crimerate is lower than La Verne’s.”

Mr. Courser responded to the incumbents’ claims. “Listening to the incumbents, particularly on the

question of crime statistics—okay, maybe it’s not a per-fect comparison—but crime has gone up in Claremontby almost 20 percent in a year,” he said. “I don’t findthat acceptable and I wouldn’t make excuses for it.”

The election will take place on March 7.—Matthew Bramlett

Ruling holds city responsible for water trial legal feesThe city of Claremont has to pony

up nearly all of Golden State WaterCompany’s legal fees, totaling $7.4

million, the judge ruled.Judge Richard Fruin of the Los Angeles Superior

Court ruled on February 15 that Claremont is on thehook for over nearly all that GoldenState Water Company (GSW) hasbilled them following Claremont’s lossin the eminent domain trail in December. GSW’s initialfees totaled around $7.69 million.

The 12-page ruling adds to the city’s $6.1 million inexisting legal fees to Best, Best & Krieger, for a grandtotal of around $13.5 million. The city filed an initialmotion on January 26 for a 50 percent reduction inGSW’s legal fees.

Notably, the city attempted to minimize attorney’shourly rates, which made up the bulk of total litigationcosts to the tune of over $5.7 million. The city tried toreduce those fees by over $1.4 million.

The court ruled against the city, noting that their legalfee consultant, Brand Cooper, did not “persuade thecourt that he is sufficiently familiar with the complex-ity of this litigation and thus is aware of the knowledgeand skills required of the trial attorneys,” according tothe ruling.

The court claimed Mr. Cooper seemed unaware thatthis trial was the first of its kind in the state, and there-fore the attorneys had to become acutely aware of notonly Claremont’s water system and history, but also the

history of La Verne’s water system, the Public UtilitiesCommission’s (PUC) regulations of Claremont’s rates,the feasibility of Claremont issuing bonds to pay for thewater system and more.

For this reason, the court ruled, GSW’s attorneys de-served the full amount.

In particular, Mr. Cooper tried to reduce Manatt,Phelps and Phillips partner Dinesh Badkar’s compen-sation to an associate’s rate of $350 per hour because helargely worked behind the scenes. The court disagreed,noting that invoices involved in the case asserted Mr.Badkar was involved in “all aspects of litigation” andwas an invaluable member of GSW’s legal team.

The court also ruled against the city’s attempt to fur-ther reduce attorney’s fees by more than $1.1 milliondue to what Mr. Cooper asserted was redacted invoicesand time entries. Mr. Cooper contended that he was un-able to determine if those fees were for the trial or fromrelated lawsuits involving Measure W in 2014 that werewaived by GSW.

The court also rejected Claremont’s request to reducefees by $139,652 due to “clerical tasks,” noting that theattorneys had to create databases and file-sharing web-sites to manage and search documents involving thecase. A possible reduction of $344,125 for “blockbilling,” meaning one bill for multiple tasks, was alsorejected.

The city also lost its attempt to block payment to ex-perts who ended up not testifying during the trial. Thecourt noted that, “Golden State’s decision to not callthese witnesses was based on defense counsel’s deci-

sion made in the flow of the trial that their testimonywas not needed,” and therefore still billable under law.

The court also rejected the city’s claims that fees fortwo witnesses who did testify at trial, Michael Hane-mann and Stephen Peters, should be reduced becausetheir information was largely obtained from othersources. The court noted, however, that the testimony ofMr. Hanemann in particular—whose hourly billing rateis $700—was pivotal to GSW’s victory due to his re-buttal of the city’s claims of costs needed to operate thewater system.

The city saw a reduction of 25 percent of tax costsGSW paid to Executive Presentations, a courtroomgraphic company, which amounts to $30,220. JudgeFruin also dismissed $189,300 in legal fees due to Pub-lic Records Act (PRA) and the California Environ-mental Quality Act (CEQA) lawsuits involvingMeasure W that GSW admits were waived, the rulingstated.

In a statement posted on the city’s website, City Man-ager Tony Ramos noted that Claremont, “anticipatesfiling a Notice of Appeal on the award of litigation ex-penses.”

Claremont has also vowed to appeal the judge’s rul-ing on the bench trial altogether, passing a resolution toappeal the decision during a special city council meet-ing on January 31.

Mr. Ramos said at that meeting that all legal feeswould be stayed as the appeal continues.

The previous Monday, the district in-formed Oakmont Principal Jenny Adams andher staff that the tree had to go. The news wasnot unexpected as the tree, which was about50 years old, had been doing poorly. Still, itcame as a blow.

“I’ve got some news about our oak tree.Our tree has been sick for several years. It’svery old. The last time the tree doctor cameout, he said it’s just not strong enough to keepstanding. It’s sad but it’s just like everythingelse—it’s the circle of life,” Ms. Adams toldthe assembled students and staff. District lu-minaries Superintendent Jim Elsasser and As-sistant Superintendent of Human ServicesKevin Ward were also on hand for the late-morning farewell ceremony.

Max Taylor, 8, was up next, reading ahaiku he had written. “A tree is very great.The breeze says, ‘I love you so.’ You are thebest thing.”

With the sprinkling continuing, studentspulled up their hoods and a few staff mem-bers opened umbrellas as Ms. Adams tooksome time to read the classic children’s bookThe Giving Tree.

Published in 1964 and written and illus-trated by Shel Silverstein, The Giving Treetells the story of a tree that’s loved by a littleboy.

The tree had not been doing well, partly because of thedrought, and it was determined that it must be removed.

Alight rain fell February 3 as members of the Oakmont Outdoor School community gathered for a touching memorialservice. It was not a student or staff member being mourned but instead a towering oak tree that had served as centerpieceof the campus for decades.

After a recent tense city hall stand-off, it appears that Pomona Col-lege will at last be permitted to

move forward with its controversial newart museum. As a lifelong resident ofClaremont and an employee of the Col-leges, I find myself in the position of hav-ing friends on both sides of the debate.

Although it may be a long time before either sidecan see eye to eye, perhaps an idiomatic view of thegoings-on can provide a unique perspective.

The disagreement between townspeople and thecollege came as a surprise to many. Most reports statethat residents aren’t opposed to the idea of the newmuseum, but they are quite dissatisfied with the pro-posed location; some locals fear the college’s moveacross to the west side of College Avenue will eventu-ally extend too far into the Village, which has led tothe common use of the expression ‘college creep.’

The verb ‘to creep’ comes from the Proto Indo-Eu-ropean root meaning ‘crooked.’ Synonyms include‘slither,’ ‘slink’ and ‘writhe.’ The verb led to the noun,meaning ‘despicable person,’ ‘thief’ and even ‘lice,’while the adjective ‘creepy’ describes scary feelingsor unease. More recently, the Urban Dictionary de-fines a ‘creeper’ as someone who does weird things—like stare at you while you sleep.

To its credit, Pomona College has taken residents’concerns seriously and continued to jump throughhoops to get the museum approved. They agreed tothe initial provisions set forth by the council’s plan-ning commission and have won the subsequent law-suit aimed at stopping their creep across CollegeAvenue.

The expression “jump through hoops” comes from

the circus. It refers to the circular ring covered withthin paper, through which acrobats or trained animalswould leap. In 1917, several decades after many hadviewed successful (and probably non-successful) cir-cus leaps, the expression made its way into English asa metaphor for performing a grueling series of tests atsomeone else’s request.

Ironically (for this piece), circuses and collegesplayed a role in the creation of the word ‘townie.’Short for ‘townsman,’ ‘townie’ became a commonterm used in the 1820s and beyond to differentiate uni-versity students and circus workers who were justpassing through from those who actually lived in thetown.

Residents who oppose the museum point out thatstudents will come and go but they—the townies—will be the ones to live with the parking restrictionsand environmental impacts of the new structure. Theypassionately reject the displacement of historically-significant structures, the removal of venerable treesand what they see as inflexibility on the part ofPomona. In defending their position, they certainlygave it the old college try!

The expression “to give it the old college try” does-n’t come from colleges or circuses (or towns for thatmatter), it comes from baseball. As the story goes, ayoung man, probably Frankie Frisch, left college inthe early 1900s to pursue major league success. In his

first major game, the rookie made a valiant attempt togo after a ball that was out of his reach (stories of hisheroic effort vary). A reporter seized on the opportu-nity to praise the former college kid’s effort by writ-ing, “That’s the eye, young fellow. The old collegetry.”

As an unabashed Claremont townie, I have beenopposed to city proposals in the past, namely a 7-Eleven on a corner near my house. There were resi-dents who disagreed with me (many who didn’t livenearby) and I am thankful that they didn’t win thatbattle. Despite hurt feelings and bruised egos, we allmoved on and friendships endured. Certainly there isno comparison between a 7-Eleven and a museum ofart, but no matter how strong the sentiment, I am notan advocate of burning bridges.

‘To burn one’s bridges,’ or destroy any chance ofreturning to the status quo, is a version of ‘to burnone’s boats (behind oneself).’ The boat idiom still ex-ists in British English, Spanish, French and even Chi-nese, while American English and German speakersprefer the bridge variant. Most likely, the origin lies inlegendary boat-burning acts of military heroes. Onearticle also notes that in antiquity, military bridgeswere actually made of boats. The point was to cutoneself off from all means of turning back.

Is it possible that the longstanding amicable rela-tionship between the town and gown has been com-promised? Not likely. As I see it, there are manyresidents that found themselves somewhere in themiddle or even in support of Pomona’s plans. Now,the logical way forward is through reconciliation.There are many idioms to choose from—opponentscould mend fences, bury the hatchet, patch things upor make amends.

From my perspective, what really matters is thateveryone continues to live in harmony—the trees, thePhDs…and the townies.

The ‘in’ crowdDear Editor:

The “If You See Something Say Some-thing” signs that have appeared all overtown seem wildly out of place. At a timewhen the Claremont City Council hasvoted to reconstitute the Human RelationsCommittee, when the local Islamic Cen-ter has received hate mail and otherthreats, and a relatively mild statement oninclusivity and diversity spurs hours ofpublic comment at a city council meeting,we need to think about how we can in-clude and welcome those in our midst.

Encouraging neighbors to turn inneighbors and citizens to be suspicious ofthose they think “don’t belong,” for what-ever reason, seems more an artifact of theold East Germany than leafy, civil Clare-mont. These signs should be taken down.

Bookmark Dear Editor:

Where has the Bookmark columngone? It is fascinating to know what peo-ple are reading, and their personal readinghabits. It’s also a good way to find outabout new books.

You can learn a lot about a person bywhat they read. Or, as in the case of thepresident, if they don't read at all. To havea US president proclaim unapologeticallythat he does not read is a disgrace. Toquote the poet Rigoberto González, “Aperson can keep their mind shut as easilyas they leave a book closed.”

Books nurture curiosity, provide accessto knowledge, encourage reflection andcritical thinking. Not to mention provid-ing humor and succor in dark, uncertaintimes. Please bring back the Bookmarkcolumn. Gina Ortiz

Million dollar housesDear Editor:

In response to Chino resident KathlynParker, as quoted by columnist John Pix-ley in the COURIER edition of Friday,

February 17: Ms. Parker stereotyped Claremonters

quite inaccurately, when she alleged that“You sit up there in your million dollarhomes…at the expense of the under-served and underrepresented communi-ties like Pomona,” which she also therebystereotyped, and where she also does notlive.

Though I do not live in Pomona, I haveworked there in years past, and am also aregular and particularly thorough readernot only of the Claremont COURIER, butalso of the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, aswell as the Los Angeles Times, none ofwhich have given me cause to believe thepeople of Pomona are underserved or un-derrepresented.

Additionally, of all the many fine peo-ple I have met during my 41 years livingin Claremont, I do not believe any of themlive in million dollar homes. My ownhome is assessed considerably less thanthat, as would be true of virtually everyhome in my entire neighborhood or anyof those nearby. The same would be trueof my various friends who live in themore northern parts of Claremont, wherehomes are being sold for considerably lessthan a million dollars.

I suggest that Ms. Parker not utter suchblatant accusations about our fine city ofClaremont without more research.

If she is indeed concerned about thewelfare of the residents of Pomona, shemight also attend their city council meet-ings. Better yet, she might reserve heropinions and accusations for her ownChino community. Don Fisher

Rate of returnDear Editor:

Marilee Scaff, although well-inten-tioned, is not the water expert many be-lieve her to be. Publicly availableinformation contradicts claims and“facts” in her recently published letter.

She states that if we give up now, wewill have to pay Golden State’s litigationcosts (approximately $7 million), but ifwe appeal and win, we will be off thehook. What she fails to acknowledge is

that if we appeal and lose (the muchmore likely scenario), we will havewasted millions more dollars.

Unless there is a reasonable expecta-tion of a very low purchase price for thewater system, an appeal is a lose/loseproposition for us—only the lawyersstand to benefit regardless of what is ul-timately decided on the appeal.

Last year, Missoula, Montana won theright in court to take over the water sys-tem (owned by a private water companyin the Los Angeles area), but the city hadto abandon its plans, despite having in-curred extensive litigation costs, becausethe purchase price was just too steep (i.e.,they won, but still lost).

Ms. Scaff states that Claremont cus-tomers pay more than $9 million eachyear to fund dividends. Golden State re-ported a $34.5 million (book value) in-vestment in 2015 (2016 data will not bereleased until the end of March), whichyields only $2.9 million of net earningsat its authorized 8.34 percent rate of re-turn. However, one-third of that repre-sents interest on debt, leaving less than$2 million (not $9 million) to fund divi-dends. Nonetheless, the “greed” issue ismerely a “red herring.”

Assuming that Claremont can cut fi-nancing costs by more than half (say 4percent instead of 8.34 percent), thewater system would have to be pur-chased for no more than $73 million(market value), just to break even. Thatis, before you consider the 10 percent“profit” on operating expenses that wehave promised to pay the city of LaVerne. Golden State does not earn anyprofit on operating expenses.

Our groundwater comes from an “ad-judicated” basin, meaning the courtshave predetermined the maximumamount of water each pumper may with-draw. Golden State has no incentive touse imported water instead of local

groundwater, as asserted by Ms. Scaff. IfGolden State does not minimize its watercosts, its shareholders (not customers)pay the excess cost.

Our water bills appear high becausewe use a lot of water. In 2015, our aver-age residential usage was 24 units permonth. Other customers in Region 3 usemuch less: San Dimas (20), Barstow(18), Calipatria (18), Orange County(17), San Gabriel Valley (16), Desert(10) and Wrightwood (5). A monthly re-duction of only 4 units will save morethan $200 each year.

Let’s face reality and redirect ourspending to where we, not the lawyers,will reap the benefits.

Claremont COURIER/Friday, February 24, 2017 8Conflicts of interestDear Editor:

Alert! Alert! Alert! Before casting yourvote for city council, please ask yourself thefollowing question: How effective can a citycouncil member be if they have potentialconflicts of interest?

We know, of course, that individuals withconflicts of interest, as identified by the FairPolitical Practices Commission, are re-quired to disqualify themselves from par-ticipating (both in the discussion and vot-ing) in making a governmental decision.Having just one city council member dis-qualified may end up in having a decisionresult in a two-to-two tie vote, which is in-terpreted as a “no” vote for the city coun-cil. This, of course, results in the city’s in-ability to get anything done!

An example of this is the recent appealof the architectural commission’s deci-sion on Pomona College’s art museum. Theoutcome of the recent decision might havebeen very different if one of the city coun-cil members would have had to recuse him-self.

Although there are at least three of the cur-rent city council candidates who have a po-tential of a conflict of interest due to theirbusiness interests and/or employment, myconcern is with only one.

Because of the COURIER’s recent en-dorsement of Zachary Courser (who is em-ployed at one of the Claremont Colleges),this potential conflict of interest problemarises. So to avoid this “no” vote situation,I would carefully consider choosing whichother candidates might get your vote.

Personally, I feel Larry Schroeder hasdemonstrated fair, reasonable and smart de-cision-making capabilities as a member ofour city council. And, if there are those whowant change for change’s sake and “newblood” on the council, I highly recommendcasting your other vote for Murray Monroe.

Mr. Monroe, who only has Claremont’sinterests at heart and is a lifelong resident,can promise to provide the responsible lead-ership Claremont residents deserve.

Reserve judgmentDear Editor:

Erich Steinman, Marcella Zita and BenBenjamin wrote similar letters published inthe February 17 COURIER that kind of riledme up a bit, and I feel I should comment.

I, too, attended the forum, which focusedon sustainability, and knew nothing of thecandidates before that evening other than thefact that two were running for re-election.

I agree with some of the concerns noted

by Steinman, Zita and Benjamin in their let-ters based on the answers to some questionsthat night, but I feel strongly that these pub-lic comments serve only to demonstrate thebias of each author and attempt to prejudicevoters in our community.

Each of us has a responsibility as par-ticipants in the democratic process—aprocess, I should add, that is currently un-der daily attack by our new leader—to doour own research by attending local forumsand hearing first-hand responses to questionsin order to make up our own minds aboutwho we will support.

The points mentioned by Steinman, Zitaand Benjamin regarding conflicts of inter-est, inexperience and motivation are legit-imate, but we should not assume that thosepoints are relevant here just because of a can-didate’s profession or his or her age.

Men and women who run for public of-fice, whether at a local, state or national lev-el, in order to be involved in our governingprocess are responsible for being honest withus about their motives and about the poli-cies they support. In return they deserve ourrespect for having the courage to offer them-selves up for criticism and scrutiny.

National politics are so toxic right nowthat I want to see an election at home thatcan be addressed with courtesy and respect.Let us please not muddy up the nest withnegative insinuations and cruel accusations.There is enough of that on the evening news.

Pamela HawkesClaremont

Grynchal for councilDear Editor:

What makes this city council race so in-teresting? There are a number of candidatesrunning. And, while the majority of the can-didates are very similar, there is one thatstands out: Anthony Grynchal.

Mr. Grynchal would serve Claremontwell. Let us look at what this young man hasdone in his 26 years.

1) He worked and paid his way throughCal Poly Pomona, graduating with a bach-elors’ degree.

2) He bought his first home at 21, gaveit to his sister and then purchased anotherhome, sold that home and, finally, purchaseda home in Claremont, fulfilling his dreamof living in Claremont and in the future rais-ing a family in Claremont.

3) He has a heart for the underprivilegedand for those who hunger. While in college,at the request of Capt. Singh, he went to Pun-jab, India to help mass produce a tree called

Moringa Oleifera, which is a super food andconsidered the number one source of com-bating malnutrition worldwide and reduc-ing carbon.

4) He supports CHAP, the ClaremontHomeless Advocacy Program.

5) He has developed a successful careerthrough innovation, transparency and in-tegrity.

6) His career has demanded he is currenton many laws relative to real estate, dis-crimination, financing, etc.

So why does all of this add up to beingan asset on the council? Because Mr.Grynchal’s skills are well-rounded, and hisinsatiable quest to look at all sides of a com-plex problem leads to finding the best, notjust the easiest, solution.

There has not been a council yet that hasnot made errors in judgment. Some havebeen small errors, others have been morecostly and poorly analyzed.

Three that come to mind are the down-town trolley and the roundabout. Also, thecouncil approved a ballot measure of an ex-travagant $50 million police station. Thankgoodness the people of Claremont voted itdown and demanded a more reasonablecost, which is to point out that even “sea-soned, professional” council members arenot immune to error in judgment or appli-cation.

It is time Claremont has a more diversi-fied council made up of a range of ages. In-novation and fresh eyes and approaches willmake the city council one that is no longerparadigm driven.

Please join Wole Soyinka, emeritus pro-fessor and 1986 Nobel Prize for Literaturerecipient, and myself in our support of An-thony Grynchal for city council.

Norman ComiaClaremont

A youth to watchDear Editor:

Anthony Grynchal is, summatively, oneof the most dynamic young men of his gen-eration I have encountered in the pastdecade. It has been quite uplifting to watchhim develop through childhood into earlymaturity with the comportment of a self-re-liant, enterprising young man.

Mr. Grynchal is full of abundant energy,always brimful of ideas, which he translatesinto action in a determined, single-mindedeffort. I have watched him among hispeers, listened to their discussion and beenastonished by his comparative range of hisknowledge of events and his concern

about, and attached to, the environment inwhich he lives.

Mr. Grynchal asks questions, and intel-ligently checks the answer. Even as ayoung school pupil, his interests ranged out-side the confines of the school curriculum.His sense of a need for social involvementbegan to define his personality quite early,and I am in no way surprised that he is nowstrongly tending toward activities that en-large his scope beyond mere employmentsatisfaction or entrepreneurship into socialcommitments and organizational skills.

I shall look forward with great interest towhere his expanding horizons propel him.Without a doubt, Mr. Grynchal fits into thatcategory that is captured by that optimisticphrase “A Youth to Watch.”

Wole SoyinkaUpland

Yes on Measure HDear Editor:

The number of homeless citizens inLos Angeles County has grown to 254,000at some point in the year, which means thaton any given night, 82,000 people are de-fined as homeless.

Measure H aims to fund mental health,substance abuse treatment, health care,education, job training, rental subsidies,emergency and affordable housing, trans-portation, outreach, prevention and sup-portive services for the homeless with in-dependent annual audits and citizens’ over-sight.

Homelessness is a major problem todayin LA County. The League of Women Vot-ers looked to its adopted positions that in-clude support for meeting “basic needs forfood, shelter and access to health care” aswell as the need to provide “affordable hous-ing for all Californians.” The aims of Meas-ure H are consistent with these concerns.

Although Measure H uses a sales tax toaddress the problem of homelessness andthe League prefers “an equitable tax systemthat is progressive overall,” we also believethat government revenues must be sufficientto meet the needs for services. The quarter-cent sales tax (e.g., one cent on a $4 purchaseor $1 on a $400 purchase) for 10 years willalso include annual independent auditsand citizen oversight.

The LWV stresses supporting MeasureH on the March ballot after considering thesize of the tax and recognizing that ad-dressing homelessness is an urgent and pres-ent responsibility. We urge all LA Countyvoters to join us in supporting the county’sefforts to reduce homelessness.

READERS’ COMMENTS

Iam writing this letter to ask that you usethe ballot box to help address a most se-rious moral, social and economic bur-

den that has compromised our humanity, de-humanized our most vulnerable and signif-icantly disrupted our sense of community.

For those who have opened their sample ballots and arepreparing to decide among the candidates to serve on ourcity council, you already know that there is a second de-cision you are being asked to make, a decision to lessenand eliminate the moral, social and economic burden ofhomelessness in Los Angeles County by voting yes onMeasure H.

Being one of the 88 cities that comprise Los AngelesCounty, we share in being the temporary or permanenthome for some of the 45,000-plus children, women andmen who are without shelter on a regular or recurring ba-sis, and the 30,000-plus who are at risk of becoming home-less because of their tenuous life circumstances.

I, like many of you, am among the fortunate who hasnever experienced either homelessness or the fear of be-coming homeless. Every human need, and many wants,have been my good fortune to receive through circum-stances of birth and life I simply needed to awaken to andaccept.

Such cannot be said for an ever-increasing number ofour neighbors who live in unacceptable conditions, andawaken each day either on the streets, in a car or camper,in a temporary homeless shelter or on a couch or floor pro-vided by a friend or loved one.

Some of these are among those we pass each day walk-

ing the streets of Claremont, who with each unwanted en-counter draw us into the uncomfortable ambivalence cre-ated by feelings of pity and disdain, compassion andloathing.

Despite many years of working to end both the risk ofhomelessness faced by people in recovery programs formental illness and addiction and the actual homelessnessthat is a symptom of these conditions, I still experiencethese contradictory feelings that prevent my humanity frompenetrating and seeing the humanity of a chronically home-less human being

However, those we cannot avoid encountering are butthe few among the many who are homeless. These menand women shamelessly remind us of the almost half-cen-tury of neglect of those who live their lives in communi-ty with others who share the demographically “accepted”category of homeless.

The far greater number of homeless persons, from self-emancipated children and youth to adults and families, liveout of sight, in attempts to maintain some sense of dig-nity and connection with the larger community in whichthey reside. They become known through their sometimesdesperate need for food, clothing and temporary emergencyshelter provided by community-based organizations likeHope Partners and the Claremont Homeless Advocacy Pro-gram (CHAP).

Beginning in the 1970s with the well-intentioned butill-fated closure of mental institutions, and compoundedby the hardships exacted on the integrity of families and

communities by the volatile economic cycles of the 1980sand 90 and the Great Recession of 2008, it is an indisputablefact that the number of homeless, seen and unseen, has in-creased well past being described as a problem. Rather isit is rightly being described by federal, state and countyofficials as an emergency, and for the first time being ad-dressed as such in public statements, policies and proposedprograms that seek to prevent and end homelessnessthrough local and regional efforts.

However, the cost associated with this effort is con-siderable, as with most problems turned emergency. In LosAngeles County, the amount has been set at around $400million per year for 10 years. Although sizable, this amountcan be raised through a quarter-cent increase in our coun-tywide sales tax rate.

These funds will be used to create sustainable servic-es and housing opportunities aimed at countering the im-pacts of life circumstances that put individuals and fam-ilies at risk of homelessness, while offering rehabilitationand recovery services and stable permanent housing tothose who are currently considered chronically homeless.

Through my personal efforts to help the homeless in ourcommunity, I have become acutely aware of how goodpeople have become overwhelmed by the magnitude ofthe emergency, and morally compromised by a problemnot of their making and seemingly not within their pow-er to solve. However, the emergency that homelessnesshas become can no longer be considered either over-whelming or beyond our power to solve.

With Measure H we have the opportunity to lessen andeliminate the moral, social and economic burden of home-lessness, and with it to restore the integrity of our com-munity. Please become part of the solution by voting yeson Measure H.

Anne M. Worley, a longtime Clare-mont resident, died peacefully theevening of February 13, 2017. She was73.

She was born on May 1, 1943 inOslo, Norway to Sigurd and ReidunRimdal. Her family moved to the Min-neapolis area when she was 11, settlingin Hopkins, Minnesota. Though shespoke no English upon arrival, she soonassimilated, picking up the languagequickly. She retained a love of Norwe-gian culture, however, including a pen-chant for smoked salmon and pickledherring.

When she was in seventh grade Anneattended a symphony performance and,moved to tears by a dramatic passage inthe music, turned to see a girl just herage sitting next to her, also crying. Sheand her fellow music aficionado,Martha Andresen-Wilder, became last-ing friends. Through completely differ-ent circumstances, both womeneventually ended up living in Clare-mont, a real treat for the lifelong pals.

She graduated from Hopkins HighSchool, and then attended the Univer-

sity of Minnesota. After earning a de-gree in studio arts and a minor in arthistory, she turned to education as a ca-reer. She first taught art in underprivi-leged city schools in Minneapolis andlater, when she moved to California,

taught kindergarten and first grade insouth Los Angeles and at Madison Ele-mentary in Pomona.

First, though, marriage took Anne towestern Colorado where she welcomeda daughter, Rana, and a son, Joshua.When that union ended she met thelove of her life, Tim Worley, and in No-vember of 1987 he became her husbandas well as loving stepfather to the chil-dren. In 1988, the Worleys moved toClaremont so Tim could attend Clare-mont Graduate University. After heearned his master’s degree and doctor-ate, the couple stayed on.

Joshua died in a solo car accident onShinn Road in 2009. The loss was veryhard on Anne and her family. Still, afterher 2010 retirement she continued toenjoy getaways with her husband attheir Palm Springs condo. “She keptmoving further to warmer climates,”Mr. Worley said of his wife’s geo-graphic trajectory. “She loved thedesert.” They also had the opportunityto visit Norway twice, stopping in Ice-land on one of the trips.

Mrs. Worley was an accomplished

artist who was skilled in printmaking aswell as oil and watercolor painting. Shewas also an artist in the kitchen. Shedidn’t eat out very often because sheknew a restaurant could rarely top herdelicious and nutritious home-cookedmeals. She was a longtime member ofLACMA and adored the Getty Mu-seum. She was also a nature lover, serv-ing in recent years on the board of theClaremont Wildlands Conservancy.

Anne was a passionate advocate forsocial justice, public education, envi-ronmental protection and art, and is de-scribed by friends and family as anextraordinary teacher, artist, wife andmother.

She is survived by a sister, GretaKennedy, her husband Tim Worley anddaughter and son-in-law Rana and SidCho.

Services will be held at 10 a.m. onSaturday, March 11 at Todd MemorialChapel, located at 325 N. Indian HillBlvd. in Claremont. Memorial dona-tions in lieu of flowers may be made toPopulation Connection or the OceanConservancy.

Claremont COURIER/Friday, February 24, 2017 11OBITUARIES

Thomas “Tom” Harold Liles died onFebruary 11, 2017 at his home in Clare-mont. He was 54.

He was born June 22, 1962 at PomonaValley Hospital to Robert and Annette Lilesand lived within a few miles of his child-hood home throughout his adult life. He isthe son of the late Robert and Annette Liles.

Tom was born with a developmental dis-ability and cerebral palsy. He attended ElCamino School for special education inPomona, graduating in 1984.

For the first time in 33 years, Clare-mont High School Theater DirectorKrista Elhai has had to cancel a

performance. People who purchased tickets to see Xanadu this Sat-

urday were informed Wednesday the night’s productionwas a no-go because of a major logistical problem. Aspart of the high school’s solar installation project, theelectricity will be turned off Saturday morning andthere’s no guarantee the power will be back on in time forthe 7:30 p.m. curtain time.

As they say in the theater world, the show must go on.Ms. Elhai and her talented crew of students and profes-sionals have acted quickly to add another performance tothe musical’s run. After the 7:30 p.m. show wraps on Fri-day, March 3, the kids will pull up their legwarmers foran additional 10 p.m. performance. The extra gig willkeep the theater department from disappointing folkswho bought tickets for the cancelled show and avoid adevastating loss of proceeds.

Doubling up on the dance-heavy show will take a can-do attitude on the part of the students. Luckily, theteenage thespians have the kind of energy needed toevoke the neon-bright ‘80s twice in one night.

For those unfamiliar with the Broadway musicalXanadu, we need to address the elephant in the room.The original film was a box-office flop and is widelyconsidered one of the worst movies ever made. Aboutthe only thing inspired by the story of a muse who acci-dentally falls in love with a mortal was the creation ofthe Golden Raspberry Awards.

And yet, Xanadu refused to go away. The soundtrack

is the result of some powerhouse talent, featuring hits byELO, The Tubes and Olivia-Newton John, among others.Many who saw the film as children were entranced bythe movie and for many latecomers, the paper-thin scriptcarries its own watching-a-trainwreck magnetism. Thefilm has gradually acquired cult status.

Douglas Carter then did such a good job beefing upthe plot and injecting much-needed humor that his stageadaptation of Xanadu won an Outer Critics CircleAward for Best Musical and a Drama Desk Award forBest Book and was nominated for two Tony Awards.Theatregoers were won too; after its 2007 Broadwaydebut, the show ran for more than 500 performances.

Xanadu comes to ClaremontWhen Ms. Elhai decided to add Xanadu to the the-

ater department’s 2016-2017 season, one questionloomed large. How do you get a bunch of teenagers,raised on mp3s instead of vinyl and cell phones insteadof payphones, to embody the 1980s? When it comes toXanadu, it starts with roller skates.

Almost from the moment CHS senior Carly Sandenwas cast in the roll of the muse Kira, the youngest ofZeus’ nine daughters, she was handed a pair of roller-skates—and we’re not talking rollerblades but old-schoolquads.

Junior Riley Polanski who plays Sonny, a disillusionedpainter Kira seeks to inspire, also takes to wheels duringa few key moments. Adding to the ambience is a crayon-bright wardrobe that is 50 percent disco, 50 percent NewWave and 100 percent fun.

The pair portrayed a couple before, Emily and Georgein the classic drama Our Town. “They play really welloff each other,” Ms. Elhai said. Xanadu has the advan-tage of offering the duo an opportunity to show off theirsignificant singing chops.

Carly Sanden, whose red hair is covered with a blondewig for the show, is a talented vocalist who fronts thelocal rock band Event Horizon. Last year, she was rankedamong the top one percent of solo vocalists at the Cali-fornia State Thespian Festival. She recently was acceptedinto NYU’s competitive musical theater program.

Riley’s octave-straddling tenor serves him well whenhe undertakes tunes like the love song “Suddenly,” orig-inally tackled by platinum-selling singer Cliff Richard.

Another student performer who can belt it out is SarahHamid as the muse Melpomene, who uses the ELO song“Evil Woman” to describe her villainy. She and ReelEltahir (“Calliope”) play Zeus’ two oldest daughters,who plot to make Kira fall in love with her earthly pro-tégée, a misstep that carries a death sentence in the realmof the gods. The girls are a fine comic duo as they deliversome of the show’s funniest quips.

The Basics


Istand in the Indian train station, alonefor a moment while being jostled bythe crowds of people all intent on

being somewhere else at that very samemoment. Now I am surrounded by bagsand cases. It is my job to gather and guardthem while Frances’s job is to buy thetickets and gather information.

Frances lives in England while I live in California.We met many years ago at a self development centeron a peaceful Greek Island, where we discovered thatwe had the same wanderlustful traveling passions.Now we comfortably slip into our roles, I am the suit-case caretaker while she buys the tickets.

She operates better in situations of confrontation.She is more assured than I am. I stand content to watchand dream as the people stream by doing what they al-ways do. Then I spin stories about their lives to myself.Sometimes I tell Frances these stories as I invent themand she laughs while we enjoy my imagination.

Today we are in Kurseong, a small town part wayup the Eastern Himalayas where the tiny toy trainhuffs and puffs as it winds its way up to Darjeeling,the Queen of the British Raj. Tea plantations paintedin rich greens cover the hills. This is a society that nolonger exists—a life that was supported by servantsand the Victorian need to escape from the heat. I willbreathe in the remains, digging through the past as thearchaeologist does to feed my imagination.

As I look up, I notice a small boy standing near bywatching me. He is neatly dressed in grey trousersand a well-pressed shirt. His black hair is slick withcomb marks against his nutty brown skin. As hewatches me intently I think that maybe he wants totalk. I smile and say, “Hello.” He smiles and “hellos”me in return.

We begin a small conversation. I ask him if hespeaks English, which he does quite well. He explains

that he has learned English in school, which has nowfinished for the day. He is 11 and quite happy to waitand talk.

The train is late in arriving from the New Jaipalguristation so the boy just stands and asks me questions.Frances returns with our tickets and assumes her roleas tour leader while I enjoy falling under her spell oftravel knowledge. I tell her about our new friend andshe returns his questions with answers and then morequestions of her own.

I find that the Indians we meet are so open andfriendly. They often approach us to practice their Eng-lish as well as to learn about what is outside of theirown world. Our young friend asks for nothing. Heseems content just to be here with us. We dig throughour purses to find coins from our home countries. Ifind a quarter and a dime and Frances digs out a 20pence piece and two English pennies.We hand themto him explaining what they are, and his eyes glow ashe keeps looking at them, asking over and over whatthey are until he has committed it to memory. I likehis solidness. He is a gentle by, shy yet eager to be inour company—two older foreign ladies on the plat-form of the toy train to Darjeeling.

Frances goes to buy our snacks. We always havesnacks on a train trip no matter how short the jauntwill be. It is part of the fun of train travel. Frances fol-lows the boy to a vendor and treats him to a bag ofcrispy chips and an orange drink. He smiles as he hasnow assumed the role of guide.

We walk up the platform, our snacks in our back-packs while he clutches his in his hands. We notice a

door that says, “Darjeeling Himalayan Railway,Kurseong Museum.” It is closed. Frances goes to theticket office and asks if we can visit the museum. Aman in an official hat carrying a large ring of keys fol-lows her back to the museum to open the door. Hecalls over a woman in an official brown uniform towait as we walk around the room, looking at all theartifacts: old clocks, pottery, silverware, parts of en-gines and curled brown-edged photographs of the Rajwhen the train carried the English families up fromthe hot plains to this cooler mountain retreat. It iswhat we have come to discover and we devour thephotos. Our young friend looks carefully at every-thing. This is his history.

We wander outside and stand together. The boyquietly tells us about how he likes to spend time at thetrain station and dream about seeing the world. Hisfamily are Christians and attend the church near by.He describes his large family of three brothers and ayounger sister. The train station is more peaceful thanbeing at home. Then we hear the train whistle and afew minutes later the train arrives.

We watch as one engine pulls the carriages in andanother engine attaches itself to the back end to pullthe train out. We climb into the small, dusty carriageof this toy-sized train with open windows. The boyhelps us with the bags as the whistle blows. We waveand watch him as he is slowly reduced to a dot on thereceding platform. Frances tells me that he said wewere the nicest people he had ever met.

I make up stories about him and his life in the sameway that I knit hats, twisting the yarns to make pat-terns of my own choosing. I like these encounters.Meeting him has anchored me to where I am for ashort while and reminds me of the reason I travel.

We move along a railway so narrow that as we passthrough villages we can literally reach out and touchthe buildings along the track. I am happy to see therich green land so full of orchids and other brightflowers before us as we travel up the mountainthrough the vast green tea plantations.

A moment in timeby Jan Wheatcroft

Among the professionals working on the showare Daniel Smith, working as director, and chore-ographer Paige Melvin. Ms. Elhai’s grown daugh-ter Dylan Elhai is serving as lighting designer.

Ms. Melvin said she’s had a blast working onXanadu. “It’s the time period. I’ve never choreo-graphed in the ‘80s style,” she said.

She’s also never choreographed movement anddance for roller skates and, in fact, was a roller skat-ing novice before the show. Now, she’s addicted towheeling around. “I’m probably going to ask Kristaif I can buy them from her,” she said of her practicequads.

Ms. Melvin marvels at the kids’ adaptability,whether perfecting the art of roller skating or chan-neling an era long gone and, some would say, bestforgotten.

“I tell them to do anything and they really be-lieve,” she said, an attitude perfect for a musicalwhose central song enjoins listeners to “believe weare magic.” Xanadu will be performed at 7:30 p.m. on Fri-

day, February 24, Thursday, March 2, Friday,March 3 and Saturday, March 4 as well as at 10 p.m.on Friday, March 3 in the Don F. Fruechte Theatreat Claremont High School. Tickets are available on-line at the CHS ASB webstore for $10. Tickets willalso be sold at the door for $12 if available. Presaleis strongly recommended.

her branches and eat her apples. The tree, however, re-mains a steadfast friend, offering first her apples, thenher branches and finally her trunk so the now grownupboy can do grownup things like selling fruit, building a

house and crafting a boat. Each time she serves the nowgrownup boy, we’re told, “And the tree was happy.”

When the boy, now an old man, eventually returnsto the tree, she tells him she has nothing left to give asall that remains of her past grandeur is a stump. That’snot a problem, he tells her, as he’s now to old to climbher trunk, swing in her branches or crunch into herapples. He’s tired and needs only a place to rest.When he takes a seat on the stump, the tree is happyonce more.

“As we honor the tree, I encourage you to be think-ing about the Giving Tree. What can you give tomake the world better?” Ms. Adams posed.

The bittersweet tale is deep stuff for readers of anyage, but so is losing an old friend.

“It makes me want to cry because nature is part ofyou. Nature is great,” 10-year-old Mia Aldape said.

Oakmont’s lofty oak has, indeed, been a goodfriend to everyone on campus. It has beautified thesite and provided shade to generations of students.

At the height of the drought, a retaining wall madeof stones circling the tree was built. It was a favoritespot for students to sit, below a canopy of branchesand leaves, and eat their lunches. The circle is nowempty, with the oak having been removed the Satur-day after the memorial service.

“I didn’t realize how enormous that tree was. Thespace now where the circular wall was around, thatseems huge. I’m so used to the big canopy of the treeand now it seems so bright in my office,” Oakmontoffice manager Rosie Bister said.

“Working with the district, it really has been a griefprocess,” she continued. “When you watched kids sitout there, something about them just all being to-gether under that tree, eating lunch and makingfriends, it just felt like an umbrella over the studentsthat brought them all together.”

It all comes back to the circle of life. The tree has since been converted to mulch and the

district is planning to replace the oak with anothertree. They just have to find the right spot for a saplingto thrive. As for the lost shade, it will be replaced with

a canopy. A proposal for the structure has alreadybeen submitted to the state, according to Service Cen-ter Director Rick Cota.

In addition, the oak tree will be immortalized in amural to be designed by Oakmont parent CristinaMarroquin. While they will miss the centerpiece ofOakmont’s leaf-scape, students said they were glad tohave a chance to give the tree a proper send-off.

“It was emotional. It was happy and sad, and it wasa good way to say goodbye,” 9-year-old IsabellaStoner-Villegas added.

“It was a great tree ceremony. It was a great way tocelebrate our tree that’s been here for over 50 years,”9-year-old Alexandra Aceytuno added.

Fourth and fifth grade teacher Imetra Joiner hasn’tbeen around that long but she has taught at the schoolfor 29 years. It’s long enough that she has formedfond and lasting memories of the fallen oak.

“You get used to the shape of the tree. The squirrelswould climb the tree and acorns would fall from thetree—there would be a regular percussion,” she said.“That’s just like Claremont, to honor a tree.”

Claremont High Schoolboys soccer faced twoadversaries Friday

night: Thousand Oaks HighSchool and the weather. Therain at times was so heavy thatit obscured the field, and thewind made shots go far off oftheir mark. In the end the Packdid prevail, 2-0, advancing tothe second round of the CIFtournament.

To say that conditions were awfulwould do a great disservice to how in-credibly hard it rained. The only refugefor the players and coaches was a hand-ful of pop-up tents that were in constantthreat of collapse due to the water pool-ing on the canvas. The school’s trainertook it upon herself to periodically pokeat the canvas with an umbrella resultingin a cascade that soaked anyone withinfive or six feet.

The scheduled start was delayed byfifteen minutes due in part to the refereerequesting more sand bags to keep thegoal from blowing over.

And then it was time to play soccer.From the moment the game started it

was abundantly clear that the teamplaying against the wind was at a hugedisadvantage, and for the first half thatwas Claremont. Goal kicks wentstraight up or veered out of bounds andon more than one occasion throw inswent right back out.

For the first half the two teamssloshed around, missed a couple ofchances to score, but nothing too note-worthy as the score ended 0-0 at half-time.

As the second half got under wayand the Pack had the wind at theirbacks, the tempo of the game shifted.

After only a minute the Lancers’ goalkick caught a particularly strong gustlanding 20 yards in front of the net, andClaremont went on the attack. Thou-sand Oaks defenders deflected severalattempts, but senior striker OsvaldoLopez got a clean shot off which sailedpast the keeper into the corner of thenet.

The Pack did it again a couple min-utes later when Tyler Raby got a nicepass in front of the net but was calledoffside. Thousand Oaks was not goingquietly into the night and had a coupleof very nice chances but junior goal-keeper Rylan Opatkiewicz was therewith great saves.

Rain storm provides surprises in CHS soccer victory

The wind and rain got the better ofthe Lancers when junior Eric Davis’Hail Mary from midfield bouncedover the keeper’s head. But as hechased it down, the ball took an oddbounce, and even though he caught theball, he fell back into the net for aCHS goal. Did the keeper slip or didhe just loose his balance? Maybe thisone becomes a storm stat.

On Wednesday the weather wasmuch better, but the outcome was a

tough loss to Saddleback High Schoolin Santa Ana. After getting two goalsin the first half, the Roadrunners satback and defended their lead through-out the second half, delivering 2-0 de-feat to the Pack. Still it was a verygood year, as the boys say adios to theseason with a 14-8-3 record, 7-3 inleague, with the knowledge theyplayed through the strongest winterstorm in years.

Girls water polo impresses at CIF Against all odds the, Claremont High

School girls water polo team is on a roll, win-ning their first two games in the CIF South-ern Section tournament.

After finishing league play in secondplace with a 5-3 record, the Pack won twovery competitive games, each decided by asingle goal.

Last Wednesday the girls defeated West-lake, 10-9, in the first round playoff at Dia-mond Bar. Officially it was a home game, butthe CHS pool is still closed so the game wasmoved. Juniors Makenna Moore and LaurenHoyle both scored three goals, followed byfreshman Maddie Waasdorp and senior Al-ijah Dudart both with two goals.

On Saturday they won the second roundgame against Yucaipa, 11-10, in overtime.Amber Cui and Waasdorp each scored threegoals, followed by Hoyle with two. Goal-keeper Charlotte Cheng had eight saves.

“It’s the team that could. No pool, no prob-

lem,” said parent and booster vice presidentKelly Sandhagen.

On Wednesday “the team that could” fi-nally met its match as the Pack lost toCanyon High School, 10-6, in the semifinalmatch at Anaheim.

The girls have much to be proud of, mak-ing it to the third round in CIF with a 22-9record and will most certainly have a greatseason next year.

Girls soccer to third round in CIFGirls soccer is the last winter sports team

left in the CIF playoffs with their 2-0 victo-ry over Roosevelt on Tuesday in Eastvale.Juniors Kyra Tisopulos and Elisabeth Chuaeach scored one goal with assists from sen-ior Mylinda Gomez and sophomore JanelleGutierrez.

The Pack moves on to the third round witha home game against Royal on Friday at 5p.m.

The rain was so heavy that at times it was impossible to see the other side ofthe field and the wind forced the referee to delay the game so that sandbagscould be attached to the goals.
