City compensation surveys
Dear Editor:
Compensation surveys for job classifi-
cations have proven over the decades to
be the most proficient and reliable way to
determine the going, fair-market rate for
all workers. Private enterprise and gov-
ernment institutions alike have universally
adopted this recruitment method in order
to guarantee attracting the most qualified
personnel for existing positions.
Councilmember Opanyi Nasiali states
that he is in favor of Claremont city staff
being compensated well, however, he
does not support the concept of classifica-
tion surveys because it makes him feel
uncomfortable in that it reminds him of
the arms race.
We are tired of politicians using the ex-
cuse of their feelings of discomfort about
making critical decisions and, worse yet,
trotting out non-sequiturs as rationale to
support their views, especially when it
pertains to the livelihood of hard working
government employees.
Mr. Nasiali fails to live up to intelligent
political standards when he shrugs off his
duty to make informed decisions based
upon critical thinking and sound scientific
survey research methods. What would he
have human resources managers do to de-
termine fair compensation? Examine tea
leaves under the full moon in Johnsons
Pasture? How are rational decisions to be
made if not through the use of these tools
of logical inquiry?
The concern here extends beyond this
particular matter to all manner of govern-
ment decisions based upon survey re-
search evidence. If the gathering of
empirical data as the basis of decision
making is not adhered to, and is replaced
by anecdotal evidence and personal senti-
ment, where does rational inquiry end and
solipsism take over?

Restraint by police
Dear Editor:
It has taken 49 years of living in Clare-
mont, but at last I have received some-
thing that usually only politicians receive.
That is, a personal attack in the
COURIER. On Friday, May 30, Randy
Scott wrote that he doesnt appreciate my
insinuations.
In my letter published May 23, I cited
three instances of questionable shooting
by police officers, two of them in Clare-
mont. Mr. Scott mentions only the third
example, the recent police shooting of the
motorist who was backing up.
If I am going to state, or insinuate, any-
thing, it is that police in many departments
are too quick to shoot people. In case of
doubt, I refer the reader to my first exam-
ple, the case where two innocent, hard-
working women in a pickup truck were
fired upon by 80 shots in Los Angeles.
Miraculously, both survived the fusillade.
A reminder: Small minds focus on per-
sonalities; bigger minds focus on issues. I
welcome further discussion of the issue of
shootings of individuals by police officers.
I agree with Mr. Scott when he writes,
We should all be accountable for our ac-
tions. I would add that police, possessing
deadly force, bear a special and heavy
duty to use that force with care and re-
straint.

CITY NEWS
A
Claremont teacher, frustrated by
what he sees as persecution on the
part of the Claremont Unified
School District, now faces termination.
Over the past months, Claremont High School so-
cial studies teacher Dave Lukkarila has sent hundreds
of updates on his struggles with CUSD administra-
tors, teachers union representatives and school board
members to the personal email accounts of nearly 200
members of the district community.
In late March of 2012, Mr. Lukkarila was placed on
paid administrative leave, pending dismissal under
the Education Code. He was suspended on charges
stemming from complaints by CHS staffers that his
behavior made them feel unsafe, according to CUSD
Superintendent Jim Elsasser. Mr. Lukkarila is cur-
rently on unpaid suspended status.
Mr. Lukkarila has maintained from the start such
allegations are false and that he has not been given
the opportunity to defend himself. In April, he de-
manded an Office of Administration Hearing. In an
OAH, a panelwhich includes a representative cho-
sen by the district and another selected by the em-
ployee whose job is at stakemakes a binding
determination of whether the staffer should be termi-
nated or not. Unless either Mr. Lukkarila or CUSD re-
quests a continuance, that hearing is coming up in a
matter of weeks.
Mr. Lukkarilas emailsmore than 300 of which
have been sent to the COURIER since June 2012
have typically been met with little response. Thats
not the case, however, for a May 27 missive in which
he attacked school board member Sam Mowbray in
an expletive-filled tirade. Among other statements,
Mr. Lukkarila said he was looking forward to urinat-
ing and defecating on the board members grave, a
statement he later classified as no more than a color-
ful metaphor.
The language was such that CUSD Superintendent
Jim Elsasserwho described the email as laced with
crudeness, profanity and angry expressionsfelt
compelled to respond with a statement to the
COURIER.
The email was deemed to be threatening by Dr.
Mowbray and others, who reported such to the district
and the Claremont Police Department. Accordingly,
the district is investigating these recent concerns and
working closely with those affected, along with the
Claremont Police Department, Mr. Elsasser wrote.
The district cannot, at this time, comment further on
this ongoing personnel matter, other than to assure
staff and others in our community that the safety and
wellbeing of our students, staff, and school officials is
always our first priority. Mr. Elsassers full state-
ment can be seen in the online version of this story at
www.claremont-courier.com.
In an interview with the COURIER, Mr. Lukkarila
said he has no plans to harm anyone. He followed up
his electronic confrontation of Mr. Mowbray with an
email in which he apologized for his profanity, but
noted he would continue to hold Mr. Mowbray ac-
countable for his leadership responsibility.
The COURIER spoke to Police Chief Paul Cooper,
who said that while Mr. Lukkarila is clearly emo-
tionally distraught and frustrated with lengthy labor
issues he is having, the teachers language does not
fit the definition of a criminal threat and no formal
police report has been filed, according to Lieutenant
Mike Ciszek.
The guidelines are pretty specific, Chief Cooper
said. You have to threaten to commit a crime that
can result in bodily injury to you or others. It has to
be unequivocal, unconditional, immediate and spe-
cific.
Chief Cooper noted that Mr. Lukkarila said he also
feels threatened and has requested police presence at
various district meetings he plans to attend. A Clare-
mont police officer was stationed outside a recent
meeting of the teachers union at El Roble Intermedi-
ate School, but Mr. Lukkarila opted to not attend.
Mr. Lukkarila has written several mass emails since
his apology, airing grievances against a variety of
people and organizations. These include Claremont
Faculty Association president Dave Chamberlain,
whom he says has manufactured charges against him;
the COURIER, which he has accused of being unpro-
fessional and biased; school board member Hilary La-
Conte, whom he calls a New-Age fascist; and CFA
rep Kim Breen, who he has said should have hand-
cuffs on her wrists with an orange jumpsuit.
In a Tuesday email, he warned Mr. Elsasser that he
plans to defeat him legally before seeking punitive
damages. You can run back to Anaheim but even
then we will pursue youindividuallyfor every
dollar you nowunlawfullyseek to take from our
futures, Mr. Lukkarila wrote.
A longstanding conflict
Mr. Lukkarila has a lot on his plate.
On May 23, the results of the most recent CFA
election, in which Mr. Lukkarila ran for president,
were announced. He lost to incumbent Mr. Chamber-
lain, 237 to 1.
He is preparing for the impending employment
hearing, where he will be expected to make a case
against his potential firing. He says the charges
against him were based on an anonymous petition. In
the wake of the petition, Mr. Lukkarila said he was
scrutinized by an armed private investigator at the be-
hest of the districts law firm, Fagan, Friedman &
Fulfrost, whom he believes is systematically corrupt.
He also contends that while administrators worked to
fire him, his students were lured into interviews in
Teacher calls potential dismissal unwarranted, lashes out via email
The Claremont City Council held a special meeting
and workshop Monday, June 2 at the City Council
Chamber to discuss the proposed revisions to the citys
Tree Policies and Guidelines Manual. Much like the
previous workshops hosted by city staff, residents
voiced their concerns about several of the suggested
changes.
To the delight of Sustainable Claremonts Tree Ac-
tion Group (TAG), their voices are being heard.
Weve raised our questions and asked council to re-
examine the use of poisons and the pruning policy for
our citys urban landscape, says Mark von Wodtke
with TAG. The city council has heard us and agreed
its worth looking into. The proposed updated tree pol-
icy was sent back to city staff to further address these is-
sues.
As the COURIER reported last month, the city
adopted the Tree Policies and Guidelines Manual in
1997. The 81-page manual serves as a defining set of
rules for proper maintenance and enhancement of the
citys urban forest of more than 20,000 trees.
Although last revised in 2011, city staff recognized
the need to update the current manual and, in June 2013,
suggested soliciting public input in doing just that.
Claremonts Tree Committee as well as the Commu-
nity and Human Services Commission were in agree-
ment and so began the lengthy revision process.
Despite the councils decision to send the revisions
back to city staff, they did support and approve the al-
location of $12,500 to retain the Inland Urban Forest
Group to update and expand the Designated Street Tree
List recommended by city staff.
More drought-tolerant species are expected to be on
the list, an addition that should help with the ongoing
concern the drought is having on Claremonts leaf-
scape and the lack of supplementary watering methods.
Mayor Lyons is going to provide some leadership to
get the city trees some relief, but the problem is Clare-
mont is so complacent. Were really living on our lau-
rels and we need to recognize the urgency of this
matter, according to Mr. von Wodtke. We shouldnt
be behind the curve on this, we should be in front of it.
One innovative suggestion is the use of infrared im-
agery on the citys urban forest to determine which trees
are stressed. Unfortunately, Claremont doesnt have the
capability to implement this at the present but with a
title like City of Trees, perhaps its something to se-
riously take under consideration, according to Mr. von
Wodtke.
We need GIS software that handles that kind of im-
agery, he said. If the city had an Urban Forester in
house, it would be much more cost-effective than send-
ing it out to a contracted servicer.
The good news is the city council has made trees and
Claremonts urban forest a priority. The bad news is the
city is not replacing trees at the rate Claremont is losing
them and with little relief from the drought in sight, wa-
tering methods will continue to be an issue.
I hope they are going to set up some mobile water
capabilities to address it, says Mr. von Wodtke. The
city has all sorts of disaster preparedness, which is
great, but not for the disaster that is happening to our
trees right now.
The city council is scheduled to meet again on Tues-
day, June 10.

LABOR DISPUTE/
continues on the next page
which they were encouraged to share
damaging information about him.
The COURIER has submitted a pub-
lic records request for the private inves-
tigators report and the district has
replied that it will be provided by
Thursday, June 12.
Mr. Lukkarila must also prepare for a
September hearing with the Public Em-
ployee Relations Board (PERB) involv-
ing complaints that that the district is
not taking his grievances seriously and
that he is being forced out of his job via
unsubstantiated and insubstantial
charges. He has filed 11 complaints
with PERB against CUSD in the last
year and a half. Many of the charges
have been dismissed as containing in-
sufficient evidence to merit a hearing
and others have been withdrawn by Mr.
Lukkarila.
He was granted a PERB hearing in
May based on his charges that water in-
filtration was threatening the health of
CHS staff and students and that he was
being singled out for punishment as a
whistleblower. He failed to meet the
judges timeline with regards to docu-
ment submission, so the case was with-
drawn. Mr. Lukkarila can still re-file
those charges if he wishes, but will
have to start all over at the beginning of
the process.
Mr. Lukkarila filed seven other
PERB charges against the Claremont
Faculty Association, according to union
member and Sumner Elementary
teacher Joe Tonan. Mr. Lukkarila
claims the teachers union has not rep-
resented him fairly, while union reps
contend that they continue to offer
him all the support that is his due as a
CFA member, Mr. Tonan said. Most of
Mr. Lukkarilas PERB charges against
the faculty union have been denied and
he has withdrawn a few of them. One
PERB charge is still pending the
judges determination on whether it
merits a hearing.
CFA is confident that it will be re-
jected by the PERB board as every
other one was, Mr. Tonan said.
Mr. Lukkarila says he has little
choice but to fight against a biased dis-
trict in every legal way possible. He
says his troubles with the district began
after he filed a Williams Complaint
with the California Department of Edu-
cation (CDE) in February of 2012,
maintaining that leakage in the class-
rooms in the 700 quad of Claremont
High School was causing dangerous
mold to sprout. He was right.
The district responded to the com-
plaint by hiring a company specializing
in health and environmental risk assess-
ment, which detected four feet of black
mold growing in a classroom near to
the one in which Mr. Lukkarila taught.
Forty feet of mold was also found
growing outdoors in the area, on a ply-
wood ceiling of an overhang.
The district hired a company to clean
up the mold, reported to the state about
the measures they had taken, and the
CDE agreed that CUSD had fixed the
problem to the best of its ability.
Mr. Lukkarila appealed that decision
and then, before his appeal could be ad-
dressed, filed a second Williams Com-
plaint. In the second complaint, he
asserted that the measures the district
took to alleviate the mold were superfi-
cial and failed to address larger issues
of poorly-maintained facilities. He also
said that he was being harassed as a
whistleblower. Mr. Lukkarila maintains
that following the mold incident, CHS
Principal Brett OConnor made an un-
usual number of visits to his classroom
to scrutinize his teaching.
Mr. Lukkarila said he was subject to
observations over five consecutive
days, two of which yelded an unfavor-
able assessment, following his report-
ing of the mold. A summary report of
the observations was issued in mid-
February. Mr. Lukkarila disputed the
accuracy and conclusions of the report,
and requested that administrators de-
stroy them, along with all reports of
pop-in observations of his classroom.
In the following four-month period, Mr.
Lukkarila alleges that he was visited 12
times in the classroom for observation,
a figure that is in excess of what is per-
mitted by the Claremont teachers
union collective bargaining agreement.
Along with the Williams Complaints
and PERB charges, Mr. Lukkarila has
filed about 15 grievances with the
school district. When they were re-
jected, he appealed the districts deci-
sion to the teachers union. In each
case, the union has rejected his appeal,
accepting the determination of Mr. El-
sasser and other CUSD administrators.
In a recent email, Mr. Lukkarila, who
was described as a favorite among
students by a 2009 CHS graduate, said
he wont let his career and reputation
be destroyed without a fight.
I have done nothing wrong and will
defeat CUSD in a real PERB court-
room, if not others, he wrote. My
family has no other choice and I will
spend every business hour moment pur-
suing legal matters, because thats what
[my wife and I] did to earn our career,
started by substitute teaching on both of
our parts, followed by [a combined] 40
years of successful teachingtypi-
callyincluding summers.

A thief gave new meaning to the
phrase tailgating when he literally
stole the tailgate off the back of a truck
parked at the Claremont School of The-
ology. The unknown suspect removed
the back gate of a Dodge Ram between
8:40 a.m. and 2:20 p.m., while it was
parked on the east side of the parking
lot. Damages were estimated around
$1,000.

26 and May 28, a thief busted a hole in
a pedestrian garage door, attempting to
gain entry to a home located on the 700
block of Marlboro Court. When that
didnt work, the burglar broke a win-
dow in the rear of the house and ran-
sacked the homeowners bedroom,
taking purses, clothing and paperwork
valued at $1,050.

Trouble is brewing for three suspects
arrested at a local Starbucks after em-
ployees notified police of their attempt
to use stolen gift cards. Around 10 p.m.,
officers discovered two of the suspects
in the ladies room of the popular cof-
feehouse located on the 800 block of
South Indian Hill Boulevard. Their
problems went from tall to grande dur-
ing questioning when officers found
drugs, drug paraphernalia and stolen
gift cards on their persons. Police also
discovered that Claremont resident
Joanna Regan had two outstanding
warrants. The 24-year-old was arrested
and charged with three felonies in addi-
tion to delaying an officer and is being
held without bail. The second suspect,
27-year-old transient Jeffrey Wolford,
was arrested for possession of drugs
and paraphernalia and released on
$10,000 bail. A third man tied to the
pair, Pomona resident Alejandro Ros-
ales, was released with a ticket.

a.m. when he caught the attention of
Claremont officers by failing to dim his
high beams. Officers then witnessed the
suspect as he failed to stop at a cross-
walk and signal before making a right
turn into a curb. With a blood alcohol
content of more than twice the legal
limit, Mr. Molina was arrested, booked
and later released on $15,000 bail.

around 2:30 a.m. when officers pulled
her over. According to Lt. Ciszek, the
22-year-old displayed signs of intoxica-
tion and was found to be over the legal
limit. Ms. Medrano was arrested and
released on $5,000 bail.

EDUCATION
Claremont Unified School District has
taken the reins back from LA County in an ef-
fort to gain more financial and administrative
control when it comes to serving the needs of
special education students.
Because of the change-up, effective this
coming fall, room must be made in CUSD and
neighboring districts for a number of students
once educated through county programs. This
means 45 to 60 new students, some severely
disabled, will be coming to Claremont
schools, according to Assistant Superintend-
ent of Schools Mike Bateman.
As it stands, Danbury Elementary School
home to some 75 kids with physical disabili-
ties and/or health impairmentswill welcome
an estimated 25 new students. The impact of
the influx will be lessened, because about 16
current Danbury students will be transferred
to the Pomona Unified School District. CUSD
offered to keep these inter-district transfer stu-
dents at Danbury for the sake of comfort and
continuity, Mr. Bateman said, but Pomona opted to
make room for the kids in their district.
Minus those transfers, Danbury will ultimately get
only nine or 10 additional students after leaving the
county. El Roble Intermediate School is expecting to
take on four or five new students, while Claremont
High School is planning for 12 to 15 new students. Mr.
Bateman emphasized that the numbers are changing
every day. The final amount of disabled students Clare-
mont will be serving due to the restructuring will be an-
nounced at an August school board meeting.
CUSD is preparing for the change with some new
employees, including new aides and another nurse at
the district as well as two new teachers at Danbury, ac-
cording to Mr. Bateman.
The new hires will be partially funded by a combi-
nation of state and federal funds allocated for every
school child as well as funding aimed at supporting spe-
cial education programs. The district may also benefit
from some sub-grants available to assist students with
multiple disabilities. CUSD also hopes it will eventu-
ally receive a bit more state and federal funding as a re-
sult of the emancipation from Los Angeles County.
Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education
Act (IDEA), public schools must provide a free, ap-
propriate education to special education students rang-
ing in age from 3 to 21. Such programs, however, are
not fully funded on either the federal or state level. As
a result, CUSDlike all districtsmust support spe-
cial education with money from its general fund, ac-
cording to Assistant Superintendent of Business
Services Lisa Shoemaker.
A bit of background
By state law, all primary and secondary schools must
belong to a Special Education Local Plan Area
(SELPA), an organization responsible for implementing
the requirements of the IDEA.
CUSD belongs to the East San Gabriel Valley
SELPA, a partnership of local districts that pool their
resources to achieve economy of scale and more op-
tions in the area of special education. Other consortium
members include the Azusa, Baldwin Park, Bassett,
Bonita, Charter Oak, Covina-Valley, Glendora,
Pomona, Walnut Valley and West Covina districts.
For three decades, the Los Angeles County Office of
Education has served as the administrative unit for the
East San Gabriel Valley SELPA, distributing funding,
organizing hiring and providing space for students
deemed in need of county programs. No longer.
Beginning with the 2014-2015 school year, the
East San Gabriel Valley SELPA will break away
from LACOE, transferring the operation of spe-
cial education programs to member districts.
The SELPA thought we could run the pro-
grams cheaper and better, rather than having
them administered by LA County, Mr. Bateman
said.
In a recent statement posted on the East San
Gabriel Valley SELPA website, the consortium
noted that the cost of contracting with the
LACOE has risen sharply in recent years, largely
thanks to the escalating overhead of running the
county offices in Downey.
The local SELPA also hopes the change will
cut red tape.
Currently, if CUSD wants to hire a new spe-
cial education teacher or a classroom or health
aide, they have to go through the LACOE office.
Because LACOE recruits staff for all of Los An-
geles County, there is often a significant delay in
filling vacancies in the east San Gabriel Valley.
The LACOE also designs programs and develops
curricula, so the switch-up will allow Claremont and
other consortium members more freedom in how they
educate students. This academic elbowroom will make
it easier for CUSD to align special education programs
with district curriculum. The referral process for stu-
dents who need special services or would benefit from
transfer to another district specializing in their disabil-
ity will also be streamlined.
The board of the East San Gabriel Valley SELPA,
comprised of the superintendents of each member dis-
trict, also believes students will benefit from being on
a school campus rather than in a classroom in a county
facility, according to the organizations website.
Students attending programs on district school sites
will be integral parts of the student body, because they
will be district students rather than LACOE students.
We expect them to benefit socially and academically
from more opportunities for inclusion with their nondis-
abled peers.
Questions are anticipated
Claremont does not educate all district students with
disabilities but instead reaches out for assistance to dis-
tricts in the local SELPA, each of which has a specialty.
For instance, CUSD regularly sends students who are
deaf or hard of hearing to the Covina Unified School
District, which is known to excel in educating hearing-
impaired students. Azusa schools specialty is teaching
visually impaired students, while West Covina is pre-
pared to accept severely emotionally disturbed kids.
CUSD, which specializes in teaching orthopedically
handicapped students as well as kids who are consid-
ered medically fragile, has long accepted students from
other districts falling into those categories.
Claremont parents with special education students
may have some questions, such as, Will my child have
to transfer to another district based on this policy?
The East San Gabriel Valley SELPA statement on the
dissolution of its partnership with the Los Angeles Of-
fice of Education, available at www.esgvselpa.org, sug-
gests that anyone with questions about what the move
means for their family should contact the director of
special education for their school district.

not returned calls from the COURIER as of press time.

Hey, guess who retired?
Marcia.
Yeah, Marcia! And they didnt even
give her a send-off! She just left...
He had told me last year that Marcia was about to re-
tire. I had known Marcia when I was a student at UC
Riverside, from which I graduated in 1985, and she
was in charge of helping the disabled students there get
the equipment and assistance they needed to do the
work for their classes. He has a similar job at another
UC campus and would see Marcia from time to time at
meetings.
He and I would see each other nearly every year. We
were talking recently at an annual gathering that takes
place over Memorial Day weekend. I have gone to the
gathering in the hills above Malibu every year since
2001, and he has been at most of those as well.
When I began attending the gathering and when I
met him, UC Riverside and Marcia were far in my
past. With the usual and unusual twists and turns,
things were different, and it seemed a lifetime or two
since I graduated. The gathering was very much part of
my life nowsomething I never thought I would be
doing when I was in Riversidebut then it turned out
that he, in my life now, knew Marcia, knew a part of
my life back then.
This was one of many connections that happen all
the time. Even so, they tend to be a surprise, and this
one was all the more surprising because it was so unex-
pected. Meeting a former disabled UC student may or
may not have been unusual and surprising to him, but
meeting someone who works with disabled UC stu-
dents and whowhats moreknows someone who
did this with me when I was a UC student was defi-
nitely a surprise for me.
But sometimes a connection that is or should be ex-
pected turns out to be a real shock. I saw this a few
years ago with another UC connection, this time a fel-
low UC Riverside graduate who I had been close to
while there.
I have my complaints about Facebook and dont go
on it as much as most people seem to, but I have to say
that the way it helps people connect or re-connect is
pretty amazing. This is what happened a few years ago
when I got a message that I wasnt sure about.
The name of the guy was different, and his picture
was not what I remembered, but there was something
familiar. Could this be Russell, who had been one of
my best friends in college, who I had not seen or heard
from in 25 years, who I had always wondered about?
It turned out that it was Russell and, after a flurry of
excited e-mail messages and about a week, I found my-
self going to have dinner with him in West LA, where
he has been living and working quite successfully.
Going to meet someone who I had not had any contact
with for half of my life was very odd, even scary, but it
was great to see him. I felt bad for losing touch with
him after school, but its good that were back in touch
and that we see each other from time to time (I told
him I dont want it to be another 25 years!).
No doubt it will be easier for those who graduated
from the colleges here a few weeks ago not to lose
touch with one another. Not seeing and hearing from
each other for 25 years is much more unlikely now. As
I have noted before, these graduates live much of their
lives online, with Facebook only the beginning and
possibly so yesterday (as my nephew informed me
MySpaceremember MySpace?was about five
years ago).
Whether because of this or despite this, the connec-
tions these graduates have to Claremont will be all the
more important, all the more precious.
This important, precious connection is perhaps most
dramatically seen in such events as Pomona Colleges
Alumni Weekend, which always appears to draw a nice
crowd in early May, right before the end of the school
year. Centered on Marston Quad in front of Bridges
Auditorium, it looks like a community carnival or re-
ally like a fete on an English country estate, with color-
ful tents and boxed lunches on the lawn, the class
parade and concerts by the college band and glee club.
Fundraising is doubtlessly what this is all about, but
connections definitely are a big part. This weekend
plays a key role in maintaining and nurturing the ties to
and among the colleges graduates. (When I go by, I
am particularly amused to see the obviously very re-
cent graduates. I wonder how they can afford this little
weekend jaunt, and I imagine them slipping so easily
back into the dorms and whatever favorite nooks, reliv-
ing their college days and nights.)
As busy and buzzy as the alumni weekends are,
there are many, many graduates who dont attend, but
most will surely find at least a few connections in the
future with their college days. And even with, or per-
haps because of, Facebook or whatever, some may
well be a surprise. And, as me with the city of River-
side, which I really dont recognize when Ive had to
go there in recent years, their days in Claremont proba-
bly dont have much to do with Claremont. (A couple
years ago at Pomona Colleges graduation, a student
speaker pronounced Claremont a nice retirement
community.)
Of course, it is a different situation, as it was for me,
for most of those who will be receiving degrees at the
commencement ceremony this next week at Claremont
High School. Claremont will always be so much more
than the town where their school was. As with me,
Claremont, and all its connections, will be part of their
lives, whether settled here or roaming everywhere but
here.

A Freudian slip?
Unused turn signals
Dear Editor:
Driving east last week on Arrow
Highway in La Verne, a police patrol
car passed me on the right, changed
lanes five times ahead of me without
turn signals, and stopped to my left
waiting for the light to change to make
a left turn north off of Arrow. I rolled
my window down and said to the offi-
cer, How about setting an example by
using your turn signals? He said, You
didnt see my signals? I said, No.
And you didnt use them. The light
changed. He went north and I contin-
ued east.
Ive got my pet peeves, and unused
turn signals is one of them. When a po-
lice officer doesnt set an example,
complying with the California Vehicle
Code in obvious ways, it may be a sign
of arrogance, i. e, Im the law and I
dont have to do what civilians have to
do, or it may be laziness or other ex-
cuses.
But, until driverless cars populate our
roads and safety and courtesy will be
computerized, drivers are still required
to use turn signals. By the way, they are
not only required when maneuvering,
they are also a courtesy.
How about it? Reduce my peevish-
ness and use your turn signals. By the
way, they usually dont cancel them-
selves. As a commercial driver, Ive
been guilty of forgetting to cancel them
after a lane change. That is embarrass-
ing, but it is also a big distraction. A 65-
foot rig with forever-flashing signals
may be a sign that the driver is asleep.
Give that rig extra clearance. Peeved,
Chris Rubel

Voting Rights Act amendment
Dear Editor:
In January, a bipartisan group of Rep-
resentatives did something that is rare
nowadays: they put aside politics to gov-
ern. By introducing HR 3899, the Voting
Rights Amendment Act of 2014
(VRAA), Representatives Sensenbren-
ner, Conyers, Scott and Lewis came to-
gether to forge workable, common sense
solutions that would modernize the elec-
tions process and protect voting rights
against discrimination.
The league was hopeful Congress
would move quickly to repair the dam-
age caused by the Supreme Courts de-
cision in Shelby v. Holder, but four
months later we are still waiting for ac-
tion to be taken. HR 3899 modernizes
the coverage formula for preclearance to
ensure it is based on recent acts of dis-
crimination and provides narrow mech-
anisms to prevent discrimination in
voting nationwide. It also provides a na-
tional notification system to keep voters
up to date on changes to upcoming elec-
tions. The VRAA is an important step
forward for our democracy, where the
right to vote is not about politics or the
outcome of elections; it is about equality
and justice.
Through the support of league mem-
bers and supporters like you, weve al-
ready generated over 35,000 letters to
Congress on this legislation. But we need
to keep the pressure on! If we are to en-
sure that each and every eligible voter is
treated fairly at the ballot box and has an
equal right and equal access to vote, we
must continue to make our voices heard.
Please join the League in calling for a
hearing on HR 3899. Lets move for-
ward and modernize the Voting Rights
Act to protect our most fundamental
right: the right to vote.

W
hat does Harvey Mudd College
and the Claremont School of
Theology have in common
with the Rockefeller Center and the Mu-
seum of Modern Art in New York, and the
Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, and
the United States Embassy in New Delhi,
and the Stanford Medical Center in Palo
Alto, and Busch Memorial Stadium in St.
Louis, and the Eisenhower Medical Cen-
ter in Rancho Mirage, and the AON Cen-
ter in Chicago, and the Beckman
Auditorium at Cal Tech in Pasadena, and
the General Motors Building in New York
City, and...?
They were all designed by one of Americas fore-
most architects of the mid-twentieth century, Edward
Durell Stone, who established an international reputa-
tion and designed buildings throughout the world. Mr.
Stone has been described as a colossus, a visionary
and a giant of modern architecture. Rooted firmly in
the Beaux-Arts style, he moved away from his train-
ing and embraced the International Style for his early
austere and unornamented buildings such as the Mu-
seum of Modern Art in New York City, which earned
him critical acclaim. Then, after World War II, his
monumental architecture, such as the John F.
Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washing-
ton, DC, exposed his embracing of popular tastes by
broadening the definition of Modernism that included
decoration.
Edward Durell Stone was born on March 9, 1902 in
Fayetteville, Arkansas. His family, early settlers of the
region, owned a prosperous dry goods store. Mr.
Stone attended the University of Arkansas, and then
apprenticed himself to Henry R. Shepley in Boston
until 1925. After completing his studies at Harvard
University and the Massachusetts Institute of Tech-
nology, he won the prestigious Rotch Travelling Fel-
lowship, which afforded him the opportunity to travel
throughout Europe and North Africa for two years.
During his travels, he maintained sketchbooks and
completed many fine watercolor drawings in the
Beaux-Arts style.
Mr. Stone returned to New York City in 1929, and
joined the firm of Schultze & Weaver, where he de-
signed the main lobby and grand ballroom of the Wal-
dorf-Astoria Hotel. His work with other architectural
firms included the Rockefeller Center project, as prin-
cipal designer of the Radio City Music Hall and in
conjunction with the interior designer, Donald
Deskey. His relationship with Mr. Deskey led to his
first independent commission in 1933, for Richard
Mandel, whose family owned the Mandel Brothers
department store. Mr. Stone produced a modernist
masterpiece of a home in Mount Kisco, New York,
that was added to the National Register of Historic
Places in 1996.
Mr. Stone was then selected as the architect of the
Museum of Modern Art in New York City that
opened in 1937. It was at this point that he opened his
own office in Rockefeller Center. He continued to de-
sign in the modernist vocabulary for the remainder of
the 1930s but, during an automobile trip across the
country in 1940, he tapped into his Beaux-Arts train-
ing in part due to his growing dissatisfaction with the
austerity of the modernist aesthetic. On the trip, he
visited Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin in Wisconsin, a
visit that encouraged him to seek new forms rooted in
American vernacular design. But his exploration of
this new approach to architecture was interrupted by
World War II.
Mr. Stone enlisted in the Army Air Force in August
1942 as a captain and was promoted to the rank of
major in 1943. He was stationed in Washington, DC,
as the chief of the Planning and Design Section,
where he was responsible for the design of the Army
Air Force bases. He was discharged in November
1945.
After his discharge, Mr. Stone reopened his archi-
tectural practice in a townhouse on East 64th Street in
New York City. His commissions during the later part
of the 1940s were mainly single-family homes, but
there were notable exceptions, such as the 300-room
El Panama Hotel in Panama City in 1946. The mod-
ern aspects of the building and its environmentally-
sensitive design generated critical interest and the
hotel was featured in Life magazine in January 1952.
In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Mr. Stone was
the Chief Design Critic and associate professor of ar-
chitecture at the Yale University School of Architec-
ture. The position allowed him to recruit skilled
young staff for his office and his supportive manner
as a teacher and designer created an office environ-
ment that fostered inquiry and experimentation.
During this period, Mr. Stone continued to
explore vernacular architectural forms, incorporating
Wrightian motifs and rustic materiality fused with
modernist sensibilities and the modular construction
techniques he had encountered while designing bases
with the Army Air Force. The influence of Wright
can be seen in the design of Harvey Mudd College,
1956. The Mudd campus contains Wright design ele-
ments and the influence of the International Style,
such as the block construction, low entrances that
opened to higher ceilinged interior spaces, low-cov-
ered walkways and minimal, Beaux-Arts inspired or-
namentation.
Mr. Stones career took-off and he was awarded the
commission for the United States Embassy in New
Delhi, India in 1954, as well as the United States
Pavilion for the 1958 International Exposition in
Brussels, Belgium. Mr. Stones design of the New
Delhi Embassy is considered to be his most important
building. His austere modernism was replaced by an
ornate formality and his admirers included Frank
Lloyd Wright, who called it the only embassy that
does credit to the United States.
The design of the Embassy is important in that the
concepts Mr. Stone employed can be seen at the cam-
pus of Claremont School of Theology, 1957. It is
modernism, yet speaks of history. As Mr. Stone him-
self said, I believe the inspiration for a building
should be in the accumulation of history. He decried
the passing enthusiasms of modernism, but did not
dismiss the modernism movement. He asserted that
architecture should be timeless and convey by its
very fiber the assurance of permanence.
Much like Millard Sheets, Mr. Stone played with
modernism and traditional forms, creating enduring
architecture. The buildings of the School of Theology,
like the Embassy, exhibit the architects trademark tall
columns and wide cantilevered roofs, grille work and
updated decoration. In 1972, Mr. Stone designed the
centerpiece of the campus, the Kresge Chapel, con-
sidered now to be the essence of New Formalism.
A cover story in Time magazine in 1958, led to a
series of important national and international commis-
sions, and Mr. Stones firm grew from 20 architects to
more than 200. His office became a stratified corpo-
rate entity and many of the day believed his work be-
came uneven and formulaic. Mr. Stone was shunned
by the critical architectural community for his repudi-
ation of the pure modernist aesthetic, but his office
thrived. United Press International described him as
the most quoted architect since the death of Frank
Lloyd Wright.
Despite being shunned by a great many in the ar-
chitectural world, Mr. Stone continued to receive
major architectural commissions into the early 1970s.
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts
in Washington, DC, the AON Center (formerly the
Standard Oil Building) in Chicago and the Pakistan
Institute of Nuclear Science and Technology, are no-
table examples of his late work.
In the last few years, Mr. Stone, who died in 1978,
has again received more notice with the publication of
Edward Durell Stone: A Sons Untold Story of a
Legendary Architect by Hicks Stone (2011), and
Edward Durell Stone: Modernisms Populist Ar-
chitect by Mary Anne Hunting (2012). His architec-
ture is being looked at in a new light and with a
growing acceptance of his particular brand of mod-
ernism, now that the true believers no longer brand
him an architectural heretic.
Modernism. It seems, that to this day, people either
love it or hate it, with no middle ground. Harvey
Mudd College is often listed on websites declaring it
one of Americas ugliest college campuses. On the
Travel and Leisure list of Ugliest College Campuses,
it ranks #24 and its Beaux-Arts decoration is de-
scribed as knobbly concrete squares that students of
Harvey Mudd affectionately call warts and use as
hooks for skateboards. They even created an unoffi-
cial mascot, which appears on college paperwork, in
the shape of personified concrete wart.
Number 34 on the ugly campus list is Pitzer Col-
lege and its architects, modernists Criley & McDow-
ell, are just now being recognized for their vast body
of work. That is why it is dangerous to demolish
buildings of the recent past before there is enough re-
search and study. It takes a while for a relatively new
aesthetic to be understood. It takes time for the tastes
of the public to catch up with the creations of the in-
novators. The Illinois Institute of Technology, de-
signed by no other than Ludwig Mies van der Rohe,
also made the list. While despised after its construc-
tion and left to deteriorate, his buildings are now
being restored and devotees of modernism are flock-
ing to tour the campus.
Hopefully, in Claremont, we will wait a bit longer
than most and give our modern buildings time for the
collective consciousness to catch up to the master-
pieces they are about to become.

S
miling faces and warm temperatures
greeted members of the Claremont
Police Department (CPD) and ath-
letes from Special Olympics Pomona Val-
ley as they ran side-by-side down Foothill
Boulevard for the Law Enforcement Torch
Run Final Leg.
Athletes Michael Evans, Kenny Williams and Austin
Frederick took turns carrying the Flame of Hope
down the 2.3-mile stretch of Claremont road, with
Austin leading the pack as he accepted the handoff from
the Upland Police Department at Monte Vista Boule-
vard.
Claremont Police Aides Yvette Walker and Zachary
Martin ran alongside Sgt. Lori Davenport and Police
Aide Michael Hillman, who carried the torch with pride
through the City of Trees. For first-time runner Mr. Mar-
tin, the event presented an opportunity to show young
people that everything is possible.
The Torch Run and the Special Olympics is a good
example on how to stay strong through adversity and
teaches integrity. Im excited to be a part of it this year,
Mr. Martin shared with the COURIER.
For Ms. Walker, an 8-year Torch Run veteran, the
event holds a special place in her heart. My stepson has
special needs so my husband and I support this organi-
zation every year with the run. The torch is passed to
everybody and nobody gets left behind. Its a really
wonderful thing.
Each year, more than 4,000 officers and Special
Olympics athletes proudly run throughout southern Cal-
ifornia in May and June carrying the Flame of Hope
as part of the Law Enforcement Torch Run Final Leg.
The run is made up of three main legs (North, Central
and South) and nearly a dozen smaller legs that convene
at the Summer Game championships, where they unite
into a single flame.
Officers from local, county, state, federal and military
agencies run 1,500 miles across the southland and
through 200 communities with the torch to raise aware-
ness for Special Olympics Southern California.
Upland resident Anissa Campbell and her two chil-
dren, Nora and Andrew, came out to the San
Bernardino/Los Angeles County Line to show their sup-
port for law enforcement and the Special Olympics.
The Special Olympics is a fabulous organization and
when I heard about the run coming through town, I
wanted to share it with my kids, says Ms. Campbell.
Being able to show our support for all the athletes and
cheer them on as they approach the Summer Games was
a great experience for all of us.
The Torch Run is expected to conclude at 9:45 a.m.
on Friday, June 6 at USCs Loker Stadium. An officer
and a Special Olympics athlete will then carry the torch
into the Opening Ceremony, kicking off the 2014 Spe-
cial Olympics Southern California Summer Games In-
vitational.
This year, Special Olympics Pomona Valley (SOPV)
will participate in three events at the Summer Games
with athletes from Claremont, La Verne, San Dimas,
Pomona, Glendora and Walnut competing.
Weve got 12 athletes competing in track and field,
10 athletes in basketball and a team of five for bocce,
says Russ Evans, Area Director for SOPV. Were going
to have a lot of fun!
The 2014 Summer Games Invitational starts on Fri-
day, June 6 and concludes on Sunday, June 8.

Elizabeth Moses Fuller
Exceptional artist, seeker of origins
OBITUARIES
An important figure in the Claremont
art scene for more than half a century,
Elizabeth Moses Fuller died at her
home on Eighth Street on May 22,
2014, surrounded by her family and the
art work that she had created over a life-
time. Liz Fuller was 84 years of age.
The daughter of Paul and Betty
Moses was born in Santa Rosa, Califor-
nia on November 17, 1929. The family
subsequently settled in Ontario where
Paul Moses was a member of the fac-
ulty at Chaffey High School. Both Liz
and her late brother, Richard Dick
Moses, attended and graduated from
Chaffey High School. Liz also attended
Chaffey College. She was proud of her
course work at Chouinard Art Institute
and later received her master of fine
arts degree from Claremont Graduate
School.
Liz was married to James Fuller, also
a noted artist, for 63 years and together
they pursued a life in the arts through-
out those years. Jim is a painter and
printmaker, and Liz developed an ex-
traordinary gift for textile design and
fabric sculpture.
Liz was known for her keen wit and
kind heartshe was, her family notes,
a wonderful mother and grandmother,
wife and friend who shared her keen in-
sights and sense of humor with those
who knew her. She was especially
drawn to the origin of things: ancient
designs of the world, fabric making and
surface design, languages and poetry
and music of the world. A voracious
reader, Liz was described by Jim as
being snagged by the printed word.
She combined her learning into original
and rich insights, many of which she
transformed into art. When asked about
her interest and intensity in reading, she
said, I am looking for clues. Her cu-
riosity and creativity inspired those
around her.
The Fullers raised their three daugh-
ters in Claremont. In addition to her
husband Jim, Liz leaves Mary and Griff
Roberts of Claremont, Phoebe and
Richard Graham of Irvine, and Suzanne
and James Braswell of Miami, Florida
as well as grandson Martin Roberts and
his wife Elizabeth, grandson Paul
Roberts of Claremont and great-grand-
son Aylen of San Francisco .
Her family recalls that Liz adhered to
the Navajo Blessing Way Prayer in
her originality and love.
A memorial service in honor of Liz
Fuller will be held on Saturday, June 7,
2014 at 1 p.m. at Christ Episcopal
Church, 1127 N. San Antonio Ave. in
Ontario. A reception follows at the
church.

OBITUARIES
Kay Smith, a longtime Claremont
resident, died on April 15, 2014 at
home due to complications from pul-
monary fibrosis. She was surrounded
by family and by the love and prayers
of her numerous friends.
Mrs. Smith was born in Richmond,
Indiana on February 17, 1941 to
George and Virginia Otis. In 1948 she
moved to Claremont with her grandpar-
ents, Edna and Paul Tacke, and her
beloved younger sister Markeen, where
they lived in the Russian Village.
Young Kay attended Sycamore Ele-
mentary School and Claremont High
School (Class of 1958). It was there she
met the love of her life, Jim Smith
(CHS class of 1955).
Shortly after graduation, the couple
was married at Claremont First Baptist
Church and settled into their first home
at Gale Ranch. Mr. Smith worked as a
mechanic and was later the owner of
Bills Brake Shop, located at the corner
of First and Yale in downtown Clare-
mont. Mrs. Smith was a stay-at-home
mom with their children, Debbie and
Bill, for several years.
Returning to school, Mrs. Smith re-
ceived her bachelors degree in sociol-
ogy and masters degree in counseling
from the University of La Verne. After
completing her post-graduate certificate
in high school counseling at Chapman
College, she became a counselor at
Bonita High School, retiring in 2008.
After retiring, Mrs. Smith became a
volunteer at Pomona First Baptist
Church where she was a member, at
Pomona Valley Hospital and she also
volunteered for the VNA Hospice in
Claremont, which later cared for her.
Mrs. Smith continued to volunteer
until a few months before she died. She
was also the official Claremont tour
guide for all her friends and extended
family. She loved giving tours of the
Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Gardens,
the downtown area and all her favorite
childhood locations.
Mrs. Smith also loved tending her
extensive and beautiful rose garden and
baking as well as planning and hosting
holiday parties. She is remembered for
her bright smile, her kindness and her
generosity.
Mrs. Smith is survived by her chil-
dren, Debbie (Daniel) Contreras and
Bill Smith; by her grandchildren,
Dustin (Jessica) Contreras, David Con-
treras, Jordyn Smith and Grant Smith;
and by her great-grandchildren, Bran-
don Contreras and Elise Smith-Hughes.

Claremont School of Theology
moves to bolster interreligious ties
Claremont School of Theology (CST) has moved
to expand its interreligious ties with several graduate
theological schools located across southern Califor-
nia. The school, one of 13 graduate institutions offi-
cially affiliated with The United Methodist Church,
has pursued a series of direct agreements with Bud-
dhist, Muslim and Jewish institutions in recent
months. The agreements will allow CST students to
enroll in classes offered by partner institutions, and
vice versa.
We believe that these agreements illustrate our on-
going commitment to interreligious education, said
CST President Jeffrey Kuan. It continues to be the
contention of [CST] that the pluralistic nature of 21st
century religious life demands leaders who are con-
versant across religious traditions.
Cross-registration agreements have already been
reached with University of the West, a Buddhist insti-
tution based in Rosemead, and Bayan Claremont, a
Muslim graduate theological school that operates as a
program of CST. The details of a similar agreement
with the Los Angeles-based Academy of Jewish Reli-
gion are currently being finalized.
The agreements follow CSTs decision to end its
relationship with Claremont Lincoln University in
April. That decision resulted from a mutual agree-
ment that the schools philosophies had diverged. The
CST board of trustees reinforced that decision last
week through a vote not to take part in a restructured
consortium proposed by Claremont Lincoln Univer-
sity. The board simultaneously supported Bayan
Claremonts status as a program of the school.
Prior to the dissolution of the relationship between
CST and Claremont Lincoln, students could pursue
coursework at member institutions through the Clare-
mont Lincoln consortium. Students may now register
directly with the host institution.
In addition to these cross-registration agreements,
Claremont School of Theology is actively pursuing
opportunities to expand its interreligious engage-
ments. Among the initiatives already being consid-
ered include an interreligious internship program that
would place students in teams with colleagues of dif-
fering religious traditions.
Starting next fall, students at Claremont School of
Theology will be able to enroll in courses taught by
adjunct faculty on Hinduism and Buddhism.

T
he 31st annual Claremont Folk
Festival at the Santa Ana Botanic
Garden on Saturday, May 31 was
one of the hottest tickets in town. With the
citys own superstars Ben and Ellen
Harper headlining the event, fans gathered
in anticipation, eager to lose themselves in
the sounds of the duo.
What they didnt anticipate, however, was Mr.
Harpers darling duet with another Claremont native,
4-year-old Josef Luevano, who ended up stealing the
show.
Claremont resident Karla Ramos, who was attend-
ing the festival with her husband and two sons, had
been enjoying the Harpers performance from the
back row of the audience when Josef turned to her
and said, Mom, hes talking about Neil Young!
Knowing her sons love for the singer, Ms. Ramos
took Josef by the hand and led him to the front of the
crowd so he could get a VIP experience. Thats when
the pint-sized performer made up his mind about what
to do next, telling his mom, He likes Neil Young. I
want to tell him I like Neil Young too!
Both Josef and his 2-year-old brother Atticus have
been listening to the rockers music since they were
infants, so it was no surprise that he would want to
share his favorite song with another Neil Young fan.
When the Harpers finished their performance,
Josef marched right up to the front of the stage and,
after a brief exchange, Mr. Harper lifted the boy on-
stage and the duo broke into their rendition of Heart
of Gold.
To the delight of the crowd, the Claremont United
Methodist Nursery School student held his own next
to Mr. Harper, giving a thumbs up mid-song and
garnering applause from the audience when he nailed
the lyrics to the Young classic.
My favorite part was singing and smiling. I felt
the music in my heart, Josef told the COURIER. It
was like being on a ride.
The performance ended with a standing ovation
from the audience and Mr. Harper giving Josef a gui-
tar slide, telling the tot, Josef, in like 20 years, just
give me the opening gig, would ya? Theyre hard to
come by!
Mr. Harpers mom followed that comment up with
her own suggestion. Yeah, Josef, get your mom up
there with you in 20 years!
With the audience still laughing, the youngster left
the stage, high-fiving fans as he made his way back
to his family.
For Josefs mom, the kindness shown by Mr.
Harper and the joy he brought to her son in that mo-
ment is something shell forever cherish.
Thank you for making him happy, Ben says Ms.
Ramos. He was so excited, it made my heart ex-
plode.
Joseph intends on thanking the singer himself by
sending him an autographed photo of the two of them
singing onstage. He hopes Mr. Harper will reciprocate
the gesture with a signature of his own.
Check out the performance yourself on our website
at www.claremont-courier.com
Ben and Ellen Harpers album Childhood Home
is available in stores now.

SPORTS
T
he Lady Wolfpack dis-
tance squad is used to
meeting high expecta-
tions. After winning the 2013
Sierra League Cross-Country
Championships, the team was
ready for the 2014 track sea-
son.
For freshman and Claremont native
Annie Boos, the sport was so new, it
was hard to figure what would be her
strongest event. The 1600-meter is
more tactical, while the 400-meter is
more explosive. So naturally, that led
her to try the 800-meter race.
I was timid to do the 800, Annie
said. Its a bit of a love-hate relation-
ship, but Coach Rob pushed me into
it.
Distance coach Rob Lander saw that
Annie had a strong aerobic component
when observing her in the 1600-meter
relay, so he thought the 800-meter
would be a perfect fit. This 14-year-old
did more than just excel in this event
she owned it.
Annies recent achievements include
800-meter Sierra League Finals Cham-
pion, finishing in 2:13.98; first place in
CIF-SS Prelims in 2:13.73; fifth place
in CIF-SS Finals in 2:11.64; and sev-
enth place in CIF-SS Masters in
2:12.64. She almost qualified for the
2014 Track and Field State Champi-
onships, but just missed the auto-quali-
fying time of 2:11.80.
Shes just modest, Coach Lander
said. Its a very tactical race. She sur-
veys the field well and she has shown
very good speed.
Coach Lander also mentioned that if
compared, Annies 2:11.64 CIF-SS
Final Division resultsClaremont
High School is Division II (DII)
would put her ahead of several other di-
vision winners. This includes DI
Etiwanda freshman Jacquelyn Hill with
2:12.22, DIII San Marcos freshman
Erica Schroeder with 2:15.53, and DIV
Marlborough sophomore Bianca
Alonzo with 2:16.11.
I thought I would barely make it to
CIF Prelims, Annie said. It was just
surreal getting this far.
Annie says she has kind of a one-
track mind when it comes to running.
Coach Lander, however, said she also
has more of a loose attitude on the
track.
She is very free-spirited, Coach
Lander said. During Masters, while
you see others looking serious, Annie
would roll her arms out while jogging.
She has managed to balance sports
and academics while earning above a
3.7 GPA. Looking back at her freshman
season, Annie knows that she can go
further.
I am shooting for state my sopho-
more year, Annie said. Looking back
and knowing what I can do gives me
confidence that I can make it.
Annies hard work and determination
has not gone unnoticed.
We can all say were very proud of
her, Coach Lander said.
CHS Sierra League tennis champ
makes exit in CIF play
Sophomore Andrew Leahy repre-
sented Claremont High School well at
the 2014 CIF Individual Tennis Cham-
pionships on May 29 at the University
of Redlands.
He had a bye in the first round that
afforded him extra time to prepare for
the second round, which he won easily
6-0, 6-0. However, Alta Loma senior
Victor Brown defeated Leahy in the
third round with a tie-break set, 10-8,
according to head coach Clint Rees.
Victor took him to the brink,
Coach Rees said. Andrew played well,
but Victor had him when he served at
9-8.
Overall, Coach Rees said that Leahy
had a fantastic season. He only lost one
set during the regular season against
Chino Hills freshman Brian Lo, 5-4 by
default, but Leahy was defeated in the
Sierra League Finals, 6-0 and 6-2.

The PETITION requests authority to administer the
estate under the Independent Administration of

representative to take many actions without obtaining
court approval. Before taking certain very important
actions, however, the personal representative will be
required to give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to the proposed
action.) The independent administration authority will
be granted unless an interested person files an objec-

court should not grant the authority.

or file written objections with the court before the
hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your
attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a CONTINGENT
CREDITOR OF THE DECEDENT, you must file
your claim with the court and mail a copy to the per-
sonal representative appointed by the court within the
later of either (1) four months from the date of first
issuance of letters to a general personal representative,
as defined in section 58 (b) of the California Probate
Code, 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 authority may
affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to
consult with an attorney knowledgeable in
California law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE THE FILE KEPT BY THE
COURT. If you are a person interested in the estate,
you may file with the court a Request for Special
Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and
appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account
as provided in Probate Code section 1250. ARequest
for Special Notice form is available from the court
clerk.
