Cooper as interim is wrongDear Editor:
The older I get, the more I realize thatwhat is legal is not necessarily ethical. Iunderstand that it is perfectly legal to hirePaul Cooper as the interim police chiefbut, in my opinion, it is clearly wrong.
Our city council needs to realize that totaxpayers, all public employee salariesare an expense and we really do not carethat some of it comes from one bucketand some from another.
In my opinion, city leadership shouldalways have had a contingency plan forMr. Coopers retirement. The right thingfor Mr. Cooper to have done would havebeen to give the city six months noticeand then let them look for an interimchief during that time period. This wouldhave avoided Chief Cooper collectingtwo paychecks from the taxpayers.
The fact that our council did not con-sider someone from within the depart-ment and just assumed that Mr. Cooper
may as well be interim chief because itwould just be another other retired chiefanyway, shows how they have fallen intothe trap of public finance complacency.
These are the same people that recentlybacked a $50 million bond to construct apolice station that residents clearlythought was too costly. This is the samecouncil who promoted a $135 millionbond to purchase a water company. Thisreally needs to be rethought now that wehave all realized we can live with 30 per-cent less water.
In my opinion, hiring Mr. Cooper afterhe has just retired is taking advantageof the system. The Claremont City Coun-cil has just gone right along with this of-
fense. Even if another city would haveswooped Mr. Cooper up as an interim, at
least it would not have been our councilcontributing to this fiscal crime.

Displacing Renwick a bad moveDear Editor:
Pomona College now proposes movingRenwick House on College Avenue tomake room for an art museum. Becausethis change in their proposed master planoccurred after the original draft EIR wassubmitted, that portion of the plan hasbeen rewritten.
Unfortunately, the new draft does notinclude placing the museum somewhereeast of College Avenue as one of the alter-natives, and it should. The document saysthat Pomona does not consider this agood option and therefore has excluded itfrom consideration.
The preference of an applicant, how-ever, is not an acceptable reason for omit-ting a viable alternative from an EIR. An
EIR always presents several possibilities inaddition to the one the applicant wants, in-cluding the alternative of no project. Sit-ing the museum east of College and leav-ing Renwick House where it has alwaysbeen should be included as an alternative.
The public has until December 3 to sub-mit comments to the city about the alteredEIR. You can read what Claremont Her-itage has to say about locating the newmuseum in their October 2015 preserva-tion update (www.claremontheritage.org)and find a link to the new draft EIR on thecity website (www.ci.claremont.ca.us).
Please let the city know that this alter-native should be included for considera-tion along with the ones currently listed in
the draft EIR. Sue SchenkClaremont

Low-income housing talk heats up as city finalizes housing elemen
The Claremont City Council held a spe-cial joint meeting with the PlanningCommission Tuesday to discuss re-
newing the citys housing element, with low-and very low-income housing taking cen-ter stage.
The meeting, as outlined by Community Services Di-rector Brian Desatnik, was not convened to develop anytype of brick-and-mortar housing. Rather, its purpose wasto identify parcels of land throughout the city that could
contain certain types of residential zones to fulfill staterequirements.We are not evaluating actual development propos-
als, Mr. Desatnik said. What this is, is a housing plan,which is part of our general plan.
The council approved two parcels out of the five pre-sentedthe old golf course at 1550 N. Indian Hill cur-rently owned by the Claremont Colleges, and a site nearthe corner of Foothill and Monte Vista along the east-ern border of Claremont and Upland.
The golf course site, presented to council as site three,is zoned Institutional Educational. Student and facultyhousing, which can be built on the site, count toward thecitys housing requirement. In order for the state to ac-cept the zone, the city would have to pass an amendmentto bypass the conditional use permit requirement to buildmulti-family housing on the property. According to city
documents, Claremont only needs six acres of the31.5-acre property to qualify, at about 23 units per acre.Site four is 9.5 acres and is zoned as Business/In-
dustrial. For the state to accept this lot, a high-densityresidential zone overlay would have to be applied. Thelot could still be developed as mixed-use, but the over-lay opens the door for potential residential development.
According to city documents, Claremonts RealHousing Needs Assessment (RHNA) target, or its regionalshare, is 373 housing units49 units for extremely-low-income, 49 for very-low income, 59 for other low-income,64 for moderate-income and 152 for above-moderate-income. However, the city has not met RHNA numbersby a total of 157 units, with up to 30 units per acre of par-cel land.
To satisfy the state, potential low-income units mustcome as part of new development. Of the seven hous-
ing developments recently constructed or currently in theplanning phase in Claremont, none offer low-income
units. Some inclusionary housing exists on Base LineRoad, however, the units are either moderate- or above-moderate income. Affordable housing developmentoccurs during the planning stageslargely by requestof the planning commission or city councilas devel-opers submit design plans.
According to Mr. Desatnik, Claremont is one of 11cities in Los Angeles County that are currently not in com-pliance with the state in regards to an updated housingelement. Claremonts previous due date for a HousingElement Update was February 2014.
If the city continues to operate on an expired housingelement, the state could levy penalties, including halt-ing all development within the city.
Courier Place does not count toward the new housingelement. Mr. Desatnik explained that once the old planexpires, the units associated with that plan do not counttoward the new plan.
Many of the citizens who spoke during public com-ment were concerned with the inclusion of a 7.2-acre par-cel near the southwest corner of Indian Hill and ArrowHighway. Some, like Bob Gerecke, wished the city wouldscatter low-income housing, as opposed to concentratingthe units all in one development.
Many cities have found that locating a large numberof low-income units on a single site is a disaster, a socialdisaster, Mr. Gerecke said. It results in the developmentof a subculture there with negative effects on public healthand safety.
Mr. Gerecke emphasized that distributing low-incomehousing throughout the city will allow for more integra-tion of low-income residents within the community.
Dick Tipping concurred, telling the council that applyinga low-income concentration in one spot is bad policy,and it is also bad for your health.
Other speakers lamented the south Claremont location,telling the council more low-income sites should be lo-cated in the northern part of the city, above Base Line.
We, south of the border, or south of the railroad tracks,have met our quota and beyond as far as low-income hous-ing, resident Vivian Servant said. So I would appreci-ate it if you really just take site five off from considera-tion completely.
Resident Ed Leavell gathered a 64-signature petition,to get the city to discard the Arrow Highway site from thelist.
In response to Mr. Gereckes comment about creatingnumerous smaller sites, Mr. Desatnik explained that thestate of California would not accept such small parcels.
This goes back to our state requirements; the size that .8-acre site we have on Harrisonwe had a realtough time getting them to accept a site that small, MDesatnik said, referring to a parcel on Harrison and Cambridge that has been used since 2009 to satisfy the staterequirement. Thats about the smallest they would acept.
The council and commission members ultimately tothe Arrow Highway site off the list. Commission member Cynthia Humes suggested the site could be used fa mixed-use development, while commission membJames Jackson envisioned the property as a potential V
lage South commercial area.Mr. Jackson noted that Tri-City Mental Health will providing two new units on Base Line for families, anwondered if those units would count toward the city373-unit quota.
Those two units, my understanding is they are beinmade affordable to low-income households, Mr. Desatnsaid. But theres no covenance attached to those. I donbelieve those would qualify for the credits.
Opanyi Nasiali took issue with the notion that Clarmonts low-income housing could be pushed to the ouskirts of the city, away from the center of town, shouthe Monte Vista property be selected.
You all talk about having affordable housing in thcity, and when we come to a discussion like this, everbody says, Not in my neighborhood, Mr. Nasiali saiWe cant have our cake and eat it, too. If you truly blieve in having affordable housing for everybody, the community should be willing to seriously consider that anbe willing to say, Yeah, well take some.
Mr. Nasiali also took aim at the entire process itsecalling it nothing more than a game.
Either we are serious about it, or were not. And I havto say the state is not serious about it either, Mr. Nasiasaid. They tell us to go through this exercise, and ththey wait and see what happens. They still allow dvelopment to take place. What happens when we run oof development? We stop. And so, were playing a game
In the end, the council and commission voted to movforward with the old golf course and the Monte Vista Aenue property.
The council will meet throughout December to fintune the new draft Housing Element, which will then bvetted by CEQA and sent to the State Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) for review.

Rosemary AdamTeacher, writer, free spirit
Rosemary Adam, a longtime Claremontresident and former teacher at Clare-mont High School, died on November 11,2015. She was 82.
She was born on June 19, 1933 in Ban-gor, Maine to Louis and Amelia Ferris, theoldest of three children. Rosemary was
valedictorian of her junior high schoolclass and was a cheerleader and votedMost Popular Girl at John Bapst HighSchool. In a 1971 profile in ClaremontHigh Schools El Espiritu yearbook, Ms.Adam wrote with humor about her aus-picious beginnings. Once, I won a draw-ing at a dance and my prize was a livegoose. My life could only go up fromthere.
Ms. Adam fell in love with writingwhen she was quite youngI have nochoice. Its innate, she told the COURI-ER in 2003and set her sights on help-ing young people express themselvesthrough the written word. After attendingthe University of Maine and Syracuse Uni-
versity, she became a teacher, assigned to8th and 9th grade English.
Susan Hansen met Ms. Adam when shetaught for a semester at her Connecticuthigh school, providing a breath of fresh air.It was the middle 50s, a time thatwas drab and conservative. She was nei-ther of these, Ms. Hansen recalled. Ofcourse, she respected teacher-studentboundaries, but she was friendly andopen to our ideas and very generouswith her enthusiasm and support.
After Ms. Adam married, she took aleave from teaching to raise her three chil-dren, Cynthia, Matt and Mark. Later, shereturned to the classroom and earned amasters degree from California State
Polytechnic University Pomona. A pop-ular teacher at CHS, she taught Americanliterature and creative writing. Her class-es were freewheeling exercises in free-thinking. She was a rebel, showing PinkFloyds The Wall in a class at ClaremontHigh and pretending she didnt know itwas rated R, her daughter Cynthia Pro-chaska recalled in her mothers eulogy.
Several of Ms. Adams students wenton to become notable writers, includingsongwriter Ben Harper and John Darnielle,a musician and writer best known for hisband The Mountain Goats. Last year, Mr.Darnielle dedicated his debut novel, Wolfin White Van, to three of his early teach-ers, Rosemary among them.
Leslie Overman, who graduated fromCHS in 1986, remembers being im-pressed by the fact that her teacher had aregular column, Adam in Print, whichappeared in the COURIER.
Classes were very fun. Wed get upand we would read things that we had writ-ten aloud, she said. Rosemary would notonly give corrective criticism, she wouldhelp inspire us. She was very sexy. She hada deep voice. I had a female crush on her.
That resonant voice made an impressionon peers as well. In an online tribute, LynnLary, a math teacher who counted Ms.Adam as a colleague and a friend, ex-pounded on the exoticism of her voice.
Always one to be mysterious, she nev-
er disclosed her ethnicity and she had avoice that she most likely developed to
sound sultry, like one of the old-time movie stars, she wrote. I al-ways assumed that she was somepart Middle-Eastern; she always
said that she was, from Brazil,where the nuts come from.
Ms. Lary was in her 20s andMs. Adam was close to 60 at thetime of their acquaintance, butthere was no feeling of the stuffyelder. Occasionally, she would
join Ms. Adam on a fishing ex-cursion or attend a dinner party ather house, the evening marked bythe smell of wood-smoke fromRosemarys wood-burning stove.She remembers the older teacheras being edgy, quirky, provoca-tive and thoughtful.
Jean Collinsworth, a CHS col-league, most appreciated Ms.
Adams fiery spirit and opennessto new ideas.
Rosemary championed cre-ativity and free speech all her life,and was writing and creating artup until the end, she said. Sheloved Fitzgerald and Heming-way and cooking and anything avant-garde. She was famous for having a ballof string in her classroom that grew andgrew and grew as students added contri-butions.
In 1994, Ms. Adam was named CHSTeacher of the Year and was a semi-finalistfor California Teacher of the Year. She re-tired the following year, after more than22 years with the district.
Rosemary, who studied with venerableClaremont poet Virginia Hamilton Adairand Jean Burden, who was poetry editorfor Yankee magazine, wrote prolificallythroughout and after her academic career.
Her poems were printed in literary pub-lications such as Pen Women, Fern, Cal-ifornia Poetry Quarterly, After Dark,
Earthworks, Spectato,Dreamers State andCalifornia English. She gave poetry read-ings throughout the state, often in con-
junction with the poet Nancy Edwards.The women appeared at local galleries andcolleges, as well as further afield. Theirpresentations at the Yosemite Conferenceat the Ahwanee Hotel yielded a co-writ-ten book, A Poetry Reading at Yosemite.
(1984)In 2003, the COURIER interviewed
Ms. Adam as she prepared to present herpoetry as part of the Claremont Library Po-etry Series. She said that when crafting po-ems, she drew inspiration from greatAmerican writers like Emily Dickinson,Walt Whitman and Robert Frost, as wellas from nature. Nature is everything, she
said. Its in my backyard, in my neigh-borhood, its the birds.
Rosemary is survived by her daughterand son-in-law, Cynthia Adam Prochas-ka and Alan Prochaska); her son anddaughter-in-law, Matthew Adam andKelley Regan; and her son Mark Adam.
She also leaves behind her grandchil-dren, Chris Adam, Kimberly Adam, EvanProchaska, Amy Prochaska, Chayce Re-gan and Charlie Regan. She is also sur-vived by her brothers David Ferris andMark Ferris.
A memorial for Ms. Adam will be heldtoday, Friday, November 20, at 11 a.m. atthe Claremont Womens Club, 343 W.Twelfth St. in Claremont.

Claremont COURIER/Friday, November 20, 2015
John Darnielle is a noted musi-cian and author best known for hiswork with the band The MountainGoats. Mr. Darnielle, who gradu-ated from Claremont High Schoolin 1985, was deeply influenced by
his creative writing teacher Rose-mary Adam. Upon learning of Ms.
Adams death, he sent the followingtribute to the COURIER.
Last night we played to about500 people in Bristol, Eng-land. From the stage I can
see people singing along to oursongs; during the better-knownnumbers, I can hear them, too, all
joining together to sing things Iwrote.
Its an incredibly rewardingand validating feeling, and ithappens night after nightnotevery night, all tours have theirups and downsbut oftenenough that I try to make apoint to stop and reflect on it atleast once a day. Its a blessing,a huge honor and privilege.
It is no exaggeration to saythat none of this would havehappened had I not enrolled inRosemary Adams ManuscriptWriting for Publication atClaremont High School in1982. It was a class for juniorsand seniors; I was a freshman,so I had to petition to be admit-ted. Petitioning was an unof-ficial process; all you had to dowas make an appointment tosee Ms. Adam and tell herabout your work. I want to bea writer, I told her in her officein the 800 quadit had beenmy single ambition since I wasabout six years old.
She answered very quickly,waving her hand, moving the con-versation along: You are a writer,is what she said, and its hard to tellthis story without making it soundmore dramatic a moment than itwasbecause she was saying it tocasually but utterly dispel this no-tion that a writer is something youbecome, that its a condition towhich you have to aspire. For Rose-mary, if you wrote, then you were awriter: that was the end of the hunt.Youd already arrived at your desti-nation by setting out on the firststep of the journey.
This is a very powerful bit ofnews for a young and, at the time,very bad writer. I thought prettyhighly of my work, but it was terri-ble; its sole virtue was the heat ofthe desire it reflected, my need tosay something that somebody elsemight take pleasure in hearing, tohave the effect on others that thewriters I loved were having on me.
By taking my poems and storiesseriouslyby talking about them asif they merited serious discussion

The Claremont HighSchool girls volleyballteam won one match
but then lost one, effectivelyending their CIF bid.
Last Thursday, the Lady Pack wres-tled a hard-fought victory out of visit-ing Palm Desert, 3-1. The win put themdirectly in line to take on top-rankedLouisville High onSaturday. In anothervery close match,Claremont suffereda tough loss to the Royals, 3-1, puttingan end to a successful season.
Palm Desert came to Claremont hop-ing to erase the memories of losing tothe Pack in last years CIF tournamentand, as a narrow favorite, they hadgood reason to be optimistic.
However, Claremont came out strongand quickly built up a four-point leadthat they held until Palm Desert camealive and tied the score at 18. Helpedby many errors from the Aztecs, whomay have been suffering from playoff
jitters, Claremont then went on a scor-ing spree, putting the set away 25-19.
The second set was a reversal of thefirst, with Palm Desert dominating themomentum, and it was Claremontsturn to make some unforced errors.About halfway through, the Packseemed to write this one off as theAztecs scored twice for every Clare-mont point, resulting in a 17-25 loss.
Between sets the Claremont teamperformed a special chant that juniorSimone Bliss later described as the mo-tivational turning point for the night. Itseemed to work as the third set was a
complete blowout at 25-16.Sensing defeat, the Aztecs gave
everything they had in the fourth andfinal set, resulting in some excellentplay. In all, the score was tied six timewith the Aztecs pulling ahead each timuntil it really mattered. Tied again at
18, Claremont managed to get a tinylead, which they maintained all the wato the finish line and the 25-23 victory
Bliss deserves a best of game awardfor her 26 kills, many coming at clutchmoments when the Pack really neededa boost. Senior Georgie Jackson alsohad a great night with 29 digs, as didsophomore Emilee Rohrer with her 12kills.
After the Palm Desert victory, Claremont coach Mark Mina reflected on thwin and the road ahead.
Getting into the quarter-finals wasour goal and [the opportunity] to go uagainst the number-one team, which iLouisville, he said. Of course we al
ways want to win. We didnt play ascrisp as we have been playing but a wis a win.
After losing the second set, CoachMina told his team to, Go do ourWolfpack cheer, and it seemed towork, according to Bliss. It was a littbit stressful but Georgie had us do a really big cheer and that carried over in the next game, she said.
Fortunes shifted in the Louisvillegame as the Royals took the first set25-23 and Claremont came back withwinning second with 25-21. The Packfought bravely to keep in the game bulost the next two sets, 21-25 and 17-25

Claremont COURIER/Friday, November 20, 2015 2
She lives for the ball. Thats my owner,COURIER reporter Matthew Bramlett,talking about me. My names Daisy. Im
an 8-year-old Boston Terrier. I came from a Boston
Terrier rescue in Yucaipa. Im black-and-white, andI have a little stub tail. Im really social. I constantlywant to be around people.
Did I mention that I love playing with balls?Whenever I see my owner Matt, I grab the ball andwalk over. Then I do that stare that people cant re-sist. If Matt still doesnt respond when hes on thecomputer, I stare even longer. Then comes the stagewhere I get a little mad at him. I drop down to theplay stance and start barking.
Her bark is like a fierce burp, says Matt. I haveno idea what he just said, although I hope its acompliment.
When I do get to go outside, I think its playtime!I get ready in my play stance again. Of course, Iadmit that I get tricked by the ball sometimes. ButI keep playing! So far, Ive gone through three balls.
I consider that a huge accomplishment.Every so often, Matts family will take me on walks.
I dont like strangersI usually bark at them. How-ever, if I notice that my owners are friendly to thestranger, Ill take the hint and be nice too.
Oh, by the way, did I tell you what I get to eat?Matts mom feeds me raw meat. She buys tubes ofground beef for me. On the other paw, I dont thinkMatt thinks its the best for me.
Matt lives with his brother Jon. Matts gone mostof the time. Im the closest to Jon, though. I likesleeping in his room and I follow him around all thetime. I can pretty much go anywhere around thehouse, except for my moms room.
What are some things I like? Well, my grand-mothers dog Lucy comes over, and we have a good
time playing together. I also love getting my backscratched.Oh, I think I hear Matt calling my name! Gotta go!

Claremont Real Estate Market Snapshot
The October market showed the first signs of slowing a bit in terms of sales. Claremont dropped from
36 sales in September to 28 in October, which is slightly down from this time last year. Prices still
seem to be consistent with the increases 2015 has seen over 2014. Homes are taking a bit longer
to sell than before. The best news is that the number of distressed sales in 2015 have been on av-
erage at one a month. This is a great sign and shows that economic recovery has brought prices back
up enough so that the majority of people are no longer underwater on their mortgages. As the holi-
day season approaches, we will likely see slower times in terms of the number of homes sold and
average days on market That said, buyers are still out there wanting to buy. Those who are house
hunting during the holidays tend to be more serious buyers who really want, or in some cases need,
to buy before the year ends. Until next month...Happy Thanksgiving!
