Dear Editor:
As a longtime subscriber and supporter
of the COURIER, and a Scripps alumna
and staff member at the college for many
years, I was somewhat disappointed to
read last Fridays article on the departure
of Scripps president Lori Bettison-Varga
for her new role as president of the Natural History Museum.
The article entitled, Scripps president
to leave college, helm Natural History
Museum starts out on a high note enumerating her achievements, but then veers
off in a different direction that is misleading, confusing and somewhat insulting.
The entire article could have benefitted
from a more thorough review by a good
editor.
It was a wonderful opportunity for the
COURIER to offer kudos to The Claremont Colleges consortium, and particularly to Scripps and Pitzer. The fact that
their presidents are so highly regarded
and have the academic credentials to be
selected to lead two of the most prestigious cultural institutions in Los Angeles
is quite a coup.
Instead, the final two paragraphs of the
article indicated that it represented a step
up for the Pitzer president, implying that
she is leaving a lesser job, in this case as
president of Pitzer. And the same is not
noted about the subject of the article, Ms.
Bettison-Varga, which seems to suggest
that her move is to a less prestigious institution. In both cases, Laura Skandera
Trombley and Lori Bettison-Varga are
moving on to wonderful, new opportunities and their successful tenures at Pitzer
and Scripps only added to their desirability for their new leadership roles.
The final paragraph of the article was
undoubtedly the most confusing and con-
ADVENTURES
voluted. Steven Koblik, who can certainly

speak for himself, was never the president
of Pitzer College, as the article implies.
He had a very successful tenure as dean
of faculty at Scripps College in the 1990s,
and moved on to a distinguished carer as
president of Reed College in Oregon before taking on the presidency of The
Huntington Library, Art Collections and
Botanical Gardens.

Clean air, clean water
Dear Editor:
Dirty air. Polluted water. Dependence
on foreign oil. Billions spent on utility
bills. Increasing child asthma rates, and
environment-related illnesses. This isnt
the California any of us want to live in.
But this will be the continued painful and
costly reality of the Inland Empire community unless two important pieces of
clean energy and pollution reduction legislation, SB32 and SB350, are passed this
summer.
In 2006, the state legislature set a goal
to reduce statewide greenhouse gas pollution to 1990 levels by 2020. Just under 10
years later, we are more than halfway toward meeting that goal. In the process,
California has attracted billions of dollars
in private investment in clean energy
businesses. We are also on track to cut billions in health costs. At the same time, energy has remained affordable for
consumers.
Now in 2015, SB32 and SB350, already passed in the state senate, would
continue Californias leadership in fighting
climate change, building a thriving economy and reducing health risks for families.
The League of Women Voters has been
at the forefront of the environmental protection movement for decades, consis-

City expenses add up in extended legal battle over water
hey say everything has a price.

Even though Golden State Water
Company contends that the Claremont system is not for sale, the company
hasnt stopped the city from figuring out
how much the system is worth.
To date, the city of Claremont has spent approximately $2.2 million on issues related
CITY
to the acquisition including two town
COUNCIL
hall meetings, three different offers to
Golden State due to updated appraisals and numerous
lawsuits, as well as rate increase protests involving the
CPUC and negotiation meetings with the water company itself.
On Tuesday night, the price tag went up again as
Claremont City Council appropriated an additional $1
million from the Water System Acquisition Reserve

for expenses related to the eminent domain case
against Golden State Water Company.
The funds, allocated from the 2013-14 General
Fund Surplus, were set aside by council in October
2014 to address water-related expenses, including additional legal and expert consultant fees.
Claremont residents did their part as well to fund
the purchase, taking to the polls last November with
71 percent of voters approving the issuance of water
revenue bonds to finance the takeover.
To foot costs incurred after the November 4 election, the city council adopted a reimbursement resolution in December 2014, which enables the city to be
reimbursed from the proceeds of revenue bonds issued
to finance the water system acquisition.
Since November 2014, approximately $300,000 in
reimbursable expenses have been incurred. When the
revenue bonds are sold, all reimbursable expenses, up

to a maximum of $5 million, will go back to the general fund, including the $1 million allocated by council
Tuesday night.
Until that time comes, the eminent domain case
against Golden State Water Company continues to
move forward, with the citys lawyers working to acquire the water system.
An amended complaintas ordered by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Richard Fruin on April 30
was filed June 27. Judge Fruin gave the city 60 days to
re-file its complaint after Golden State sought to dismiss the case, stating that the property description and
the citys pre-litigation offer to purchase the water system were inadequate.
A case management hearing is scheduled for August
27, 2015.

Claremont steps up with impressive water-use figures
rought-weary residents
received a bit of good
news at Tuesday nights
council meeting when City
Manager Tony Ramos announced that Claremont was
well on its way to meeting, and
exceeding, water conservation
reductions imposed by Governor Jerry Brown.
The governor issued an executive order

in April calling for a 25
percent reduction in water
WATER
usage for all of California.
Claremont was hit with a 32 percent reduction from water use in 2013.
Im very pleased to say that Claremont
reduced its water use by 40 percent in
May 2015 over water use in May 2013,
Mr. Ramos told city council.
If Claremont residents dont maintain
at least a 32 percent reduction from 2013,
they face the possibility of water allocations and surcharges for each household
from the citys water provider, Golden
State Water Company.
By restricting outdoor water use to
twice a week, cutting back on watering in
medians and parks and reducing indoor
water use, Claremont has thus far surpassed its goal. Mr. Ramos noted that the
real challenge will be in the upcoming
months as temperatures begin to climb.
These conservation measures will
need to extend through the hot summer
months when water use is at its highest,
he told the council.
According to figures released by the
State Water Resources Control Board earlier this month, Californians are taking the
unprecedented water reductions seriously
during this record drought.
Urban residents cut water consumption
by nearly 29 percent from May 2013,
more than double the 13.6 percent reduction reported for April.The savings were
calculated from data submitted by more
than 400 water suppliersincluding
Golden State Water Companywhich
must meet or exceed specified savings beginning in June or face potential fines.
Based on residential water consump-

The city of Claremont has cut watering public parks to two days a week, like La Puerta Sports Park shown here, in an effort
to reach the water conservation goals set by Sacramento. The city has posted signs throughout the city emphasizing that
they are sacrificing the grass to save the trees. The city will add a third day to watering parks beginning this week.
tion in summer 2014, the state has ordered

the citys water provider to cut 32 percent
of its total water use during the months of
June through February compared with
2013.
The data shows Golden State is complying with that order in Claremont.
Golden State distributed212 milliongallons in May 2015, a sharp decrease from
the 355 million gallons provided in May
2013. Residential use made up64 percentof total water consumed in the city,
with each resident using on average118gallons of water a daya number
well above the 87.5 gallon state average.
Golden State received 42 complaints of
water wasting by Claremont customers in
May 2015, almost double the amount of
complaints received in the previous
month. In both April and May 2015, six
complaints required follow-up by the
water company although no warnings
were issued or penalties assessed.
To report water leaks and water wasting, call Golden State at (800) 999-4033.
The line is available 24-hours a day, seven

days a week.
When comparing residential water consumption to nearby districts, Claremont
still remains one of the highest, coming in
second only to Upland with 132 residential gallons per capita daily.
The cities of La Verne, Pomona, Chino
and Ontario as well as the Monte Vista
Water District were the lowest, falling
below the state average for May.
While Claremont has exceeded its 32
percent water reduction goal imposed by
the state for May, you only need to look
around town to see the consequences.
Lawns, medians and athletic fields, once
lush and green, are slowly beginning to
fade to gold.
We have seen a noticeable decline in
some of our sports fields, which we think
might be a little more extreme than we
need to be right now, Mr. Ramos explained to council. Were going to be
adding another day back to those watering schedulesat certain sports parks where
our children are in play and hopefully

bring them back to a better condition than
they currently are.
While homeowners dont have the luxury of adding another watering day to
their schedules; they need not worry about
repercussions from the city for letting
their lawns brown-out, at least for now.
Governor Brown signed a bill on Monday prohibiting local governments from
imposing fines on residents for violating
lawn maintenance ordinances while the
state is in emergency drought conditions.
City officials continue to move forward
with plans on re-landscaping Shelton
Park, Indian Hill Boulevard medians and
Claremont City Hall to reduce turf.
A project plan for city hall will be presented to city council at their next meeting
scheduled for July 28.

Claremont native returns for debut of feature film
lthough no one will ever

confuse Claremont for
Hollywood, the lines
will be blurred as the lights dim
at Laemmles Claremont 5 next
weekend and the narrative feature film Runoff hits the screen
for a limited engagement.
Claremont native and independent
film producer Kurt Pitzer, along with his
writer/director wife Kimberly Levin, will
return home for a Q & A with moviegoers on Saturday, July 25 and Sunday, July
26.
Im so happy to be able to show this
film in my hometown, its a dream, Mr.
Pitzer says, recalling the acres of citrus
groves he played in as a kid. A lot of the
film resonates with me having grown up
in an agricultural setting like Claremont.
Produced by Mr. Pitzer and written
and directed by Ms. Levin, Runoff made
its debut at the Los Angeles Film Festival
in June 2014 and has exploded to the big

screen with select showings in theaters
in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles,
Louisville, Lexington and Claremont.
As one of the top scripts in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences
Nicholls Screenwriting Competition in
2009, the storyline garnered the attention
of several large movie studios; however,
Ms. Levin and Mr. Pitzer chose to maintain creative control of the project.
We had a lot of interest from bigger
studios, but they wanted to change the
story, Mr. Pitzer explains. They made
comparisons to Erin Brockovich, but
the story is more complex than that. Its
more than a David and Goliath story and
we wanted to tell it our way, make it the
way we wanted and set about casting the
right actors.
After raising $200,000 from private
sources, the dynamic duo and their team
spent the next several years creating a
film that tells a story in a refreshing and
captivating way.
The storyline focuses on Betty Freeman (Joanne Kelly), a farm wife who
must take desperate measures to save her

family as her husband Frank (Neal Huff)
falls ill and they are threatened to be
forced from their land by big business.
The film delivers the twists and turns
youd want in a drama/thriller, but its the
score and cinematography that bring you
into the story.
Filmed in just 22 days against the
backdrop of working farms in Kentucky,
the story is described as a stirring family drama that asks, How far will we
go to save our families?
The story is loosely based on some
work Kim was doing as a young biochemist, testing stream water. Shed discovered there was a tributary to Lake
Cumberland that was being contaminated
by a nearby underwear factory, explains
Mr. Pitzer. It didnt take much for her to
find the stuff and she brought it to the attention of lawyers and advocates and the
plant eventually closed down.
Because Runoff is an independent
film without studio backing, Mr. Pitzer
and Ms. Levin were able to take their
time in post-production as evidenced by
the incredible sound mixing and attention to detail with each edit.
When we realized the film didnt
have the sense of heat and feeling in the
animal scenes, we borrowed a set of microphones and went back to the location
to pick up those sounds, Mr. Pitzer explains. The sounds of a creek are different in the day as opposed to night and we
wanted to capture that just right.
Mr. Pitzer and Ms. Levin hope to expand the theatrical window for Runoff
in the months ahead and look forward to
the digital release in late August.
Runoff opens at Laemmles Claremont 5 on Friday, July 24 with show

July is the time to let summer flow on

by John Pixley
hen you go out and see

kids camping whove
never camped before, it
brings it all home to me.
Obviously, getting people outdoors, getting them to
enjoy being in nature, is a passion for Sean Woods.
Luckily, its his job.
Mr. Woods is superintendent of the Los Angeles
sector of the California State Parks system. As he explained in an interview with Patt Morrison in the Los
Angeles Times in late May, its his mission to promote
the state parks in the area and help people enjoy these
natural spots.
He says that this can be a challenge, especially with
children who grow up using iPhones and other devices
and are used to dealing and engaging with the world
through a screen. Plenty are even fearful of nature,
seeing television programs about alligators, sharks,
killer storms and other dangerous, not-fun aspects.
He notes, Gone are the days when your parents let
you go out until you came home for dinner at 6.
When kids come out to camp, theyre very fearful,
but then they realize it wasnt so bad. A lot of kids are
used to ambient urban noise, so when theyre in a
quiet spot, like our programs in the Santa Monica
Mountains National Recreation Area, theyre spooked
by the fact that they cant hear noise. Thats the challenge, to break down these barriers with kids.
Were in luck, too. Because its July. Yes, its July,
which is the new August. For most of my life, August
was when everything was closed and everyone took
off. But now that school starts in August, and earlier
and earlier in August in some places, July is the shutdown, take-off month.
July is when we should let it rip, with summer
flowing at full force.
One way we can let it rip is, as Mr. Woods indicates, is to take a break from our electronic device
and take our eyes off our screens. I have at least one
friend who puts his television in the attic when summer comes. I cant go that far, but Im all for the recent ad shown before movies, featuring a family
observer
camping and encouraging us to unplug, not use our
devices, one day a week. This is something we all, not
just kids, can do.
July, with summer and its light shining at its fullest,
is a great time for this. And not only for kids, who are
out of school with days spread out before them. With
its long days and balmy evenings, this is an ideal time
to explore and try new things, to go on new adventures, to unplug and see whats beyond the screen.
Of course, these adventures might include camping. It seems quaint now in our fast-moving, hightech world, but thats part of campings appeal, as
summers popular activity from long ago when days
were slower and more hands-on. At least I found myself lured in by those outdoorsy pre-movie ads.
Not everyone likes the down-and-dirty experience
of camping. There are lots of nice picnic areas and
trails good for day trips (or not far from motels), if
thats what one prefers or is more feasible. We in
Claremont are particularly lucky in this regard. Not
only are there beaches and those Santa Monica
Mountains not too far away. Dont forget the new San
Gabriel Mountains National Monument right in our
backyard. A quick trip up to Mt. Baldy can make for a
refreshing tonic on a hot afternoon.
We in Claremont are even more blessed in a town
known for its surplus of parks. There is the ever-sopopular Wilderness Park, of course, but there are also
the dozen or so parks in town. Not only do we have
city parks, there are the campuses of the Colleges,
many of which are park-like. The campuses are now
relatively quiet during the summer break, although
there may sometimes be noisy tree-trimming or construction going on.
I find that, except on the hottest or notably humid
days, reading under a tree can be surprisingly pleas-
ant. The campuses and parks are also wonderful for

getting out and going for a walk in the cooling
evening. Of course, sitting out under a tree or maybe
by the pool in the backyard can also be a nice escape.
Then there is music in the evening, as the sun goes
down and the cool breezes finally come. Yes, music in
the evening. Eine Kleine Nacht Musik. And lots of it
is free. Another way to unplug and get away, if only
for a couple of hours.
There are, of course, the old stand-by Monday
evening concerts in Memorial Park drawing bigger
and bigger friendly crowds and also, in what has become a popular tradition in the last several years, live
music in the Village on Friday evenings.
For those who are more adventurous, there are the
concerts almost nightly through August at the Levitt
Pavilion in Pasadena, with the pretty lights in the
trees. There is also the Levitt Pavilion in Los Angeles,
as well as Grand Performances, with a very eclectic
line-up and dramatic big-city backdrop, on LAs
Bunker Hill.
Back here in Claremont, though, there isnt just
free music filling our summer evenings. There are
also films, suitable for the whole family, being shown
for free in the parks around town. And, for the second
year, the Midsummer Shakespeare Festival is being
presented by Ophelias Jump during the last two
weekends of this month at the beautiful, outdoor
Greek Theater on the Pomona College campus. This
years plays are Twelfth Night and Titus Andronicus, and while tickets cost $25, this is hopefully another Claremont tradition getting underway.
There are lots of things in July encouraging us to
unplug and take some time off to explore our surroundings. Claremont isnt a bad place to do so. Sure,
the beach and the mountains arent that far, but theres
more than that in Claremont. Perhaps I shouldnt have
been surprised to read recently that Claremont has
been named by TheCultureTrip.com as one of the 10
most beautiful towns on the west coast, right up there
with Cambria, Nevada City and Mendocino in California. Yes, enjoy!
DEMYSTIFYING SUSTAINABILITYpage 11
OUR TOWN

Marilee Scaff will discuss A Life of Learning and
Justice at Pilgrim Place on Tuesday, July 21.
Marilee Scaff to share stories,

anecdotes on her Life of
Learning and Justice
An Evening with Marilee Scaff, A Life of Learning
and Justice, is set for Tuesday, July 21 from 5:30 to 7
p.m. in the Napier Center at Pilgrim Place.
There is hardly an area of community service Ms.
Scaff has left untouched in her nearly 72 years living in
Claremont. Ms. Scaff is entering her 32nd year as a
volunteer for the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden,
where she spurs on her neverending curiosity with native wildflowers, a passion developed as a young child.
She has also made a name for herself with the local
chapter of the League of Women Voters, serving at
both the local and county level.
Asking her to reflect on her other areas of involvement over the years draws up a long list from the Community Friends of International students and the United
Nations Association. Perhaps Ms. Scaff found the
fountain of life in her healthy dose of involvement because this 99-year-old is sharp as a whip with walker in
hand at city council meetings, Sustainable Claremont
and League of Women Voters gatherings. She continues to be Claremonts resident expert in water rights,
though she would humbly dispute that title.
The talk is free and open to the public. Refreshments
will be served. Contact [email protected] for information.
Special Olympics torch run

celebration at Memorial Park
The Law Enforcement Torch Run Final Leg for the
Special Olympics World Games Los Angeles 2015
(LA2015) will come through the city of Claremont on
Wednesday, July 22. A special ceremony will take place
at Memorial Park on Indian Hill Boulevard at 2 p.m.,
which will include remarks by Officer Joe Alton and
Special Olympic athlete Brett Laza.
The Special Olympics Flame of Hope will complete
its journey on July 25, when the torch run final leg
team carries it into the opening ceremony of the 2015
World Games and ignites the cauldron at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, site of the 1932 and 1984
Olympic Games. The final leg torch run began July 13
at the State Capitol Building in Sacramento and made
its way through more than 120 cities across the state.
The public is invited to join the Claremont Police
Department, Olympic athletes and city leaders at Memorial Park at 2 p.m. to send off the torch runners between 3 and 4 p.m.
Love they Neighbor benefit

concert featuring John York
Its an evening of music and community spirit not to
be missed. Love Thy Neighbor, a concert benefiting
Claremont Homeless Advocacy Program (CHAP), will
be held on Sunday, July 19 at the Claremont United
Methodist Church beginning at 7 p.m. The two-hour
event features John York, instrumentalist and former
member of the 60s group The Byrds, as well as an opportunity to hear first hand what CHAP is all about.
Tickets are available with a suggested donation of
$15 and can be purchased online at Eventbrite, in person at the Folk Music Center or at the door on the night
of the event.
All proceeds will directly benefit Claremont Homeless Advocacy Program. Born of the need demonstrated by Occupy, CHAP is a group of volunteers who
seek to end homelessness in the community by finding
sustainable housing for those in need. Their purpose is
to connect each identified homeless participant in
Claremont with a pair of advocates who are trained to
guide and support each individual through the process
of securing affordable, sustainable housing. CHAP has
recently secured a house in Claremont where four former homeless will be living and hope to add other rental
houses to this mix over the coming years.
From friends over the pond

Megan Parry, resident of a village in South Oxfordshire, England called Dorchester-on-Thames wrote in
to the COURIER recently seeking help. The Dorchester-on-Thames is famous for its medieval Abbey
and, in the recent past, its American friends were a
very active and generous body who helped restore the
Jesse window. According to Ms. Parry, the Americans
took particular interest in the setting of the Abbey and
created a rose avenue and the Cloister Garden.
One of the benches was given to the garden by
Doris and Edward Caster from Claremont. Ms. Parry
notes that the benches are now in a rather sorry
state.
Ms. Parry writes, Sadly our contact with the
American Friends has diminished. However, I was
wondering whether the Caster family are still in
Claremont and whether they would be interested in
replacing the bench or at least making contact with
me?
As a very small community with a very large
Abbey to support, Ms. Parry said it relies entirely on
the voluntary efforts of people locally. She is recently
retired and started taking care of one of the beds in
the Cloister garden, where benches have been placed
for visitors to come and absorb the atmosphere.
Anyone with information on the Casters or the
Cloister Garden may contact Kathryn Dunn by email
at [email protected].

Gerald Jerry Juergens
OBITUARIES
Dentist, veteran
Longtime Claremont resident and

dentist Gerald Jerry Juergens died on
July 10, 2015 after a brief illness. He
was 90.
He was born in Whittier on November 22, 1924 to Frederick Juergens and
Etta Ernst. He lived his entire life in
southern California except for a threeyear tour as a dentist in the US Navy in
the early 1950s. Prior to that, he served
as a navy dentist during the final two
years of World War II. Following his
second tour of duty, Dr. Juergens returned to Claremont where he established a long and successful dental
practice.
It was perhaps during his youth that
Dr. Juergens set the stage for a lifetime
of persistence and hard work. At age
nine he was selling magazines to neighbors, and at age 12 he was delivering
advertising papers on his bike in the
dark of the morning. As a teenager, he
sold Harold Express newspapers on the
corner of Jefferson and Crenshaw
boulevards in Los Angeles.
When the war broke out in 1942, he
was a high school senior and worked on
the loading docks at San Pedro. To get
to the docks, he would take the No. 5
streetcar around 4 a.m. to Alameda
Street, take the Red Car south to San
Pedro and then walk a few blocks to the
Union Hall. Sometimes he would get

hired for the day, and other times he
went home empty-handed.His first
eight-hour job was at an aircraft plant in
Inglewood, making airplane parts during two summers as a college student.
Dr. Juergens graduated from Dorsey
High School in 1942 and then enrolled
in the University of Southern California
Dental School through the V-12 Navy
College Training Program. He was released from the navy in 1945 and con-
tinued his education at USC, graduating

in 1947. He married Dorothy Dot
Mills on December 16, 1950, three
years after he first moved to Claremont
to set up a small dental practice.
In 1951, the Korean War began and
Jerry was again called to active duty. He
served as a navy dentist for three more
years and was stationed in San Diego,
Brooklyn, New York and Narragansett
Bay, Newport, Rhode Island. He gleefully would recall the time when he was
asked to be the chief medical officer on
a ship bound for Honolulu out of San
Diego. The navy was short on medical
staff, and he didnt want to miss an opportunity to travel to Hawaii. He often
wondered what would have happened if
someone on board needed anappendectomy or suffered from some other serious medical condition.
In 1954, he returned to Claremont
where he continued to practice dentistry
for the rest of his career. Hewas active
in the Kiwanis Club of Claremont and
was honored recently for 60 years of
perfect attendance. Inspired by his wife
Dot, who prepared books for readers
through the Kiwanis, he became actively involved in the Read Me program
in Claremont schools.
Dr. Juergens was passionate about
boating and enjoyeddownhill skiing,
gardening, traveling to Mazatlan, Mexico and investing in property, including

an almond farm in the San Joaquin Valley and commercial properties in Claremont.
Over the course of their life together,
he and Dot owned many boats. In earlier years, he and his family would
trailer a boat to the San Juan Islands in
the northwest corner of the United
States and camp on Waldron Island, accessible only by boat or sea plane.
Eventually, they purchased larger boats
and moored them off of Balboa Island
at Newport Bay. They spent many
weekends on their last boat, Sunny II,
and occasionally would take short trips
to Catalina.
Jerry is survived by his loving wife of
64 years, Dorothy Juergens, and his
daughters, Karen Juergens of Lake Oswego, Oregon, Jody Wiencek of Canby,
Oregon and Lorie Juergens-Chapin of
Salem, Oregon. He also leaves seven
grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Memorial contributions may be
sent to the Dot and Jerry Juergens Memorial Fund though Community Senior
Services, 141 Spring St., Claremont, CA
91711, or the Dot and Jerry Juergens
Read Me Memorial Fund through Kiwanis Club, PO Box 1774, Claremont
CA, 91711.

nontoxic cancer treatment.She published a book called Apricot Power:
How Laetrile Cured My Cancer and
served as president of the Laguna
Woods Nutrition Club.
Spirituality was another touchstone
in Mrs. Currans life. She led the Reflections on the Life of the Spirit
group at the Leisure World retirement
community and organized Transcendental Meditation meetings and Kabbalah discussions in her home that were
facilitated by Dr. Michael Grossman.
Helen, a seeker from birth, was inspired
by the Bahais of Laguna Woods.She
joined the Bahai faith and made many

friends among the Bahai community
as well as throughout Laguna Woods.
Mrs. Curran will be remembered for
her sense of humor, her willingness to
help others, her capacity to appreciate
beauty and her ability to find joy in
everyday living.

Sign up, get involved in the energy challenge

by Freeman Allen
e hear about it all the timeif

we continue to use fossil fuels as
we are now, life on earth is
going to change for the worse, and we dont
have much time to prevent it. What can you
and I do? What can towns like Claremont
do to fight these impending changes? Thats
what Georgetown University is asking.
Georgetown University challenged 50 cities across the
United States to come up with the best answer for a $5
million prize. Claremont is the only city competing in
the Southland, where almost half the population of California lives. We call it the Claremont Energy ChallengeCECand we are going all-out to win by
reducing gas and electricity use in homes and schools
through 2016 but, more importantly, by being innovative
and showing others what they can do. Every one of us
can be a part of this, and we need your help!
CEC is a joint project of Sustainable Claremont and
CHERP, being directed by Devon Hartman in partnership with the city of Claremont and more than 40 other
organizations. The innovative CHERP initiativethe
Community Home Energy Retrofit Projectstarted here
Demystifying
SUSTAINABILITY
in Claremont, has won national recognition and is being
replicated in other cities as a way to conserve energy
where it is used most: in buildings. Its a win, win, win
it saves money, homes are more comfortable, property
values increase and it helps with global warming.
Start with simple things like using energy-efficient appliances and LED lightbulbs, then make your home easier to heat and cool by improving insulation and sealing
air leaks and, finally, you can use sunlight to generate
electricity. Thousands of dollars in rebates and other incentives are available.
We want everyone in Claremont to know what they
can do and be able to participate. To learn more, visit our
website, ClaremontEnergyChallenge.net. There, you can
join with Claremonters who are taking action, find a calendar of informational workshops and neighborhood coffees and gain more information.
You can request a yard sign showing you are helping
with the challenge and saving energy. If you would like
to do even more, you can sign on to help with Walk the
Town, our very ambitious project with a goal of visiting

every household in Claremont with information on what
can be done to save energy, help with and learn about the
Challenge and learn about CHERP and Sustainable
Claremont.
If you would like to keep track of your home energy
use, we have a great resource for you. CEC has been
granted $50,000 for an online program that will give
Claremont residents detailed twice-monthly reports on
how their energy is being used, including information on
heating, cooling, appliances, pool pumps and lights. The
online program will recommend ways to further reduce
energy consumption with reports on your progress!
Just go to ClaremontEnergyChallenge.net and click
the Start Here button for that great resource that will be
available by July 20.
In the fall, Claremont will again be in a CoolCalifornia Challenge, the exciting competition where last time
we won a $23,000 award for having Claremonters sign
up and keep track of their energy use. This will be a great
addition to our Claremont Energy Challenge, and this
time we could be the Coolest California City!
Demystifying Sustainability is a project of Sustainable
Claremont (sustainableclaremont.org). Follow them on

Local NASCAR driver has talent to compete with the best
icky Schlick has been

on a tear since he first
appeared in the
COURIER six years ago. Back
then he was in elementary
school and racing miniature
bandolero cars. Now the 18year-old Claremont resident is
a rising star on the local
NASCAR circuit, which is
equivalent to Double-A, two
steps from the majors, in baseball terms.
The unassuming teen has been

steadily moving up from his early racing days, including a championship in
the SRL Legends Tour 2013. That victory launched him into his current place
racing NASCAR on the west coast.
Seven races into the 2015 season, he
currently sits at fifth place out of about
30 drivers and feels confident he will
continue to do well.
He has a new car and it takes a little
while to get it dialed in, explained his
father Howard Schlick. Once they work
out the kinks, they hope to dominate.
In the early days his fathers towing
company sponsored Ricky but now he
has two major sponsors, 51-Fifty energy drinks and Fresh and Easy grocery
stores. Both endorsements were aided
by the elder Mr. Schlicks efforts and
by the generosity of family friends Ron
and Scott Burkle.
The expense of racing, even at this
intermediate level, can be prohibitive.
In addition to the purchase price, his
Chevrolet must be partially rebuilt following each race. Plus, if he experiences engine problems or has a crash,
the cost goes up. He also has to pay for
a crew on race days. Howard Schlick
estimates the cost could be as high as
$250,000 a year and will be even more
as his son moves up in the ranks.
He admits to having fans, particularly at the Irwindale Raceway, his
home track. Ive been around the track
a long time. People know me. Asked
COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff

Ricky Schlick, 18, checks out the interior of his backup race car recently at his fathers towing company. Ricky has been
racing NASCAR for two years and is in fifth place for point totals this season.
why he races, he replied, The adrenaline. I love it.

Mr. Schlick speaks highly of the effort his son has put into his own success. There is no stopping him. Hes
going to make it. He practices on his
days off and studies racing.
However, he does admit there is a
downside to Rickys success. S & J
Towing Service, which was started by
Howards father in the 1950s, is very
much a family concern and he had
planned to pass it on to the next generation. Ill be watching him on TV and
Ill have to work a few more years, he
said, but it will be worth it.
In addition to his corporate sponsors,
Ricky also races for the nonprofit foundation Racing for Autism. The connection is a perfect fit, because his younger
sister Rachel has autism. This weekend
is Autism Awareness Weekend at the

track, giving him additional incentive to
win.
This Saturday, Ricky will compete
twice at Irwindale, the opening race just
after the track opens at 7 p.m. and the
closing race closer to 9 p.m. People
who want to chat with the racers or get
an autograph are welcome to come
down to the racetrack on Saturday at
5:45 p.m. for a special meet-and-greet
in the infield.
With the busy race schedule and his
studies to complete his senior year and
get his diploma, there isnt a lot of time
for recreation. He still finds a few free
moments, though.
I like to play with RC [radio control] race cars, he said with a smile.

Jeni Wrens: Tasteful eatery comes to roost at Route 66
mong the businesses

dotted along Foothill
Boulevard in Claremont is an oasis of culinary
charm called Jeni Wrens Caf
& Catering. Its an eatery specializing in breakfast and lunch,
marked by simple fare drizzled
with gourmet touches.
Want French toast? Try the Apple Blossom French Toast, featuring a grilled cinnamon brioche smothered in sauted
granny Smith apple and garnished with
whipped cream.
Do you like egg-in-a hole? Try the
Wrens Nest, which starts when the chef
pours an egg into grilled sourdough bread
and fries it. The hole is flower-shaped and
the toppingsgrilled spinach, bell peppers, artichokes and feta cheesemake
the dish a delight for vegetarians and omnivores alike.
We do everything we can to make
everything fresh. We cut up our apples
every day and we cut our potatoes every
day, owner Jen Smith said. Nothing is
frozen and it never comes out of a can.
Ms. Smith prides herself on supporting
local businesses. Jeni Wrens serves wine
from the family-owned Leaping Horse
vineyard in Indio, and beer from Dale
Bros in Upland is on tap. The champagne,
which is imported from Spain, comes
from further afield. But again, the vineyard is family-owned.
And the baked goods, supplied by
Upper Crust Bakery in Anaheim, are pure
crusty goodness. There are fresh muffins,
scones, brioches and artisanal breads in
varieties like spinach parmesan, Italian
tomato focaccia and marbled rye.
Ms. Smith has spent years working in
the restaurant industry, most notably The
Spaghetti Factory. But Jeni Wrens marks
the first time she has launched her own
enterprise.
I felt like I had grown and learned as
much as I could where I was at, she said.
Ms. Smith, who has three children, was
also ready to make her life more familyfriendly. Though she occasionally has
catering gigs that extend into the evening,
the restaurants doors close at 3 oclock.
On the weekends, her sons Drexel, 19,

is encouraged to choose their personal coffee cup to use. Jeni Wrens opened in
February and is located on Foothill Boulevard.
and Baylee, 17, and her 16-year-old

daughter Emma work for her.
Getting up at 6:30 a.m. to roll silverware may not be the kids idea of the perfect Saturday, but its a good way to teach
them about the business of making a living.
And even though Im at work, Im
getting to spend time with them, Ms.
Smith said.
Family is hugely important to Ms.
Smith. In fact, the restaurants name was
inspired by a sweet family memory. My
Grammy called me Jeni Wren when I was
a little girl, because I talked a lot and the
wren is a very chatty bird, she explained.
The name is just the start of the restaurants homey feel. You can pick out your
own cup from a motley assortment of coffee mugs, including souvenir cups from
destinations ranging from San Francisco
to Sweden, before its filled with steaming coffee. Ms. Smiths aim is to make
people feel like theyre on vacation, perhaps ensconced in a cozy bed-and-breakfast.
The ambience is nostalgic without
being fussy. Tables are topped with pretty
fabrics and shelves are decorated with
vintage items like lunch boxes, thermoses

and tins for sundries like coffee, salt, sugar
and flour.
Ms. Smith is quite handy, and creative
repurposing is everywhere in evidence.
She made her own coffee hutch, decorated with fence pickets and an old shutter. A lamp-hung iron gate is suspended
over one table, which just happens to be
made from an up-cycled door.
For Michelle Singer, Jeni Wrens has
become a home away from home. She
and her wife, Robyn Katchem, walked
into the place two weeks after it opened.
The Piedmont Mesa couple was so won
over theyve come back every weekend,
and they take every opportunity to encourage friends to give Jeni Wrens a try.
Ms. Singer likes to order the Wrens
Nest and treat herself to a white chocolate
scone. Ms. Katchem opts for banana nut
French toast. Whatever they order, Jeni
Wrens always hits the spot.
Its just a warm environment. Its very
cozy and homey, with its shabby chic decorations, Ms. Singer said. Its a shining
example of what Claremont has to offer.
Ms. Smith has the kind of detail-oriented nature that you need when running
a restaurant. For example, she pays a

touch more to get the kind of Bigelow tea
that comes in a gauzy fabric tea bag instead of a paper one because it reminds
her of the tea they serve at a spa.
Shes not a chef, but she does come up
with great ideas for menu items. When it
comes to execution, she gives plenty of
credit to her chef Javier Vargas, who she
found through a culinary school in Baldwin Park.
Its good to work with people with different knowledge and different experience, she said. They can teach you.
And when it comes to savory goodness,
visitors can learn a thing or two from Jeni
Wrens. If youre not sure what to order,
you might want to start with the cafs
Restaurant Week special, which will continue to run through this Sunday, July 19.
For $10, you can get a sandwich and a
drink, accompanied with homemade
pasta salad, crisp potato chips or fresh
fruit.
These arent just any sandwiches. For
instance, theres a pulled-pork panini, with
the tender meat flavored by Sweet Baby
Rays barbecue sauce and cooled by cole
slaw. Theres also a killer chicken pesto
sandwich served on basil Focaccia bread.
There is also a growing number of regulars who urge you to give this little caf,
the latest to perch on Foothill Boulevard,
a try.
We are Jeni Wrens biggest cheerleaders, Ms. Singer said.
Jeni Wrens is nestled between the
Shell station on the corner of Foothill and
Towne and the Stater Bros shopping center, at the site of the former Inka Trails.
The address is 1077 W. Foothill Blvd. in
Claremont. For information, call (909)

Claremont bicycle group proves age has no limits
heres no better place to

be a cyclist than the
City of Trees. With
over 30 linear miles of bicycle
infrastructure and organizations geared towards all ages
and cycling skill levels, Claremontwhich has been designated as a bike-friendly city by
the League of American Bicyclistsis a haven for riders.
The Claremont Senior Bicycle

Group (CSBG), sponsored by the
Claremont Senior Program, provides an
environment where riders can participate and grow in a safe and friendly
setting. It encourages older cyclists to
ride whenever they can with groups
that suit their style.
In 2014, the CSBG rode 112,000 cumulative miles, with regular rides
scheduled every day of the week except
Friday and Sunday. Each day offers
variations in distance and pace so that
riders of all abilities can join.
On Tuesday, we have a beginning
group that does about five miles in the
Village, which is great because when
people start, theyre not ready for a 15mile ride, says CSBG founder and advisor Larry Scheetz. Once they enjoy
five miles two or three times a week,
and after riding a few monthssometimes even weeksthey ride in a 15mile Wednesday ride. Now, those same
people who started out with us are riding 50, 60, 70 miles.
The Claremont Senior Bicycle
Group began in 1997 with 13 cyclists
and has grown over the years to 125
members strong. Cyclists range in age
from 55 to 92, with women making up
more than 50 percent of the recreational
bike club.
Depending on the day, the cyclists
gather at a designated location and hit
the open road for a group ride. Monday
and Wednesday are the most popular
days, drawing 30 to 40 cyclists in two
groupsthe traditional group and the
more challenging power groupfollowing a leader and traveling to locales
like Bonelli Park.
When youre biking, you dont really get acquainted with people. But
when you sit down and eat with them,
you get to know them, so on most of
our rides theres a food stop, founding
member and CSBG ride leader, Dr. Jim
Beasom explains. Some people just
have coffee and others have a full
breakfast.
And then theres those of us who
ride-to-eat and eat-to-ride, Mr. Scheetz
adds with a smile.
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday riders can enjoy a 30-mile round trip to
Victoria Gardens, where again the
group shares a meal before pedaling
back to 91711, making sure nobody
gets left behind.

WHISPER HOUSE
continued from the previous page
The 1920s throwback, replacing the

former Hip Kitty Jazz and Fondue, is
the brainchild of managing partner Andrew Segal, who promises customers
spirits, sustenance and secrecy.
Mr. Segal, who has been in the
restaurant industry for years, came up
with the idea for the Packing Houses
latest addition while working on the
other side of the historical building, at
Eureka Claremont. Despite the Hip
Kittys recent departure, Mr. Segal said
he knew the location would be perfect
for a successful restaurant. Drawing inspiration from The Varnish, an LAbased speakeasy, Mr. Segal started to
formulate his plan to open a semi-secret
bar and lounge that could also provide
a full-service dining experience.
From 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. the Whisper
House will operate like any other
Claremont eatery. But as the clock
strikes nine the restaurant will start to
transform into its alter ego. The lights
will dim, the front door will close and
the party will really get started.
Mr. Segal set the stage with a fullscale renovation. A gleaming bar welcomes guests as they enter the room,

Lewis Family Playhouse
is presenting the musical
Peter Pan beginning on
Saturday, July 18.
The ageless boy Peter
Pan and his sparkly friend Tinkerbell lead the three
Darling children over the rooftops of London and
away to Neverland, the island where the lost boys,
Tiger Lily and the Indians play. Magic and mischief is
in the air, but if villainous Captain Hook and his band
of pirates have their way, someone will soon be swimming with the crocodiles. The production, sprinkled
with fairy-dust and lots of music, is based on the play
by James M. Barrie.
Performances are as follows: July 18, 19 and 25 at 7:30
p.m.; July 18, 19, 25 and 26 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20, $18
for seniors and $16 for children younger than 12. The
playhouse is located at the Victoria Gardens Cultural Center in Rancho Cucamonga. For tickets and information,

Cole Precious Persian, relentless beggar
ets bring us a lot of joy, but loving an animal can also bring a
little sadness. The critters we
adopt as family members usually dont
live as long as we do, and it can be
hard to say goodbye. Once we get over
the loss, though, their memory can still
make us smile.
Its true for Cole, a Persian cat belonging to
COURIER classifieds editor Jessica Gustin Pfahler.
He died last week at 18, a ripe old age for a cat, and
we thought it would be nice to give this furry friend
a Round of A-Paws.
Cole got his name because he was coal-black
when he was a kitten. Before long, though, he grew
gray and beige fur, becoming stripy like the feisty
little tiger he was. He lived in Ventura, California
for many years now, but he had some adventures
before settling down.
Jessicas dad was in the navy and when she was
nine, her family planned a big move to a naval base
in Spain. They had just gotten Cole and his sister
Penny, who were only three months old. They
werent worried, though, because at the time you
could bring pets to Spain with no hassle. Then, her
dads orders changed and they found out they would
be moving to Hawaii. When they got there, both kittens had to remain quarantinedcaged up and inspected for diseasesfor four months before
coming home.
Penny just chilled out, but Cole missed his family
so much that he cried a lot. And every time he cried,
the attendant, who was a pushover, fed him. By the
time Cole was released, he had become one chubby
cat, earning the new nickname Fatboy.
Cole was known for his beautiful green eyes,
which looked like a dinosaurs eyes. Cole was affectionate when it suited him. He enjoyed spending
Sunday mornings with Jessicas mom Anne, sitting
on her lap while she read the paper, and frequently
could be found sleeping in Jessicas bed. Sunning
on the pool deck was another favorite activity.
As he got older, Cole had less patience for the
shenanigans of other pets who came into the household. While he became less of a fat boy, he was

more insistent when it came to human food.

He constantly begged for treats, especially bacon,
and if you even began to remove a package of bacon
from the fridge, he would hustle over.
One time he was found absolutely slimy, because he
had jumped on the counter and devoured a bunch of
bacon grease, becoming covered in the stuff in the
process.
Coles family already misses him. They like to picture him in kitty heaven, which might just include a
warm pool deck and an all-you-can-eat bacon bar.
You are invited to don a superhero costume, bring

a water gun and prepare for a confrontation of epic
proportions. Guests will become real-life heroes as
they embark on a mission to invade a fortress and
recover stolen coins.
Watch for lurking villains, armed with their own
water guns and ready to foil your plans. There will
be filling stations located throughout the winding
3k course, so youll have lots of opportunities to reload. The event will feature a base camp with a DJ,
a pizza party along with other food, plus vendors,
bounce houses and a Minion caricature artist.
Awards will be given to the three best superhero
costumes.
Proceeds benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation as
well as the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden. The
cost to participate is $20 if you register before July
24 and $30 if you register the day of the event. Kids
two and younger get in free. If youre a parent
bringing children but not participating, youll need
to purchase a spectator ticket for $10. You are also
encouraged to follow the events Facebook site, because as theyll be running several $5 off deals.
Groups of guests will take off in 15- or 30-minute
intervals. The first wave begins at 7 a.m. and the last
leaves at 11 a.m. The costume contest will begin at
noon. Youre welcome to enjoy the base camp afterparty until 3 p.m.
The Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden is located
at 1500 N. College Ave. in Claremont. For information, visit jrherorun.com or call (909) 605-6889.

A warm welcome
ello! My name is Amelie

Cook, and Im the Claremont
COURIERs most recent cub
reporter. I go to El Roble Intermediate
School and will be entering the 8th
grade this year. Ive always enjoyed
reading and writing, and hope to become a journalist when I grow up.
This opportunity came to me during Career Day
at El Roble, when I talked to the papers editor
Kathryn Dunn. I asked her about job openings in
journalism and if you need to intern before becoming a reporter at a newspaper or magazine.
Ms. Dunn said it was important for journalists to
get as much experience as possible. She suggested
that I do an internship with the COURIER during
the summer, and I happily accepted the invitation.
Ive had a great time these past few days, working on the Almanac and writing a couple stories.
Im definitely excited to write more for the newspaper this year, as one of its cub reporters.

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 may hold more than one mortgage or deed of
trust on the property. 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
714-730-2727 for information regarding the trustees
sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this
foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-14-628437-HL . Information about postponements that are very short
in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the
telephone information or on the Internet Web site.
The best way to verify postponement information is
to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee
disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the
property address or other common designation, if
any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location
of the property may be obtained by sending a written
request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date
of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the
Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason,
the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy
shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee,
and the successful bidder shall have no further
recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the
Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have
no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the
Mortgagee, or the Mortgagees Attorney. If you
have previously been discharged through bankruptcy,
you may have been released of personal liability for
this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders rights against the real property
only. As required by law, you are hereby notified that
a negative credit report reflecting on your credit
record may be submitted to a credit report agency if
you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations.

Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness
of the street address and other common designation,
if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made in an
AS IS condition, 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 said Deed
of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said
note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed
of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the
Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of
Trust, to-wit: $468,681.03 (Estimated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase
this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time
of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. 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 may hold more than one mortgage or deed of
trust on the property. 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
(888) 988-6736 or visit this Internet Web site
salestrack.tdsf.com, using the file number assigned
to this case 15-54004. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur
close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or
on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled
sale. The Declaration pursuant to California Civil
Code, Section 2923.5(a) was fulfilled when the Notice of Default was recorded on 3/31/2015 Date:

Wow! June was a huge sales month with a 29 percent increase in the number of sales
over the same month last year. What is important and interesting to note about this
data, is it is actually a reflection of the prior months activity. The majority of the sales
that occurredor closings for a more accurate termwere due to sales activity in
the month of May. With most escrow periods being 30 to 40 days, the homes that
opened escrow in May will often close in June. The month of June appeared to have
been a slower month in terms of actual sales activity compared to the previous month,
though the numbers for July will tell that story. Inventory has increased significantly
over the past month, with the latest inventory on market being 99 homes as of July 7.
This is compared to inventory in the low 60s during much of spring.
