Dear Editor: My neighbors and I just received the most recent parking restriction notification. We live on Michigan Drive, west of Mills. If you keep restricting parking for the park, the hikers and cyclists will eventually fill up the Vons parking lot. Already, there are easily a dozen vehicles that do just that. We see no problem with allowing parking on the west side of Mills between Pomello and Base Line, where no homes actually front onto Mills and there is a concrete wall for privacy. We have to provide parking for people who come to use the park. What is the problem with allowing parking under the power lines, north of the dirt berm that would screen vehicles from the residents who live on Pomello? Would the PVPA be totally unreasonable on this? Have they been asked? Putting parking restrictions on residents, their family and friends does not make this a nice community to live in. I belong to a study fellowship and we have monthly luncheons that necessitate 12 to 15 cars parked in the vicinity of my home from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., one day a month. Whenever my family gathers for birthdays or holidays there are four to five cars parked in front of my house and the house of my neighbor across the street. Since the grandkids are young, we get together during the daytime. Occasionally, my neighbors have gatherings and do likewise. Do I have to inconvenience my neighbors to borrow their residential parking passes each time? This is ridiculous.
Claremont readies to remove Golden State Water

Dear Editor: After years of discussion, it finally looks like the residents of Claremont are going to take control over their water system. And I couldnt be happier. This week, the city council laid out a finance plan that will finally end Golden State Waters costly monopoly in Claremont. While the water systems appraised value is $56 million, Golden State seems determined to grab as much cash on their way out of town as possible. The analysis done by the city indicates that the current water rates in Claremont can support an acquisition price as high as $80 million, even though its only worth $56 million. But to the city of Claremonts credit, they are making plans that will help ensure Golden State will no longer be able to hold our communitys water ransom. In the unlikely event a court forces Claremont to pay more than $80 million for the system, we will be ready. The city council is preparing a measure for the November ballot that will allow voters to approve an additional $40 million just in case Golden State wins their extortion attempt. If the city needed to tap into that money to acquire, it will be money well spent. The cost would be about $21 per month and would vary based on water usage. Compared to how much Golden State

With $80 million in the bank, city explores water system financing
Claremont resident Randy Scott chats with an acquaintance during a recess of the Claremont City Council meeting on Tuesday in Claremont. Mr. Scott has been a vocal advocate of Claremonts bid to take over the local water service.
nly about 65 Claremont residents showed up at Taylor Hall on Monday night as the Claremont City Council made a major move on the potential purchase of the citys water system, proceeding forward with financing options.
At a town hall meeting in November, officials estimated the city could afford to pay as much as $80 million from existing city funds for the water system. This week the council went a step further, unanimously agreeing to explore the possibility of obtaining a voterapproved revenue bond if the purchase is deemed more expensive. Obtaining such a bond would require the city to hold an election and receive a majority vote of 51 percent in favor of the decision. The council has not committed itself to the revenue bond. Tuesday nights decision was only to direct staff to prepare the information necessary to explore this option. Council members were presented with three financing options: a community facilities district special tax bond (requiring a two-third vote of the people), a voter approved water revenue bond, or an installment purchase water revenue bond (which would not require an election, merely a vote from the council). All three financing options would have a similar impact, legal counsel relayed, with an average $21-$23 added to water bills for single-family residences per month for an estimated 30 years. The community facilities district special tax bond was quickly ruled out becauseas several attendees pointed outschools, colleges, churches and retirement communities are all exempt from this tax. While many spoke in favor of the citys choice to take their time throughout the process of exploring water system acquisition, several urged the council to go with the quicker route of an installment purchase water revenue bond. We would do well to avoid an election, both for cost and the divisiveness of another forum for Golden State to continue the tactics that they have done thus far and clearly will continue throughout this entire process, said Claremont resident Anne Turner. A couple residents, however, were uncomfortable with having five people make the sole decision on such a large, controversial topic as the purchase of the water system. While Mayor Joe Lyons was vocal in his preference to not go with an election, he conceded to the councils will, which was to leave the final decision to the people. I believe there will be acrimony no matter what we do, Mayor Pro Tem Corey Calaycay said. But I do believe...any issue [on the acquisition] should go to the vote of the people. Council water action trickles forward While advancing with financing options, the Claremont City Council unanimously opted to postpone the
COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff Attorney for Golden State Water Company Bryan LeRoy reads a letter from the company opposing the environmental impact report during a meeting of the Claremont City Council Tuesday night at Taylor Hall. After public comments, the council postponed making a decision about the EIR for two weeks, which is an intermediate step in the citys bid to take control of the water company.
adoption of a final report evaluating the environmental impacts of a water system purchase for two weeks. The recommendation to delay the final decision was made by City Attorney Sonia Carvalho, who said she wanted to give the citys legal team time to address any additional questions on the report. At the town hall in November, city officials approved the use of $350,000 in city funds to prep financial and legal documents needed for the potential purchase of Claremonts water system, including the environmental report. While it was not determined that the potential water system purchase would have a significant impact on the environment, the city made the choice to move forward with a more extensive review process to show the citys due diligence, said Michelle Ouellette, an environmental law attorney hired by the city of Claremont. Public review of the initial study began on November 21 with a community meeting held in December. A public comment period was again initiated after the final report on January 24. Six letters with comments on the report were received, one from representatives of Golden State Water Company, owners of Claremonts water system. A majority of the complaints received were minor and the overall tone of correspondence was positive, Ms. Ouellette alleged. Bryan LeRoy, an environmental lawyer who spoke on behalf of Golden State, asserted the report was far from adequate. Filing an environmental impact report before the city has identified a water system operator is backwards, he said. The citys report indicates the possibility of Pomona, Upland, the Monte Vista Water District or another private third party operator serving as Claremonts water system manager. The city is currently working with the city of La Verne to conduct a feasibility report on joining forces with their water works department. Nothing has been finalized. The operational study is key, with details on how the system will operate and what may happen down the road, Mr. LeRoy said. How can you commit to a course of action when you dont even know the manager yet? Mr. LeRoy went on to criticize the citys failure to explore the impact of potential future reclaimed water use, which is mapped out in the citys Sustainability
Plan. Dr. Rodney Smith, a local water consultant hired by Golden State Water to conduct a feasibility study of the water system, accompanied Mr. LeRoy. Dr. Smith also spoke at the meeting, maintaining that the acquisition would result in higher rates indefinitely if the city attempts an eminent domain takeover. he citys appraiser has conservatively estimated the city could afford up to $80 million with little to no impact to existing water rates and without resorting to a water bond or parcel tax. Even if the water system purchase were to cost $100 million or $120 million, city experts estimate rates would still be lower than existing Golden State Water rates in 9 or 17 years, respectively. Information supporting those numbers has been withheld from public viewing at this time because of the citys ongoing legal battle. The citys refusal to release this feasibility study has been a source of contention between the city and the water company, which filed a lawsuit in December to require that city officials make the document available for public viewing. Claremont administration continues to advocate its right to privacy because of the legal battle that may commence for the purchase of the water system. The city has made offers of $54 million and $55 million, respectively, to Golden State for the purchase of the water system. Both have been turned down as Golden State representatives maintain the system is not for sale and the systems value is closer to $200 million. Claremont resident Valerie Martinez, who provided environmental report consulting, refuted Golden States rejection of the citys environmental report, saying she was impressed with the thoroughness of the citys process. They didnt have to conduct an Environmental Impact Report, but they did to make sure they really dotted the Is and crossed the Ts, Ms. Martinez said. If I were their lawyer, Id probably be saying the same thing. They are just doing their job. But as a community, we need to do our job, educating ourselves and supporting our council in this effort.

Claremont police officers receive promotions

laremont police took time out from their usual duties on Tuesday to celebrate two of their own. Officer Jacob Tillman and Detective Robert Buzz Ewing received promotions to corporal and sergeant, respectively.
Corp. Tillman was hired as a police recruit while attending the Fullerton Police Academy, graduating in November 2005. In 2009, he was selected as a motor officer with the citys traffic program and has gone on to be a defensive tactics, baton and firearms instructor for the department. He played a role in leading Claremont Unified School District employees in critical incident training and active shooter response. Sgt. Ewing graduated from Napa Valley College Police Academy in 1999 as a game warden for the state of California. Before coming to the city of Claremont in 2005, he worked for the Department of Fish and Game as well as the Calistoga Police Department. He has served as vice president of the Claremont Police Officers Association since 2009 and has been instrumental in putting together the organizations Tip-A-Cop fundraisers. Both officers renewed their oaths before Chief Paul Cooper at Tuesday nights city council meeting. Corp. Tillmans daughter and Sgt. Ewings son had the honor of pinning their fathers new badges.

Man wanted for sexual assault still at large
laremont police are requesting the publics help in finding a man accused of sexually assaulting a juvenile on Friday, March 21 between 10:30 and 11:45 p.m. The 12-year-old girl was home alone when the stranger reportedly gained access to her house then physically and sexually assaulted her. It is unknown how the suspect was able to enter the home, but there are no signs of forced entry, according to Lieutenant Mike Ciszek. Officers have not re-

leased the location of the incident to protect the victim. Lt. Ciszek says the department has been following several leads, but is expanding its search to the general public with a computer-generated image of the suspect in hopes of finding further information. The suspect is described as a Caucasian male about 30 years old, approximately 5-feet-8 or 5-feet-9 inches tall, with a medium build, blue eyes and brown hair. He was last seen wearing a colored baseball hat and flannel shirt and was clean-shaven. Any information should be reported to the Claremont Police Departments Detective Bureau at (909) 399-5420 or the on-duty watch commander at (909) 399-5411. Friday, March 21 Church was no sanctuary for Jerry Pelfrey on Friday evening. The 33-yearold Upland resident was resting against a chapel wall in the 700 block of Base Line Road when police put an end to his temporary shelter. Mr. Pelfrey, on probation for the sale of cocaine, was found to be under the influence of a central nervous system stimulant, according to Lt. Ciszek. He found new refuge in jail. Saturday, March 22 Claremont McKenna College students were placed on heightened alert on Saturday evening after a man was spotted looking into dorm room windows near the 300 block of Eighth Street on Saturday around 7 p.m. The peeping tom was last seen getting into the drivers seat of a silver sedan and taking off down College Avenue toward Sixth Street. He is described as a Caucasian male in his 30s or 40s and was about 5-feet-8 inches tall. A report was taken, but no arrest has been made. Sunday, March 23 Burglary suspects flight from police came to a grisly end in Claremont on Sunday evening. The pursuit began around 5:20 p.m. at a Target in Montclair, where a man was spotted leaving the store with two large TVs valued at just over $500, according to a police statement. Officers followed in pursuit as the man got into a 2004 green Honda Accord driven by a female. The driver headed onto the 10 freeway, heading west at a high rate of speed, according to police. The pursuit came to an end off the Indian Hill Boulevard exit when the Honda collided with three other vehicles on the exit ramp. The male suspect was ejected from the backseat of the car and pronounced dead at the scene. The driver, identified as 28-year-old Gabrielle Wines, was taken to the hospital for treatment. She was later released and arrested on suspicion of murder, burglary and evading arrest, according to reports. The Indian Hill westbound exit was temporarily closed. Monday, March 24 An armed robber remains at large after attacking a clerk at La West liquor store, located at 333 E. Arrow Highway, on Monday night. Equipped with a handgun, the suspect entered the business and demanded cash from the register, according to Claremont police. The clerk complied with his demands and the sus-
Police, school district remind drivers to keep it safe

The Claremont Unified School District reported a recent uptick in traffic incidents involving children walking or riding their bikes to school. As a reminder, police and CUSD ask parents to take a few minutes to talk with their children about the importance of safe travel to and from school, emphasizing the use of crosswalks, and asking kids to take time to look both ways for approaching traffic prior to crossing a street. As the driver of a vehicle, police urge residents to be aware of their surroundings when driving near school campuses, especially during school hours and when children are present. Police have indicated they will beef up patrol around schools during morning and afternoon hours, according to a district official, and additional steps to promote the citys Safe Routes to School program are being explored. pect then fled the business in an unknown direction with $80 and a bottle of vodka in tow. The suspect is described as a Hispanic male, 22 to 27 years old, about 6 feet tall and weighing 170 pounds. He was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, black shorts, black socks and black shoes with white laces at the time of the incident. Any information should be reported to the Claremont Police Department at (909) 399-5411.

Security concerns, staff kudos highlight school board meeting
CUSD parent took a moment at the Thursday, March 20 school board meeting to address his concerns about the handling of last weeks gun scare at Claremont High School.
The day before the meeting, graffiti was found scrawled in a boys bathroom in the 800 quad of the CHS campus, indicating that a student SCHOOL intended to bring a gun to school the BOARD next day. Parents were notified on the day of the incident, Wednesday, March 19. News of the threat spread further through coverage on local news stations. Brad Umansky thought long and hard about whether to bring his two daughters, both CHS students, to the high school on Thursday. One girl had hip-hop practice at 6 a.m. and then would be leaving by bus for a field trip. His other daughter has zero period beginning at 6:45 a.m. He decided to take them to school, reasoning that a gunman would be unlikely to act at a time when much of the campus was deserted. Mr. Umansky also assumed there would be a significant police presence at the high school. While the Claremont Police Department determined that the graffiti did not represent a credible threat, it was decided that four police officersone on a bicycle would spend the day patrolling the campus. They were not yet on campus, however, when Mr. Umansky arrived with his two girls. There was absolutely, positively nothing, he said. Concerned, Mr. Umansky called the police station, first at 6:25 a.m. and then again 10 minutes later. He told the board that in each case, he was informed that police were already at the site. When he called a third time, Mr. Umansky said, he was told police planned to arrive at the school at 7 a.m. Mr. Umansky said he was troubled that the police lied. Whats more, he considers it unconscionable there was no security in place before the official start of school. A gun scare should always be taken seriously, he insisted. [Claremonts Police Chief] Paul Cooper said he did-
nt view it as a credible threat, Mr. Umansky said. How the words, Im going to bring a gun to school arent considered a credible threat, I dont know. He noted his criticisms were aimed more at the police department than at district administrators. Theres a lot to be learned from what happened how to look at the situation from parents perspective, Mr. Umansky said. Spotlight on Excellence Applause, by contrast, followed another announcement, the selection of Joe Tonan as the recipient of the districts annual Spotlight on Excellence award. Mr. Tonan is a 6th grade teacher at Sumner as well as an advocate for the local faculty union. The Spotlight on Excellence award is tendered each year to a member of CUSD staff who, among other traits, exhibits high standards of performance,challenges himself and others, and reinforces positive and contributing behaviors in colleagues and students. This recipient comes with the praise of most if not all of the employees at his site, Kevin Ward, assistant superintendent of human services, said. Mr. Ward had warm words for Mr. Tonan, noting that he is an enthusiast of countless subjects along with being a devoted educatora person you can talk to

about anything from Gothic architecture to Zenn Buddhism. When Mr. Tonan speaks on behalf of certificated staff on employment issues, he does so, Mr. Ward said, with humor, compassion and support. Mr. Tonans students inevitably leave his class better prepared for life, the administrator added. School board member Dave Nemer added his endorsement of Mr. Tonan. Not only is he political, but he is effective, Mr. Nemer said. It has to do with thinking thoroughly before he takes action, but taking action after he thinks. Mr. Tonan smiled broadly as he posed for a photograph, accompanied by his wife Cyndi, his son James and his young granddaughter. Also receiving kudos were seven CUSD schools that have been recognized as Honor Roll schools by the California Business for Education Excellence association: Chaparral, Condit, Mountain View, Oakmont, Sycamore and Vista del Valle elementary schools as well as El Roble Intermediate School. The criterion for the designation is that a school makes significant progress in closing achievement gaps and increasing college-readiness. Another item of interest was a presentation by Superintendent of Business Services Lisa Shoemaker on the districts priorities with regards to upcoming capital improvements. Ms. Shoemaker noted that in the wake of the sale of the old CUSD district office and service center, and in anticipation of the sale of the La Puerta Intermediate School site, the district is perfecting a list of construction projects it will undertake. Top needs will focus on health and safety, as well as ADA compliance. Board vice president Hilary La Conte suggested the district keep sustainability in mind as it moves forward on projects, for example looking into installing solar panels and light cells on appropriate structures. More on the districts Capital Improvement Priorities will be included in a future edition of the COURIER. The next school board meeting is set for Thursday, April 3 at 6:30 p.m. at the Richard S. Kirkendall Education Center, 170 W. San Jose Ave.

New occupational clinic offers fun, stealth therapy
heres a brand-new playground at Danbury Elementary School, and
its amazing. The indoor facility features an array of colorful equipment allowing students to swing, climb, roll, jump and slide to their hearts content.
Theres more to this haven of movement than meets the eye, however. Its actually the Claremont Unified School Districts new Occupational Therapy Clinic, which was inaugurated on March 17 during a St. Patricks Daythemed open house. Its a place where kids can strengthen their bodies, hone their fine motor skills and calm or enrich their nervous systems, depending on their individual needs. As the saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child. For Danburys 75 students, each of who has a physical disability or health impairmentand some of whom live with multiple disabilitiesthis axiom holds doubly true.
COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff Danbury third grader Lauren Noyes is assisted by district occupational therapist Jenny Blacksher as she enjoys the equipment in CUSDs new occupational therapy clinic.
With this in mind, support staff work to buttress the efforts of the schools dedicated classroom teachers. These include nurses and specialists in the areas of hearing, speech and adaptive physical education as well as physical and occupational therapy. The team members collaborate, really trying to do whats best for the kids, according to Danbury Principal Stephen Hamilton. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, an occupational therapist is skilled in the use of treatments to develop, recover or maintain the daily living and work skills of people with a physical, mental or developmental condition. To a Danbury parent like Kim Noyes, the definition of an occupational therapist is simpler: She is a godsend. Ms. Noyes daughter Lauren, who will soon be 10, has attended Danbury for seven years. Her other daughter, 8year-old Emily, is a student at the adjoining Sumner Elementary School. Its a great arrangement, their mom says, because the girls basically get to go to

A dogs life
By Mellissa Martinez
trolling past the Claremont Pooch Park, its hard not to notice the crazed canine vibe. Beloved pets yelp, jump and sprint in excitement. Others silently snoop around. Life, however, has not always been so sweet for our fourlegged friends. Expressions like a dogs life, sick as a dog, dog days, dog tired and go to the dogs reflect the fact that dogs used to struggle for survival.
LEX
IN THE
CITY
Although many people love their mutts, in the early 1900s, the word was not used with fondness. It meant stupid or foolish person. This shortened version of muttonhead was used only briefly for people and more generally for dogs, especially mongrels. Initially, it was used with contempt, but eventually mutts did the same as purebredswon the hearts of humans. Purebreds are often named after their place of origin. Maltese come from the island of Malta; Pekingese, from Peking (former Beijing); the Rottweiler originated in the German town of Rottweil; Spaniel means Spaniard; Akita is a northern district in Japan; Dalmatian comes from Dalmatia, a region in Croatia; and Chihuahua is believed to be a native word from Mexico, which means dry or sandy place. Other pooches got their names from their famed skills as hunters. The name Terrier came about in the early 1400s from Old French chien terrier, literally earth dog. This is from Medieval Latin terrarius of earth. Terriers got their names because of their persistence when pursuing prey into burrows. The Poodle gets its name from puddle. In the early 1800s, Germans called this dog a pudelhund or water dog because it was used for hunting waterfowl. The Setter was so called because of its reputation for being set on its game and Dachshund literally means badger hound in German. Some doggies are named for their appearance or habits. The Schnauzer, a breed of terrier, comes from the German schnauzen to snarl, growl. This is re-
Initially used as hunters and protectors, they endured centuries of hardship before arriving in the modern era where they hop up onto beds, wear designer clothes, eat gourmet meals and prance at pooch parks. Dog comes from the Old English docga, a rare word used for a particularly powerful breed of canine. Although it eventually overtook the common Germanic word hund, the origin of docga is still unknown. By the 1500s, it had spread to other languages such as French dogue and Danish dogge. This is not the only canine term to elude linguists. The root of the common Spanish word for dog, perro, also is a mystery and the English word pooch, from the 1920s, is another. Although there are stories that credit pouch and pod as sources, none are verified. Canine, which refers to dog and pointed tooth in English, comes from the Latin caninus of the dog. This led to the Italian, cane, French chien and Portuguese co, among others. The Proto-Indo European root is thought to be *kwon- which evolved to become German (and later Old English) hund and Greek kyon. In other words, both hound and canine come from the same root. Related English words are kennel, canary and cynic. Kennel comes from the Lain canem, dog, and cynic comes by way of the Greek kynikos, dog-like, which referred to the sneering sarcasm of some philosophers. Canary, the tiny songbird, was named for the islands where it was discovered, the Canary Islands, or islands of the dogs.
lated to Middle English snoute snout. The Shih Tzu gets its name from a much larger source, a lion. The Chinese is shi lion, zi son and gou dog. Another Chinese namesake is the Shar-pei or sand skin, and Corgi comes from the combination of Welsh cor dwarf and ci dog. Readers may be surprised to learn that the Greyhound is not named for its color, just as the Husky is not named for its body type. Rather, greyhound is a combination of Old English grig bitch and hound and Husky is a shortening of Canadian English Ehuskemay or Eskimo. The quick-moving Whippet got its name in the 1600s from the verb whip, to move quickly. However, the dog was not the first to carry this name. Earlier, the word whippet had referred to a brisk, nimble woman. The Bull Terrier developed the name pit bull because of the human interaction of pitting dogs of this breed against each other, and the Boxer was also named for its fighting ability. On the opposite spectrum, we have the mastiffthis large, powerful breed of dog gets its name from the Latin mansuetinus domesticated, tame. Some of the stranger etymologies can be found in dogs like the Samoyed. The dog takes its name from the Siberian Mongolian people, from Russian Samoyed, literally self-eaters (although there is some suggestion that the idea of cannibalism stems from folk etymology). The Beagle probably derived its name from the French becguele noisy person, literally gaping throat, from bayer open wide, and for those readers whose houses are ruled by a protective Labrador, the name appropriately comes from the Portuguese, lavrador landholder. According to a recent Los Angeles Times article, dog domestication probably occurred 18,000 to 32,000 years ago in Ice age Europe, when wolves followed bands of semi-nomadic hunters in search of woolly mammoths. Although dogs may have originated in one place, their names tell a truly international tale. With origins as far off as Canada, Europe, Asia and beyond, it is clear that the pooch park is among the most diverse places in our town.

Claremont water
Dear Editor: When are the residents of Claremont going to wake up to the fact that Golden State Water (a private, for-profit company) will do and say anything directly or indirectly in order to keep the cash cow of Claremont residents water bills flowing into their coffers? I read this morning a supposedly unbiased front page report by Liset Marquez in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin regarding this subject. In it, she alludes to the secrecy of the city council and their projected plans to get more money to finance the takeover of Golden State. I resent the secrecy and blatant attacks that Golden State has made in their attempt to thwart our efforts to rid the community and its residents of an albatross that keeps demanding more and more money while providing negligible services to us. I also resent the secrecy of Golden State in funding supposedly independent studies that paint their services in glowing terms and attack the credibility of any study the city funds. I further resent the fact that Golden State demands more money every three years (the minimum time allowed) in order to pay their management, board of directors and stockholders a yearly dividend that they havent missed in uncounted years. Finally, I resent the actions (or non-actions) of the Public Utilities Commission in allowing this subterfuge of supposed overseeing for the publics benefit to go on year after year. Golden State submits a mound of paper to justify an increase and asks for more than they actually want; the PUC reviews the justification and grants a lower
figure to Golden State (sometimes higher than they expected). When will it stop? When we take action to take over this system using eminent domain and let the experienced La Verne water personnel run it? I dont believe that our rates will go down under this new system, but I do believe that they wont continue to go up!

Damaging our treescape

Dear Editor: I am a relative newcomer to Claremont, one of those retired PhDs who is here largely because of the trees. The wonderful spectacle of beautiful, wellnurtured trees spreading their lush canopies over the roadways displays to all that this is a community that cares about aesthetic and environmental values. My interest in the trees eventually led me to join the Tree Action Group (TAG) of Sustainable Claremont, which has recently submitted recommendations for the coming revision of the Street Tree Policy Manual. One of the major areas of our concern has been the topic of proper pruning practices. The citys current manual already includes guidelines for maintaining the natural appearance of our trees by limiting the proportion of a trees canopy that can be pruned, and prohibiting practices such as topping, which produces trees that are unattractive, unhealthy, vulnerable to disease, and forces them to
produce unsightly growths of suckers in a desperate attempt to compensate for the loss of crucial food-producing canopy. Unfortunately, trees on private property are not legally protected from such abuse. A very disturbing case in point is the recent macabre spectacle of mutilated sycamores (I think they are...hard to tell from whats left!) lining the Claremont Clubs parking area on Monte Vista Boulevard, as well as the marvelous large heritage sycamores near the stone clubhouse. Did the Club employ the services of a certified arborist for this project? Im certain that, private property or not, a responsible professional arborist would never have approved such massive overpruning of these magnificent trees. Im also a recent member of the Club, and am disappointed to see that their wonderful concern for the health of their human members does not extend to the health of their trees and their value to the communitys appearance and ecological health. I hope they will see the error of their ways, and not continue inflicting such abusive damage to our treescape.

changer for the climateespecially because power plants are our single largest source of carbon pollution. You can bet that corporate polluters are already doing everything they can to block these important health protections, while members of the environmental and health communities are already voicing their support. If supporters like you stand up and demand the strongest standard possible, we can ensure a cleaner, healthier future for everyone. The unlimited dumping of carbon pollution is a chief cause of climate change. And that means more frequent and violent storms and extreme weather events, as well as worse smog, which cause asthma attacks. Will you join others around the country in saying you believe we must put people before polluters and protect our children and future generations from climate change? Submit a public comment to the EPA in support of the standard and your voice will be part of the official record.

Traveling in South India and loving it

For my fifth visit to India, I decided I wanted to focus on just the southern part. I could revisit places I had been to before but also explore places I had longed to see but as yet only existed in my dreams. My friend Barbara and I flew into Chennai and, after four days, drove with a car and driver to Pondicherry, a town settled originally by the French. Pondicherry is very Indian, but has a French flavor with houses and streets, food and some language that tells of its French past. (It was also featured in the film, Life of Pi.) In planning this trip, I would have loved to have made no plans and moved about spontaneously, stopping and staying wherever the desire drove me. However, that is not possible during the winter months when the weather is best for traveling and other people are of like mind. So, at least for the beginning part of the trip, we planned and made reservations in advance. Luckily, we did. The Heritage Guest Houses were quickly filled up by other happy travelers. They are soul satisfying, friendly and economical and we were totally comfortable there. We spent the first days of the trip getting to know this southeastern portion of India, wandering the streets, shopping, meeting nice people, trying new foods and seeing how the local people live and amuse themselves along the seaside. That satisfied my first travel desire. The second place I had wanted to visit was inland from Pondicherry about three hours by car through villages, fields of rice, banana palms and goats and cows to the Ashram town of Tiruvalamalai, where a friend of mine from England has settled for half the year. I visit her each year when I go to London but it was special to see her in her lovely apartment near the ashram, which formed the central part of her life. The area near the ashram had a peacefulness that contrasted with the main part of the city, centered on the huge Shiva Temple and the business side of city life. The visit gave me another perspective of how one might live in India while following a spiritual path. It was very different than I had imagined and I was really glad that I had gone. After more days in Pondicherrywalking along the sea wall, enjoying the crash of waves and spray of water, eating French croissants that went limp in the humidity, watching families celebrate each evening walking up and down enjoying the street foods and ice creams, after admiring all the different outfits worn by the local womenwe moved on to a retreat called Quiet, which is run by the Germans who settled in Auroville, a spiri-

tual center. We stayed for four days in a simple, lovely room by the sea where fishing boats were pulled up on to the sand at the end of the day. We could have massages, float in tree hammocks, take walks, read and nap. We ate three delicious Indian vegetarian meals a day and met a most interesting cast of international travelers. The four days were soon gone and we were on our way back up to Chennai and a night train across to the western side of India. We made our train reservations before we left Chennai, booking two bunks on a first class night train. Each train experience I have had over the years in India has been totally different. This first class was of the simple variety with people shifting seats until the train took off and beds that were made with fresh sheets and pillows. We traded about until we got two bottom bunks, chatted with interesting Indians of all ages, visited food vendors hawking teas, coffees, meals and snacks and slept restlessly. Now, we were in a more tropical place and we had not made reservations far in advance but took advice from other travelers and booked rooms on the Internet before we moved from one place to another. It all worked out well. After a few days exploring Fort Cochin, we traveled to Aleppey and got onto a rice boat, which plies the backwaters for a dreamy and restful cruise for a night and day. The boat was all ours, with a bedroom and bath, a front deck and a driver. We had a cook who prepared three yummy meals served as we floated through a lake and rivers bordered by homes, churches, temples, schools, shops and rice fields. It was interesting to watch people washing clothes and listening to the slap, slap of clothing being beaten on the rocks. Small boats sailed up and down selling items to the seaside villagers while other people lolled on the passing rice boats, waving, dancing and taking photos and enjoying a jolly holiday.
The table overflowed with more food than we could ever eat and it was all beautifully presented. This, too, was another one of my totally satisfying dream experiences. For the last part of the trip, we went up to the hill station of Munnar, which is full of tea plantations that make the hills glow with shades of green rippling over hills and rocks. This was the last major place I had longed to visit on this trip. It too was perfect. The drive up the mountain left the heat behind us and carried us through different layers of plant growth until we came to spice farms where we stopped for an interesting tour of the medicinal and cooking spices used in auyervedic medicine and Indian cooking. We stayed in a small, sweet home, ate lovely food and had a car and driver at our disposal for two days. We visited tea plantations, craft projects, mountains, valleys and saw animals like monkeys, deer, Indian black tree squirrels and one wild elephant. It was a perfect ending to a lovely trip. On the way down, our driver took us to a hotel for lunch before reaching the airport for our flight back to Chennai and then onward to Los Angeles. On being served our lassis (a yogurt drink), the waiter managed to tip an entire glass over me as I was so nicely dressed in my new Indian outfit. As it dried, it became stiff like starch. Thats how I made my way home for the next 30 hours. It became a humorous story; how else does one deal with these problems? India is a very large country and covers every sort of climate and type of land, both urban, rural, mountain, desert, valley, cold and hot, wet and dry. I have found that the south is quite different from the more northern typically thought of as India regions. It was special and wonderful to be able to fulfill dreams of exploring and immersing myself in my dreams and the pleasures of such a special area filled with lovely, welcoming people.

The city lost points for not having a dedicated historic preservation commission, but received extra credit for its mansionization ordinance adopted in 2009 that reduced the potential size of new homes. The city received a score of 245 points out of a maximum total score of 245. The full report is at www.laconservancy.org/report-card.

City receives high marks for historical preservation

Claremont received an A+ in the 2014 Los Angeles County Preservation Report Card released on Tuesday, March 11 by the Los Angeles Conservancy, a nonprofit organization that works to recognize, preserve and revitalize the historic architectural and cultural resources of Los Angeles County. The report card assesses local governments efforts to ensure the preservation of historic and cultural resources. Each of the countys 89 cities are graded on the elements they have in place at the local level, such as ordinances and incentive programs, to help preserve historic places. Claremont was noted as an example of a city with an alternative approach to preservation. While the city does not have a specific preservation ordinance, it has passed several ordinances that together provide design review protection for historic resources. It was noted in the report that Claremonts preservation program began in the late 1960s before there was a stan-

Chittenden W. Bennett
Longtime Claremont resident Chittenden Watts Bennett, known to all as Chick, died on February 19, 2014. He was 85. Mr. Bennett was born in Oak Park, Illinois on September 18, 1928 to Elliot Chalmers Bennett and Ella Annette Bennett. In 1936, he moved with his family to Cleveland Heights, Ohio where his father took a job with a subsidiary of McGraw-Hill publications called Brown-Heywood, publishing magazines in the early days of the electrical industry. In 1938, he moved with his family to Bedford, Ohio. While living in Bedford, his father purchased a 180-acre apple and peach farm along Lake Erie, where young Chick and his younger brother Carveth lived and worked during the summer months in their teens. After graduating from Bedford High School, Mr. Bennett attended Case Institute of Technology where he studied electrical engineering. After service in the Army during the Korean War, he married his childhood sweetheart, Mary Carolyn Cross. They met as teenagers at a Methodist youth summer camp and were married in Bay Village, Ohio on July 12, 1952. Shortly afterwards, they

ogy department. Mr. Bennett continued to work as an independent consultant for several more years, traveling between California and Arizona. Mr. Bennett was a devoted husband and father. His main passions in life were his wife and children. He loved traveling with his wife, Mary. Their most memorable trips were a two-anda-half week tour of western Europe, a rail and sea adventure to Alaska and a 50th wedding anniversary cruise to Hawaii. The Bennetts were patrons of music and the arts. Chick and Mary were contributors to the Los Angeles Philharmonic and The Pasadena Playhouse, among other cultural causes. Mr. Bennett was also an avid amateur photographer, taking pictures at his high school reunion, friends weddings and all family occasions. He pursued his interest in railroads by volunteering his technical expertise to the Fairplex Garden Miniature Railroad at the Pomona Fairgrounds. He was interested in astronomy and enjoyed taking his telescope out to the desert to watch meteor showers. Working in the family fruit orchard as a teenager gave Chick a lifelong love of gardening and interest in the weather. He always had rain and weather gages and kept detailed weather charts. Mr. Bennett is survived by his four children, Julie, Robin, Elliot and Bonnie, by his grandson Justin and by his brother Carveth Whitfield Bennett, of Canton, Georgia. A private family memorial has been planned. A public celebration of Mr. Bennetts life will take place on Saturday, April 5 at 1 p.m. at Todd Memorial Chapel in Claremont, located at 325 N.

school together. The Noyeses love Elyse Steffens, the occupational therapist hired in November of 2012 to create an OT department for CUSD. Shes phenomenal, Ms. Noyes said. She really sees right past Lauren having any disabilities and works with her and teaches her. Previously, students at Danbury and throughout the district were seen by visiting occupational therapists from a private company, with the specialists working with students outdoors or in their classrooms. It was a pricey endeavor that allowed little flexibility with regards to appointment time. By contracting with Ms. Steffens as well as with a more recent full-time hire, occupational therapist Jennifer Blacksher, the district is saving a significant amount of money. Additional savings comes from having Danbury students, as well as special education students from other CUSD school sites, use the clinic at Danbury instead of being sent to OT gyms in other cities. Having an in-house clinic will save the district an average of $160,000 per year, Mr. Hamilton estimates. At the recent grand opening, both Lauren and Emily cavorted on the state-of-the-art equipment, joined by several children of Danbury staffers. There were youngsters grappling their way up a climbing wall, soaring on swings and rolling in a barrel. Lauren, who says she loves the swings, took a moment to circumnavigate a large, bouncy inner tube while holding onto crayon-bright poles. For Emily and most of the other young attendees, it was all fun and games. While Lauren likewise had a blast, the activity also served to strengthen her core, along with other benefits. The construction of the Claremont Occupational Therapy Clinic took about three years, from concept to completion. The facility includes an office, a conference room and a speech therapy room along with the

CHS coachs passion for his sport leads to 500th team win
ressure was starting to distract the Wolfpack at the Orange County Boys Volleyball Championships. They won the first set, 25-22, but their opponent, Woodbridge High, just came back from the second set, 25-20, on March 22.
Head Coach Bernie Wendling saw they were down, 14-10, in the final set. Every move, every block, was crucial for the Wolfpack to make a comeback. After digging for the ball and blocking offensive maneuvers, they managed to produce six consecutive scores for the win, 16-10. But there was another accomplishment that occurred that day. Coach Wendling earned his 500th career win in his 16th year coaching volleyball for Claremont High School. It was so much fun, Coach Wendling
said. We created our own momentum and the team learned how to win against a good team. The boys volleyball program has gained a credible reputation within the CIF Southern Section under Coach Wendlings guidance. Nine-time SPORTING league champions, LIFE All-American Geoff Powell: these are just a few of the awards earned by this Chino natives athletes. His passion for volleyball started at Chino High, but accelerated when he enrolled at the University of La Verne in 1975. Coach Wendling joined the mens volleyball team and found that of all the sports he played in high school, including football and track and field, this sport just seemed natural. While studying for a bachelors in physical education, he met his wife, Jacqui, who shared the same passion for volleyball. When they were done with practice or

a match, both would look for a recreational match or gym to continue playing volleyball, just to keep the momentum going. We are volleyball junkies, Coach Wendling said. Either my wife and I would say, Hey, there is a match going on over there, or Oh, there is a gym in East LA we can use. While he was attending ULV, his workload as an electrician became overwhelming. He had to postpone his studies in his junior year, thus putting an end to his collegiate volleyball career. He managed a few courses at a time to eventually earn his degree, along with teaching credentials, in 1995. When he started teaching in Chino in 1996, fate introduced him back into volleyball in the spring as Chinos new coach. It was a rough start. His first season ended with a 1-19 record but, in 1998, he had set an interview with CHS athletic director Rick Dutton to be the girls volleyball
coach. When Mr. Dutton first met Coach Wendling, there was a characteristic he saw that would be essential for the volleyball program: determination. He would walk into the gym like he was the luckiest guy in America, Mr. Dutton said. I dont think there is any coach who is more passionate about the sport than Bernie. Coach Wendling also became the boys coach in 1998, while continuing to coach the Chino Ayala girls team. Now managing three teams, he wasted no time nurturing his trade by attending coaching conferences and getting feedback from others like David Kniffin, head coach of the University of Irvine mens volleyball team. The coach is so gracious, Coach Wendling said. He would let me watch practices and I always learn how to be a better coach for next year. His Claremont career speaks for itself:

City gets earful over management of Wilderness Park
he large number of guests amassed at Taylor Hall to discuss issues regarding the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park on Monday night was a welcome throng, representing residents' commitment to helping the local open space thrive. Crowds at the park itself are another story, however, with attendees likening its increasing popularity to being mobbed.
The community meeting was one of three the city will hold in the next nine months as officials move forward with a master plan for the prominent local preserve, which spans more than 1,600 acres along the Claremont hillside. The popularity has caused concern for residents and users alike. Since 2006, the number of visitors to the Claremont Wilderness Park has skyrocketed from a reported 30,000 visitors to an estimated 300,000 annually, according to city officials. The growing number of visitors has created an equally concerning issue of traffic congestion, safety and enforcement. Packed lots have led to overflowing street parking and cars jammed bumper-to-bumper along adjacent streets. The city has made a series of temporary adjustments, including setting specific park hours and expanding the wilderness loops north parking lot at Mills Avenue, an estimated $365,000 venture. In order to make up the money, the city then implemented a charge for use of the lot. This quick fix, however, has done little to alleviate the problem. The lot often remains far from capacity as hikers seek out alternatives to paid parking. And while the city has since enacted parking restrictions on adjacent streets,

it has only moved the problem further into other neighborhoods. Lynn Hartman, a homeowner off Mt. Baldy Road, says on any given weekend as many as 20 cars can be seen parked just down the street from her home. Its car after car after car, she said. Its become a huge issue. I dont want to say force people to pay to use the park, but I want to know how we are going to address this. The overcrowding is not limited to the streets along the hillside. Several came forward to speak out on the conditions of the trail itself. While not wanting to limit the number of people
that use the parkhikers, mountain bikers, equestriansmany voiced that is has become increasingly difficult to share the road. Left-behind water bottles and other trash, long dog leashes and hikers wearing headphones unaware of approaching cyclists are also said to be a part of the problem. The location of the wilderness area in a high fire hazard zone is cause for further concern. Some suggested an entry fee be considered, while others encouraged the adoption of a daily maximum capacity to limit the numbers. Whatever the final decision may be, most were in agree-
ment that the biggest concern is making sure these measures are followed. We need to enforce these rules if they are going to work, said Christine Kenmore, a resident in the Claremont hills. Last December, the Claremont City Council approved the six-figure master plan in hopes of addressing these concerns and other overarching issues. MGI Consulting, a Berkeley-based consulting company that specializes in recreational areas, was hired to facilitate the plan, along with a technical advisory committee comprised of local

COURIERphotos/Steven Felschundneff Claremont resident Jacob Swodeck makes a tongue-in-cheek suggestion regarding mountain lion warning signs during a meeting on Monday in Claremont seeking public opinion on the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park Master Plan. Mr. Swodeck, who lives in the area directly below the parks Mills Avenue entrance, also had some serious suggestions about the parks growing popularity echoing the concerns of dozens of citizens who spoke at the meeting. The city has hired consulting firm MIG Hogle Ireland to draw up the plan ,which will take about a year to complete.
stakeholders. Though the names and contact information of those sitting on the board were not readily available at Mondays meeting, project lead John Baas assured they would be made available on the citys website, where all information relating to the master plan will be accessible. The master plan will not be limited to the parks carrying capacity or evaluation of the parking situation and litter problem. The scope of work will include creating an assessment of existing conditions at the park, and developing a site map and resource management plan to discuss ways of protecting and enhancing the parks natural wildlife. The Claremont Hills Wilderness Park is one of Claremonts greatest assets, and with the ownership of this park also comes great responsibility, or we
might say opportunity, said Paul Faulstich, professor of environmental analysis at Pitzer College. We have an opportunity to steward the land in a way that allows us to address conservation and preservation in a way of healing the land and thereby healing ourselves as well. It needs restoration and that would be a beautiful thing to engage through public participation. Residents will have further opportunities to provide feedback on the plan, tentatively scheduled for completion this December. Technical advisory committee meetings are open to the public and will take place on May 19, July 14 and October 6. Further community meetings will take place on July 21 and October 20. The consulting firm is working to include all information relating to the master plan on the citys website, under the recreation tab on the left-hand side of the page. For more information or to add input, contact the consulting team at chwildernessplan@gmail.com.

Through March 31: For over 35 years, Robin Temaiana Repp has been documenting and commenting on our contemporary society with different photographic methods. Beginning in 1969-70, as a student at UC Berkeley, she created photo silkscreen images and transformed them into protest posters. Since then, she has presented photo imagery in paintings, woodcuts, lithography, drawings, collages, and sculptures. Her current work is digital infrared photography, which portrays the emotions of fear and anticipation in the landscape. The use of infrared photography suggests a surrealistic and dream like future state. Infrared wavelengths are not visible to the human eye, but become apparent in the photograph. In this same way that people are fascinated by the landscape but fear what it may hold, infrared photography shows us a hint of the unknown from a safe distance.

South Hills strong hitting overpowers CHS baseball
t may have been early season jitters or a sudden drop in temperature, but Claremont High Schools baseball team could not find any effective tactic to stop the South Hills Huskies Wednesday.
A firm stance was present within the first three inningsfrom center fielder Jeremiah Maldonados big catch, to pitcher Jonathan Ochoa throwing a few strikeouts, but after a six-run surge made by the Huskies in the fifth inning, South Hills dominated in the end, 9-1. With the Wolfpack able to obtain only three hitsHuskies had 12Head Coach Geoff Ranney said consistency was not up to standards for their second league game. As you approach early in the game, you want to get in a good position to score runs, Coach Ranney said. We were able to limit [the Huskies] productivity in the beginning, but our consistency just did not work today. The strongest offensive was a double made by Maldonado at the bottom of the fifth inning, which allowed third baseman Isaiah Montoya to reach home giving the Wolfpack their only run. The team did have other chances to run up the score. In the bottom of the second inning, first baseman Brent Hollinger bunted toward South Hills third baseman. Fans cheered when they saw Ayala lose grip of the ball, allowing Hollinger to barely make it to first. This signaled shortstop Trent Troncone to bunt getting Hollinger in scoring position. We saw their infielders were not even on the grass and that gave us the signal to bunt, Hollinger said. Other key defensive maneuvers occurred when shortstop Anthony Olmos caught a hard hit ball by a South Hills shortstop in the bottom of the third inning. Before that, second baseman Jake Gentry assisted Ochoa by scooping the ball and firing it to CHS first baseman Jonathan Vance. Today just wasnt a good day for us. It wasnt like one thing stopped us, Olmos said said, emphasizing that the team suffered from countless small setbacks. We just have to be more aggressive. Claremont was forced to switch three pitchers. Ochoa pitched for the majority of the gamefive strikeouts but after the Huskies brutal impact in the fifth inning, 90, sophomore pitcher Art Corona took the mound. In the sixth inning, junior pitcher Noah Song managed to throw four strikeouts to end the Huskies momentum. The Wolfpacks next home game is Friday at 3:30 p.m. against Damien. Boys tennis crushes Damien, all singles players win Claremont Highs boys tennis team added another significant win, 15-3, in their away match Wednesday against Damien High. According to Head Coach Clint Rees, CHS singles players swept all nine victories. Sophomore Andrew Lehy, who won his three singles matches, played well. He gave one loss in one match, but still closed it with a 6-1 victory.
Coach Wendling led the Wolfpack to nine league championships as head coach, in 1998, 2002, 2006 to 2010, 2012 and 2013. Assistant coach Mainor Ramos, a CHS alum who was part of the 2006 and 2007 victories, admires his former coachs commitment to his players. Hes one of the guys who lives and breathes volleyball, Coach Ramos said. He will sacrifice an arm and a leg to help the guys. Whenever his teams have a rough season, Coach Wendling creates ways to motivate the players individually, always finding a positive outlook in a match, regardless if the Wolfpack won or not. You need to enjoy the journey, Coach Wendling said. If you only focus on wins, youll miss out. With all the achievements, Coach Wendling does not plan to retire any time soon. One goal for before retiring is getting 10 CHS alumni to coach volleyball at the collegiate level. There are currently five CHS alumni who South Hills Cory Cadek beats the tag from Claremont coach volleyball at universities within the NCAA, from first baseman Jonathan Vance on Wednesday during Iowa State University to Occidental College. their Sierra League varsity baseball matchup at CHS. Thats like a proud papa moment, whenever the kids find a way to take care of the family business, he said. The Packs double-team, sophomores Nathan Morgan Until then, admirers like Mr. Dutton value his neverand Eric Davis, won two matches and contributed to the ending passion for volleyball. impressive victory.

DATE OF SALE: 04/10/2014 TIME OF SALE: 10:00 AM PLACE OF SALE: BEHIND THE FOUNTAIN LOCATED IN CIVIC CENTER PLAZA, 400 CIVIC CENTER PLAZA, POMONA CA. STREET ADDRESS and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 754 VASSAR DRIVE, CLAREMONT, CALIFORNIA 91711 APN#: 8316-008-013 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, under the terms of said Deed of Trust, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $312,450.16. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county 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 20130210200409. 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.

Said sale will be made in an AS IS condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to-wit: $230,985.30 (Estimated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county 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 (714) 573-1965 or visit this Internet Web site www.priorityposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 1350779. 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.
