Fake news, hacking and Trump tweets:

who can you trust?
by Peter Weinberger
f news from this week is

any indication, the general
public will develop a real
thirst for accurate reporting.
Most people think the news
media is already biased, but so
far in 2017 we continue to see
fake news making a real impact
on everyone, from the general
public to the president-elect.
It started earlier this week with Meryl
Streep using her time on the Golden
Globes stage to bash the president-elect
without even saying his name. Her
speech addressed the story of when the
president-elect mocked a disabled reporter from the New York Times during
his campaign. Mr. Trump then reached
out on Twitter where he bashed the actress, calling her over-rated. Clearly
his denial at the mocking incident will
leave the issue unresolved. But the facts
dont support Mr. Trumps explanation.
So what else is new?
And does anyone really know what
exactly the Russians have been hacking?
I get the feeling our government kinda
sorta does. Its hard to tell, since the public gets only snippets of information on
whats happening. On Wednesday, Mr.
Trump even acknowledged Russia was
responsible for hacking Democratic National Committee servers, but only after
he heard intelligence that put him in the
hot seat.
Fake news has been around since journalism began. Hidden in other forms like
yellow journalism or tabloid news,
fake news continues to create serious issues that impact countries all over the
world.
Thats why Facebook just launched a
new initiative, Facebook Journalism
Project, to help ensure the accuracy of
news feeds. Maybe now they will hire
real people as editors instead of relying
on algorithms to make story judgments.
No wonder their new motto is news you
can trust. Sounds like a marketing slogan for a newspaper or Eyewitness
News television in 1981.
My point is the role of the press to sort
out lifes events has never been so important. Some people will accuse the
New York Times or Washington Post of
having a liberal agenda. This is a topic
worthy of discussion during any political
season. But how many editors do you
think are vetting Times stories about
president-elect Trump? I can assure you,
its more than you think.
Sometimes the best news judgment is
not to publish at all, a lesson learned by
Buzzfeed with the posting of unsubstantiated news on supposed compromising
personal and financial information about

Mr. Trump. All this dug up by you know
whoour Russian friends.
The result was the president-elect had
to defend himself during his first-ever
press conference on Wednesday. I think
its a disgrace that information would be
let out.Its all fake news, its phony
stuff, it didnt happen, he said.
Im just glad he has such high standards for accuracy.
The good news was Mr. Trump actually complimented the news organizations that elected not to go with a story.
This includes the much-vilified New
York Times, for whom his respect went
up a notch.
The need for accuracy isnt just for
world events with international intrigue
and spying. Claremont will have eight
candidates going for two spots on our
city council in March. How will you find
unbiased, factual information about each
candidate? And weve been involved in a
lengthy, and costly, trial over the water
system. Does it matter to you the source
of the information?
As publisher, I hope your answer will
be the Claremont COURIER. We take
our role very seriously in providing information so our readers can make educated decisions about their local
government. It may seem like small potatoes compared to a Donald Trump
tweet, but our staff has developed a
state-of-the-art method making it impossible to hack our stories. Its called the
Claremont COURIER print edition.
CITY NEWS
Trees, bugs, money: council works through busy agenda
here was no rest for the

weary as the Claremont
City Council faced a full
agenda for their first meeting of
2017.
The council highlights included voting
unanimously to take charge on combating the Polyphagous Shot-Hole Borer,
denying a request to cut
CITY
down a Eucalyptus tree,
COUNCIL
approving a raise for the
city manager and greenlighting the creation of a new Committee on Human Relations during the January 10 meeting.
The Polyphagous Shot-Hole Borer is a
new bug discovered last year that could
have a devastating effect on the citys heritage trees.
Deputy Director of Community Services Dave Roger presented the report,
outlining a number of treatment options
with various price tags. The option recommended by the city involved treating
the oldest and most vulnerable trees.
This option, which would cost around
$287,000, would leave the youngest infected trees alone, but Mr. Roger noted
that the borer usually targets older trees
and the younger trees have a better
chance of fighting off the disease.
Under the plan, 1,962 trees would be
treated. In total, the borer has infested just
over 5,700 trees, and it would have cost
$333,465 to treat all of them.
Most of the money for the treatment
$239,000will come from the citys Operating and Environmental Emergency
Reserve, Mr. Roger said. An additional
$38,000 will come from the community
services departments funds, as well as a
$10,000 donation from Friends of the
Oak Park Cemetery.
Signs of the borer, which includes little holes in the trunk of the tree that resemble a shotgun blast, have been found
in nearly all the citys parks, including
Oak Park Cemetery, Blaisdell Park, Memorial Park and College Park.
The most effective treatment method,
Mr. Roger said, is a trunk injection,
which involves cutting a hole into the living tissue of the tree and directly placing
the treatment chemicals inside. This
method was approved by the council.
Tree removal request denied

The city also denied a request from a
homeowner to cut down a large cityowned Eucalyptus tree on San Fernando

The owners of this property on San Fernando Court in north Claremont petitioned to have the eucalyptus tree, seen at left, removed because it posed a fire
threat among other issues. The tree is on city land bordering Thompson Creek
Trail and Higginbotham Park.
Road, right at the edge of the Claremont

Hills Wilderness Park (CHWP). The denial upholds the Community and Human
Services Commissions ruling handed
down in December.
The homeowner, Jan Iocco, claimed
the tree was a fire hazarda fire bomb
type of tree that could potentially destroy
her house in the event of a large fire.
She noted the city received $180,000
in grant money in 2012 to take down 139
Eucalyptus trees for the Sycamore
Canyon Park Restoration Project, but
only 35 had been removed. Comparatively, Ms. Iocco noted the city of Whittier was given $190,000 to remove 3,000
trees.
I dont know, the math seems interesting, she said.
City Arborist Ian Gray told the council
that city employees had already pruned
and cut back the tree to reduce the canopy
and a potential fire hazard. He said that
although the Eucalyptus tree does present an elevated fire risk, it does not merit
a removal, as it does not cut back on the
overall fire risk in the neighborhood.
The city also noted that the grant
money for the Sycamore Canyon project
would be used in a phased approach,
over several years, and the 35 trees removed thus far were either dead or dying.
The council voted unanimously
against Ms. Ioccos appeal, but Councilmember Opanyi Nasiali added a provision that city staff would continue to
monitor the tree.
Ramos gets a bonus

The council also approved a bonus for
City Manager Tony Ramos, but not without protestations.
The bonus comes on the heels of a positive evaluation for Mr. Ramos. It will be
a 10 percent bonus, or $21,952.10, a onetime merit award that is not reportable as
compensation under the citys retirement
agreement with PERS, according to city
documents.
The bonus was initially a consent calendar item, but was brought forth for discussion after resident Jim Belna raised
concerns, bringing up Judge Richard
Fruins recent decision against the city in
the eminent domain trial.
In the real world, when an organization loses millions of dollars, the people
who are responsible would be fired, even
if they worked hard and tried their best,
Mr. Belna said. If they somehow managed to keep their job, it would be unthinkable to award them with a bonus.
Mr. Belna also claimed the 10 percent
bonus was among the highest ever
awarded by the city, noting that past city
managers received less and Mr. Ramos
himself has typically received five to

eight percent throughout his tenure as city
manager.
At the end of 2015, Mr. Ramos received a one-time bonus of $28,646,
which included a $17,467 merit award
equal to eight percent of his annual salary,
plus a cash-out of 100 hours of leave pay,
or $11,179, according to city records. His
total pay and benefits for 2015 was
$334,223, up from $331,356 in 2014.
Councilmember Corey Calaycay, who
pulled the item for discussion, asserted
that Mr. Belnas discussion of past city
manager bonuses was not entirely accurate, noting that previous city managers
received cost of living increases in lieu of
a one-time bonus. He also called out Mr.
Belnas ongoing opposition to the citys
attempt to take over the water system,
saying that the 72 percent approval of
Measure W in 2014 essentially mandated
the city to push forward with the trial.
To put any responsibility on [Mr.
Ramos] of what was asked of him by this
council and the public is not a fair thing to
do, he said.
The council unanimously approved
Mr. Ramos bonus.
Human Relations Committee

created
The council also approved the re-creation of a new Committee on Human Relations, which will tackle education in the
realm of human relations and respond to
hate incidents in the city.
The previous Committee on Human
Relations was dissolved in 2013 after a
lack of direction and a quorum, and a
smaller hate crime response team was
created in its place.
The new committee will be comprised
of response team members Lauren
Roselle and Paul Buch, as well as Ellen
Taylor, Rose Ash and Michael Edwards.
The committees creation was spurned
by the recent appearance of an anti-Muslim letter to the Islamic Center of Claremont. To avoid the same fate that befell
the previous committee, the new committee will create a work plan for the year
and adhere to monthly benchmark goals.
The council approved the committee
and the members, but the Community
and Human Services Commission will
approve subsequent new members in the
future. The next city council meeting will
take place on January 24.

Council set to discuss water system, appeal options
special city council meeting will

be convened on January 31 to determine the future of the citys efforts to acquire the water system.
The meeting, which will take place at 6 p.m. in the
council chambers, will discuss options the city may
take in regards to the future of Claremonts quest to
claim the water system from Golden State Water
(GSW), according to City Manager Tony Ramos.
The council will be given information and will be

discussing options the city may take and the cost and
timelines associated with different options, Mr.
Ramos said.
The city suffered a setback in December when LA
Superior Court Judge Richard Fruin ruled against
Claremont after a 21-day right-to-take trial. In the
wake of the decision, residents have issued impassioned statements for and against filing an appeal.
Mayor Sam Pedroza also noted during Tuesdays
council meeting that an ad hoc committeecom-
prised of Councilmembers Joe Lyons and Opanyi

Nasialiwould be created to work with city staff
look for an appellate firm in the event the city decides
to appeal.
Mr. Ramos noted that it would also be discussed at
the January 31 meeting.
The public is encouraged to attend, and there will
be time set aside for public comment.

POLICE BLOTTER
Tuesday, January 3
A Claremont man was arrested in connection with an attempted robbery at a
Shell gas station on New Years Eve.
Christian Bagnerise, 22, was identified
by authorities through surveillance
footage taken from the station, Cpl. Isaac
Reyes of the Claremont Police Department said. Officers went to his home on
the 800 block of Drake just before 3 p.m.,
where officers showed the video and Mr.
Bagnerise reportedly admitted involvement in the attempted hold-up. Mr. Bagnerise was arrested and his bail was set at
$100,000.
****
Taggers vandalized El Roble Intermediate School over the holiday break. The
vandalism occurred between December
28 and January 3, Cpl. Reyes said. The
taggers reportedly etched Ruiner X into
16 different classroom windows, spraypainted a penis and testicles on a storage
container and sprayed F**k this school
and weed on other school walls. Repairs to the vandalized property are estimated at $4,000. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Claremont
Police Department at (909) 399-5411.
****
Police arrested a Pomona man after
he was seen running naked in the middle
of San Jose Avenue. Officers made contact with 29-year-old Bryan Rojas-Contreras near the intersection of San Jose
and Mountain Avenues around 8:15 p.m.
Mr. Rojas-Contreras was reportedly uncooperative and was screaming obscenities at officers. According to Cpl. Reyes,
he also said, Just let me dream, please
just let me dream. He was tackled by officers and, due to a rapid heart rate, he
was transported to Pomona Valley Medical Center. He was issued a citation for
resisting arrest and being under the influence of a controlled substance.
Wednesday, January 4
Between 3:48 and 3:58 a.m., two
unidentified men smashed the glass door
of Euro Cafe, located at 546 E. Base Line

Road, and apparently used a Co2 canister to smash open the safe, Cpl. Reyes
said. The suspects fled with an unknown
amount of cash and got into an unidentified getaway car. Descriptions of the burglars were scarce, as they were wearing
gloves and their faces were obscured by
hoodies.
****
Police arrested a Fontana man after he
was caught allegedly breaking into a car
on the 2500 block of King Way. A resident on the street walked out of her home
and saw a man inside her Toyota Prius
just before 6:30 a.m., Cpl. Reyes said.
The homeowner walked back inside and
called the police. While police checked
the area, a man matching the description
was found near Higginbotham Park.
James Nicholson, 44, ran when officers
arrived, but was caught and detained on
the 2400 block of San Fernando Road.
Mr. Nicholson was reportedly in possession of five cell phones and chargers,
which he stole from numerous vehicles in
the neighborhood. Mr. Nicholson was
arrested and transported to CPD jail.
Thursday, January 5
A Los Angeles man is still at large after he ran from officers after a traffic
stop. Officers got a hit from the ALPR on
a stolen 2000 Toyota Corolla at the
AM/PM on Towne and Arrow. When
they approached the car around 7:42
p.m., the driver, 25-year-old Jairo
Cordero, was argumentative and noncompliant, according to Cpl. Reyes. Officers attempted to hit Mr. Cordero with
a Taser, but it did not get a good connection and he broke free. Mr. Cordero ran
across Arrow Highway and jumped a
wall. Officers searched the area, but he
was not found. A passenger in the Corolla, 23-year-old Nancy Monreal of
Pomona, was arrested for an outstanding
drug warrant. Mr. Cordero is described as
Hispanic, 5 feet, 11 inches tall and 170
pounds with brown hair, brown eyes and
MV tattooed on his chest.
OUR TOWN
community needs this now more than ever before.
This program is exactly what is needed in our community at this sensitive time, Mr. Buch said. When we
welcomed Michael and Alaa to TBI a couple of years
ago, we were focused on Muslim/Jewish understanding.
But now, the issues that are of concern in our community
are much broader. We hope that Michael and Alaa can
inspire us through their example, and show us that we
can build a more united and respectful relationship with
each other no matter what our religious or cultural differences are.

Friday, January 6
Thousands of dollars in goods were
stolen from two homes in north Claremont. In one house, on the 1700 block of
Sumner Avenue, burglars entered through
an unlocked sliding glass door and ransacked the home, making off with
$15,000 worth of jewelry and Taiwanese
currency. Burglars entered a second
home on the 4300 block of Via Padova
by shattering the rear sliding glass door.
Approximately $11,000 worth of jewelry and currency was taken, according to
Cpl. Reyes. Both burglaries happened
between 10 a.m. and 9:45 p.m.
On the same day, around 6:30 p.m., a
resident was home on the 2200 block of
Grand Avenue when they heard someone
trying to break the rear sliding glass door.

is no description of the suspect. Anyone
with information should call the Claremont Police Department.

Officers arrested a 63-year-old man
on a litany of charges after he was caught
in a stolen car in the Vons parking lot. Police got a hit on the BMW 323 as stolen

Eight questions for eight candidates: Zachary Courser

terms of training, expectations and process.
government professor at Claremont McKenna College, Zachary

Courser has also been a member
of the Traffic and Transportation Commission since 2014, where he spearheaded an
effort to look into creating a quiet zone on
railroads through Claremont.
Do you think Claremont is becoming too commercialized, that its losing its small-town feel?
When I was a student here in the 90s, I was here
before the development across Indian Hill Boulevard. I think that was a great change for Claremont. I
think the look of it, the feel of it, is just right. However, I do think that we could remember and recognize our special and unique character and do
morein terms of planning and developmentto
have that reflected so its not lost. I know for me and
for many other people, thats what makes Claremont
a special and unique place.
Why are you running for city council?

The first thing has to do with my experience working as a commissioner on the Traffic and Transportation Commission. I learned a lot about local
government in California. Ive learned a lot about the
city of Claremont and how it
COUNCIL
works, and seen some places
where it really could be imELECTION
proved. I want to take that experience on TTC and bring it to the council.
Another is more of a personal reason, and that is
my disappointment in the 2016 election. It made me
feel that a way to start improving our politics begins
at the local level, and that I should be doing more to
contribute my experience to the community and to
this city.
Do you think the city should issue an appeal in
its effort to take over the water system?
As things stand, we ought to appeal and continue
for a couple of reasons. But I want to clarify exactly
what I meanI think we are obliged to continue this
process because I think the vote was clear. Also,
were committed in the sense that if we lose, were
on the hook for the legal fees for Golden State Water.
And considering that downside, I think we should
continue.
However, after reading the judges decision, I was
not pleased to see his interpretation of the citys legal
representation. I got an impression from him that the
council and the city needed to take a more hands-on
approach on this sequestration. And part of the reason Im running is because I think the council could
use more of that hands-on approach that gets into the
details about public policythat pushes to do things
that arent just the minimum or to be expected but a
little moreparticularly when you enter into really
complex and potentially financially difficult questions for the city.
Last year, the city council rejected a proposal by
the Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority to
install a bridge across Indian Hill Boulevard for
the upcoming Gold Line rail. Do you agree with
their decision?
The Traffic and Transportation Commission was
not consulted on this matter. I anticipated having the
opportunity to look into the issue as a commissioner,
to take citizen input and understand how people felt
about this question. We didnt get the chance.
I was told by staff that the reason for that was they
had a short timeline for making the decision, and I
didnt find that acceptable. I felt that if it was truly
too short of a timeline, they should have asked for

more time. I found that to be an excuse, and felt that

the commission system is not working like it should.
I dont think the council had full input from this
commission process. And I also felt that residents not
only didnt have a chance to talk about it, I dont
think they even knew what was going on. It happened so quickly, I dont know if there was enough
discussion and debate.
Right now the Gold Line is at what is called a 30
percent development plan, where theres still opportunities for communities to weigh in and talk about
small changes to the overall plans. Im not entirely
sure if Gold Line would be open or receptive at this
point in asking for a change, but I think its appropriate and overdue that citizens have the opportunity to
at least hear the issues and decide, because its going
to affect the future of Claremont in some very real
ways. It will be hard to undo that decision later once
the Gold Line is installed.
Recently, there has been some frustration about
the role commissions play when vetting a project.
Do you think commissions hold as much power as
they should in the decision-making process?
I wouldnt put the question in terms of power, but I
would say that as a commissioner, I have felt some
frustrations over being heard by the city staff and
having a strong and meaningful connection, or even
line of communication, with the council. I accepted
the challenge and I tried to work within it.
I have worked particularly on one issue involving
train noise. That was not an easy road in the sense
that I had to disagree with some people on staff. I had
to push hard in certain directions to make not my
voice heard, but citizens voices heard. There were
lots of people showing up to our commission meetings on the question of train noise, when I had been
trying to get the attention of staff beforehand.
If I was elected to the city council, I would concentrate on trying to make the council-commission system work better by having more open lines of
communication, and by trying to build better expectations and relationships between commissioners in
Speaking as a member of the CMC faculty, do

you think the relationship between town and
gown is fractured?
I dont know if I would call it a fracture as much as
it may be something of a vacuum. Im not running to
represent the Colleges, but I do have a perspective as
an alumnus of CMC and as someone who now
teaches in Claremont. I have a really good sense of
whats happening with the gown and whats happening in the town. When questions of the Colleges
come before the council, I oftentimes would have to
recuse myself, but that doesnt mean I cant be someone who helps build and fill that vacuum with more
communication.
I dont know that its fractured, but I do think it
could be improved. I think there are tremendous resources in the Village and throughout Claremont for
students in terms of lifestyle, volunteering and thinking about a way they can give back to the community. Claremont is a wonderful and welcoming place
for them. In terms of faculty, a lot of us live here and
have a lot invested in this community. Im ready to
help bridge that gap in finding ways that the city and
the Colleges can work more constructively and more
deeply together. I think you cant have Claremont
without the Colleges.
Do you think the city should do more in the
realm of sustainability and, if so, can you offer
some examples?
Theres always room for improvement, and I think
this is one way in which citizens really have led and
continue to lead. I think theres a lot that the council
can learn from groups like Sustainable Claremont.
Ive seen Sustainable Claremont give the council really good input on how we locally can improve the
way in which we can be a more sustainable place.
Last night there was a very complex presentation
about a new insect that is invading trees Claremont
[the Shot-Hole Borer], and one of the interesting
ideas brought up was a way in which you could take
essentially waste from contaminated trees and turn it
into a useable mulch. Thats something that was
brought by citizens. I think continuing to encourage
and to open those lines of communication between
the council and citizens on how we can improve our
sustainability is essential.
If you had a magic wand, what would you
change about Claremont?
I would change voter turnout. One disappointment
that Ive had about Claremont politicsand another
reason why I decided to runis the last council election was cancelled, and the council election before
that had a turnout of 18 percent. I would love to
wave a magic wand to get more people interested in
returning their ballots and more involved in thinking
about Claremont politics. In my small way in this
particular election, I would like to contribute to that
turnout in trying to connect citizens with whats happening politically.

Cat in a box
by Debbie Carini
f you were a cat, and had the choice between napping on virtually any piece
of upholstered furniture in a warm,
cozy home and sleeping outside in a cardboard box, which do you think youd
choose?
Im guessing most peopleand catswould say the

upholstery. Perfect for kneading, maybe a couple of
scratches.
Thats why Im perplexed by my daughters cat,
Edgar.
Edgar likes to sleep outside in a cardboard box, turned
on its side. Its like a little lean-to on the back patio
from which he can watch the yard and stalk his archnemeses, the squirrels.
And for some reason, that vaguely hurts my feelings.
On these recent cold and wet days, Ive pleaded,
come inside! Cmon, its cold out there, to no avail.
On an average night in the United States, the ASPCA
estimates that there are approximately 70 million cats
(just cats!) living on the streetsIm guessing
69,999,999 not by choice.
My daughter adopted Edgar at a shelter in New York
Cityactually she went to the ASPCA with a friend
who was looking to adopt a kitten, but she started playing with Edgar, a ginger tabby. When the attendant
opened the cage, Edgar jumped right into her lap. One
thing led to another and, before she knew it, she had a
cat. Edgar and my daughter have since come to live with
us and though he was once a city cat, confined to a
small, studio apartment, he now enjoys the free-range

opportunities of the suburbs.
Ive seen him lolling on the neighbors front porch,
prowling the alley and swigging water from the indentation of a plastic chair in the yard. In his travels, hes
been side-swiped by a car, and possibly attacked by a
coyote, and still we cant get him to appreciate the comforts of a 1925 French Provencal with incredibly comfy,
forced-air heat.
And then theres the living in a box thing.
When I was a little girl, one of my favorite books was
The Boxcar Children by Gertrude C. Warner, which
tells the story of four abandoned children who live in a
railroad boxcar. Even though their lives are hard, they
have each other and an independence from adults that
seemed very appealing. Whenever my parents were
bothering me with rules about bedtime, or eating vegetables, I dreamed of the boxcar life with my sister. I
was pretty sure we could find some sort of part-time jobs
that would sustain our simple lives of buying candy at 7Eleven, attending matinee movie and, once a year, chartering a bicycle-built-for-two from the local rental
facility.
Edgar simply has that same wanderlust and he lurks
about with the tenacity of a postal worker, to paraphrase,
through rain or snow or heat or gloom. Edgars inner

lion stalks the yard. And his box, just large enough to
have once held a case of beer, is his lair. But on these
cold January days, I want him to be inside, curled beside
me on the couch as we watch reruns of Law and Order.
Ive tried hard to help him think outside-the-box. And
guess what? When he comes inside, he has found a place
he likes to cozy-up: the cold, damp bathroom sink.
When Disney is ready for a remake, Edgar is ready to be
That Darn Cat!
New Years Resolutions, a humble suggestion

by Anwer Khan
very year at the beginning we reflect on our

lives and make some
pledges for ourselves to improve upon during the year.
Losing weight, quitting smoking or

drinking and so on are some of the common things we intend to carry out in the
New Year.
Adopting some positive traits is another set of resolutions one can make, as
I believe that engaging in those traits
will somehow remove some of the oddities we have in our traits.
There is a famous saying in the Scriptures that adopting virtues will fade
Inter-Faithfully SPEAKING
away the vices. Here are some resolutions which, when adopted, would carry
a lasting impact all over our society.
Make a serious and enthusiastic
vow to create peace at your home by resolving all differences once for all. Take
the initial first step towards it.
Master it for 30 days, then extend a
loving hand to your next door neighbor
by breaking a bread or simply sipping
coffee together. Share your best dimmer
meals with your neighbor at least three
to four times a month.
Practice this for 60 days. Create a
neighborhood watch or some activity together at least once a month. Take two
neighbors and visit the sick in your
neighborhood with flowers or just small
cards.
Search elderly in your neighborhood
and bring their groceries with yours
when possible.
Prepare 15 to 20 sandwiches and
take four neighbors on any weekend and
distribute to the homeless in Pomona or
Claremont.
Share mourning with some deceased in your neighborhood.
Strength of the family is the backbone

of our social life; the stronger our bonds
of kinship, the stronger would be the
fabric of our society. Let us all make
every attempt to make our homes a vivid
scene of heaven on earth. May God enable us all to achieve this modest resolution. All these activities will make you a
new personality. Through God we may
achieve these traits and enjoy its blessings.
Incidentally there exists no Divine religion that does not advocate the family
ties of strong brotherhood, the names of
these faiths may be different but the core
teachings are similar. Let us delve on our
commonalities and gain strength from
each other.
Bill Vaskis
Dear Editor:
I was shocked to see the passing of Bill
Vaskis. What a wonderful man!
Bill audited many of our courses in art
history at Pomona College over the years.
He was well-known to our department
and to many others in the Claremont Colleges.
Bills enthusiasm for learning was infectious; he was always working on a
project or planning to travel and he added
immeasurably to classroom discussion,
even as a community auditor.
Many great interactions between our
students and community members resulted and Bill was always there with a
smile and twinkle in his eye.
Bill, I will miss you dearly!

A remembrance
Dear Editor:
Music was playing at the farmers market as I made my way from the vegetable
stand to the hummus guy to the corner
coffee house, where an elderly man sat
playing an electric piano.
I neared the space where the Prison Library Project usually reserved its booth.
Bill Vaskis was a volunteer at the bookstore. Today, as if in mourning, the space
was empty. It was the day after New Year.
The streets were wet from last nights
rain and the morning was cold. A thin
crowd wandered from tent to tent. The
musica slow, lilting melodyinfused
the air with yearning. I stood at the corner
listening, a mail box and a garbage can
standing between myself and the pianist.

READERS COMMENTS
Id gone to the market after mass. I

wanted to say Bills name silently when
the priest paused to remember those who
had passed. A chill ran up and down my
spine, as if to signal his presence.
The hummus guy, usually upbeat and
staccato-voiced, took my money quietly.
I hope 2017 is better than 2016, he confided, his eyes soft. Something in his look
made me believe he was talking about the
election: hes of Afghan decent and understandably concerned. The music was
getting to everyone.
Standing at the corner I asked myself, is
it a mail box or a garbage can for us? Our
lives, I mean. Are we destined for some
other purpose, maybe higher or lower,
maybe heaven or hellbut intact? Are we
postcards on our path to the mailbox?
Or do we argue and love and screw and
succeed and fail only to be tossed into a
cosmic dust bin with every nameless empire and forgotten civilization thats gone
before us?
Please, let it be a mailbox, I thought.
Tell me all this means something: the
thousands of students Bill taught, the way
I can remember his face clearly, all the
things I could have done had I really
tried. Tell me it actually matters.
The song filled the streets descending
to a close. I approached the old pianist,
dropping a tip in his bucket. He asked if
I had a request.
A friend passed. Play something for
him, I should have said, but didnt. The
last piece suited the occasion perfectly. It
couldnt be improved. I complimented
him. Its a nocturne by Chopin, he said,
then he gave me a short history lesson.
Chopin wrote over 200 pieces, most of
them too complex, scattered all over the
place. He waved his long fingers in the
air. He wrote only 18 nocturnes, but
theyre simple and beautiful...the only
part of his work that moves me. I made a
project out of it and learned all 18.
I glanced at his music: worn, laminated
pages with columns of song titles written
by hand. No notes. All by memory.
Why waste time with things that have
no interest when you can spend your time
on things that are meaningful? he asked.
Maybe that was the choice. Bill took

his message elsewhere. Jeff Droubay
Upland
Philistines at the gate

Dear Editor:
Why hasnt Pomona College committed to spending one percent for public art
and artisanry in its proposed new art museum building, which is sited to be a gateway between college and community?
Others have already criticized the
1950s shopping center style, the failure to
go beyond tokenism in community programming, the flawed animation strategy
(unlike the Wellesley College museum
with its cinema/caf). But lets look at the
fundamental issue of supporting living
artists in an art museum.What could be a
more authentic demonstration than employing living artists and artisans in an
area that is rich with their work? They
should be commissioned to craft everything from bicycle racks to stair risers,
restroom murals and lighting fixtures.
There is the splendid precedent of the
Santa Barbara Court House building. According to Jack Becker, founder of Forecast Public Art, 28 US states and
territories have percent for art programs, and there are 350 public art programs in the US.
Civilized Claremont has a city policy
for mixed-use developments of a certain
scale, but no requirement that college
master plans include public art. Seattle
and the surrounding Kings County and
the University of Oregon have been particular leaders on the west coast.
The performing arts center in Eugene,
Oregon is a good example, with tile portraits in the restrooms. Instead, Pomona
talks about the old-fashioned plop art of
the 1970ssurrounding the building.
A richly decorated and refined building could attract the patrons that Pomona
desperately needs for the museum and
has failed to develop under David Oxtoby, president of Pomona College, and
Kathleen Howe, director of the Pomona
Art Museum.
If the college wants to vault to artistic
greatness, it should build a comfortable

place that attracts a broad conversation

with artists and patrons across the region.
Remember the legendary and innovative
A. Everett Chick Austin, Jr., director of
the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford,
Connecticut from 1927 to 1944? He and
his wife, Helen, attracted leaders of the
international art world to Hartford, including Salvador Dal, Alexander Calder,
Gertrude Stein, George Balanchine, Le
Corbusier, Cecil Beaton, Martha Graham,
Agnes de Mille, Aaron Copland and Virgil Thomson.
Pomonas recent fundraising campaign
Daring Minds, was phenomenally successful. Let Pomona show a little daring
now and convene todays artistic forces
of similar stature at the museum.
But then, this requires a level of social
confidence that Pomona apparently doesnt possess. This is all about an edifice
complex that builds the resumes of current administrators rather than a thoughtful appreciation of the dynamic of
creating great space for complex uses and
real patronage.
Citizen legal action may be necessary
unless and until rich, self-funding
Pomona, with its rubber stamp board
comes to its artistic senses. Citizens unite.
This indignant writer even offered to pay
for part of the cost of the one percent program, but the college administrators just
want to get it done on their watch.
This is apparently one definition of
white collar crime, where the best ideas
are sacrificed to expedience and the city
administration kowtows before a stubborn and belligerent college that hasnt
elevated its vision over a three-year conversation.

The National Register of Historic Places

by John Neiuber
ne cannot walk or drive very far

within the city without encountering historic buildings or places.
From the Packing House and Harvard
Square in the Village, to Little Bridges and
the Huntley Bookstore at the Claremont
Colleges, one encounters iconic buildings
and settings at every turn.
Some are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to our history; some are associated
with the lives of significant people in our past; some embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or
method of construction or represent the work of a master architect or are of artistic value; and some may yield
information important to our history.
Meeting one or more of the above criteria is what defines a building or place as significant, and therefore historic. The criteria was authorized in 1966 by the National
Historic Preservation Act, which established the National
Register of Historic Places, that is administered by the
National Park Service and is the official list of the Nations historic places.
It is the responsibility of the National Park Service to
evaluate the eligibility of properties proposed for addition to the National Register. Each State Historic Preservation Office reviews NR nominations prior to
forwarding them for National Register consideration.
That National Park Service evaluates both individual
properties and entire districts for inclusion on the National Register. The NR lists tens of thousands of individual properties and thousands of historic districts.
Districts are established because the collection of buildings within their boundaries have a significance that is
greater than that of all of the individual properties.
A NR district may recognize a thematic context for a
district. For example, it could be a Craftsman residential
neighborhood like Bungalow Heaven in Pasadena, or it
could be a warehouse district of a certain era, or a commercial center, much like the Claremont Village. Properties within the district are then identified as either
contributing or noncontributing to the district.
Many will be surprised to hear that an NR property or
district actually offers little real protection for the historic
resources. Protection is afforded only to an NR property

or district that is supported by federal funds or involves
a federal agency. Protection of historic resources usually
falls to the city in which the assets are located. Protections are typically afforded local and national register
properties through such vehicles as preservation ordinances, design guidelines and architectural reviews,
which are oftentimes adopted by cities with inventories
of historic resources.
There are also financial benefits that come with NR
listing. Almost all local, state or national charitable foundation grants for preservation activities require the property be listed individually on the National Register or, if
in an NR district, that it be a contributing property.
There are seven Claremont properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places. There are more properties per capita in Claremont that any surrounding
cityapproximately one property for every 5,000 residents. Ontario, with a population of 164,000, has four
properties on the register or one for every 41,000 residents. Pomona has 11 properties on the register or one
for every 13,500 residents. Upland has four properties on
the register or one for every approximately 18,000 residents. La Verne has two properties or one for every
15,000. Montclair has no properties on the register.
The seven properties in Claremont are:
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad Station:
Built in 1927, it was placed on the NR in 1982. This
Spanish Colonial Revival building is now home to the
Claremont Museum of Art.
Padua Hills Theatre: Built in 1930, it achieved National Register designation in 1998. It was designed by
prominent architects Marston & Maybury.
Pitzer House: Located at Towne and Baseline, it was
built in 1912, and was placed on the NR in 1986. Noted
architectural historian, Robert Winter called it the finest
stone house in all of southern California.
Russian Village District: Begun in 1923, the district

achieved NR status in 1978. This NR District on south
Mills, consists of 15 folk architecture homes.
Scripps College Historic District: Built between 1926
and 1939, the ten major academic and residential structures, designed by Gordon Kaufmann, were added to the
NR in 1984.
Intercultural Housing District: Built beginning in
1947, and added to the NR in 2015, the cultural and historic significance of the District is derived from its role in
Latino civil rights and anti-segregation movements in
Claremont.
Helen Goodwin Renwick House: Constructed in 1900,
and placed on the NR in 2016, the home is significant
because of the contributions of Helen Renwick to the
greater community.
What is eye-opening about the NR list for Claremont
is that it does not include some of the most iconic buildings and districts in the city. Sumner House? No. Bridges
Auditorium? No. Little Bridges? No. College Avenue?
No. Garrison Theater, Millard Sheets Studio, Pomona
First Federal Bank (US Bank), Huntley Bookstore and
the Post Office? All no.
Why preserve buildings, places and neighborhoods?
Preservation is environmentally responsible. As is often
stated, the greenest building is the one that is already
built. The embodied energy in historic buildings cannot
be replaced by new construction. It is lost and causes the
use of even more natural resources to build new. Preservation is also good for the local economy. Adaptive reuse
creates more jobs and uses fewer materials. Tourists are
attracted to preserved downtowns and neighborhoods,
thereby increasing the financial resources for businesses
and city government alike.
However, one of the simplest reasons is because historic buildings are good to look at. They appeal to us
speak to us, if you will. Different and varied styles built
over a period of time endow neighborhoods with variety, beauty, texture and detail that make them unique.
Preservation helps to showcase a common history and
therefore, a common language that often transcends differing politics and thought. Preservation grounds us and
provides context for our lives and for our children, because it reminds us of where we have been and informs
the future.
Whats ahead for Claremonts water future?

by Mayor Sam Pedroza
n December 9, 2016,
Superior Court Judge
Richard Fruin ruled
against the city of Claremont in
its eminent domain case to acquire the Claremont water system
from Golden State Water. The decision came after six weeks of trial and a detailed objection brief
from the city.
While the city is disappointed in the decision, we knew this was a complex and
groundbreaking case not without risk. So
where does that leave us today?
Speculation, rumors and flat out untruths
have been circulating in the community. Recently, a letter to the editor was published
in the COURIER, which contained misinformation and misstatements.
First, let me say that no decision has been
made on whether the city will appeal the
judges decision. The decision to appeal
needs to be carefully considered.
The city council will hold a special city
council meeting on Tuesday, January 31 at
6 p.m. to discuss the citys options for the
future including detail about the appeal
process, a timeline for the process and the
financial impact of pursuing an appeal. This
meeting is an opportunity for our residents
VIEWPOINT
to share their opinions with the council.
Careful consideration will be given to the
opinions of the community, as the council
has done for the last four years.
What critics of the water acquisition effort fail to acknowledge is that the council made the decision to pursue eminent domain action after an overwhelming majority
(71 percent) of Claremont voters voted to
fund the acquisition. The decision was made
after numerous public meetings were held
with hundreds of residents voicing opinions,
the vast majority expressing their support
for public ownership of the system.
The city shared information on the fiscal impacts of the acquisition with the public, including the information in city publications and direct mailers. The council and
staff did not promise reduced rates, as some
have asserted. We have always maintained that rates would be stabilized under
city-ownership and break even points
would be achieved over time, based on the
purchase price.
To imply these decisions were made in
secret or that the city set out to mislead the
public is contradicted by the many hours
of public discussion, hundreds of citizen letters and comments and the extensive cov-
erage by local media like the COURIER.

Critics accusing the council of misleading the public have vastly underestimated the intelligence of our residents, by
assuming they did not understand the financial impacts of taking over ownership
of the water system. I believe our residents
made an informed decision, based on the
benefits of public ownership over ownership by a for-profit company.
To many, the cost of the acquisition was
offset by the benefit of local control of our
rates and ability to make decisions on the
systems infrastructure, management and
improvements. Every decision the council has made throughout this long process
was made after public discourse and in public meetings.
Let me also dispel the rumor that this effort to acquire the water system is bankrupting the city and bringing us to the brink
of insolvency. The citys finances are
healthy and we continue to maintain a 31
percent general reserve fund.
To date, the city has spent approximately
$6.3 million in expenses related to the acquisition effort. This total includes legal
fees, consultant fees and expenses related
to the acquisition litigation, as well as defending other lawsuits brought on by
Golden State Water Company. The city total also includes the cost of studies, appraisals, public meetings, the environmental impact report and responding to
public inquiries on the proposed acquisition.

These costs may be reimbursed through
the revenue bond if the city wins the case
on appeal. Should the city abandon its efforts to acquire the system and not seek an
appeal, the city will be responsible for paying Golden State Waters legal cost for the
eminent domain trial.
Golden State Water has submitted paperwork alleging litigation expenses in excess of $7.54 million. The city has a financial consultant reviewing these expenses for accuracy, and will file objections
with the court over any disputed expenses. The city has identified several options
for funding these expenses that would not
impact city services. Staff will present this
information at the special meeting on January 31.
Critics and supporters alike will agree
that now is a turning point in the future of
our water system acquisition efforts. In order for the council to make a decision that
reflects informed judgement and the will
of the people, we need your input.
If you cannot attend the special meeting
on January 31 at 6 p.m., please share your
opinion by emailing the city at [email protected]. To read the court
documents and the citys objection brief,
please visit the citys website at claremontca.org.
Fundraiser commences for Village Dance Arts

director to pay for medical treatment
Toni Carrin, director of Village Dance
Arts, is in urgent need of medical treatment for which her insurance does not
provide coverage. She has developed
Richters Disease and has been accepted
for treatment in a clinical trial at MD Anderson in Houston, Texas.
Her daughter Gabriela Carrin shared
that her mothers doctors in California and
Texas are quite optimistic this trial can prevent the devastating progression of this disease. However, without financial support
she cannot receive treatment. Gabriela explained that MD Anderson will not pro-
ceed without receiving $350,000 up front.

While we are experiencing considerable frustration in the face of the exorbitant costs of this treatment, we are
confident that Toni has an extraordinary
following of students, friends and family
who are ready and willing to cooperate,
Gabriela said. All contributions will go
towards defraying these medical costs.
Together, we can assist Toni to recover
and return to our community of beautiful
dancers, her daughter shared.

Gregory Douglas Gusse

Photographer, builder, adventurer
Gregory Douglas Gusse, a former
Claremont resident who kept lifelong
local ties, died January 5, 2017 at his
home in Palmer, Alaska after a fiveyear journey with cancer. He was 65.
He was born April 7, 1952 in Cincinnati, Ohio to Donald William Gusse
and Mona Angela (Mastrapaolo)
Gusse. His family moved to Claremont
in 1966 and in 1967 he enrolled in
Claremont High School. Gregory was
in a pilot program where he took
courses simultaneously at Pomona College, where he studied computer science and programming, and at CHS
where he busied himself with classes in
comparative religion, philosophy and
ceramics.
Through a Pomona College classmate, he became interested in radio,
working at KSPC and then, after receiving a radio engineering license,
KPPC in Pasadena. He also made a
foray into print media, working as a
driver for the Claremont COURIER
newspaper and landing a gig at Hole
Publishing, focusing on the photo printing process.
After graduating from CHS in 1969,
Mr. Gusse was accepted to CalTech on
a physics scholarship. He didnt like the
atmosphere, though, so he moved to
Santa Cruz after only a day at the
school. While in the Central Coast, he
audited a photography class at Cabrillo
Junior College and picked peas in Watsonville. He decided to pursue photography further and spent the end of
1969, living in cars and often hitchhiking, as he captured winter scenes
1200 in allthroughout the country,
from Los Angeles to Portsmouth, New
Hampshire and from Baltimore to Mt.
Shasta.
He returned to Claremont in 1970,
washing dishes at Pitzer College before
returning to his COURIER and Hole
Publishing posts in 1971. He also
worked as a driver and assistant to
Richard Chase. Mr. Gusse accompanied the folklorist on grade school tours
around the state and performed with
Mr. Chases English country dance
group. In his free time, he focused on
writing, with he and a friend producing
a 300-page novel using a stream-ofconsciousness technique.
He next moved to New Mexico
where he lived through 1975, much of
the time in the unincorporated community of Embudo, whose population currently rests at 354. In 1972, Mr. Gusse
got a job driving the fire bus for the
South West Forest Fire Fighters, transporting the first responders to 180 fires
as well as other emergencies. At the
same time, he served as a bus driver for
the Espaola School District.

Never one to sit still, Mr. Gusse also
worked as a silversmith and jewelry designer at Great River Crafts and, in
1972 and 1973, hired on with local
rancher Harold Law. I did the jobs that
a cowboy does; mended fence, wrangled doggies, branded and castrated,
but, mostly I just rode, and sang, and
thought, Mr. Gusse explained in a colorful online resume.
In 1976 he moved to New York,
planning to study architecture at
Cooper Union. After noticing the number of architects with degrees who were
unemployed or trapped in boring
jobsand the number of unlicensed architects making a nice livinghe decided to make his own way. He and a
friend opened a cabinet shop called
Greene Street Cabinetmakers and he
later launched a design-build company
with two partners, Gusse, Crettier and
Smozcynski.
He was soon commissioned to design and display furnishing for the new
Makers Gallery on Spring Street. In
1979, Mr. Gusse and his friend Craig
Murray formed a design company
called Art Resources. They were commissioned to design and build a new
gift shop for the Cathedral of St. John
the Divine. Gregory was subsequently
appointed the cathedrals architect-inresidence and designed the VanceKennedy Peace Library. He managed a
job-training program with the Theater
for the Forgotten and obtained a faculty
position at Pratt Institute. During his
New York years, Mr. Gusse also designed many art exhibitions.
From 1976 through August 1978,
Mr. Gusse returned to the classroom,
auditing courses in cultural anthropology and feminist studies at the New
School. He completed all of his coursework for a masters degree and was offered it with the proviso that he pay for
his schooling. He passed.
Mr. Gusse got married and, with the

birth of his first son Walker, decided to
slow the pace of his life a bit. He
bought a farmstead in the town of
Nichols in upstate New York and he
and his wife welcomed a second son,
Travis. As he tells it in his resume,
1982 through 1984 were primarily
spent with my sons, raising cattle and
making hay. Soon, however, he had
returned to designing and building
homes along the coast of Massachusetts
and Rhode Island, this time actually licensed as a construction manager with
a crew of 25. He opened a support office in Owego, The Owego Design
Center for the interiors, and a shop in
partnership in New York.
In 2000, Mr. Gusse traveled to
Alaska to spend time with Walker, now
a pilot with the National Park Service.
He met and fell in love with Julie Hopkins, who also worked with the NPS,
and on January 8, 2003 they were married.
While he continued visiting friends
in Claremont and traveling the United
States, photographing sights like the
countrys national parks, Gregory became a permanent denizen of The Last
Frontier. He and Julie settled in Palmer,
a scenic and homey city where they
could watch visitors like moose and elk
from their deck. Mr. Gusse continued
his interest in writing, working on novels, short stories and poems and contributing stories and photographs to the
Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman. He also
kept a blog called Alaska Times.
Music was a lifelong passion for
Gregory and he and Julie performed in
an ensemble called The Feral Cats, he
on guitar and she on dulcimer. Mr.
Gusse also threw himself into the local
art scene, opening a gallery and framing shop called Mad Matters. He served
on the Palmer Arts Council, helping
launch a monthly Art Walk, and was on
the board of the Palmer Museum of
History and Art. He also spent hours
taking photographs of the wildlife,
landscape and cultural history of
Alaska.
One of the finest examples of Mr.
Gusses photography, a shot of a flock
of snow geese flying over Mt. Palmer,
is in the Palmer Museums permanent
collection. Examples of his photography can be viewed on his website Arctic-Exposure.com.
In 2013, Mr. Gusse was diagnosed
with stage 4 bladder and prostate cancer. He had traveled far and wide but he
returned to southern California for
some months while undergoing treatment. During this time, he stayed with
friends in Claremont, a full-circle expe-

CHS boys muscle their way to first league win
laremont High School boys basketball had no problem handling

the South Hills Huskies on Tuesday, maintaining a consistent lead on their
way to an 85-70 victory in the Palomares
League opening game.
South Hills did put up an impressive fight, and kept
the Pack on their toes including a last-gasp run when
the Huskies nailed three 3-pointers in the last two
minutes. However, in the end Claremont was too
much for the Huskies.
CHS used their deep bench strategically throughout
the game. The Pack not only had
SPORTING
home court advantage, they are simLIFE
ply bigger. Pack players average 6
feet, 3 inches to the Huskies 6 feet even, and had 11
seniors who have been playing together for four years.
The Packs size advantage was clear watching center senior Tyler Risher nearly run over the Huskies
defense on his way to the net. At 6 feet, 7 inches,
Risher towered over the opposition, pulling in 12 reboundsmore than any other player. He also had
four fouls as he tangled with the Huskies Nico
Ramos most of the game.
The unofficial player of the game award goes to
senior Kyle Scalmanini, who delivered several clutch
plays, setting the momentum on his way to an impressive 26 points. Overall, the Pack did a much better job setting up simple two-point plays than they
have in previous seasons, which made all the difference in the final score.
Claremont looked smooth and confident, was aggressive on the boards and consistently pulled in both
defensive and offensive rebounds. The boys did give
up 10 turnovers, in part due to the fast-passing game.
Claremont outscored the Huskies in the first three
quarters, 18-12, 18-12 and 22-19, but South Hills
came within two points of tying the score twice (the
Pack did extend their lead to 21 points in the fourth
quarter.) The key to the Huskies tenacity was the
hustle of a few players, including sophomore Damon
Reygadas and senior Dalton Clevenger. Senior Jason
Rodriguez was also red-hot from the free-throw line.
With 3:31 left in the game, and up by 21 points,
Coach Stan Tolliver pulled his starters, giving some
court time to up-and-coming players. Junior Jacob
Henry, freshman Jacob Lopez and sophomore

League. On Friday, the boys will take on Bonita,
which also has a very good team this year.
Matthew Dircks were cool under pressure, nailing

one free throw after another and keeping the Huskies
at bay.
We have had a good start, obviously. This is the
most important part of the season, so its always good
to get a win to start off league, said Coach Tolliver
after the game. Weve got 11 seniors, so we are senior-dominant this yeara lot of those young guys
have finally grown up. Theyve been around the
block a few times and are starting to understand the
process a bit better.
With the win Claremont now has a 13-5 overall
record, edging out Bonita for the top spot in Palomares League standings. The Pack will face the
Bearcats in La Verne on Friday, which will give both
teams an opportunity to prove they deserve the league
title.

El Ranchero: an oasis of affordable Mexican specialties
he businesses along Foothill Boulevard have seen some turnover in recent years, but dont expect El
Ranchero to go anywhere soon.
At this point, theres no retirement, owner Jose
Haro, 49, said. My plan is to stay here as long as I can.
This is good news for fans of the restaurant, which
for more than 20 years has provided Claremont with an oasis of Claremont
affordable Mexican food and
om
considering the selection of more
than 60 tequilasa veritable temop
ple of distilled agave nectar.
Mr. Haro, who personally favors Don Julio tequila, has been known to raise a glass
to his mentor Nick Montoya, a former Claremont restaurateur who saw his potential.
Mr. Haro grew up on a farm in a small town called El
Durazno (the peach), in Zacatecas, Mexico. He had
two older brothers who had immigrated to the United
States and were living in southern California. They
went back to Mexico, and they were very dressy people
with a lot of money. I was wanting to do that, he said.
At age 16, Mr. Haro left for the United States where
he was able to locate his brothers, one of whom had settled in Pomona. He landed his first job as a dishwasher
at the Claremont smorgasbord Griswolds. Soon, he was
preparing omelettes at the buffet.
He next got a job at Don Salsa. One of three Mexican
restaurants owned by Mr. Montoya, it was located in the
Old School House, in the spot most recently occupied by
Casa de Salsa. After a few years, Mr. Montoya promoted
Mr. Haro, then 24, to head cook. He was determined to
impress his authority on a kitchen full of skeptical chefs.
You dont play with them. Dont let them give you
a nickname, he said. Respect is important. Cooks have
nicknames, but you call them by their real names. After
three months, everything was straightened out.
Mr. Haro was next promoted to general manager, but
his boss encouraged him to aim higher. Every Monday
morning, hed mention to me, Youve got to have your
own restaurant, and itd better be quick, he recalled.
Don Salsa closed its doors in 1994, but Mr. Haro kept
in touch with his old boss. When a Foothill Boulevard
property came up for lease, Mr. Montoya assured the
owner that any restaurant run by Mr. Haro would be a
success.
Mr. Haro took out a loan on his house and maxed out
his credit cards, then jumped into the restaurant business. People knew me from Don Salsa, so we made
money from the first time I opened the doors. Everyone
followed me, he said.
What they found was home-style cooking made from
scratch, much of it inspired by Mr. Haros mother Pascuala. Every single day she was making beans and rice,
chicken enchiladasshe cooked everything, he said.
A colorful, homey atmosphere adds to the ambiance.
There are crayon-bright walls, wall-hung sombreros and
serapes and art including a painting of a kneeling
woman who, hard at work pressing tortillas, has allowed
one blouse strap to slide carelessly off her shoulder.
The menu is characterized by large portions and good
taste. Diners start with chips and salsa, both green and
red, then select typical Mexican comfort foodtacos,
enchiladas and the likeseafood selections or regional
specialties. One of these, Carne con Salsa Zacatecas,
is a tribute to Mr. Haros home state.
Mr. Haro is a numbers guy. He notes that the restaurant serves about 4,500 customers a week and that, between students, professors and staff, about 30 percent of
his business comes from the Claremont Colleges. He is
proud to report that his kitchen staff prepares 250 chile
rellenos every other day. So in 2006, he couldnt help
but notice that business had dropped a bit.
We were having a very slow Wednesday, so I
thought Id better do something drastic, he said.

El Ranchero owner Jose Haro discusses the history of his restaurant at the eaterys Foothill Boulevard location. Mr. Haro has worked in the restaurant business most of his career and opened El Ranchero in 1996.
Below, Gregorio Ruan stirs a pot of shredded beef as the kitchen staff gets ready for the lunch crowd. The
cooks at El Ranchero arrive a 7 a.m. every day to get food ready for the 11:30 a.m. opening time.
He introduced 99-cent margaritas on Wednesdays and

by the second week, there was a line of people waiting to
get in the restaurant. Margaritas, blended or on the rocks,
remain one of El Rancheros biggest draws. If you want
the best price, visit the restaurant Monday through Thursday from 4 to 8 p.m. when margaritas are $1.49, or on
Friday from 3 to 6 p.m. when they cost $1.99.
The restaurant business has been good to Mr. Haro.
He and his wife Leticia have a home in Upland, and his
father, 83, lives with them. They also have access to a
top-notch school district. His daughter Brenda, 22, is a
Claremont High School graduate and his 13-year-old
son Joseph is at El Roble.
Like all business owners, however, he works long
hours.
Mr. Haro puts in 12- to 14-hour days and only takes

a vacation every other year. He goes back to Mexico
then, spending a few days with family back in El Durazno before heading to Puerta Vallarta. Its a place
everyone needs to visit, he said of the coastal resort
city.
On a rare day off, Mr. Haro might travel to Tijuana to
see mariachis perform or take in a Dodgers game. His
other great passion, besides baseball, is one he doesnt
have to leave the job for. Hes a news junkie, with CNN
playing on the big screen over the bar nearly as often as
sports.
What does he think of the current political scene,
given that President elect Trump is widely perceived as
anti-immigration? Im not terrified by him, but Im terrified of his mouth, Mr. Haro laughed.
Mr. Haro has thrived with El Ranchero, but he wants
his daughter, who is majoring in business administration at Cal Poly Pomona, to know the truth about the
restaurant business.
I tell her its a very hard life. You have to give all
your hours and all your heart. Its like youre married to
your restaurant, he said. If you dont like working in
a restaurant, you cant do it.
El Ranchero is located at 984 W Foothill Blvd. in
Claremont. For information, call (909) 624-8824 or visit

If its not El Nio...what is it?
14
by Gary London for the COURIER
fter years of punishing statewide

drought, copious amounts of rain and
snow are now blanketing California,
from Los Angeles and San Diego to the far
northern reaches of the Golden State.
What had been unsuccessfully predicted for the past two
winters is now in full swing across not
only California, but other areas of the
WEATHER
western US as well. Of much interest to
scientists and weather enthusiasts alike is what appears
to be a notable contradiction between what is occurring
in the atmosphere presently and what sea surface temperature data had led scientists to predict this winter.
Earlier predictions for this winter, based on sea temperature trends in the equatorial Pacific had strongly suggested a prevailing La Nia or generally dry winter
weather pattern for California. This is based on sustained
colder than water temperatures west of equatorial South
America. In hindsight, the past two winters had been predicted to be strong El Nio events, based on unusually
warm oceanic temperatures in this same oceanic region.
The term Godzilla El Nio had been quoted on numerous occasions by scientists studying oceanic trends
along the equator west of South America just last winter.
For unknown reasons, this potentially catastrophic event
failed to materialize as predicted...seemingly until now.
While scientists are not yet dubbing our current
weather pattern El Nio, those who are familiar with
upper-level winds and pressure patterns will testify as to
the uncannily strong resemblance between the present upper atmospheric flow configuration and that of the great
historic El Nio events in the late 1970s and early 80s,
most specifically 1982, the strongest El Nio on record.
VIEWPOINT
The scientific connection between sea surface temperature abnormalities and upper level wind patterns began to be investigated and understood back in the mid
1970s through the work of the late Dr. Jerome Namias of
the Scripps Institute of Oceanography near San Diego.
But the most interesting aspect of what is occurring
presently statewide is that, while the atmosphere is
screaming El Nio loud and clear, the equatorial Pacific
continues to be colder than normal. It seems to defy explanation as to why storm after storm continue to follow
a southerly track, with the two principle jet streams merging into one.
Only in the strongest El Nio events do the polar and
subtropical jet streams join forces to pummel California,
as they are doing now. Normally they are separated by a
usually strong and present Pacific high pressure belt along
and off the west coast, one jet driving north, the other being diverted to the south. Not this year.
This zone of fair weather bearing conditions has been
split, one cell displaced to the south, the other pinched
off (blocked) into the far northern Gulf of Alaska. As a
result, a powerful, combined jet stream has a direct, unobstructed path clear across the Pacific from Asia, at low
latitudes directly into California.
While it will require at least one or more consecutive
El Nio type winters to officially end the California
drought, one could easily surmise that a significant dent
is currently being made in the long standing state-wide
drought.
Latest reports from northern California reservoirs indicate levels are rapidly rising due to the recent rains and
The front page headline, The sky is falling, from

the December 1, 1982 COURIER accompanies a photograph of a fallen tree atop a car near the corner of
Indian Hill and Arrow Highway. The storm thrashed
the Village area, with the newspaper reporting that
trees blew down all over downtown Claremont.
snow. Estimates place water increases at 350 billion gallons from recent storms.
According to the Mercury News in San Jose, In a typical year, one Northern Sierra eight-station index receives
50 inches of precipitation. As of Monday it wasalreadyat
40 inches199 percent of the historic average for this
dateand running slightly above 1982-83 and 1997-98,
both of which were marked by severe El Nio flooding.
Many state reservoirs are approaching their capacity and/or
above 100 percent of their historic average for this date.
In the short term, present forecast models suggest a temporary break from present wet conditions locally beginning Friday, but longer-term projections suggest moisture
laden-air from the Pacific could very well re-establish itself as a stable, ongoing force, especially during the two
usually wettest winter months of January and February
in California.

lecture at 6:30 p.m. Warmer ocean
temperatures prompted bleaching
events of the worlds coral reef communities, turning healthy colorful coral into
weakened ghostly white coral, which is
susceptible to disease and death, a
press release stated. These coral
bleaching events are visual warnings of
thermal stress caused by global climate
change and are referred to as the canary in the coal mine. Climate change
is a global ecosystem catastrophe and
not a political issue. Ms. TakayamaOgawas exhibition includes abstract
figurative white coral reef sculptures
and white lighting installations calling
for the reversal of global warming. Ms.
Takayama-Ogawa is a sixth-generation
potter and ceramic artist who studied
ceramics under Ralph Bacerra at the
Otis Art Institute, where she currently

teaches. She holds a bachelors from
UCLA in Geography and East Asian
Studies and a masters from Stanford

LEWIS AND CLARK GET

FUNDED On this day in 1803, President Thomas Jefferson convinced Congress to approve the secret funding of a
mission to explore the then mysterious
western lands. Mr. Jefferson hoped his
team of Lewis and Clark could find a
way for the new nation to grab a piece of
the burgeoning fur trade between Native
Americans and the British and, perhaps,
find a passage to the long-sought western ocean. Congress had just approved
the $9.3 million Louisiana Purchase, so
the relatively modest sum of $2,500 for
the secret mission was easier to procure
than it might have been prior. Lewis and
Clark departed for the West in the spring
of 1804. The rest, of course, is history.

of the property. You should also be aware that the lien
being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the
highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being
auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this

title insurance company, either of which may charge you
a fee for this information. If you consult either of these
resources, you should be aware that the same lender may
hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE Note: Because
the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale

If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you
should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien,
not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a
trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free
and clear ownership of the property. You should also be
aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior
lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are
or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to
the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive
clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding
liens that may exist on this property by contacting the
county recorders office or a title insurance company,
either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should
be aware that the same lender may hold more than one
mortgage or deed of trust on this property. NOTICE
OF TRUSTEE'S SALE Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed,
it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid
may be less than the total debt NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of
sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law
requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a
courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to
learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and,
if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale
of this property, you may call (866)-960-8299 or visit

LOS ANGELES, CA 91324 A.P.N.: 2729-011-058
The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for
any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. The sale will
be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed
or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the
note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust. The total
amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of
the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is:
$ 539,916.75. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidders sole and
exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies
paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall
have no further recourse. The beneficiary of the
Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure,
and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and
Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where
the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that
there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and
clear ownership of the property. You should also be
aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction,
you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens
senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can
receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged
to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorders office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee
for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender
