Long range goals of wildernesspark master planDear Editor:

The draft master plan for the WildernessPark contains much to be applauded. It seeksto balance the concerns of various stake-holders, it recommends an enlarged rangerstaff with increased duties and powers, it en-courages the establishment of a robust vol-unteer program and it includes a resourcemanagement plan for dealing with invasivespecies, trail erosion and habitat restoration.

But the value of any plan depends not juston the good ideas it contains, but on their suc-cessful implementation. Countless individualdecisions will be necessary in order to trans-late the master plan’s general goals into spe-cific actions. Determining which informaltrails should be closed and which should berepaired, evaluating whether or not a partic-ular parking policy has been successful, de-ciding which invasive species to eradicateand which to allow—all these, as well as un-known future problems and challenges, willconfront those responsible for park opera-tions and maintenance.

Since the master plan is meant to guidepark management for more than 20 years, itis appropriate that its pages not be clutteredwith the details of these kinds of specific de-cisions. Rather, the plan should provide a

general structural framework for how to dealwith problems and decisions as they arise.

Responsibility for park operations shouldbe in the hands of a park manager—perhapsthe senior ranger—rather than falling on theshoulders of already-overworked city staff.An experienced individual with appropriatebackground in park management could dealwith day-to-day issues and also provide lead-ership in prioritizing the different elements inthe resource management plan.

Although policy decisions would continueto be made by the Community and HumanServices Commission and city staff, thiswould focus major responsibility in an indi-vidual who has daily, hands-on knowledge ofthe conditions and problems in the park.

Finally, we recommend the establishmentof an advisory group of representative stake-holders, perhaps organized under the “Friendsof CHWP,” which would meet periodicallywith the park manager or designated staffmember.

As city staff and consultants work to fi-nalize the master plan, we ask that consider-ation be given to these ideas for developinga stronger, more coherent governance struc-ture for the park.

Jay Cordes and hiswife Catherine Capo-rale shred bread tomake stuffing on Tues-day as a team of volun-teers help prepare forthe 22nd annualThanksgiving Dayfeast at St. AmbroseEpiscopal Church inClaremont.

The effort is supportedin part from commu-nity sponsors includ-ing St. Ambrose, LifeBaptist Fellowship,Claremont Presbyte-rian Church, TempleBeth Israel, the city ofClaremont, the GapFood Bank, KiwanisClub of Claremont,Claremont Sunrise Ro-tary, Pilgrim Congrega-tional Church andGolden State Water.Also the feast wouldnever take place with-out the labor providedby scores of volun-teers.

Council approves new police officer, increased speed limitsNew speed limits, a request for an ad-

ditional police officer and a positiveupdate on the city’s economic sus-

tainability report were on the agenda dur-ing a lean city council meeting on Tuesday,November 24.

The two main administrative items before the coun-cil were a request from Claremont Po-lice Chief Paul Cooper for an additionalmember of his force, and an update fromCity Finance Director Adam Pirrie on the better-than-expected financial situation of the city.

According to Chief Cooper, the Claremont PoliceDepartment—which counts 38 sworn officers, detec-

tives, lieutenants and others among its ranks—is in direneed of extra help. Five of those officers are currentlyon leave due to injury. To fill these vacancies, Mr.Cooper said the department has had to temporarily re-assign detectives to patrol positions, “for weeks at atime, rotating through the entire detective bureau.”

A new officer, Mr. Cooper said, would not only alle-viate the overtime experienced by officers, but wouldalso increase morale and effectiveness within the ranks.

The request was approved by the council with aunanimous 5-0 vote. Ideally, Mr. Cooper said, the newofficer would be hired by December 21 and would startworking in the field by mid-May.

The economic update from Mr. Pirrie was a welcomebit of good news for the city going into the holiday sea-son.

The ad-hoc committee put together in 2010 by then-

Mayor Linda Elderkin was tasked to take a look at theprojected economic future of the city. The forecast wasgrim: if the city continued on its path, it would face ageneral fund budget deficit of $2.3 million by 2015, ac-cording to city documents.

The committee recommended sweeping budgetarychanges in order to stave off the impending deficit.These changes included overhauling the PERS bene-fits so the city would not have to pay the employee’scontribution to the retirement system and pursuing newcommercial development ventures across town.

The result, according to the update, was $24.5 mil-lion in general fund revenues by 2012, an over $2.5 mil-lion increase over the projected estimate. By 2015, thegeneral fund was still over $1 million the projectedlevel brought forth by the ad-hoc committee.

The council was pleased with theupdate. Councilmember OpanyiNasiali, who along with fellow

Councilmember Larry Schroeder servedon the initial ad-hoc committee, called thereport “very gratifying.”

“To paraphrase a line from a movie I watched re-cently, we have actually worked very hard to be lucky,”Mr. Nasiali said. “So I think we need to continue work-ing hard at spending the city’s funds wisely and to con-tinue the spirit of living within our means.”

Councilmember Joe Lyons said the “writing was onthe wall” for tough economic times ahead, and praisedthe committee members for working toward avoidingthe economic disasters that have befallen other cities.

“This is a very collaborative effort from the staff,from the council and from the public,” Councilmem-ber Sam Pedroza said. “We have weathered this finan-cial storm pretty well.”

Items on the consent calendar included the reclassi-fication changes in speed limits to a number of localstreets.

Based on the 2014 speed survey, the council ap-

proved recommendations to reclassify three stretchesof streets to local roads—American Avenue fromMills to Indian Hill, Mountain Avenue from San Joseto Arrow and San Jose Avenue from Mills to College.One stretch of road, College Way from Williams toCollege Way, would be reclassified as a Major Col-lector road. All roadways save for College Way willexperience a slight drop in speed limit, from 30 mphto 25 mph.

Based on the 2015 speed survey, which was un-veiled during the Traffic and Transportation Commit-tee earlier in November, seven additional streetswithin the city would also experience changes.

These streets—College Avenue from San Jose toArrow, Lassen Avenue from Scottsbluff to Linden-wood, Lindenwood from Lassen to Shenandoah,Mountain Avenue from Bonita to Harrison, Shenan-doah Drive from Lindenwood to Claremont Boule-vard, Sixth Street from Indian Hill to College andSumner Avenue from Briarcroft to Ridgefield—willbe reclassified as local roads.

Once the city receives approval from Caltrans, thestreet changes will then be added to the city’s generalplan, according to city documents.

Also on the consent calendar was a contract to pur-chase two additional sanitation trucks to serve thecity. Los Angeles Truck Center offered to sell the

trucks to the city for $330,062.22, records show. Thegrand total for the two trucks amounted to$660,134.44.

The trucks will be purchased through a combina-tion of $60,000 in grants from the Mobile Source AirPollution Reduction Review Committee and$600,134.44 from the city’s sanitation fund.

During public comment, Claremont residentEleanor Rector used her time to continue to railagainst both Measure PS and Syrian refugees.

At the tail end of the council meeting, MayorCorey Calaycay unveiled the creation of an ad hoccommittee to look into the possibility of new plans fora possible police station. The committee, to be madeup of supporters of Measure PS as well as detractors,will be discussed and voted on during the next coun-cil meeting.

City Manager Tony Ramos also had his annual per-formance evaluation during a closed session beforethe council meeting. Mr. Calaycay noted Mr. Ramosreceived “high marks” during the session, and will re-ceive a performance award at the next city councilmeeting.

The Claremont City Council will meet again onTuesday, December 8 at 6:30 p.m. in council cham-bers. —Matthew Bramlett

Marilee Scaff is 100 years old, afeat celebrated at a well-at-tended birthday party held this

past Saturday at the Claremont UnitedChurch of Christ.

After decades of civic activism, the centenarian hasearned the right to put up her feet. Instead, she remainsvery much in touch with the world, attending citycouncil meetings and working for causes she has longheld dear.

The COURIER recently visited Ms. Scaff in herhome at Pilgrim Place. It is tastefully appointed withoriginal artwork, including a stunning piece byrenowned local watercolorist Milford Zornes, whichshe won long ago at a Democratic Club auction. Shealso collects crafts, including fiber work.

“We think that women in the past didn’t do art. Ithink that they did it with the things that needed to bemade,” she said. “They did it through quilting, gar-ments and embroidery. I admire that.”

Ms. Scaff surveyed the letters, bills and advertise-ments on her coffee table. “We go in for art,” she said.“We don’t go in for mail, but we get it whether or notwe want it.”

There’s one daily delivery she relishes, the Los An-geles Times. “It’s lying on the table, interrupting mywork. I read it before it can be thrown away at lunch.”Ms. Scaff also welcomes her Friday copy of theCOURIER, and can expound with authority on itscontents.

You don’t have to ask twice for Ms. Scaff to talkabout water.

In 2005, she made the motion for the League ofWomen Voters to conduct a water task force to createa water study. The vote was unanimous and she be-came chair of the LWV Water Task Force. The under-taking was one of the driving forces behind the city’scurrent bid to attain its water system.

Ms. Scaff knows there’s a rocky road ahead. “Ilearned very early on that it takes a lot of hard work toget something accomplished,” she said. “If you expectit to be easy, you’ll be disappointed.” Still, she is con-vinced local water control is essential.

“We should never have let the water get out of ourhands, but at the time when we started, the little south-ern California water company headquartered in SanDimas seemed like just a friendly neighbor,” she toldthe COURIER in 2013.

Ms. Scaff is pleased by the city council’s unani-mous 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, pri-marily for the purpose of capturing storm water. Thestates are working to make every community as inde-pendent of imported water as possible,” she said. “Weget half our water from northern California. GoldenState Water has been pumping water for Claremont. Ithas permission to do it, but not if we buy the water sys-tem. That’s scheduled for court on March 7.”

Dates and numbers come easily for Ms. Scaff. Let’sestablish a few numbers with regards to her life. Shewas born in 1915 in San Antonio, Texas. While pursu-ing a bachelor’s degree at the University of Texas, shefell in love with fellow student Alvin Scaff. It was anatural match. Alvin was president of the YoungMan’s Christian Association. Ms. Scaff was heavilyinvolved in the Young Women’s Christian Association.

Upon graduation, the couple headed east to pursuegraduate work at the University of Chicago. Theywere married in 1938 after they received their degrees,Ms. Scaff’s in theology and social ethics.

The Scaffs soon set out out to work as teachersunder the mission board of the congregational church,schooling children in a remote mountain village in thePhilippines, where they began their family. It was dur-

ing these years that the war began. In 1945, the Scaffswere captured by the Japanese in a mountain raid andplaced in an internment camp.

“We thought it looked pretty good compared tosome of the places we had been,” Ms. Scaff told theCOURIER in 2013. “It was crowded, very crowded,but actually living out in the mountains was more dis-mal.”

After being rescued by the 101st Airborne Division,the Scaffs returned to the United States and settled inClaremont in 1947. Alvin took a job as a sociologyprofessor at Pomona College. Marilee busied herselfraising their three children, Lawrence, Charles andMarilyn. She also taught nursery school and served asdirector of Christian education at the ClaremontChurch, now the Claremont United Church of Christ.She became involved in the local chapter of theLeague of Women Voters at that time and has re-mained an active member ever since.

Over the years, they moved across the country,teaching at the University of Iowa, the University ofNorth Carolina at Greensboro and back in the Philip-pines. 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 ClaremontUnified School District’s Board of Education andearned a PhD in educational psychology from theClaremont Graduate University. She has been a volun-teer for the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden forthree decades. Ms. Scaff characterizes the last hundredyears as “a time of continuous change.”

She’s changed with the times, herself, and even hasa Facebook account. Readers eager to “friend” her be-ware, however. Such requests are likely to go ignored.

“Now there’s all this social media to tell you stuff,”she said. “I don’t really care if your dog has run away.Alright, if you’re my dear friend, I’m very sorry.”

Ms. Scaff will share, face-to-face, the way sheprefers a few political opinions. “I think Obama isdoing an okay job under the circumstances,” she said.“Anyone who thinks they can do a better job, standforward.”

Her vote for our next president, if you were waitingfor her endorsement, goes to Hillary Clinton. “I thinknot only has she served her time—she’s very experi-enced, but she’s had a tough time,” she insited. “Sheshows up when the days are tough.”

Ms. Scaff uses a walker to get around, but she’sdoing remarkably well. She is proud of what she’s ac-complished, but she doesn’t pretend to be perfect.

“Everyone has vices. Nobody’s perfect,” she said.“People say it doesn’t apply to me, but maybe I’mcompulsively hardworking. That’s a vice.”

And thanks to what she guesses is a combination ofa sensible diet, an extraordinarily active life and goodgenes, she’s around to enjoy her 30th year at PilgrimPlace. As she posed for a celebratory photograph, Ms.Scaff, who was well-acquainted with late COURIERpublisher Martin Weinberger, took a moment to rib herold friend. “I used to tease Martin and say he took thewhole roll and used the worst,” she said.

Asked what her greatest accomplishment is, Ms.Scaff says it’s learning to cooperate.

“I’ve lived all over the world and worked with allkinds of groups,” she said. “One can find ways to getalong with others, however strange they seem, as longas you have sympathy or empathy for their style oflife.” —Sarah Torribio

Centenarian embarks on another year of civic engagement

COURIER photo/Steven FelschundneffMarilee Scaff, 100, of Claremont credits her long life to good genes, an active lifestyle and a sensible diet.

COURIER photo/Peter WeinbergerMs. Scaff reviews her notes in the council chambersafter addressing council about a memorandum of un-derstanding Golden State Water Company at a meet-ing last summer.

Iwas 24 and had been in psychoanalysisfor five years and at university forseven. I was a second-year graduate stu-

dent of Social Anthropology and I wanted abreak.

I needed a change of scene. I wanted to visit Israel. Ihad Israeli friends from graduate school and they made Is-rael sound so alive and passionate. My parents had justcome back from living there for a short time and, fromwhat I heard, it seemed a very real way to meet peopleand to get to know the country. Thinking I would just takethe summer off from analysis and school to explore, Ibooked a plane to New York and planned to stay with mystepmother. I made arrangements to sail to Israel on the SSIsrael, which would take two weeks, and would make afew interesting stops along the way, giving me a chance

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 na-tional dress printed in bold designs in bright colors. I wasimmediately drawn to a culture that wore such vividclothing. I spent a few days showing them around the sitesof Los Angeles and they, in turn, invited me to stay withthem in Ibadan, their home town in what was then central

Nigeria. They were from the Yoruba tribe. Of course, Isaid yes. When would I ever receive such an invitationagain to visit West Africa where many of my studies hadbeen centered?

In order to get a visa for Nigeria, I had to have my myentire trip booked but I didn’t have enough money to dothat. My stepmother lent me the required $580 for theround trip ticket from Tel Aviv to Lagos. While at theNigerian Embassy in New York to get my entry visa, Imet a delegate who knew my graduate student friend. Iwas welcome to stay at his house with his family, he toldme, as long as I was in Lagos.

Waving good bye to my stepmother, I climbed up thegangplank ready to explore a world I knew nothing about.It was the ’60s and I was ready for adventure. My roomwas a large eight-bedded dormitory filled with bunk bedsfor eight women. The ship made stops in Madeira, Gibral-tar, Athens and then reached its final destination: Haifa, Is-rael.

I made my way south to Ramat Gan, a small town out-side of Tel Aviv where I planned to stay with a family whohad been my parents’ neighbors when they lived in Israel.They made me feel at home. I had my own room but waswelcome to join in family dinners and play with their chil-dren. I learned some Hebrew from the neighborhood chil-dren, who also took me to a few historical towns like Jaffawhere we ate Falafel and walked along the sea. I was toldthat I must settle in Israel and marry a bus driver. Why abus driver? Because all bus drivers owned a portion ofthe Egged Bus Company and were set for life. Besides, intheir short shorts and rolled up shirt sleeves showing offbrown muscled limbs, they were the most handsome menaround.

After two months, it was time to fly to Nigeria for afew weeks. I arrived in Lagos, which at that time was theloudest, busiest, bustling city I had ever seen. My “friend”met me at the plane and explained that it would not bepossible for me to stay with them, but that he had founda wonderful home for me to stay in. It was with a woman,

You turkey! by Mellissa Martinez

On the day after Thanksgiving, peo-ple often find themselves stuckwithin the orbit of the refrigerator.

Most of us return throughout the day to pro-cure a piece or two of cold turkey. There issomething about the unprepared meal thattastes just as good as it did the night before(or maybe even better). It is this undeniablefact that led to the English expression ‘coldturkey.’

Given that the meat could be served with no provision,the term ‘cold turkey’ became synonymous with ‘with-out preparation.’ In the early- to mid-1900s, ‘to quit likecold turkey’ meant to cease a bad habit (initially heroin)suddenly and without preparation. This is just one way inwhich the turkey has infiltrated our language. The wordalso pops up in expressions like talk turkey, jive turkeyand turkey shoot. It can also be used to emphasize noth-ing, as in I don’t know turkey about computer program-ming!

Turkey shoot, or ‘something very easy,’ emerged fromthe disturbing WWII practice of holding marksmanshipcontests where turkeys were tied behind a log with theirheads sticking up as targets. ‘Jive turkey,’ an expressionfrom the 1970s, is a variation of ‘jive ass.’ ‘Jive’ was apopular expression in the African-American vernacularof New York City in the late 1930s, meaning ‘not actingright’ or ‘playfully deceiving.’

The meaning of ‘talk turkey’ has changed over time.In the early 1800s, it meant speak agreeably or pleasantly,

while now it generally means to talk frankly or get downto serious business. One source suggests that the changehappened in the late 1900s when people added cold, say-ing ‘talk cold turkey’ (without preparation). Once the coldwas later dropped, the expression maintained a seriousedge.

There are different stories that explain the origin of ‘talkturkey.’ Some suggest that it comes from the exchange ofpleasantries over Thanksgiving or Christmas turkey. An-other cites a tale in which a Yankee attempted to swindlea Native American while dividing up a turkey and a buz-zard after a hunt. The settler offered the buzzard freely,but the wise Native American responded with somethingakin to hold on a minute there, let’s talk turkey.

Once a candidate for our national bird, the turkey wasnamed after the country of Turkey by accident. Whenturkey was imported to England from the Americas in the1520s, Europeans mistook it for the Guinea fowl, whichis native to eastern Africa. This bird had been imported toEurope through the Ottoman Empire and hence called theTurkey-hen. Given that the American bird closely resem-bled the African bird, Europeans assumed they were oneand the same and called it a turkey. After the two birds

were distinguished, turkey was retained for the Americanbird, instead of the African.

At a certain point in American history, the turkeyearned a reputation for being stupid. As it turns out, thereis room for interpretation on this fact. They may seem stu-pid because of their widely spaced eyes, wobbly walk ortheir habit of staring into the sky for long periods of time(even in the pouring rain). It turns out that the long staresoff into space are a genetically inherited behavior and notat all harmful to the bird. Also, their constant head tiltingcomes from the fact that they have monocular vision. Inreality, they aren’t that dumb, they are just trying to get abetter look.

Even if unfairly assigned, the notion of stupidity hasfollowed them into language. In the early 1900s, a ‘turkey’was an inferior TV show or a failing play. Since the early1950s, ‘turkey’ alone has long meant a ‘stupid, ineffec-tual person.’ As for me, I can never hear the word turkeywithout thinking of the former Claremont High Schoolceramics assistant, Pat Fiddes, who used to stride acrossthe classroom in her tennis shorts regularly targeting anyteen who had broken the rules, “YOU TURKEY!” Weall laughed or scattered in fear that she might grab us withher clay-covered hand and make us pay for throwing clayor not cleaning our wheels. Even now, I can’t think ofthose times without smiling and, no doubt, a few otherturkeys do too.

Given that black Friday is all the rage these days, es-pecially among retailers, I wonder if some years from nowthe expression black turkey will come into vogue andwhat it might mean—one of those guys that’s beencamped in line for three days just to get ahead in spend-ing his money? Any other suggestions? I’d be happy tohear them.

Once I was a gutsy traveler by Jan Wheatcroft

Dorothy Lee, who was the head of all thewomen’s prisons in Nigeria. She lived inIkoi, the area once built for the Britishwhen they ruled Nigeria.

Dorothy had a large, airy flat on the sec-ond floor of her building with a balconyrunning around it. In the back, there was apath that went to two small hovels whereher cook and driver lived. She took me, aperson she had never heard of, into herhome for a few weeks.

Dorothy was a large, black New Yorkerwho couldn’t drive a car and who wasconstantly being followed by large, im-portant tribal chiefs in their flowing robes.They would come to her home lustingafter her and bang on the door and peerinto the windows shouting out her name.She would push me under the beds wherewe couldn’t be seen and wait until the mengot bored and left.

During the day while she worked, I ex-plored outdoor markets where everythingfrom food to textiles were on display. I

watched as robes and dresses were sewnon machines operated by pumping ped-dles. I shopped for ancient beads and oldwooden carvings. I visited museums filledwith artifacts I had only seen in books anddocumentary films.

One day, I went into an old departmentstore established by the British. I saw acounter filled with hair products andwanted to buy some hair straightener. Thegirl at the counter had very straight, oiledhair. I asked her about the product she hadused and she didn’t seem to understandme. So I pointed to her hair and said, “Iwant straight hair like yours. What do youuse?” She shouted, “wig!” as she lifted itoff of her head. I kept my curls just theway they were.

Soon it was time for me to go up toIbadan, the university town where myhosts lived. My Embassy friend intro-duced me to a nice young man and hiswife and sister who were driving up toIbadan. They seemed happy to have medrive up with them. It was the rainy sea-

son, and we got as far as the outskirts ofthe city, which was flooded. There weremany men happy to help push the carsthrough the flooded area—for a big price.

We had left the Yoruba tribal area andwere now in the Ibo tribal area. When ourdriver said he was Ibo, the men offered topush us through for free as they were alltribal brothers. I sat in the back seat withthe sister while the water surged up intoour laps until we reached the other side.Then we could drive on.

We came to a hotel where we checkedin for the night. Upon entering the restau-rant, I passed by a table of British busi-nessmen who shouted at me to sit with“my own kind” in a very rude manner. Iignored them. The next day we still couldnot enter the flooded city so we turnedaround and drove back to Lagos.

My last choice was to fly up to Ibadanin a small plane.The pilot hovered over thetops of the trees and villages below. I couldclearly see women carrying pots and bas-kets on their head as well as babies on theirbacks. They wore brightly printed wrapdresses and colorful head scarves. Chil-dren ran about or helped to carry basketsand pots on their heads, too. Thatched mudhuts peaked through the trees.

In Ibadan, I was met by the professor

and his wife. It was nice to meet themagain and to be welcome in their home.We had already spent time together in LosAngeles and I felt comfortable being withsomeone I knew. They took me to visitother small villages I had only read about.I ate local foods like Joloff rice, which wastoo spicy for me. I bought bright nativedresses and authentic spears. We all wentto the movies in an outdoor park with chil-dren running around and picnics spreadout as if the film was the least importantpart of the evening. And then it was time toleave.

I returned to Israel and knew that I wasnot yet ready to return home to the life Ileft behind me. The world had opened up.I had been to Africa, had stayed on an Is-raeli kibbutz, traveled around the countryseeing old cities, and I loved it all. I feltfree.

I wrote to my parents and told them thatI would be staying on for a few moremonths but had no specific plans. I thoughtthat perhaps after finishing my graduatedegree I might return to Israel and settledown and be a part of its growth and de-velopment. I was not aware at that pointthat this decision would change the courseof my life, but in a different way from howI had planned it.

A collection of Chris Darrow’s photography, Van-ishing West, will be on display at the Ginger ElliottGallery. An opening reception is planned for Saturday,December 5 from 6 to 9 p.m.

“As the title implies, The Vanishing West is aboutthat which once was, and is now fading from our viewand immediate memory,” Mr. Darrow writes. “Like anendangered species, the California of the ‘classic’ pe-

riod is now becoming a harder and harder place tofind. The manifest destiny that drove people west hasnow taken a different tone and now a ‘newer is better’attitude has replaced the need to build and settle.”

The Ginger Elliott Gallery is at Memorial Park, 840N. Indian Hill Blvd., Claremont.

Georgia WardenGifted vocalist, influential teacher

Georgia Lee Warden, a lifetime resi-dent of Claremont, died on November 3,2015. She was 84 and still living in thehome in the Russian Village that her fa-ther purchased in 1938.

She was born in 1931 at Pomona Val-ley Hospital to Earle Knights Bunkerand Thelma Mae Looschen. Her fatherwas in banking and her mother was ahomemaker. Georgia was a lifelongmember of Claremont United Church ofChrist, Congregational, and was fond oftelling friends that she had played the in-fant Jesus in the Christmas mangerscene there.

She was quite active while attendingClaremont High School, playing tennis,serving as song-leader and engaging incompetitive roller-skating, an activitythat was memorialized in family albumswith photographs of her undertakingdaring jumps.

Georgia began taking vocal lessonsearly on and by high school, her lessonswith her lifelong voice coach MargeryBriggs were yielding promising results.She was a real student of lieder, a Ger-man style of music consisting of roman-tic poems set to classical music by leg-endary composers. Often performedwith just a single vocalist and a pianist,the genre was well suited to her soaringsoprano.

Following her graduation in 1949, sheenrolled in a summer orchestra program.She was playing bass in the ensemble,while a likely looking young mannamed Leslie “Les” Warden was playingtrumpet. A romance was kindled be-tween the two musicians and they weremarried in 1950, shortly before Geor-gia’s 19th birthday. The couple soonwelcomed two sons, Christopher andJeffrey.

Georgia and Les, who was a profes-

sional musician who played with bigbands, believed it was important for hischildren to have a musical background.Chris recalls taking piano and trumpetlessons as a child and says he and herbrother were constantly surrounded bymusic. Each year, they would travel tothe home of fellow CUCC parishionerDave Blanchard, who actually had apipe organ in his home, for a Christmassing-along.

“My brother and I would hole up inthe bedroom we shared and listen to myparents warming up for choir,” Chris re-called. Jeff died at age 14 of complica-tions from asthma, a devastating loss forthe family.

Mrs. Warden began taking classes atthe Claremont Colleges, followed bycourses at San Bernardino State. Even asa busy young mother and student, Mrs.Warden didn’t give up her musical aspi-rations. When Chris was in fourth gradeand Jeffrey in second, Les’ work tookthe family to San Francisco for threeyears. Georgia auditioned for the SanFrancisco Opera and began performing

chorale work. In 1963, she performedthe role of Orlinde in Wagner’s “DieWalküre.”

She won a contest at the RedlandsBowl in 1957, just in time to kick off thevenue’s 35th anniversary. Her programincluded songs like Mozart’s “Alleluia”and “Ritorna Vincitor” from “Aida,”with her teacher Ms. Briggs at the piano.Georgia’s performance was lauded in aSan Bernardino Sun article, which char-acterized her sound as “a voice of velvetrichness in the low register and of bril-liance in the coloratura.” In 1990, Geor-gia earned a doctorate from the Clare-mont Graduate School. For her thesis,she tackled the heady subject of Germanlieder, “Richard Strauss’ Zueignung:background and comparison of sevenrecordings.”

In the 1970s, Mrs. Warden became aclassroom teacher at Oakmont School,followed by a post as a reading specialistat Sycamore School. Given her back-ground, Georgia—who was heavily in-fluenced by the Orff school of teach-ing—volunteered to teach music as well.The form of teaching combines move-ment and music during sessions that feelmore like play than studying. Duringtheir early stages of instruction, Orffpupils are encouraged to make musicwithout worrying about learning to readnotes. Devotees of the teaching disci-pline believe the early freedom lead togreater musical enthusiasm and a fasterlearning curve.

The school budget didn’t allow for thepurchase of many of the tools called forby Orff instruction, but Mrs. Wardenwas undeterred, acquiring many instru-ments over the years. She was particu-larly big on teaching the recorder, a windinstrument that is elementary in someways but can be complex to play. Shebegan collecting recorders, amassingdozens upon dozens over the years.

After retiring from the ClaremontUnified School District in the early ‘90s,Georgia taught music at Foothill Coun-try Day School for a number of years.“We kept kidding her, asking when she

was going to get her gold watch and sitin her rocking chair, but it wasn’t goingto happen,” Chris said.

Church continued to be central to theWardens, with Georgia serving as a so-prano soloist and Les singing bass withthe CUCC choir for decades. In the ‘90sand early 2000s, Mrs. Warden was choirdirector and also, for a time, served asdirector of the children’s choir.

Butch Henderson, who was seniorpastor for at CUCC for 20 years, cameto know the Wardens, whom he called“a beautiful duo,” quite well.

“Georgia’s personality and her gra-ciousness were as lovely as her voice.She gave both of herself and of her tal-ents very generously,” he recalled. “Shegave herself completely to anything shewas involved in. She was an all-in kindof person, and always seemed so muchyounger than her age.”

In a recent tribute, music teacherCharlotte Van Ryswyk recalled Geor-gia’s mentorship as she started her onher way with directing the CUCC chil-dren’s choir. “She introduced me to theworld of Orff-Schulwerk and togetherwe figured out how to produce musicalswith young kids, a stage, a piano, somefabric and many laughs,” she recalled.

Georgia also sang locally with theRonfeld Chorale, the Claremont Sym-phony Orchestra, which recentlyawarded the chanteuse its LifetimeAchievement Award. She sang in and di-rected some 30 programs with thePomona Valley Musicians Club over theyears, serving as PVMC’s presidentfrom 2008 to 2010.

Mr. and Mrs. Warden enjoyed manyadventures together, including travelingto perform in a Hadyn festival in Austriaevery year for 20 years. Earlier on theyhad caught the bug at a music programin Germany. Shortly after his marriage,Chris and his wife Iris, who is a nativeGerman, joined the couple in Munichnear the end of that event.

Before the start of the CIF SouthernSection Division 5 championshipgame on Saturday, Claremont

Coach Kristin Rodriguez said she hopedthat suggestions that the Pack did not de-serve to be ranked number-one would getunder the skin of her players.

Something did seem to get under their skin, however,the result was not a repeat victory for Claremont. CHSwas narrowly defeated, 7-5, by Redlands East Valley infront of a sell-out crowd at William Woollett Jr. AquaticCenter in Irvine.

It was the Wildcats’ night with a pool full of freshmenincluding their starting goalkeeper Harrison Land, whohad a remarkable 14 saves with key stops in the fourthquarter when CHS was fighting to stay alive. FreshmanChad Gornay would score twice and Nicholas Flem-ington would get a key goal in the third.

“Harrison became a starter once our senior goalie gothurt in the last game of the season, he has been phe-nomenal, it is unbelievable how much talent that kidhas,” said Wildcat Coach Ryan Williams.

Claremont came out strong, with senior JohnathonWong scoring in the first minute. But if fans thoughtthey were about to witness a blowout it would soon beclear that was not going to happen as the Wildcatsevened the score a minute later.

That is how the game went for the first half withClaremont pulling ahead by one and Redlands East Val-ley tying. Claremont even had a 3-2 advantage at thehalf, but the third quarter was a game changer.

The Wildcats scored first when Zachary Jenson tookadvantage of an exclusion to tie the game after only afew seconds in the pool. From there, Redlands East Val-ley controlled the momentum. But good defensive playby Claremont kept the score tied until Gornay gaveRedlands their first lead with two minutes to go in thequarter. In all, Redlands East Valley outscored Clare-mont 4-1 in the third, including a heart-breaker whenJenson beat CHS goalkeeper Kellan Grant at the buzzer.

That goal defeated the Pack, who were down by threeand facing a very tough foe. It became an insurmount-able task to get the goals needed to win, but Claremontdid try.

The Pack looked a bit desperate by taking too manywild shots but their talent was undeniable. Bruno Snowscored first followed by Wong making it a 5-6 gamewith ample time on the clock. But REV played the wait-ing game, winding down the clock and forcing Clare-

mont to foul, which resulted in another exclusion. TheWildcats took advantage as Jared Gornay scored the lastgoal of the game, sealing his team’s victory

“I think we were afraid of something,” Coach Ro-driguez said after the game. “It looked like we wereshooting on our back. We were hesitant. We know wecan beat this team but not tonight.”

A jubilant Wildcat squad, including Coach Williams,jumped into the pool to celebrate. Afterward, there wasan awards ceremony with a subdued Claremont teamtaking the runner-up medals.

“We believed all year we were good enough to get tothe finals,” Coach Williams said of the Wildcats win.“Our seniors brought the leadership, and they got thewhole team to believe. Once that happened, we wereunstoppable.”

Even though Claremont did not repeat last year’stitle, the Pack still had a remarkable season going un-defeated in the Palomares League and gaining a 22-8overall record. With several key players returning, in-cluding star driver Snow and sophomore Ian Waasdorp,the 2016 season could be another big one for Clare-mont. —Steven Felschundneff
