Long range goals of wilderness

park master plan
Dear Editor:
The draft master plan for the Wilderness
Park contains much to be applauded. It seeks
to balance the concerns of various stakeholders, it recommends an enlarged ranger
staff with increased duties and powers, it encourages the establishment of a robust volunteer program and it includes a resource
management plan for dealing with invasive
species, trail erosion and habitat restoration.
But the value of any plan depends not just
on the good ideas it contains, but on their successful implementation. Countless individual
decisions will be necessary in order to translate the master plans general goals into specific actions. Determining which informal
trails should be closed and which should be
repaired, evaluating whether or not a particular parking policy has been successful, deciding which invasive species to eradicate
and which to allowall these, as well as unknown future problems and challenges, will
confront those responsible for park operations and maintenance.
Since the master plan is meant to guide
park management for more than 20 years, it
is appropriate that its pages not be cluttered
with the details of these kinds of specific decisions. Rather, the plan should provide a
general structural framework for how to deal

with problems and decisions as they arise.
Responsibility for park operations should
be in the hands of a park managerperhaps
the senior rangerrather than falling on the
shoulders of already-overworked city staff.
An experienced individual with appropriate
background in park management could deal
with day-to-day issues and also provide leadership in prioritizing the different elements in
the resource management plan.
Although policy decisions would continue
to be made by the Community and Human
Services Commission and city staff, this
would focus major responsibility in an individual who has daily, hands-on knowledge of
the conditions and problems in the park.
Finally, we recommend the establishment
of an advisory group of representative stakeholders, perhaps organized under the Friends
of CHWP, which would meet periodically
with the park manager or designated staff
member.
As city staff and consultants work to finalize the master plan, we ask that consideration be given to these ideas for developing
a stronger, more coherent governance structure for the park.

update on the citys economic sustainability report were on the agenda during a lean city council meeting on Tuesday,
November 24.
Mayor Linda Elderkin was tasked to take a look at the

projected economic future of the city. The forecast was
grim: if the city continued on its path, it would face a
general fund budget deficit of $2.3 million by 2015, according to city documents.
The committee recommended sweeping budgetary
changes in order to stave off the impending deficit.
These changes included overhauling the PERS benefits so the city would not have to pay the employees
contribution to the retirement system and pursuing new
commercial development ventures across town.
The result, according to the update, was $24.5 million in general fund revenues by 2012, an over $2.5 million increase over the projected estimate. By 2015, the
general fund was still over $1 million the projected
level brought forth by the ad-hoc committee.

he council was pleased with the

update. Councilmember Opanyi
Nasiali, who along with fellow
Councilmember Larry Schroeder served
on the initial ad-hoc committee, called the
report very gratifying.
To paraphrase a line from a movie I watched recently, we have actually worked very hard to be lucky,
Mr. Nasiali said. So I think we need to continue working hard at spending the citys funds wisely and to continue the spirit of living within our means.
Councilmember Joe Lyons said the writing was on
the wall for tough economic times ahead, and praised
the committee members for working toward avoiding
the economic disasters that have befallen other cities.
This is a very collaborative effort from the staff,
from the council and from the public, Councilmember Sam Pedroza said. We have weathered this financial storm pretty well.
Items on the consent calendar included the reclassification changes in speed limits to a number of local
streets.
Based on the 2014 speed survey, the council ap-
proved recommendations to reclassify three stretches

of streets to local roadsAmerican Avenue from
Mills to Indian Hill, Mountain Avenue from San Jose
to Arrow and San Jose Avenue from Mills to College.
One stretch of road, College Way from Williams to
College Way, would be reclassified as a Major Collector road. All roadways save for College Way will
experience a slight drop in speed limit, from 30 mph
to 25 mph.
Based on the 2015 speed survey, which was unveiled during the Traffic and Transportation Committee earlier in November, seven additional streets
within the city would also experience changes.
These streetsCollege Avenue from San Jose to
Arrow, Lassen Avenue from Scottsbluff to Lindenwood, Lindenwood from Lassen to Shenandoah,
Mountain Avenue from Bonita to Harrison, Shenandoah Drive from Lindenwood to Claremont Boulevard, Sixth Street from Indian Hill to College and
Sumner Avenue from Briarcroft to Ridgefieldwill
be reclassified as local roads.
Once the city receives approval from Caltrans, the
street changes will then be added to the citys general
plan, according to city documents.
Also on the consent calendar was a contract to purchase two additional sanitation trucks to serve the
city. Los Angeles Truck Center offered to sell the

Claremont police arrested a man at
Blaisdell Park after they found him in the
area acting suspiciously. Officers were
called after witnesses saw 33-year-old
Gustavo Zamarripa and a female companion attempt to enter the restroom with
a pit bull-type dog at approximately 8:44
p.m., according to Detective Hector
Tamayo of the CPD. Both Mr. Zamarripa
and his companion were deaf, and officers had to communicate with them
using handwritten notes. During a routine records check, it was revealed that
Mr. Zamarripa had eight outstanding
warrants for his arrest. He was also in
possession of a methamphetamine pipe.
He was arrested and booked at CPD jail.

Two people were arrested after getting
pulled over while driving a stolen vehicle. Claremont police made contact with
a blue Mitsubishi Lancer after a check
revealed it was stolen out of San
Bernardino. Tommy Castillo, 34, of
Chino Hills was the driver, and in the
passenger seat was 32-year-old Melanie
Humpert of San Bernardino. An additional check of the car revealed a meth
pipe in the ashtray and a bag containing

numerous pieces of mail from different
residences in the area. Both Mr. Castillo
and Ms. Humpert were arrested and
booked at CPD jail.
Thursday, November 19
Claremont police arrested a Pomona
man after he stole a guitar and tried to
make a getaway on his bike. Henry Orcasitas, 32, was stopped by police at about
9 p.m. after a customer at Yum Yum
Donuts realized his guitar was missing.
When police contacted Mr. Orcasitas, he
became verbally abusive to officers. The
victim was brought to the scene and Mr.
Orcasitas was positively identified as the
musical thief. An additional check revealed he had a meth pipe on him. Mr.
Orcasitas was arrested and booked at
CPD jail. The guitar was returned to its
rightful owner.
Saturday, November 21
An unknown person slammed into a
parked car while on his bicycle on the
1400 block of Mountain Avenue on Saturday evening. Not much is known about
the incident, other than the individual
trucks to the city for $330,062.22, records show. The

grand total for the two trucks amounted to
$660,134.44.
The trucks will be purchased through a combination of $60,000 in grants from the Mobile Source Air
Pollution Reduction Review Committee and
$600,134.44 from the citys sanitation fund.
During public comment, Claremont resident
Eleanor Rector used her time to continue to rail
against both Measure PS and Syrian refugees.
At the tail end of the council meeting, Mayor
Corey Calaycay unveiled the creation of an ad hoc
committee to look into the possibility of new plans for
a possible police station. The committee, to be made
up of supporters of Measure PS as well as detractors,
will be discussed and voted on during the next council meeting.
City Manager Tony Ramos also had his annual performance evaluation during a closed session before
the council meeting. Mr. Calaycay noted Mr. Ramos
received high marks during the session, and will receive a performance award at the next city council
meeting.
The Claremont City Council will meet again on

Claremont
Centenarian embarks on another year of civic engagement
arilee Scaff is 100 years old, a

feat celebrated at a well-attended birthday party held this
past Saturday at the Claremont United
Church of Christ.
After decades of civic activism, the centenarian has
earned the right to put up her feet. Instead, she remains
very much in touch with the world, attending city
council meetings and working for causes she has long
held dear.
The COURIER recently visited Ms. Scaff in her
home at Pilgrim Place. It is tastefully appointed with
original artwork, including a stunning piece by
renowned local watercolorist Milford Zornes, which
she won long ago at a Democratic Club auction. She
also collects crafts, including fiber work.
We think that women in the past didnt do art. I
think that they did it with the things that needed to be
made, she said. They did it through quilting, garments and embroidery. I admire that.
Ms. Scaff surveyed the letters, bills and advertisements on her coffee table. We go in for art, she said.
We dont go in for mail, but we get it whether or not
we want it.
Theres one daily delivery she relishes, the Los Angeles Times. Its lying on the table, interrupting my
work. I read it before it can be thrown away at lunch.
Ms. Scaff also welcomes her Friday copy of the
COURIER, and can expound with authority on its
contents.
You dont have to ask twice for Ms. Scaff to talk
about water.
In 2005, she made the motion for the League of
Women Voters to conduct a water task force to create
a water study. The vote was unanimous and she became chair of the LWV Water Task Force. The undertaking was one of the driving forces behind the citys
current bid to attain its water system.
Ms. Scaff knows theres a rocky road ahead. I
learned very early on that it takes a lot of hard work to
get something accomplished, she said. If you expect
it to be easy, youll be disappointed. Still, she is convinced local water control is essential.
We should never have let the water get out of our
hands, but at the time when we started, the little southern California water company headquartered in San
Dimas seemed like just a friendly neighbor, she told
the COURIER in 2013.
Ms. Scaff is pleased by the city councils unanimous support of gaining control of the water system,
which she notes has never been more timely.
The state has passed a $700 million bond issue, primarily for the purpose of capturing storm water. The
states are working to make every community as independent of imported water as possible, she said. We
get half our water from northern California. Golden
State Water has been pumping water for Claremont. It
has permission to do it, but not if we buy the water system. Thats scheduled for court on March 7.
Dates and numbers come easily for Ms. Scaff. Lets
establish a few numbers with regards to her life. She
was born in 1915 in San Antonio, Texas. While pursuing a bachelors degree at the University of Texas, she
fell in love with fellow student Alvin Scaff. It was a
natural match. Alvin was president of the Young
Mans Christian Association. Ms. Scaff was heavily
involved in the Young Womens Christian Association.
Upon graduation, the couple headed east to pursue
graduate work at the University of Chicago. They
were married in 1938 after they received their degrees,
Ms. Scaffs in theology and social ethics.
The Scaffs soon set out out to work as teachers
under the mission board of the congregational church,
schooling children in a remote mountain village in the
Philippines, where they began their family. It was dur-

ing these years that the war began. In 1945, the Scaffs
were captured by the Japanese in a mountain raid and
placed in an internment camp.
We thought it looked pretty good compared to
some of the places we had been, Ms. Scaff told the
COURIER in 2013. It was crowded, very crowded,
but actually living out in the mountains was more dismal.
After being rescued by the 101st Airborne Division,
the Scaffs returned to the United States and settled in
Claremont in 1947. Alvin took a job as a sociology
professor at Pomona College. Marilee busied herself
raising their three children, Lawrence, Charles and
Marilyn. She also taught nursery school and served as
director of Christian education at the Claremont
Church, now the Claremont United Church of Christ.
She became involved in the local chapter of the
League of Women Voters at that time and has remained an active member ever since.
Over the years, they moved across the country,
teaching at the University of Iowa, the University of
North Carolina at Greensboro and back in the Philippines. They always returned to Claremont, however,
and always managed to make an impression on the
town.
Ms. Scaff was a teacher and then a counselor at El
Roble Intermediate School, served on the Claremont
Unified School Districts Board of Education and
earned a PhD in educational psychology from the
Claremont Graduate University. She has been a volunteer for the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden for
three decades. Ms. Scaff characterizes the last hundred
years as a time of continuous change.
Shes changed with the times, herself, and even has
a Facebook account. Readers eager to friend her beware, however. Such requests are likely to go ignored.
Now theres all this social media to tell you stuff,
she said. I dont really care if your dog has run away.
Alright, if youre my dear friend, Im very sorry.
Ms. Scaff will share, face-to-face, the way she
prefers a few political opinions. I think Obama is
doing an okay job under the circumstances, she said.
Anyone who thinks they can do a better job, stand
forward.
Her vote for our next president, if you were waiting
for her endorsement, goes to Hillary Clinton. I think
not only has she served her timeshes very experienced, but shes had a tough time, she insited. She
shows up when the days are tough.
Ms. Scaff uses a walker to get around, but shes
doing remarkably well. She is proud of what shes accomplished, but she doesnt pretend to be perfect.
Everyone has vices. Nobodys perfect, she said.
People say it doesnt apply to me, but maybe Im
compulsively hardworking. Thats a vice.
And thanks to what she guesses is a combination of
a sensible diet, an extraordinarily active life and good
genes, shes around to enjoy her 30th year at Pilgrim
Place. As she posed for a celebratory photograph, Ms.
Scaff, who was well-acquainted with late COURIER
publisher Martin Weinberger, took a moment to rib her
old friend. I used to tease Martin and say he took the
whole roll and used the worst, she said.
Asked what her greatest accomplishment is, Ms.
Scaff says its learning to cooperate.
Ive lived all over the world and worked with all
kinds of groups, she said. One can find ways to get
along with others, however strange they seem, as long
as you have sympathy or empathy for their style of
life.

You turkey!
by Mellissa Martinez
n the day after Thanksgiving, people often find themselves stuck

within the orbit of the refrigerator.
Most of us return throughout the day to procure a piece or two of cold turkey. There is
something about the unprepared meal that
tastes just as good as it did the night before
(or maybe even better). It is this undeniable
fact that led to the English expression cold
turkey.
Given that the meat could be served with no provision,
the term cold turkey became synonymous with without preparation. In the early- to mid-1900s, to quit like
cold turkey meant to cease a bad habit (initially heroin)
suddenly and without preparation. This is just one way in
which the turkey has infiltrated our language. The word
also pops up in expressions like talk turkey, jive turkey
and turkey shoot. It can also be used to emphasize nothing, as in I dont know turkey about computer programming!
Turkey shoot, or something very easy, emerged from
the disturbing WWII practice of holding marksmanship
contests where turkeys were tied behind a log with their
heads sticking up as targets. Jive turkey, an expression
from the 1970s, is a variation of jive ass. Jive was a
popular expression in the African-American vernacular
of New York City in the late 1930s, meaning not acting
right or playfully deceiving.
The meaning of talk turkey has changed over time.
In the early 1800s, it meant speak agreeably or pleasantly,
LEX
IN THE
CITY
while now it generally means to talk frankly or get down
to serious business. One source suggests that the change
happened in the late 1900s when people added cold, saying talk cold turkey (without preparation). Once the cold
was later dropped, the expression maintained a serious
edge.
There are different stories that explain the origin of talk
turkey. Some suggest that it comes from the exchange of
pleasantries over Thanksgiving or Christmas turkey. Another cites a tale in which a Yankee attempted to swindle
a Native American while dividing up a turkey and a buzzard after a hunt. The settler offered the buzzard freely,
but the wise Native American responded with something
akin to hold on a minute there, lets talk turkey.
Once a candidate for our national bird, the turkey was
named after the country of Turkey by accident. When
turkey was imported to England from the Americas in the
1520s, Europeans mistook it for the Guinea fowl, which
is native to eastern Africa. This bird had been imported to
Europe through the Ottoman Empire and hence called the
Turkey-hen. Given that the American bird closely resembled the African bird, Europeans assumed they were one
and the same and called it a turkey. After the two birds

was 24 and had been in psychoanalysis

for five years and at university for
seven. I was a second-year graduate student of Social Anthropology and I wanted a
break.
I needed a change of scene. I wanted to visit Israel. I
had Israeli friends from graduate school and they made Israel sound so alive and passionate. My parents had just
come back from living there for a short time and, from
what I heard, it seemed a very real way to meet people
and to get to know the country. Thinking I would just take
the summer off from analysis and school to explore, I
booked a plane to New York and planned to stay with my
stepmother. I made arrangements to sail to Israel on the SS

few interesting stops along the way, giving me a chance
were distinguished, turkey was retained for the American

bird, instead of the African.
At a certain point in American history, the turkey
earned a reputation for being stupid. As it turns out, there
is room for interpretation on this fact. They may seem stupid because of their widely spaced eyes, wobbly walk or
their habit of staring into the sky for long periods of time
(even in the pouring rain). It turns out that the long stares
off into space are a genetically inherited behavior and not
at all harmful to the bird. Also, their constant head tilting
comes from the fact that they have monocular vision. In
reality, they arent that dumb, they are just trying to get a
better look.
Even if unfairly assigned, the notion of stupidity has
followed them into language. In the early 1900s, a turkey
was an inferior TV show or a failing play. Since the early
1950s, turkey alone has long meant a stupid, ineffectual person. As for me, I can never hear the word turkey
without thinking of the former Claremont High School
ceramics assistant, Pat Fiddes, who used to stride across
the classroom in her tennis shorts regularly targeting any
teen who had broken the rules, YOU TURKEY! We
all laughed or scattered in fear that she might grab us with
her clay-covered hand and make us pay for throwing clay
or not cleaning our wheels. Even now, I cant think of
those times without smiling and, no doubt, a few other
turkeys do too.
Given that black Friday is all the rage these days, especially among retailers, I wonder if some years from now
the expression black turkey will come into vogue and
what it might meanone of those guys thats been

to see new parts of the world.

Before I left Los Angeles, a grad student introduced me
to a Nigerian professor and his wife. They wore their national dress printed in bold designs in bright colors. I was
immediately drawn to a culture that wore such vivid
clothing. I spent a few days showing them around the sites
of Los Angeles and they, in turn, invited me to stay with
them in Ibadan, their home town in what was then central
Nigeria. They were from the Yoruba tribe. Of course, I

said yes. When would I ever receive such an invitation
again to visit West Africa where many of my studies had
been centered?
In order to get a visa for Nigeria, I had to have my my
entire trip booked but I didnt have enough money to do
that. My stepmother lent me the required $580 for the
round trip ticket from Tel Aviv to Lagos. While at the
Nigerian Embassy in New York to get my entry visa, I
met a delegate who knew my graduate student friend. I
was welcome to stay at his house with his family, he told
me, as long as I was in Lagos.
Waving good bye to my stepmother, I climbed up the
gangplank ready to explore a world I knew nothing about.
It was the 60s and I was ready for adventure. My room
was a large eight-bedded dormitory filled with bunk beds
for eight women. The ship made stops in Madeira, Gibraltar, Athens and then reached its final destination: Haifa, Israel.
I made my way south to Ramat Gan, a small town outside of Tel Aviv where I planned to stay with a family who
had been my parents neighbors when they lived in Israel.
They made me feel at home. I had my own room but was
welcome to join in family dinners and play with their children. I learned some Hebrew from the neighborhood children, who also took me to a few historical towns like Jaffa
where we ate Falafel and walked along the sea. I was told
that I must settle in Israel and marry a bus driver. Why a

the Egged Bus Company and were set for life. Besides, in
their short shorts and rolled up shirt sleeves showing off
brown muscled limbs, they were the most handsome men
around.
After two months, it was time to fly to Nigeria for a
few weeks. I arrived in Lagos, which at that time was the
loudest, busiest, bustling city I had ever seen. My friend
met me at the plane and explained that it would not be
possible for me to stay with them, but that he had found
a wonderful home for me to stay in. It was with a woman,

A collection of Chris Darrows photography, Vanishing West, will be on display at the Ginger Elliott

Dorothy Lee, who was the head of all the

womens prisons in Nigeria. She lived in
Ikoi, the area once built for the British
when they ruled Nigeria.
Dorothy had a large, airy flat on the second floor of her building with a balcony
running around it. In the back, there was a
path that went to two small hovels where
her cook and driver lived. She took me, a
person she had never heard of, into her
home for a few weeks.
Dorothy was a large, black New Yorker
who couldnt drive a car and who was
constantly being followed by large, important tribal chiefs in their flowing robes.
They would come to her home lusting
after her and bang on the door and peer
into the windows shouting out her name.
She would push me under the beds where
we couldnt be seen and wait until the men
got bored and left.
During the day while she worked, I explored outdoor markets where everything
from food to textiles were on display. I

watched as robes and dresses were sewn

on machines operated by pumping peddles. I shopped for ancient beads and old
wooden carvings. I visited museums filled
with artifacts I had only seen in books and
documentary films.
One day, I went into an old department
store established by the British. I saw a
counter filled with hair products and
wanted to buy some hair straightener. The
girl at the counter had very straight, oiled
hair. I asked her about the product she had
used and she didnt seem to understand
me. So I pointed to her hair and said, I
want straight hair like yours. What do you
use? She shouted, wig! as she lifted it
off of her head. I kept my curls just the
way they were.
Soon it was time for me to go up to
Ibadan, the university town where my
hosts lived. My Embassy friend introduced me to a nice young man and his
wife and sister who were driving up to
Ibadan. They seemed happy to have me
drive up with them. It was the rainy sea-
son, and we got as far as the outskirts of

the city, which was flooded. There were
many men happy to help push the cars
through the flooded areafor a big price.
We had left the Yoruba tribal area and
were now in the Ibo tribal area. When our
driver said he was Ibo, the men offered to
push us through for free as they were all
tribal brothers. I sat in the back seat with
the sister while the water surged up into
our laps until we reached the other side.
Then we could drive on.
We came to a hotel where we checked
in for the night. Upon entering the restaurant, I passed by a table of British businessmen who shouted at me to sit with
my own kind in a very rude manner. I
ignored them. The next day we still could
not enter the flooded city so we turned
around and drove back to Lagos.
My last choice was to fly up to Ibadan
in a small plane.The pilot hovered over the
tops of the trees and villages below. I could
clearly see women carrying pots and baskets on their head as well as babies on their
backs. They wore brightly printed wrap
dresses and colorful head scarves. Children ran about or helped to carry baskets
and pots on their heads, too. Thatched mud
huts peaked through the trees.
In Ibadan, I was met by the professor
and his wife. It was nice to meet them

again and to be welcome in their home.
We had already spent time together in Los
Angeles and I felt comfortable being with
someone I knew. They took me to visit
other small villages I had only read about.
I ate local foods like Joloff rice, which was
too spicy for me. I bought bright native
dresses and authentic spears. We all went
to the movies in an outdoor park with children running around and picnics spread
out as if the film was the least important
part of the evening. And then it was time to
leave.
I returned to Israel and knew that I was
not yet ready to return home to the life I
left behind me. The world had opened up.
I had been to Africa, had stayed on an Israeli kibbutz, traveled around the country
seeing old cities, and I loved it all. I felt
free.
I wrote to my parents and told them that
I would be staying on for a few more
months but had no specific plans. I thought
that perhaps after finishing my graduate
degree I might return to Israel and settle
down and be a part of its growth and development. I was not aware at that point
that this decision would change the course
of my life, but in a different way from how
I had planned it.
Georgia Warden
OBITUARIES
Gifted vocalist, influential teacher

Georgia Lee Warden, a lifetime resident of Claremont, died on November 3,
2015. She was 84 and still living in the
home in the Russian Village that her father purchased in 1938.
She was born in 1931 at Pomona Valley Hospital to Earle Knights Bunker
and Thelma Mae Looschen. Her father
was in banking and her mother was a
homemaker. Georgia was a lifelong
member of Claremont United Church of
Christ, Congregational, and was fond of
telling friends that she had played the infant Jesus in the Christmas manger
scene there.
She was quite active while attending
Claremont High School, playing tennis,
serving as song-leader and engaging in
competitive roller-skating, an activity
that was memorialized in family albums
with photographs of her undertaking
daring jumps.
Georgia began taking vocal lessons
early on and by high school, her lessons
with her lifelong voice coach Margery
Briggs were yielding promising results.
She was a real student of lieder, a German style of music consisting of romantic poems set to classical music by legendary composers. Often performed
with just a single vocalist and a pianist,
the genre was well suited to her soaring
soprano.
Following her graduation in 1949, she
enrolled in a summer orchestra program.
She was playing bass in the ensemble,
while a likely looking young man
named Leslie Les Warden was playing
trumpet. A romance was kindled between the two musicians and they were
married in 1950, shortly before Georgias 19th birthday. The couple soon
welcomed two sons, Christopher and
Jeffrey.
Georgia and Les, who was a profes-
sional musician who played with big

bands, believed it was important for his
children to have a musical background.
Chris recalls taking piano and trumpet
lessons as a child and says he and her
brother were constantly surrounded by
music. Each year, they would travel to
the home of fellow CUCC parishioner
Dave Blanchard, who actually had a
pipe organ in his home, for a Christmas
sing-along.
My brother and I would hole up in
the bedroom we shared and listen to my
parents warming up for choir, Chris recalled. Jeff died at age 14 of complications from asthma, a devastating loss for
the family.
Mrs. Warden began taking classes at
the Claremont Colleges, followed by
courses at San Bernardino State. Even as
a busy young mother and student, Mrs.
Warden didnt give up her musical aspirations. When Chris was in fourth grade
and Jeffrey in second, Les work took
the family to San Francisco for three
years. Georgia auditioned for the San
Francisco Opera and began performing
chorale work. In 1963, she performed

the role of Orlinde in Wagners Die
Walkre.
She won a contest at the Redlands
Bowl in 1957, just in time to kick off the
venues 35th anniversary. Her program
included songs like Mozarts Alleluia
and Ritorna Vincitor from Aida,
with her teacher Ms. Briggs at the piano.
Georgias performance was lauded in a
San Bernardino Sun article, which characterized her sound as a voice of velvet
richness in the low register and of brilliance in the coloratura. In 1990, Georgia earned a doctorate from the Claremont Graduate School. For her thesis,
she tackled the heady subject of German
lieder, Richard Strauss Zueignung:
background and comparison of seven
recordings.
In the 1970s, Mrs. Warden became a
classroom teacher at Oakmont School,
followed by a post as a reading specialist
at Sycamore School. Given her background, Georgiawho was heavily influenced by the Orff school of teachingvolunteered to teach music as well.
The form of teaching combines movement and music during sessions that feel
more like play than studying. During
their early stages of instruction, Orff
pupils are encouraged to make music
without worrying about learning to read
notes. Devotees of the teaching discipline believe the early freedom lead to
greater musical enthusiasm and a faster
learning curve.
The school budget didnt allow for the
purchase of many of the tools called for
by Orff instruction, but Mrs. Warden
was undeterred, acquiring many instruments over the years. She was particularly big on teaching the recorder, a wind
instrument that is elementary in some
ways but can be complex to play. She
began collecting recorders, amassing
dozens upon dozens over the years.
After retiring from the Claremont
Unified School District in the early 90s,
Georgia taught music at Foothill Country Day School for a number of years.
We kept kidding her, asking when she
was going to get her gold watch and sit

in her rocking chair, but it wasnt going
to happen, Chris said.
Church continued to be central to the
Wardens, with Georgia serving as a soprano soloist and Les singing bass with
the CUCC choir for decades. In the 90s
and early 2000s, Mrs. Warden was choir
director and also, for a time, served as
director of the childrens choir.
Butch Henderson, who was senior
pastor for at CUCC for 20 years, came
to know the Wardens, whom he called
a beautiful duo, quite well.
Georgias personality and her graciousness were as lovely as her voice.
She gave both of herself and of her talents very generously, he recalled. She
gave herself completely to anything she
was involved in. She was an all-in kind
of person, and always seemed so much
younger than her age.
In a recent tribute, music teacher
Charlotte Van Ryswyk recalled Georgias mentorship as she started her on
her way with directing the CUCC childrens choir. She introduced me to the
world of Orff-Schulwerk and together
we figured out how to produce musicals
with young kids, a stage, a piano, some
fabric and many laughs, she recalled.
Georgia also sang locally with the
Ronfeld Chorale, the Claremont Symphony Orchestra, which recently
awarded the chanteuse its Lifetime
Achievement Award. She sang in and directed some 30 programs with the
Pomona Valley Musicians Club over the
years, serving as PVMCs president
from 2008 to 2010.
Mr. and Mrs. Warden enjoyed many
adventures together, including traveling
to perform in a Hadyn festival in Austria
every year for 20 years. Earlier on they
had caught the bug at a music program
in Germany. Shortly after his marriage,
Chris and his wife Iris, who is a native
German, joined the couple in Munich
near the end of that event.
It was an opportunity to meet the

Anne Natale Damico
OBITUARIES
Beloved wife, educator, mother and grandmother

Claremont resident Anne Damico died
Wednesday, November 18 in Claremont.
She was 89.
Anne Natale, the second child of Anthony and Mary Natale, was born in
Chester, Pennsylvania. She spent her
early life there and attended Chester High
School, where she was a member of the
cheerleading team. Upon high school
graduation, she accepted a position as
secretary to the principle of Smedley Junior High School. It was there Anne met
her husband-to-be, Gabriel, who was a
beginning teacher at the junior high.
The Damicos married in October 1951
and, as the story goes, the local school
board played cupid, granting the couple
a full months leave to begin their wonderful life together. Their marriage began
with a honeymoon in Miami, Florida, and
included a trip to pre-Castro Cuba.
In 1963, Gabriel Damico accepted a
position teaching science at Claremont

High School. The family was off to a new
life and a new experience in sunny California. Ms. Damico enrolled at Pomona
College as an older student and graduated
with a bachelors degree. She continued
her studies at the Claremont Graduate
University earning her masters degree in
English and a teaching credential, all this
time being a wife and a mom to her two
children. After graduating from CGU,
Ms. Damico accepted a teaching position
at Claremont High School.
Anne and her husband enjoyed travel
and exploring the world. A lifelong
learner, Ms. Damicos educational pursuits were endlessshe studied the
works of Shakespeare at Oxford University in England, French language and culture at the Sorbonne in Paris, France, and
art and music at the Dante Alighieri Institute in Florence, Italy.
GEORGIA WARDEN/from previous page
younger Mrs. Wardens sizeable family,

and for Georgia and Les to perform for
the patriarch of their daughter-in-laws
family. Half the town turned out for this
thing, Chris recalled. We were in
Steinwenden in Western Germany and
my mom sang lieder. That stuff melts
every German heart.
Jim Penn was Mrs. Wardens friend
and companion for the past dozen years,
as well as being a fellow singer in the
CUCC church choir. Ensconced in an
apartment Georgias father had built for
his mother-in-law, Mr. Penn enjoyed her
company.
She had a keen sense of humor and a
bit of an edge to her personality, he
shared. Ill be honest; she was a teacher
and opera singer and she did have an
outside voice, which could be quite
large. She was a conservative person but
was also always generous to a fault. I

cant tell you how many people she
helped over the years.
She also had an endless attitude of optimism.
In her last years, her health was failing, Mr. Penn said. Whenever someone would ask her how she was doing,
she would always smile and say, Im
doing better.
On November 7, members of the
CUCC Choir performed Down to the
River to Pray in memory of Mrs. Warden, while the Joyful Voices performed
There is a Balm in Gilead.
Ms. Warden is survived by her son
Chris, daughter-in-law Iris and grandchildren Stephanie, Derek and Christopher.
A memorial service is being planned
for a date in January.
Ms. Damico taught for 18 years and,

after retirement, knew her work wasnt
done. She became a volunteer at the
Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center
working with cancer patients at the Cancer Center. She gave her time freely, asking nothing in return, knowing she gave
new hope for those suffering with cancer,
her family shared. She experienced a full
and happy life. Anne made this earth a little more beautiful just by being there.
Anne Damico is survived by her husband, Gabriel, by her daughter, Denise
Damico-Ivy, her son, Mark Damico and
her son-in-law, Joe Ivy. She is also survived by two grandchildren, Devlin
Damico-Ivy and Sophie Rose Damico.
In Annes honor, the family asks that
donations be sent to The Alzheimers Association to support Alzheimers disease
research and to write to your legislators
to help wipe out this disease.
Edla Becker
A memorial service for Edla Becker
of Claremont will be held Saturday, December 12 at 1 p.m. at the Pilgrim Congregational Church, 600 N. Garey
Avenue. Mrs. Becker died Friday, November 20. She was 76.
After starting her career at Pomona
First Federal Bank, Mrs. Becker then
joined the staff of the Claremont Unified School District, first working in ad-
missions at El Roble Intermediate

School then in the career center at
Claremont High School.
Mrs. Becker is survived by her children Eric, Aaron and his wife Alina,
and Gerrit and his wife Charlene. She is
also survived by three grandchildren,
Hannah, Morgan and Braiden.
A full obituary will appear in a future
edition of the COURIER.

Wolfpack waterpolo falls short in CIF finals

SPORTS
efore the start of the CIF Southern

Section Division 5 championship
game on Saturday, Claremont
Coach Kristin Rodriguez said she hoped
that suggestions that the Pack did not deserve to be ranked number-one would get
under the skin of her players.
Something did seem to get under their skin, however,
the result was not a repeat victory for Claremont. CHS
was narrowly defeated, 7-5, by Redlands East Valley in
front of a sell-out crowd at William Woollett Jr. Aquatic
Center in Irvine.
It was the Wildcats night with a pool full of freshmen
including their starting goalkeeper Harrison Land, who
had a remarkable 14 saves with key stops in the fourth
quarter when CHS was fighting to stay alive. Freshman
Chad Gornay would score twice and Nicholas Flemington would get a key goal in the third.
Harrison became a starter once our senior goalie got
hurt in the last game of the season, he has been phenomenal, it is unbelievable how much talent that kid
has, said Wildcat Coach Ryan Williams.
Claremont came out strong, with senior Johnathon
Wong scoring in the first minute. But if fans thought
they were about to witness a blowout it would soon be
clear that was not going to happen as the Wildcats
evened the score a minute later.
That is how the game went for the first half with
Claremont pulling ahead by one and Redlands East Valley tying. Claremont even had a 3-2 advantage at the
half, but the third quarter was a game changer.
The Wildcats scored first when Zachary Jenson took
advantage of an exclusion to tie the game after only a
few seconds in the pool. From there, Redlands East Valley controlled the momentum. But good defensive play
by Claremont kept the score tied until Gornay gave
Redlands their first lead with two minutes to go in the
quarter. In all, Redlands East Valley outscored Claremont 4-1 in the third, including a heart-breaker when
Jenson beat CHS goalkeeper Kellan Grant at the buzzer.
That goal defeated the Pack, who were down by three
and facing a very tough foe. It became an insurmountable task to get the goals needed to win, but Claremont
did try.
The Pack looked a bit desperate by taking too many
wild shots but their talent was undeniable. Bruno Snow
scored first followed by Wong making it a 5-6 game
with ample time on the clock. But REV played the waiting game, winding down the clock and forcing Clare-

mont to foul, which resulted in another exclusion. The

Wildcats took advantage as Jared Gornay scored the last
goal of the game, sealing his teams victory
I think we were afraid of something, Coach Rodriguez said after the game. It looked like we were
shooting on our back. We were hesitant. We know we
can beat this team but not tonight.
A jubilant Wildcat squad, including Coach Williams,
jumped into the pool to celebrate. Afterward, there was
an awards ceremony with a subdued Claremont team
taking the runner-up medals.
We believed all year we were good enough to get to
the finals, Coach Williams said of the Wildcats win.
Our seniors brought the leadership, and they got the
whole team to believe. Once that happened, we were
unstoppable.
Even though Claremont did not repeat last years
title, the Pack still had a remarkable season going undefeated in the Palomares League and gaining a 22-8
overall record. With several key players returning, including star driver Snow and sophomore Ian Waasdorp,
the 2016 season could be another big one for Claremont.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE
requests that Wilani George be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the
decedent.
THE PETITION requests authority
to administer the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will
allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before
taking certain very important actions, however,
the personal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless they have
waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority
will be granted unless an interested person files
an objection to the petition and shows good cause
why the court should not grant the authority.
A HEARING on the petition will be
held on Dec. 10, 2015 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No.
79 located at 111 N. Hill St., Los Angeles, CA
90012.

the petition, you should appear at the hearing and
legalads@claremont-courier.com 909.621.4761

with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a
contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file
your claim with the court and mail a copy to the
personal representative appointed by the court
within the later of either (1) four months from the
date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b)
of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to
you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal
authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You
may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept
by the court. If you are a person interested in the
estate, you may file with the court a Request for
Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an
inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any
petition or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form
is available from the court clerk.

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 recorder's 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 916-939-0772 for information
regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet
Web site www.nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using
the file number assigned to this case
20120015001935. 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. FOR TRUSTEE SALE INFORMATION PLEASE CALL:

The recent sale of our Claremont home presented some very

unique challenges. Carlos and Pat handled my former home
as if it were their own. They kept me informed,
responded with professionalism and reassurance, and made
sure that as their customers, my ex-husband and I were their
top priority. The house ended up selling for higher than
asking price. I recommend Carlos and Pat Samuelson with
complete confidence and a heart full of gratitude.
