Dear Editor:
As a longtime Claremont resident and a
graduate of the Claremont Colleges, I
wanted to take a moment to acknowledge
David Shearers very thoughtful article
clarifying Claremont Heritages position
on Pomona Colleges proposed Museum
of Art.
I dont know anyone who wouldnt
love to see Pomona College build a gorgeous, state-of-the-art museum. The new
facility, as its been described, will undoubtedly serve as an invaluable resource
for both the Colleges and the Claremont
community.
But a beautiful structure capable of
showcasing art from LACMA, MOMA
and other prestigious collections throughout the country will also attract visitors
from Los Angeles, Pasadena and other
surrounding communities. I love the idea
of putting Claremont on the map in this
way, but placing the new museum on the
corner of Bonita and College Avenue will
surely exacerbate what has already become an untenable parking situation in
the Village. I believe the college is significantly underestimating this potential.
Pomona College is currently proposing
to move the Renwick House next to
Kenyon House on First Street to make
way for the museum at the corner of
Bonita and College. I sincerely hope the
city will insist on a different plan.
As stated in Mr. Shearers article, if
Pomona College is prepared to move a
historical home, why not tear down the
cottages on College Avenue, move the
Kenyon House to that location and then
build the 30,000-square-foot museum on
First Street? The new museum would
then be situated steps away from the colleges new studio art building, dance facilities, beautiful new parking structure,
the Metrolink station and eventual stop
ADVENTURES
for the Gold Line. There may be a compelling reason why this is not possible,
but the college should be pressed to explain why this is not an option.
Moving Kenyon next to Renwick and
placing the museum on First Street seems
like the ultimate win-win. We all benefit
from a fabulous museum accessible to
visitors arriving on foot, by rail and by
car, while moving the Kenyon House to
College Avenue enhances the residential
Victorian row that helps define our city.
There seems to be a perception among
Pomona College officials that the citys
opposition to their proposal is solely the
result of miscommunication and rumormongering, or that residents are simply
complaining just for the sake of complaining (yes, I understand this has been
said aloud at several college meetings).
I hope David Shearer and his colleagues
will continue to try to convince the college
that this is not the case, that our point of
view is thoughtful and well-considered,
and that the college should demonstrate
more understanding and flexibility as it
moves forward with its plans.
IN HAIKU
With an open heart

We honor one another.
Love is love today.

Dear Editor:
Claremont Monthly Meeting (Quakers)
welcomes the Supreme Court decision ruling that there be equal rights for marriage
of people in the LGBT community.
In November 2009, in keeping with
our testimony on equality, we declared
that we would not carry through the
legal offices for any marriage under the
care of the Meeting until there was
state/national recognition that marriage
be an equal right to all. This court action
directs our Meeting to lift the policy. We
do so with great pleasure.

Golden State, city attorneys go head-to-head at council
he citys eminent domain case

against Golden State Water Company was once again a big topic of
conversation at the Claremont City Council
meeting June 25. Council unanimously
adopted two amended resolutions authorizing the acquisition of the Claremont water
system, and approved the filing of an
amended complaint in the lawsuit.
The amendments were made to address an April 30
ruling by Los Angeles County Superior
CITY
Court Judge Richard Fruin, who orCOUNCIL
dered the city to file an amended complaint within 60 days after GSW sought to dismiss the
eminent domain case.
Unlike previous council meetings with water acquisition items on the agenda, the audience was sparse
aside from city staff, attorneys and a few residents. City
Manager Tony Ramos and City Attorney Sonia Carvalho addressed council briefly before opening the floor
to attorney Ken MacVey, who is representing the city in
the lawsuit against the water company.
The primary focus of this hearing today is to deal
with certain amendments to the resolutions of necessity, said Mr. MacVey. Those amendments focus on
clarifications and additions to the property descriptions.
The same findings that were considered in the prior
hearing on the resolutions of necessity are to be considered today.
Mayor Corey Calaycay then opened up the public
hearing, with the city clerk noting it had received a written objection from Golden State Waters attorney dated
June 18, 2015. George Soneff, who represents GSW,
took to the podium with additional objections.
According to Mr. Soneff, the listed real estate parcels
by the city aims to take from Golden State inexplicably
excludes parcels that are part of the Claremont water

system.
To cite just one example, Golden State owns a parcel, about one-quarter acre that contains a well and a
pump housethe Pomello sitethat is apparently not
being taken by the city and is left to Golden State, Mr.
Soneff said to council.
He went on to describe other properties that provide
service to Claremont as part of the system that are not
being sought by the city in its takeover.
Taking only a part of the properties creates a
stranded asset, causing severance damages, he said.
The city has failed to appraise those stranded assets as
the law requires.
Mr. MacVey disagreed and urged Mr. Soneff to review Golden States own filings.
The [Pomello] well is no longer identified in operation and has been taken out of the facilities index, Mr.
MacVey said on behalf of the city. What is being acquired is property that is necessary to acquire the system. Golden State Water can sell what we dont take.
And thats not a bad thing.
Mr. Soneff asserted that the citys list of desired real
estate includes properties that Golden State does not
own, such as an empty lot on Harrison Avenue, further
explaining that he is ready to take his observations before the judge.
It is my understanding that there is a well on [the
Harrison Avenue] site, but Golden State does not own
the parcel, Mr. Soneff said. This requires the city to
provide notice of this hearing to the actual owners of
those properties and to include them in the eminent domain lawsuit. The city has done neither. We are prepared to bring these defects to the courts attention and
the court will decide whether the city has proceeded
properly this time around.
The citys Financial Feasibility Report conducted in
2013 also continues to be a point of contention with
Golden States attorneys. Despite numerous requests,
according to Mr. Soneff, the city just wont give up the
goods as requested, and the water company is inclined

to take the battle to court once again.
We asked the city to disclose the report and the city
refused. We filed a lawsuit to force disclosure of the report and, ultimately, dismissed that lawsuit with the proviso that the city must reveal at least the financial
calculations, he said. The city printed out some
charts, but not the actual report. Were moved to compel that report in the court, but we shouldnt have to do
that. We believe everyonecertainly Golden State and
the publicdeserves to see the actual report.
Before leaving the podium, Mr. Soneff offered one
last proposal to Claremont.
If the city will agree to dismiss the lawsuit, publicly
reveal the full feasibility report and have at least one
public hearing to examine the financial wisdom of undertaking litigation, then Golden State will agree to
waive all costs and attorneys fees that its incurred in
the litigation up to now. [Golden State] will also agree
that if you then decide to go forward, it will be without
prejudice, he told the council. If you have a new proceeding, you can start fresh and you will not hear legal
objections from Golden State about the fact that you
tried it once or twice already.
The council offered no response to Mr. Soneffs
proposition. The citys attorney returned to the podium
one last time before council adopted the amended resolutions of necessity with a 5-0 vote.
Weve never told you this was going to be easy. We
never told you there werent going to be uncertainties in
this process, Mr. MacVey told the council. Golden
State has made it very clear that it is going to fight this
every which way it can. [In Ojai], they lost in court,
they lost before the Court of Appeal and theyre taking
that to the California Supreme Court. They are going
to go all the way. They are going to fight this and thats
also something [the city] needs to consider.
The citys offer to Golden State is available for viewing on the COURIER website.

Vista del Valle principal takes promotion, bids CUSD goodbye
he Claremont Unified School District has announced that Dave

Stewart is leaving his post as principal of Vista del Valle Elementary School.
Mr. Stewart has accepted a new job as executive director of professional development for the Capistrano
school district, according to Kevin Ward, CUSDs assistant superintendent of human services.
Of course we hate to lose him, but were happy for
him. Its really an outstanding opportunity, Mr. Ward
said. With his emphasis in AVID and teacher training,
its a great fit for him.
Mr. Stewart has been at the helm of Vista since the
2011-2012 school year. His tenure, though short, has
been a galvanizing force at the school. For instance, he
has gotten students active in Project Champion, a running club formed with the help of two-time Olympic
medalist Bryan Clay.
The project, for which both Vista and Oakmont have
served as pilot sites, involves students working towards
walking, jogging or running 100 miles by the end of the
year, while learning about the traits that define a true
champion. Students who reach the 25-mile mark get a
Project Champion T-shirt and bronze, silver and gold
medals are presented to kids who make it to 50, 75 and
100 miles.
Mr. Stewart and his wife Stacey Stewart, who is principal at Oakmont Elementary School, were also the first
site administrators in the CUSD to embrace the arrival
of the AVID college-readiness program at the elementary school level.
DAVE STEWART/continues on the next page

Vista del Valle principal Dave Stewart will be leaving Vista for a new position as executive director for professional development in Capistrano.
CITY NEWS
DAVE STEWART/from the previous page
In 2013, Vista Vikings and Oakmont Owls in fourth

through sixth grades embarked on the AVID curriculum.
During the 2014-2015 school year, third graders at the
school were introduced to AVID. The plan has been for
Vista and Oakmonts second graders to become part of
AVID in the fall. It remains to be seen whether the administrative change-up will impact that plan.
AVID stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination and is a program dedicated to closing the
achievement gap. Its a support curriculum covering
everything from career planning to college shopping and
from note-taking to organizational skills.
Despite her husbands departure from the district, Mr.
Ward said there is no indication that Ms. Stewart will
leave her position at Oakmont.
Mr. Ward posted the job opening for principal of Vista
on Friday, June 26, the day after Mr. Stewart gave notice,
and will continue to take applications through July 17.
He says a number of promising candidates have already
applied.
Youve always got interest in Claremont, he said.
Weve got a reputation that pays off.
While he wades through applications, Mr. Ward will
be looking for candidates possessing characteristics
CUSD stakeholders deem important. Parents are invited to paint a picture of their ideal principal at a meeting set for Thursday, July 9 at 7 p.m. in the
multi-purpose room at Vista, 550 Vista Drive. Staffers
will be meeting at the school on July 7 to share their
opinions on the new hire.
On the Vista website, Mr. Stewart posted a letter informing the school community that he has decided, after
much thought and prayer, to accept the new position.
As I think about what it is that I have left behind at
Vista, I hope that it is similar to what I have received from
you, he wrote. There have been few times in my life
where I have been surrounded by a school familythat
was able to push me to achieve more from myself that I
ever thought possible. I hope that I have been able to be
that person for youbeen able to help you to see, do and
achieve even more than you believed possible.
Mr. Stewart leaves behind fond memories of his colleagues at Vista, and of the students he has watched
learn and grow.
All of our students at Vista have shown they are destined for greatness, andI look forward to hearing about
your continued success, he wrote. Thank you for believing in me as your principal.I will miss you all greatly.

A not-so-smart thief took a trip to the
city jail after leaving behind his passport
at the scene of the crime. According to
Detective Hector Tamayo, 28-year-old
Matthew Chambers attempted to book a
stay at the DoubleTree Hotel around 9:15
p.m. with a stolen credit card. When the
card was declined, the Hacienda Heights
resident fled but left behind his passport.
Working with Claremont police, hotel
staff contacted Mr. Chambers and made
arrangements for him to pick up his passport. On June 27, police were waiting for
the thief when he arrived at the hotel and
arrested him for forgery and burglary.
*****
A handful of teenagers are lucky to be
alive after their car flipped over near
Claremont High School. According to
Det. Tamayo, the 16-year-old driver was
traveling north on Rosemont from
Scripps around 2 p.m. when he misjudged a turn. The vehicles tires clipped
the curb, sending the Honda Civic onto
its side and into a nearby yard. Thankfully, none of the four occupants was injured; the car was towed, and damage to
the homeowners property was estimated
between $250-$300.
*****
A Village shop employee fell for the
old bait-and-switch routine and the culprit remains at large. At approximately
6:30 p.m., an unknown man entered
American Apparel and bought a Chapstick for $4.17. The man gave the clerk a
$100 bill and some coins, for which she
provided him with $96 in change. After
the transaction, the thief discovered he
had four dollar bills to pay for his purchase and offered them to the girl instead. She accepted the $4 in ones and
gave him back the $100 bill, but failed to
retrieve the $96 she had previously given
to him before he fled the store. By the
time the clerk realized what had happened, the man was already long gone.
The suspect is described as a Hispanic
male, approximately 60 to 70 years old,
standing 5-feet 5-inches tall, with gray/

white hair and an average build. Anyone
with information is encouraged to call
Claremont Police at (909) 399-5411.
Thursday, June 25
A Claremont man was transported to
a local hospital after his vehicle smashed
into a stone and cement planter. The 69year-old male was driving his Honda
CRV west on Mt. Carmel at San Diego
Court around 5:45 a.m. when he made an
unsafe turn and his car collided with a
curb, coming to rest in a homeowners
planter. The senior driver suffered lacerations to the right side of his face and
hand, complained of pain to his thigh and
hip and was taken by ambulance to
Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center
for treatment.
*****
Vacationing Claremonters were notified that their home was burglarized
while they were away. A neighbor watching the house on the 400 block of Cinderella Drive told police that thieves
entered the residence through a rear door
some time between 10 p.m. on June 24
and 7 a.m. on June 25 and ransacked the
place. A full list of missing items has not
yet been detailed, but it appears the
thieves took jewelry and coins.
Friday, June 26
A New Yorker was thankful to Claremont police for coming to his rescue
after hed had too much to drink. Robin
Delacruz was discovered leaning against
a light pole near Butte Street and Campus Avenue around 4:45 a.m., where he
had a hard time maintaining his balance.
Police made contact with the 26-year-old
man, who had apparently urinated in his
shorts and didnt know where he was.
Im an idiot for drinking too much, he
told police, and added Thank you for
helping me. Mr. Delacruz was arrested
for public intoxication and taken to CPD
jail to sleep it off.

Construction begins on new

residence hall at Scripps
Scripps College is beginning construction on a
new residence hall, located at the southwest corner of
Mills Avenue and Platt Boulevard.
The two- and three-story building has a floor area
of 38,500 square feet, and a capacity of 110 beds.
The building is needed to reduce crowding in student
residence halls and accommodate existing students
currently housed off-campus.
The Spanish-style building is composed of a series of courtyards, arched colonnades and perimeter
garden walls placed close to the sidewalk. It is designed to match the style of other dormitory buildings located at Scripps. Architectural details include
a clay tile roof, wood windows, copper gutters, precast concrete columns and ornate Spanish and Moroccan detailing in a style similar to the original
Gordon Kaufmann-designed campus buildings.
There will be a loss of existing parking due to the
project, but Scripps will have a surplus of parking
spaces due to the recent construction of a parking
structure below the adjacent athletic field.
Claremont police responded to two

home invasions within one hour. According to Det. Tamayo, thieves used a
tool to pry open a rear bedroom window
to gain access to a residence on the 500
block of Sycamore Avenue around 8
p.m., activating the homes alarm system. Police arrived to the home but the
intruders had already fled. At 8:45 p.m.,
a second home on the 900 block of
Amador was also burglarized. A neighbor, who knew the residents were out of
town, noticed a light on and heard noises
coming from the house and contacted
Claremont police. Sure enough, a rear
window had been pryed open, the home
was ransacked and the burglars had left
undetected out the back door. A list of the
missing items has not yet been provided
to police.
Saturday, June 27
The man suspected of stealing baby
formula and razors from Stater Bros. on
several occasions was arrested after committing the same crime. Johnny Lopez
entered the supermarket on Foothill
Boulevard at 1:10 p.m. and loaded up on
six cans of baby formula and 10 Gillette
razors worth $367. The 21-year-old Diamond Bar resident was spotted by store
security and detained until police arrived.
Mr. Lopez told officers hed fallen on
hard times and was just trying to feed his
kid. He was arrested for misdemeanor
shoplifting and booked at Claremont jail.
*****
A Claremont resident was airlifted to
USC Medical Center after a truck struck
her while she crossed the street. The 54year-old female pedestrian was in the
crosswalk on Foothill Boulevard and
Mills Avenue when the 19-year-old
driver of a Dodge Ram 1500 failed to
yield, hitting her with his vehicle. The
victim, who told officers she couldnt remember what had happened, suffered injuries to her head, neck, back and right
wrist. The woman was transported by
helicopter to USC Medical Center for
treatment and her condition remains unknown.
Sunday, June 28
An Azusa resident, not even old enough
to buy beer, was arrested for driving under
the influence. David Barrera was spotted
by Claremont police around 2 a.m. after
the vehicle he was driving began weaving
in and out of lanes near Bonita and Towne
Avenues. Officers pulled over the 19-yearold driver, who exhibited signs of intoxication but told police he hadnt been
drinking. Following a series of field sobriety tests, Mr. Barrera admitted to drinking and he was arrested for DUI. He was
taken to CPD jail where he was booked
and later released.
*****
It was bottoms up for a Glendora gal
who couldnt keep her feet firmly planted
on the ground. Katherine Figolah was
staggering around First Avenue and Indian Hill at approximately 7:15 p.m.
when Claremont police made contact
with her. The 34-year-old woman in
heels had a hard time keeping her balance, first falling onto her friend and then
hitting the ground on her bottom with her
feet high in the air. Ms. Figolah was arrested for public drunkeness and was released following detox.
*****
Tipsy driver equals drunk driver, a lesson quickly learned by a Chino woman
who had a difficult time distinguishing
between the two. According to Det.
Tamayo, Kathy McIntyre had left a 70th
birthday party at the DoubleTree Hotel
around 10:25 p.m. when she got behind
the wheel of her Chevy Equinox and
made an illegal U-turn on Foothill at
Berkeley. Claremont officers witnessed
the maneuver and conducted a traffic
stop. During their investigation, Ms.
McIntyre exhibited signs of alcohol intoxication and admitted to having a couple of glasses of wine at the party. When
asked if she was feeling the effects of the
alcohol, the 46-year-old woman told police, No, Im just tipsy! After admitting she didnt feel safe driving, the
Chino resident was arrested for DUI and
booked at Claremont jail.

Church floats a great idea: honoring Special Olympics
heres an entry in Claremonts

upcoming
Fourth of July parade
that carries an important message: all special needs individuals deserve to thrive.
Granite Creek Community Church has
built a float dedicated to the Special
Olympics. The timing is perfect becausewith the City of Trees serving as
a host town for this years athletesthe
spirit of the games has caught the imagination of Claremont residents.
The float is eye-catching, featuring
sparkly red, white and blue garlands and
an Olympic torch, its cellophane
flames flickering in a draft from a hidden leaf-blower. The piece de resistance
is a circular logo that at first blush resembles a peace sign. It is, in fact, the
logo for the Special Olympics World
Games, painted with brightly colored
strips of tape applied by Granite Church
members who are part of the Thrive program.
Thrive is all about adaptation, helping
kids receive the churchs scriptural teachings while building life skills in a way
that works for them. Thrive provides support for congregants who are physically
or developmentally disabled or for whom
the stimulus of a crowded service or
bustling Sunday school class would
prove overwhelming.
Whenever possible, special needs kids
are integrated into Granite Creeks regular Sunday school classes. Those who
would benefit from a smaller program
with a modified Sunday school lesson
and assistance like hand-over-hand help
during art projectsare welcomed to the
Thrive classroom during the 11 oclock
service.
There are usually four or five guests,
the most regular of which is 14-year-old
Cameron Maglio. It makes sense considering that Cameron, who has autism,
was the inspiration for the program. His
soothing to those with autism. When they

passed a collection plate, the congregation gave generously, and the Thrive kids
got their improvements.
Obviously, Ms. Maglio approves of
the affirming efforts of the Special
Olympics. When she learned that Claremont would serve as a host town, she
hoped to have the church host a reception
for the athletes. Learning their schedules
were booked, she did the next best thing.
Ms. Maglio and her husband Mike coordinate the churchs float-building effort. When they began brainstorming,
she suggested that the entry celebrate the
Special Olympics as well as the churchs
own very special ministry.
Cameron and other Thrive participants
will ride on the float if they feel up to it,
or they can opt to ride in the air-conditioned truck pulling the entry. The

July 4 marching band looks for enthusiastic, irregular musicians
he Claremont Irregulars have been

a regular presence in the citys
Fourth of July parade since 1977.
The marching band was first started by Jim Basher,

who felt the patriotic promenade didnt have enough
music. He put an ad in the COURIER looking for interested musicians, and got a dozen takers.
Weve been marching ever since, says Philip Dryer,
one of the founding members and a trombone player
with the Claremont Symphony Orchestra.
Mr. Basher moved to Maryland shortly after starting
the Irregulars. Mr. Dreyer took over as the leader of the
band, which nowadays typically has about 25 participants. They show up and launch into the same two
pieces they always play, the Souza march The Washington Post as well as John N. Klohrs 1901 composition The Billboard March.
The Claremont Irregulars dont compete with the El
Roble and Claremont High bands, which generally lead
off the parade. Instead, they get started halfway down
the route, when the strains of the school bands have
faded.
Armin Breyer brings up the tail end while performing

with the Claremont Irregulars during the 2012 Fourth
of July Parade.
A lot of the Claremont Irregulars are older people, so

each year the group loses some participants to retirement. As a result, the Claremont Irregulars are always
trying to recruit new members. Its a challenge, Mr.
Dryer said, because its been so hot in recent years.
You have to be able to take the heat, he laughed.
For Mr. Dryer, who began playing trombone at age 12,

the Claremont Irregulars is a family affair. His wife Janet
always leads the pack, carrying the ensembles banner.
Despite soaring temperatures, the marchers have a lot
of fun. The parade, for one, has small-town charm in
spades. This is straight out of Norman Rockwell, Mr.
Dryer said.
Adding to the appeal is the fact that the musicians are
received with all the fanfare of local dignitaries.
People are very excited and very happy. We get
compliments all over the place, Mr. Dryer said.
Are you a brass, percussion or woodwind player who
wants to join Claremonts most irregular musical family? Meet at 3 p.m. on July 4 at the corner of 10th
Street and Yale Avenue. Sheet music will be provided.
Simply bring your instrument and, for the sake of the
holiday spirit, dress in red, white and blue.
Mr. Dreyer gets a lot of people coming up to him in
the days and weeks before the holiday. People always
ask me, will the Irregulars be there? And I always say,
of course.
For information, call (909) 624-9877.

After a spring cleaning, a new look at the Village

by John Pixley
had bags of clothes. They were lined

up on my futon. Perhaps thats what
happens when one goes, as I did, to
New Jersey for a weekend in February,
when I could see 300-year-old grave
markers dusted with snow and a frozen
river two blocks away. Perhaps its what
happens after such a wake-up from a
quick trip to such a different place.
It certainly was a jolt for me, waking me up. For
one thing, there were those bags of clothes on the
futon a month or two later in the spring. They were
not bags of new clothes. No, these were bags of
clothes I was getting rid of. It turned out the New Jersey trip got me to finally clear out my closets, or at
least some of them.
Along with a bunch of Oxford shirts and hoodies
among other items, there was quite a collection of
overalls that I had built up over the years, primarily at
thrift stores. I wear them regularly but, while I have
gotten a kick out of guys writing proudly online that
they have hundreds of overalls, it finally hit me this
spring, after waking up in New Jersey, that having
hundreds of overalls (actually dozens of overalls)
doesnt make sense. It was absurd.
Some of the overalls in the bags were quite cool.
They were tye-dyed or bleached or they were unique
cut-offs or interesting colors like yellow or had interesting prints. But they were too small or too big, or I
have others just like them and never wore them. It
was finally time to clear the clutter, free up some
shelves (literally) and get rid of them.
I put aside two of the bags with the less worn, more
unique stuff, thinking I could get some cash for them.
I also thought of going to Silver Lake, the Los Angeles neighborhood with a sophisticated but laid back
artistic, hippie/hipster vibe. After all, Ive been told
Im very Silver Lake, and its a place I feel at home
on a visit. Even more so than a place like West Hollywood, where it feels like its all about what one looks
like or what one drives.
observer
But friends kept suggesting that I might try to sell
the clothes at Deluxe, which sells second-hand and
vintage clothes in the Village. These friends included
a couple who have visited from LA, and they were
saying, more or less, that Deluxe, along with other
stores in the Village, is like Silver Lake. Or at least
not that unlike Silver Lake. And it turned out they
were right.
Not only did I get a good amount of cash for some
of my clothes at the shop, but I also got another
needed jolt or at least a needed reminder about the
Village. Yes, I enjoy seeing movies at the Laemmle
Cinema 5I have written numerous times about how
the theater has given Claremont and the Village a real
boostand I see the people sitting and talking in the
plaza out front. And I see not only the stores that have
always been in the Village, like Rhino Records and
the Folk Music Center, but also new ones like Deluxe.
Whats more, there are times when I pass through
the Villagewith all those shops and restaurants, old
and new, and the groups of people walking around
and I think it could be like downtown San Luis
Obispo, which has gotten to be a downright happening place in the last 15 years or so.
But this is not just a wish. The Village is, indeed,
like downtown San Luis Obispo. There are lots of attractive little shops and more and more in recent years
there are bunches of people, at least on weekends.
Many times, the restaurants are full and live music is
heard coming out of some.
No, the Village is not just a place to pass through
on the way to see a movie or on the way out of town
to Silver Lake or Santa Monica or Pasadena. It isnt
just a sweet place in town, nice for the locals to stop
by. No, the Village is a place where my friends from
LA, and apparently lots of people from other places,
like to come to and enjoy.

Really, going to Deluxe is like going to the cool
second-hand store I used to go to in downtown San
Luis Obispo or the one I discovered a few months ago
in the Hillcrest area of San Diego. And eating at a
restaurant like Junction, which has kimchi tacos and
other intriguing Korean/Mexican street food mashups, is just as much of an adventurous taste treat as
going to one of my eating spots, including the hardcore vegan ones in LA.
And, in some ways, its even betterand not just
because theres traffic or a long drive getting there.
The Village may be like downtown San Luis Obispo,
but it isnt really like Silver Lake. And it isnt like
Pasadena or Santa Monica, which is for the best.
It is why my LA friends like the Village.
The fact that the Village is part of a small town at
its heart makes it more than a series of shops and
restaurants, and certainly more than just a place to
pass through. Being this happening place with this
small-town feel is what makes the Village the Village.
Like I said, its why my friends from LA enjoy it here.
It is why there is concern about the condos being
built in the Village, with worries about more crowds
and congestion. I understand these concerns, but they
keep coming up every time theres something new in
the Village, as if there shouldnt ever be any changes.
There was also the letter recently in these pages
about an unfortunate confrontation outside the Some
Crust Bakery. Sure, such an encounter is upsetting
and may feel contrary to what should happen in a
nice, small town (not that it should happen in other
communities, including big hustling cities). But, in an
effort to prevent them, we shouldnt keep the Village
from changing and becoming an ever-more vibrant
and attractive destination.
A friend recently said that he would be out of town
for the Fourth of July and would particularly miss the
parade. He said he loves its small town feel. What
is even better, and all the more to celebrate, is that our
July 4 festivities, like the Village, are still small-town.
Even as they change into something new.

Flagging the flag

by Mellissa Martinez
ast week, I noticed the red, white

and blue repurposed mailbox stationed outside of Claremont City
Hall. Inscribed on the box were the words
Deposit Used Flags Here.
For a moment, I wondered if this relic had been
placed on the street for a 1950s movie set. Curious to
see if people actually followed the US code, which
states that the flag should be discarded in a dignified
manner, I peered inside and, in disbelief, saw flags.
I realize that there might be a distinct generational difference in matters that dictate respectful treatment of the
flag. Perhaps my parents take for granted that everyone
knows to discard the flag with reverence, but I wonder
if younger Americans are informed about appropriate
flag protocol. The current controversies surrounding
both the Confederate flag and the US flag being
stomped on in what is known as the Eric Sheppard
Challenge have brought attention to our strong emotions
associated with the flag. Tomorrows Independence Day
celebrations might be an occasion for us to contemplate
our deeply entrenched feelings.
Readers may wonder why a language column would
broach such a topic. The answer is straightforward
human interpretation of symbols has long been considered within the field of linguistics. The study of signs
and symbols, known as semiotics, first emerged from
the work of Swiss-French linguist Ferdinand de Saussure. Along with American philosopher Charles Peirce,
Saussure sought to better understand the relationship be-
LEX
IN THE
CITY
tween physical signs, the objects they refer to and the
role of the human interpreter.
In semiotics, a symbol is defined as a sign that does
not have a direct link to meaning. In other words, the
meaning is determined solely through interpretation of
the viewer, who draws on cultural or personal experience. This may explain why it is difficult to turn the
other cheek when we see a flag associated with hatred
being flown on government property. In the same vein,
many experience rage when the US flag is defaced. Perhaps it is exactly this unavoidable human response that
prompts hate groups and extremists to use the flag as a
vehicle for protest.
As a child, I watched the popular television show The
Dukes of Hazzard. I had no idea that the Confederate
flag painted on top of the famous orange car, General
Lee, represented the subjugation of an entire race of people. I wonder now, did a more culturally aware child recognize the symbolism? Did my African American
friends recoil at that show? Although I cant say at what
point I became aware of the not-so-nuanced history of
the Confederate flag, I now cringe when I see it, filled

with a feeling of embarrassment and fear. A distinct feeling of shame is now associated with those lazy afternoons laughing at the sitcom.
Although flags of all stripes are deeply embedded in
human culture, they are all open for interpretation. Last
year, an international student came to my office in disbelief. He had always heard that Americans were patriotic and so he couldnt understand why we were
wearing iterations of the flag in the form of bathing suits,
T-shirts and baseball caps. In his country, wearing the
flag in such a way was considered the desecration of a
sacred symbol. I explained that in the US, many wore
some allusion to the flag as a sign of patriotism and
maybe nationalism, meaning no disrespect to the flag.
First recorded in English, the etymology of the word
flag is uncertain. It exists in most modern Germanic
languages including Danish flag, Swedish flagga, Dutch
vlag and German flagge. One theory is that it originated
from the Dutch vlaggheren to flutter or flicker. In this
case, it would be an onomatopoeic formation from the
sound generated from flapping in the wind. Another theory says that the word is of English origin from flage
square, flat cloth, recorded in 1139 as a word used for
infant clothing.
Whatever its origin, one thing is for sure: over the
years, the flag has come to mean much more than a simple piece of cloth or the sound made by material flapping
in the wind. Depending on ones cultural, religious or
racial association, feelings ranging from love to hatred,
pride to embarrassment, and from elation to disappointment are regularly inspired by this powerful symbol.
Blues, brews brings boon to Village
ager crowds crammed

the Village last Saturday to cool down with
a few cold ones at this years
Claremont Craft Beer Walk.
Now in its sixth year, Blues and
Brews, as the beer walk was originally
dubbed, is one of the most anticipated
events of the summer for local craft
beer connoisseurs. This year was no exception, with tickets selling out for the
second year in a row. Due to the popularity of the event, the Village Marketing Group decided to increase ticket
sales from 1350 to 1600.
Organizers also expanded the event
by featuring 41 tasting sites, more than
30 breweries pouring, 33 restaurants
sharing and 15 live music performances.
At the beginning of the day, guests
were given 15 tasting tickets along with
a souvenir mini-pilsner glass. Participants were excited to find that while
their beer glasses were small, their tastings were not. The beer-pour sizes also
received a hike from two-and-a-half
ounces a pour to three ounces.
For guests who were not interested in
beer, or those who pulled the short
straw and had to be the designated
driverin our case Jenelle Rensch
there was a multitude of non-alcoholic
treats to fill up on. Some of the highlights included succulent barbeque beef
from Joeys Barbeque served at the
Grove Vintage, crunchy potato flautas
from Casa Moreno provided at Senergy
One Lending and an over-sized meatball made by Lordsburg of La Verne
handed out at the Diamond Center.
Among all of the decadent fare, there
was a clear favorite of the day; I Like

Heather Silvestre and Beth Hartnett taste a handcrafted beer from Old Stump Brewing Co. at The Grove during the Claremont Village Blues and Brews.
Pie. The local pie store, which got its

start at Claremonts Wine Walk, was
serving up endless samples of their
most popular confections.
I Like Pie isnt the only business that
got its start at one of Claremonts
widely-attended Walks. The Hamilton
Family debuted their wares two years
ago at this very event. Inspired by the
positive feedback, they opened the
Hamilton Family Brewery in Rancho
Cucamonga last year.
Two new breweries are hoping to
have the same success. Kings Brewing
Co., with plans to open its doors early
next year in Montclair, served up some
unique brews to the thirsty throngs.
Head brewmaster Jeremiah Cooper
says they use an 80 percent dry hopping
technique, along with all-natural ingredients, to set themselves apart from the
competition.
Old Stump Brewery has a somewhat

different approach with its motto, Go
Big or Go Home. Head brewer Harald
Gallob and his partners secured a
12,000-square-foot location right off
Bonita Avenue in north Pomona, where
they plan on making large quantities of
California-style seasonal beers.
The Village Marketing Group and
Beer Walk coordinator Sonja Stump
work every year to bring in new and
unique breweries to give visitors an experience they wont get anywhere else.
We pride ourselves on putting on
quality events, and I love showing off
our Village, Ms. Stump said.
This year was one for the books,
bringing more visitors to Claremont
than ever before. What is so cool is
there are a lot of out-of-towners, Ms.
Stump said.
Her husband and co-coordinator,
Bob Fagg, echoed this sentiment.

There were so many faces that I
didnt recognize at all, he said.
With an influx of visitors, Village
businesses get an immense amount of
exposure. But the event doesnt just
benefit them. A portion of the proceeds
goes towards local nonprofit organizations: Pomona Valley Hospital Medical
Center Auxiliary, Rancho Santa Ana
Botanic Garden, Cal Poly Global Water
Brigade and Shoes That Fit.
Mr. Fagg said that the wine and beer
walks initially began as a way to bring
new people into the Village, but they
soon realized they were making a bit of
a profit. Not one to let an opportunity
pass, Mr. Fagg and the Village Marketing Group joined together to find worthy causes worth the walking.
I think the beer walk is really special. I see it becoming the premier event
in Claremont, said Mr. Fagg.
Missed the beer walk? Not to
worryClaremont Wine Walk is right
around the corner on Saturday, September 12. Ticket sales begin on August 1
at ClaremontWineWalk.com. You
wont want to miss this one.

Phillip Lund
OBITUARIES
Aerospace engineer, veteran

Former Claremont resident Phillip
Lund died peacefully in Pasadena on June
7, 2015. He was 90.
Mr. Lund was born in Los Angeles on
September 18, 1924 to Halvor and Loretta
Lund, the youngest of three children.
After his mothers death, he was raised by
relatives in Ogden, Utah. Upon graduating from Ogden High School in 1942, he
returned to Los Angeles. He served his
country in the navy during World War II
and, upon the conclusion of his service,
worked in the burgeoning aerospace industry.
In August 1947, he married Virginia
Howe, a union that lasted for 55 years
until her death in December 2002. The

couple moved to Claremont in 1956. Mr.
Lund was an aerospace engineer at Lockheed Aircraft in Ontario until his retirement in 1981.
In the 1990s, the couple moved to the
Seattle area, where Mr. Lund worked at
Boeing on the 777 Dreamliner. In 2000,
he returned to Claremont and became an
active member of the Claremont Senior
Bike Club. In 2013, he moved to a senior
living community in Pasadena.
His interests varied over the years, including scuba diving, sailing, cycling and
playing guitar, banjo and piano. In addition to his wife Virginia, he was prede-
ceased by his brother Allan and sister

Beverly. He is survived by his sons, Jeff of
Sylmar and Mike of Pasadena, his companion of 10 years Nancy Harter of Dallas, Oregon and several cousins, nieces
and nephews.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, July 18 at 2:30 p.m. at Marwick
Place at Monte Vista Grove Homes, 2889
San Pasqual St. in Pasadena.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that
donations be made to Friends of Claremont Senior Foundation, Inc., 660 N.
Mountain Ave., Claremont CA 91711, or
to Monte Vista Grove Homes in Pasadena
or Methodist Hospital in Arcadia.
After graduating from Bend High

School in 1978, Mr. Parsons studied at
Central Oregon Community College. He
was a graduate of Northwest Christian
University in Eugene, Oregon and of the
American Baptist Seminary of the West
in Berkeley, California and received his
PhD from Graduate Theological Union
in Berkeley.
Mr. Parsons served for 16 years on the
faculty and staff of Disciples Seminary
Foundation and the Claremont School
of Theology, where he was assistant professor of religion and music and later
dean of Disciples Seminary Foundation.
DSF named him Dean Emeritus in 2014
in recognition of his outstanding service
and enduring legacy. Marks spirit in
teaching and guidance, counsel and mentoring as dean encouraged and supported
many in finding their pathway for life.
John Berquist first met Mr. Parsons
many years ago when they were both attending Northwest Christian University.
They were reunited four and a half years
ago when Mr. Berquist became president of Disciples Seminary Foundation.
He was wonderful with our studentshe was such a kind and gracious
mentor, Mr. Berquist said. He had a
great sense of humor, kind of a sharp wit
about him. He helped the rest of us not
take things too seriously.
Mr. Parsons remained enthusiastic
about music, especially liturgical music,
classical music and big band. He published a number of articles about liturgical music, the most recent being a piece
called God is in the Radio: Music Theology in a Secular Age for Theological
Education in a Secular Age.
Another favorite pursuit was the refurbishment of classic muscle cars. In
recent years, Mr. Parsons pet project was
a 1965 Plymouth Belvedere, which he lovingly restored and embellished with a
shimmering copper paint-job. His younger
brother Paul occasionally flew in from
Oregon, staying for several days to visit
and help work on the car. Before his death,
Mark gave the Belvedere to Paul.
In January 2010, he married his wife
Jeannemarie. His life was greatly enriched by the union, and by the time he
spent with her sons Ian, Aidan and Collin,
according to Marks dad.

He developed a very close relationship with her three boys. He didnt try to
be fatherhe just wanted to be a good
step-father, the elder Mr. Parsons said.
He had a lot of respect for them and they
had a lot of respect for him. It was just a
really strong, caring relationship.
After he fell ill, the Disciples Seminary
Foundation set up a scholarship fund in
Mr. Parsons name with the goal of raising $10,000. The foundation has already
exceeded that amount, having raising almost $20,000, and was able to start
awarding the scholarship a couple of
years ago. Mark was able to pick the first
group of scholarship winners.
Family and colleagues say Mr. Parsons is already deeply missed. He was
wonderful. The boys loved him dearly,
Jeannemarie said.
Mark is survived by his wife,
Jeannemarie, and three stepsons, Ian,
Aidan and Collin Fitzpatrick. He is also
survived by a brother and sister-in-law,
Paul and Eri Parsons of of Bend, and his
parents, David and Avalon Parsons of
Bend.
A memorial service will be held this
fall in the chapel of the Claremont School
of Theology, with the date to be determined.
Donations in Marks memory may be
made to the Mark David Parsons Scholarship Fund at the Disciples Seminary
Foundation, 300 W. Foothill Blvd.,
Claremont CA 91711.
Mark David Parsons

Dedicated professor, gifted musician
Mark David Parsons died peacefully,
surrounded by his family, on June 3,
2015 at his parents home in Bend, Oregon following an extended battle with
cancer. He was 55.
Mr. Parsons was born on December
29, 1959 in Enid, Oklahoma to David
and Avalon Parsons, and spent his junior
high, high school and early college years
in Bend. He developed an interest in music early on, taking piano lessons and
then moving onto the trumpet, followed

by the French horn.
He took singing lessons, honing his
rich baritone, and played several instruments in his high school jazz band. He
also began tinkering with cars as a teen,
taking them apart and refurbishing them.
His dad recalls the time when young
Marks room was graced by a torn-out radiator and transmission for an entire winter.

Welcome to Deadwood: Claremonts tree emergency

by John Neiuber
erhaps the title of the column is a

bit hyperbolic, and there is no immediate danger of the town losing
its designation as the City of Trees. But
sometimes hyperbole is an effective tool
to get peoples attention about an emerging issue that should be of concern to us
all.
The combination of drought and the implementation
of well-intentioned initiatives are beginning to lead to
a die-out of one of the most historic aspects of the
citythe trees.
As I wrote in this column back in June of 2012,
Trees are one of the defining features of Claremont
and its neighborhoods. The history of trees in the city
is the history of the city. Six days after the first town
meeting in 1889, the three-member tree committee secured 250 trees and sought counsel from the townspeople on what trees should be planted on each street.
That was the beginning of tree planting in Claremont.
That first action is what led to the spectacular urban
forest we enjoy today.
Unfortunately, the urban forest is under stress.
There are examples all around town of trees in distress; some on private property and some in parkways.
However, the best example of the tree emergency is
right in the heart of the city. Take a look along Indian
Hill from Harrison to Foothill and one will see at least
three dead American Elms and a number of others that
are struggling. No one set out to kill these trees. These
dead or distressed trees are the result of early adopters
of low or no-water landscaping. The intent was to save
water as the drought began and worsened; however,
the trees in our parkways or on our property cannot
survive without a watering strategy.
It is not a matter of saving water or saving trees. It
is not an either/or dilemma. We can save water AND
save our trees. A coalition of civic groups, including
the city of Claremont, the Claremont Garden Club,
Claremont Heritage, Drought Resistant Irrigation Program (DRIP), the Interfaith Sustainability Council, the
League of Women Voters of the Claremont Area, Ran-
cho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, Sustainable Claremont

and the Tree Action Group, is coming together to get
the word out to the community about what can be
done about the tree emergency.
If you have already adopted a low-water landscaping solution and you did not include the trees in your
parkway or on your property, it is not too late to install
a drip irrigation system or adopt other means to address your trees watering needs. Watch for signs of
stress. If the leaves start to wilt, look grayish or yellow, or if the edges start to go brown or curl, water as
soon as you are allowed under the drought restrictions.
Most mature trees need water once or twice a
month. Water needs to soak down at least 18 inches.
Use a soaker hose spiraled under the drip line of your
tree (the soil beneath the edge of the leaves). Install a
drip system or use an oscillating sprinkler on a low
setting to slowly soak as much of the root system as
possible. To ensure the tree is getting enough water,
measure using a soil probe available at home improvement stores.
Young trees need about 15 to 20 gallons of water
about once a week. Create a 3- to 4-foot wide basin
around the tree to hold the water. Use a bucket to deliver water slowly into the basin. You can conserve
water and keep your young tree healthy. Collect water
in a bucket while your shower warms up. Drill a 1/8inch hole near the bottom of a second bucket and
place it near the trunk of your young tree. Fill the second bucket with the shower water you saved. The
water will slowly drip into the soil. The young tree
only requires about the same amount of water used in
a 6-minute shower. Reduce your shower by one
minute a day and your tree will thrive.
The city is responsible for planting and pruning the
trees in our parkways, but homeowners are responsible for watering them. This arrangement dates back to
the beginning of the planting of trees in the city. Go
ahead and remove those sprinklers and install lowwater landscaping, but dont forget to include a drip
system for the parkway trees.

This large eucalyptus tree on Foothill Boulevard was
deemed hazardous and was removed earlier this year
as part of the Foothill corridor project in Claremont.
The benefits of just the nearly 20,000 street trees,

consisting of 245 species, are immeasurable. They
offer a tremendous pedestrian experience; they absorb
carbon dioxide and produce oxygen; they cool our
homes; they define the character and charm of a
neighborhood and its homes; and they provide shade
in our public places. In a study completed in 2014, the
City of Claremont Municipal Forest Assessment, the
authors quantified the economic benefit stating The
street trees in Claremont provide just over $3 million
annually in benefits. The largest benefit was attributed to increased property values and aesthetic enjoyment at over $2.8 million.
Recently, Claremont was named one of the 10 most
beautiful towns on the west coast by travel site,
TheCultureTrip.com. It joined Cambria, Nevada City
and Mendocino as the four towns from California. In
the citation about why it was selected, it said, Also
known as The City of Trees, this beauty is brimming
with stunning scenes around every turn, whether they
are historic buildings or groves of spectacular trees
approximately 23,000 treesthat include American
Elms, Eucalyptus, plus numerous other species.
Preservation is not just about the built environment.
It is about preserving history through written and
recorded accounts of events. It is about preserving the
cultural artifacts that have shaped us. It is about protecting our urban landscapes and our natural resources.
It is about preserving our urban forest. All of these
things are the stuff of which a city is made, the stuff
that informs and shapes us, and the stuff that defines
for us our relationship to our environment and to what
we elevate as important in our community.

Uncommon Good offers organic wares, help for the poor
n uncommon idea has come to

fruition, right here in town. Tucked
in a corner of the United Methodist
Church campus, there is a strange structure
with remarkable abilities.
The Whole Earth Buildinga solar-powered, earthcooled structure made from on-site soilserves as both
a store and a showcase of sustainable architecture.
There, Uncommon Good sells produce that is not only
organic but also farm-fresh, having been harvested on the
nonprofits Fiddleneck Farms. One of these is operated on
nearly 10,000 square feet of Temple Beth Israel grounds,
which TBI donated for the endeavor. Another farm will
be located on Claremont Presbyterian Church land, where
ground was broken last month.
Shopping at the Whole Earth Building is an experience
in itself. With its arched mud walls and rooftop garden,
it looks like something out of J.R.R. Tolkiens Hobbiton.
The building stands on land where the Tongva Indians
once resided, so before beginning construction, Uncommon Good founder Nancy Mintie and crew worked with
tribal descendants to ensure the regions indigenous heritage is properly honored. Native American art is included throughout the building, including wall paintings
featuring pictograms modeled after California cave paintings.
The region is also taken into account in the surrounding landscaping, which employs native plants as well as
nature-mimicking water-saving mechanisms such as a dry
streambed and a bio-swale located on a small portion of
the Claremont School of Theology campus.

Office manager Elizabeth Preciado, left, helps customer Nancy Macko select produce recently at Uncommon
Good. The organization has a number of urban farms where they grow vegetables to sell at their Claremont
location.
Farmers Miguel Bonilla, Jesus Salizar and Jose Luis Garcia harvest vegetables for Uncommon Good on Wednesday at Temple Beth Israel. They have planted about
a quarter acre of land at the Temple with produce such as kale, peppers and tomatoes.

Mr. Salizar weeds the onion patch at Uncommon Goods farm at Temple Beth Israel in Pomona on Wednesday.
UNCOMMON GOOD/from the previous page
The lush fruits and vegetables, which are

chemical- and pesticide-free, are sold at $1 to $3
per bunch. They are stored in a refrigerated shed
painted with child-friendly imagesa fairy blowing a flower trumpet and a scarecrow unsuccessfully guarding a field of pumpkins from
birdsin a nod to the kids at the Claremont
United Methodist Churchs preschool, who often
walk over with their teachers to purchase a
healthy snack.
Early this week, some two dozen types of produce, from cilantro to squash, were in stock.
Uncommon Good also takes donations of fruit
from residents whose branches runneth over, provided the produce has been prescreened and preapproved as organic and chemical-free.
Tracy Stoll, who works in advancement and
community outreach for the Mt. San Antonio
Gardens retirement community, recently brought
in a paper bag teeming with large home-grown
lemons. More often, shes a customer.
I love itthe kale, the spinach, the green
beans, she said.
Claremonter Michelle Mitchell, who recently
picked up a bag of collard greens and another of
organic lettuce, is another fan.
I love to get greens here, because you end up
with the best, beyond organic produce, she said.
There are so many choices, like collards and
beets, which I love so much. Its so fresh, it keeps
longer than anything.
Shopping Uncommon Good is an investment
in the larger community as well as in a healthier
diet, because the proceeds are used to fund the
nonprofits outreach efforts.
Uncommon Good adopts underprivileged
local families, providing nutritional, educational
and economic support to help break the cycle of
poverty. Its a tribal approach, with Uncommon
Goods tribe currently extending to 760 people.
The produce that isnt sold is distributed to participating families, who might not otherwise af-
ford fresh fruits and vegetables. But thats not the

extent of Uncommon Goods efforts.
Many of the parents the nonprofit serves find
employment through its Fiddleneck Farms.
Meanwhile, through the organizations Connect
to College Program, the kids are guided as they
pursue their K-12 education and aided in their
aim to go on to college.
Through an effort called Medical Education
Debt Relief, Uncommon Good also helps pay the
often overwhelming education bills of idealistic
young doctors, dentists, optometrists and pharmacists. The help frees participants to pursue
work at community clinics in low-income communities.
Uncommon Good was founded by Ms. Mintie
in 2000. Its organic produce is one of the bestkept secrets in Claremont, partially because the
city hasnt given the nonprofit permission to erect
a sign advertising its location.
For a while, Ms. Mintie sought to make up for
the deficit by affixing a sign to her parked car directing people to the Fresh Produce available
behind the preschool. In June, the city asked Ms.
Mintie to remove that sign.
Nevertheless, she hopes community members
will find their way to their location, to get a
glimpse at a very unique building surrounded by
a beautiful native landscape. And those who stop
by are likely to be greatly impressed by whats on
the menu.
You can select individual vegetables or pick up
a produce box filled with enough seasonal cooking vegetables and greens to feed your household
for the week.
It feels so good to have something to offer the
entire community, Ms. Mintie said. Everyone
needs good health, whether they are rich or poor.
The Whole Earth Building is open Monday
through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is located at 211 W. Foothill Blvd. To learn more, visit
www.uncommongood.org or call (909) 6252248.
Sarah Torribio
The new home of Claremont nonprofit Uncommon Good is made entirely from soil sourced from the land where the structure was built.
It has no traditional air conditioning, relying on insulation and the
unique design for cooling.

Through July 31: Artist, Steven Longs vibrant use of
color has been a constant over the span of his career. He,
like every artist, seeks to develop a unique individualism
and style, blending emotion with his chosen medium.
His love of abstract and bold color has transitioned from
his early years of watercolor on paper to todays works
on canvas as well as his four-sided freestanding
pylon/sculptures. Painting earlier in life as a hobby has
evolved into a lifelong emotional passion, an adventure
expressed by bright color and fueled by a desire to experiment with other mediums. Mr. Long views each
piece as a gift, stimulating the viewer to bring his or her
own emotional responses to his work into play. Formal
art education was always in his heart, however life got
in the way and a supposed short-term position with the
railroad turned into a lifelong career. Living in various
areas across the country stimulated growth/education
both personally and professionally, beyond his early
Ohio expectations. The time for actual painting was limited, however, the love of all art and sources of inspiration were endless. Today his work is impacted by the
landscapes and visions deeply implanted in his heart and
soul. Opening reception: Friday, July 3 from 6 to 8 p.m.

and always got in trouble for it. Even today, I still make
doodles; they are my thoughts that I cannot express in
any other way. The American flag was, and still is one
of my favorite doodling subjects when growing up in
Iran. In the early 1980s in America I started carving the
flag to make mono prints on paper. People are bombarded with images and propaganda from so many
sources all day long. As an artist, I am fascinated by
putting some of that propaganda in context with each
other and have them look out of place. I use flag as a
base for all of my paintings. I dont do art for arts sake.
I like the viewer to think. I like to put things out there
and leave the interpretation to the viewer. I make simple
works that will stay in peoples mind and continue to

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

a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of

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 916-9390772 for information regarding the
trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site
legalads@claremont-courier.com 909.621.4761
www.nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this
case 00000004687182. Information about
postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the
scheduled sale may not immediately be
reflected in the telephone information or
on the Internet Web site. The best way to
verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. FOR TRUSTEE
