one hundred and seventh year, number 43

The time is now

Less consulting, more action

Dear Editor:
The time is now. The need is great.
On November 3, voters in Claremont
will be asked to pass Measure PS that
will build the future of public safety here
in Claremont. The current police facility
is too old and too small. It is time we the
citizens of Claremont take action and
show our support for the men and
women of our police department and let
them know we care and support them.
Built in 1972, the existing station fails
to meet the needs of the police departmentjanitor closets are used as offices,
the womens locker room is located in a
trailer outside of the station, and the heating and cooling systems are 43 years old.
Our community and our officers need
an up-to-date public safety facility to
serve you better. This measure will provide the much-needed building that is accessible for use by the entire community
to ensure your health and safety.
In addition, it will provide a community room that can be used by our local
Community Emergency Response Team
(CERT) for classes and training.
The time is now and the need is great.
Please join me and other members of our
community by supporting Measure PS
on November 3. Vote yes on PS.

Dear Editor:
Our three children have benefited
greatly from the opportunity to swim at
the El Roble pool over the past five
years, including as members of the
Mount Baldy Aquatics swim team and as
participants and volunteer aids in summer swim lessons. The closure of the
pool many months ago because of major
mechanical problems has been a source
of great frustration for us and many other
Claremont families.
Now we read in the COURIER (October 16) that, before any repairs can be
done, a CUSD study to determine the
scope of the potential pool projects at El
Roble and CHS will have to be undertaken, at a cost of $45,000, even as funds
from real estate sales have become available to finance these sorts of projects.
My first thought about that $45,000
was that the COURIER must have accidentally added a zero or two but, okay,
lets stipulate that months of work by a
fancy consultant would allow us to identify the boundary between pool renovation and repair, whether locker rooms
are ADA-compliant and all that. Nevertheless, I am reminded of the title of a
good book from some years agoThe
Death of Common Sense.
For my own part, as a parent, I imagine that $45,000 would make a nice
down payment on doing enough repairs
to get the El Roble pool operational
again. Can we please just get on with it?

Helaine Goldwater
Claremont

Just meet our needs


Dear Editor:
Yes, we do need a new police station.
No, we do not need a Taj Mahal. I advise
the city to go back to the drawing board
and come up with a new design that is
commensurate with our needs.

Residents hear more details on Measure PS financing

easure PS planners met with


Claremont residents at the Active Claremont meeting on October 15 to answer questions and try to
assuage fears about the ballot initiative.
Michael Shea, the architect and chair of the ad hoc
committee for the police station, was joined by former
planning commission and architectural commission
member Bob Tener and Mayor Corey Calaycay to field
questions from citizens at the Hughes Center.
Opponents of the measure werent given the opportunity to formally present, but were instead encouraged
to speak up during the Q&A.
Mr. Shea and Mr. Tener began the meeting with an
outline of why the police station needs to be built, why
they chose the site next to the city yard and why a parcel tax was decided to pay for the measure.
We need to support our police facilityour public
safety personnelwith a modern, up-to-date, sustainable facility they can work out of, Mr. Shea said.
The majority of the questions dealt with the steep
price of the proposed station: up to $50 million, to be
paid through an annual parcel tax of $286 per year for 40
years. Residents in attendance who spoke up acknowledged the need for a new public safety facility, but were
unsure of the specifics of the plan, including the price
tag and the size of the facility.
Resident Sally Seven called into question the decision
to pay for the police station using a parcel tax, as opposed to a general obligation bond, which would leave
college and nonprofit properties exempt from contributing to the facilitys cost.
When you talk about fairness, it is fairer, I agree, to
have the nonprofits also pay, Ms. Seven said. But I
dont think its fair for people with really expensive
properties to pay as much as people in the median do.
Another resident, Matt Gilkey, asked the panel a
point-blank question: What happens if the measure
fails? Whats the plan B?
Well, that means we do nothing, Mr. Shea said. It
means theres not enough energy in this committee to
pass a bond, so thats a do-nothing to me. What are you
going to do, go back to the drawing board?
Mayor Calaycay claimed it would be difficult for the
city to offer a plan B that is perfect for everybody.
My motto when I ran was citizen-driven policies,
the mayor said. So my plan B is, everybody in this room
who says that you want a police department, you need to
sit down at the table together and you need to work
something out. And then you all need to walk out and
sell it to your neighbors, so that it is citizen-driven and
were not accused of driving it on you as a council.
Mr. Shea, after apologizing for being somewhat cynical, elaborated on what it took to get the measure on
the ballot and hinted at what it may take to get back there
in the future if the measure fails.
There should be a plan B, Mr. Shea said. But what
has happened since 2001 is it gets pushed back, council
steps back. It takes a lot of energy to bring it back up on
the table again and try to come up with another alternative to this thing.
Valerie Gustafson, who lives on East San Jose,
lamented the already high property taxes she faces.
Im 74 years old, and Im still working because I
have so much to pay on my property taxes, Ms.
Gustafson said. The school bond and Johnsons Pasture and the water system, which I did vote against because I dont know what its going to cost, and now the
police station.
Ms. Gustafson noted that the 2006 Johnsons Pasture
bond known as Yes on S was also a parcel tax. The
bond measure added a property tax of $24.73 per
$100,000 assessed home value per year for the entirety
of the bonds 30-year life, according to earlier reports
from the COURIER.
In the end, the city paid $11.5 million for the 180 acres

Voters will decide in a just over a
week whether to fund a new
Claremont police station that
would be constructed on this location just north of the current
Claremont city yard on Monte
Vista Avenue.

of open space. The city received a $1 million state grant


from the California Wildlands Conservancy Board,
$500,000 from Los Angeles County and $250,000 from
the Claremont Wildlands Conservancy. The Claremont
Colleges also pledged nearly $2.5 million to be paid over
35 years. After donations and processing fees, the final
cost to Claremont landowners was about $10.2 million.
Another question fielded by the panel dealt with the
location of the facility. A number of residents in attendance claimed the proposed location on Monte Vista
was too far out of the way from the center of town.
I think theres a great psychological advantage to
having it downtown, where its accessible and visible
and seems a part of the community. Ms. Seven said.
Mr. Shea and Mr. Tener both acknowledged that they
looked at several locations that were more city-centric,
but said many of the lots were unfit or had been developed out. According to Mr. Shea, there were originally
15 potential sites for a new station when talks began in
2002. When the committee was put together in 2012,
the number of possible lots was down to three.
One resident asked about the recently vacated Richard
Hibbard Chevrolet dealership on Indian Hill. Mr. Shea
responded that the city manager did try to buy the property, but Mr. Hibbard refused to sell it.
Claremont resident Richard Rosenbluth brought up
the nearly $4 million allocated toward high-tech equipment and how the technology may be replaced in a few
years.
Usually with high-tech equipment you look at three
to seven years as the lifetime of that equipment. Why
would we put that cost on the 40-year bond when in

seven years we would be replacing most of that stuff?


Mr. Rosenbluth asked.
Mr. Calaycay responded that a new police station
would need to have new technology to stay current.
We need the latest technology because were still
looking at these three years out, Mr. Calaycay said.
With the current technology, we cant just move it out
to the new police department. We need the newest technology.
Mr. Calaycay also discussed the possibility of receiving grants that could lower the overall cost of the new
safety facility but said, Its a catch-22. You cant apply
for a grant if you dont have a building to put it in.
Mr. Calaycay and Mr. Shea reminded the audience
that inaction will only result in another, potentially more
expensive, bond measure to arrive on future ballots. Mr.
Shea mentioned the first financial estimate of a new police station was around $26 million in 2007.
As we move down the timeline, it doesnt get any
cheaper. Mr. Shea said.
If the community, at the end, says its not the right
time, then its not the right time. And council will respect that and well move on to other things, Mayor
Calaycay said. Theres no agenda here. If you say no,
you say no. We understand it.
According to a recent COURIER online poll, nearly
35 percent of Claremont residents approve of Measure
PS, with 55 percent opposed and 10 percent undecided.
Residents will vote on November 3.

Students learn from students about Internet safety

arlier this month, Chaparral Elementary School observed Digital


Citizenship week. Students learned
about being safe and respectful online,
and about protecting their image in a
world where casual Internet posts are preserved in perpetuity.
Each day featured a different area of focus, including Internet safety, privacy and security, relationships
and communication, cyber-bullying and digital footprint and reputation.
On October 7, sixth graders from Kimberly Walters class visited the kindergarteners in Kristin VanKouwenbergs class. The preteens, equipped with an
iPad and a slide presentation, partnered up with
younger students for a lesson on successfully braving
the perils of the information age.
Some say the best way to learn is by teaching. One
of Ms. Walters students has demonstrated her mastery of the subject through an essay.

iPads and a slide presentation to mentor kindergartners on ways to stay safe while online.

POLICE BLOTTER

Friday, October 16
Early Friday morning at approximately 1:48 a.m., officers noticed a car
stopped in the Chase Bank parking lot,
located on the 800 block of south Indian
Hill Boulevard, with its lights still on. In
the car, they found 22-year-old Michael
Campos of Ontario, who exhibited all
the telltale signs of a drunken person:
bloodshot eyes, sweaty brow, slurred
speech and a blank stare on his face. He
was also trying to make calls on his
phone, but was tapping the wrong buttons each time, according to the report.
When officers asked Mr. Campos how
much he had to drink, he responded he
had only three beers, but later added,
they were pretty strong beers, according to Lt. Mike Ciszek. Mr. Campos
was arrested for being drunk and disorderly (his car was not on) and he was
taken to CPD to sober up.
****
Later in the day, police dispatch received a 911 call from a witness who
claimed to see a large red Ford truck
driving erratically up Indian Hill Boulevard, almost clipping two cars. When
officers found the truck at approximately 5:57 p.m., they observed it
swerving back and forth and straddling
the median lane, obvious signs of an intoxicated driver. They pulled the truck
over and made contact with the driver,

identified as 22-year-old Andrew


Wright of Ontario. After submitting to a
test, officers determined that Mr. Wright
was well over twice the legal limit of
.08 percent. He was arrested on a DUI
charge.
****
The night did not end there for Claremont police, who received a call about
an intoxicated person on the corner of
First Street and Indian Hill Boulevard.
When they arrived at approximately
8:22 p.m., they found 49-year-old
David Delgadillo of Claremont staggering and slurring his speech. Because
Mr. Delgadillo is visually and hearing
impaired, he required the use of a cane.
Officers needed to hold Mr. Delgadillo
up so he wouldnt fall over as they were
talking to him. Mr. Delgadillo also had
an 18-pack of beer in his backpack.
Once officers determined that he was
too drunk to take care of himself, they
arrested him to spend the night at the
police station.
Saturday, October 17
A suspected serial mail thief struck
several homes on the blocks of 500 and
600 Charleston Street between 11 p.m.
Friday and 10 a.m. Saturday. Multiple
reports were filed from different homes,
claiming pieces of mail were mysteriously missing. A number of mailboxes

We must take certain measures to make sure all kids


know about certain safety rules on the Internet.
Why? You may be wondering the same question.
Does it really hurt to tell your new friend on Roblex
your phone number? Or at least share what school
you go to with your best gaming pal?
Well, it turns out that people are very vulnerable on
the Internet, especially us kids. Did you know that
about 35 percent of kids ages 11-12 use social sites,
and sometimes even share their phone number or address?
According to LoveToKnow.com, child predators
often hang out on social networks, and usually seem
nice. But dont be alarmed; here are some tips to help
kids guard against these threats.
1. Never share your name, school, age, phone number, email or address online.
2. Never send a picture to strangers.
3. Never open a suspicious-looking message.
4. Always tell an adult if something creepy happens
online.
5. Always use a user name [a nickname that doesnt
give away your real name] online, and keep the password private to everyone. (Except your mom or dad.)
6. Parents, talk to your kids! Its important for them
to know about Internet safety. To adults, scams or
viruses may be obvious. But to kids, they seem harmless.
So, remember to stay safe on the Internet. For more
information, try Common Sense Media, and go to
Parent Concerns. Also, try parent-monitoring software such as webwatcher. Stay safe!

Some unfortunate Motel 6 guests car
fell victim to multiple strikes from two
men with baseball bats. The incident occurred at approximately 11:40 a.m. at
the hotel, which is on the 800 block of
south Indian Hill Boulevard. Police
were called regarding the men, who
drove up to the seemingly random vehicle and started wailing on it with their
bats. After a few minutes, the two suspects fled in a red pickup truck. Damage to the car is alleged to have ranged
from $5,000 to $50,000, according to
Lt. Ciszek. The driver of the car was not
identified, nor have any suspects been
named.

Scripps and Towne. At approximately 4
p.m., officers pulled over a car driven
by 35-year-old Randall Rees of Colton
due to an unsafe lane change. When the
officer approached the car and talked to
Mr. Rees, he spontaneously copped to
possessing methamphetamine and three
hyperdermic needles, according to Lt.
Ciszek. Mr. Rees was on post-release
community supervision at the time. He
was arrested for possession of controlled substances and was sent to a 10day flash incarceration at San
Bernardino County jail.
Monday, October 19
Police picked up a 24-year-old Azusa
resident for possession of a stolen vehicle and identity theft Monday evening.
Joseph Littlebull was pulled over near
the corner of Base Line Road and
Towne Avenue at approximately 8:08
p.m. The car he was driving was reportedly stolen out of Montebello. Mr. Littlebull was arrested without incident
but, when officers asked for his ID, he
identified himself as Saul Garcia. It was
only after Mr. Littlebull was arrested
and booked as Saul Garcia that authorities find out it wasnt his real name.
Whats more, Mr. Littlebull was on probation for a previous robbery. Officers
then tacked on the identity theft charge
and held Mr. Littlebull on an active nobail probation violation.

Peter Weinberger
San Antonio High
School officially
opened their new
sports court recently
with a ribbon cutting
ceremony and volleyball game against
Pomonas Park West
High School.

Order in the court: SAHS students bring their game on new turf

nder the leadership of


principal Sean Delgado, San Antonio
High has been spurred to action. The most recent evidence
of the transformation is a new
outdoor multi-purpose sports
court, featuring a sturdy plastic
surface emblazoned with the
schools Lion mascot.
The school celebrated a new era of
athletic opportunity earlier this month,
inaugurating the Lion Sports Court with
a ribbon-cutting followed by San Antonios first volleyball game.
The game took place under the auspices of the fledgling Inland Valley
League, which was spearheaded by Mr.
Delgado and consists of area continuation schools. These include San Antonio, Hillside High School in Upland and
Pomonas Park West. Buena Vista High
School in Chino is also considering
throwing in its lot with the IVL.
I called the principals, and the ones I
talked to were new principals themselves, Mr. Delgado said. They were
very eager to try something new and
different for their campuses.
The Park West Wizards took the day,
winning three games to the Lions two.
Still, Mr. Delgado sees the event as a
victory.
It was one of those moments where
you felt like a huge dream was realized, the administrator said. We had
sports going onboys and girls playing
another schoolsomething they had
practiced hard to reach. The were playing on our home court in front of parents, in front of staff members, and with
our student store open to provide concessions and make sales.
Its all part of the modus operandi
employed by Mr. Delgado, whos in his

third year at the helm of San Antonio.


From day one, he has aimed to institute
or revive as many programs as possible
that provide extracurricular enrichment,
make the school day fun and foster a
sense of school pride.
In the 2013-2014 school year, the administrator hired an activities director
and created an Associated Student Body
organization. This led to a resurgence of
clubs on campus. This years hot ticket
is membership in San Antonio High
Schools brand-new Key Club, which
has seven officers and 30 members.
Students were also encouraged to select a new mascot and embrace it as a
brand. Nowadays, if you want to show
your support for the Pride, you can visit
an online store accessible on the schools
website and buy San Antonio Lions-emblazoned swag. San Antonio students
were also encouraged to head to Disneyland for their very own grad night.
Activities make school fun, Mr.
Delgado said in an earlier interview. If
you make school fun, kids are more

likely to go to school and participate.


Last year, Mr. Delgado piloted a
competitive sports program, starting
with soccer and basketball. Students
were enthusiastic about the chance to
compete and so this year, San Antonio
introduced flag football and cross-country as well as volleyball.
With the installation of the new sports
court, the Lions have a place to engage
in a number of sports including tennis,
badminton and roller hockey or field
hockey.
It all started when Rick Cota, executive director of facilities, approached
Mr. Delgado and asked him if he was
interested in changing out San Antonios aging basketball court for something more versatile. Sports courts are
attractive for a continuation school because they generally dont have a gym.
Its kind of a way to give them
something, Mr. Cota said.
Mr. Delgado had never heard about
the kind of court Mr. Cota was proposing, but he was quick to catch on. He

showed me the website


[sportcourt.com] and I said, Im in.
The sports court, which is 50 feet by
82 feet, was manufactured and installed
by Sport Court, and customized with the
schools green and black colors. The
project took only about four days to
complete, from demo to finish, and cost
about $47,000.
The money came from an annual
Recreational Assessment District
(RAD) fee levied on property owners in
Claremont. The fee, which is $88.10 per
single-family equivalent unit, is attached as part of local property taxes.
The idea behind the RAD, which has
been in effect for more than 20 years in
the City of Trees, is that property owners help pay to maintain school facilities
that are open to the public.
A lot of schools lock down their
sites, but ours remain open so people
can use the fields, the playgrounds, that
kind of thing, CUSD Assistant Superintendent of Business Services Lisa
Shoemaker said. Our outdoor facilities
are like parks, open and available for the
public to use.
For instance, when the CHS field is
not occupied, anyone can go there after
school hours and walk or run on the
track. Thusly, RAD money, which each
year amounts to something in the neighborhood of $1.2 million, was used to
pay for the new turf laid down in the
CHS football field in 2012.
Likewise, anyone in the community
can stroll onto the San Antonio High
School campus after the students have
gone home and shoot some hoops. Its
an experience Mr. Delgado predicts
folks will enjoy.
The surface is a hard plastic material
thats good for absorbing some shock
better than concrete, he said. It also
has some horizontal give, so when you
pivot its easier on the knees.

Claremont celebrates the UN, looks to global goals


by Mel Boynton, president, Pomona Valley UNA

ll around the world this week of


October 24, people are celebrating
the 70th birthday of the United
Nations. Rising in the ashes of World War
II and after the 1948 adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
guided by Eleanor Roosevelt, the UN has
helped keep the peace and promoted
human rights and development for seven
decades.
In our local UNA chapter, were constantly working to share the UNs work with the community and
our nations leaders. A current Hart Research survey
of registered voters show 90 percent support for US
involvement with the UN. Eleven UNA chapters in
southern California and over 100 other chapters
across the country demonstrate just how much support exists for the important work of the UN.
Claremont residents are invited to join a gala, UN
at 70 dinner event on Thursday, October 29 at Edmunds Ballroom on the Pomona College campus, cosponsored by International Place, Pomona College
Office of International Initiatives and the Pomona
Valley United Nations Association (PVUNA).
As Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said this
month, The 70th anniversary of the United Nations
is an opportunity to reflectto look back on the UNs
history and take stock of its enduring achievements. It
is also an opportunity to spotlight where the UNand
the international community as a wholeneeds to redouble its efforts to meet current and future challenges across the three pillars of its work: peace and
security, development and human rights.
These goals didnt materialize out of thin air. In
fact, before the SDGs, the UN adopted the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), eight goals

adopted in 2000 that the world would use as a


roadmap to work toward reducing extreme poverty.
The MDGs inspired policies and investments have
helped lift 600 million people out of extreme poverty,
prevent 4.3 million deaths from malaria and improve
the lives of millions more around the world. The success of the MDGs proved that goals work. The new
global goals were adopted by all 193 UN member nations after three years of public input and negotiation.
Over eight million people around the world had a

chance to choose their own priorities for the goals


through the MyWorld website. Here at home, UNAUSA held consultations in 50 cities across the country,
including two consultations in southern California.
Based on that feedback, the UN settled upon 17
goals focused on achieving three extraordinary things:
ending extreme poverty, fighting inequality and injustice and fixing climate change. Unlike the MDGs,
these goals are a to-do list for all countries, not just
the developing world. Member states have a focus on
better data and stronger metrics to better capture results. While the MDGs focused on eight goals, and 18
targets, the SDGs have expanded efforts to focus on
17 goals and 169 targets.
At a time when much of the globe is torn apart by
conflict and we try to help millions of refugees fleeing the carnage, there is something powerful in the
fact that all 193 nations on the planet were able to
come together and agree on a to-do list for the world.
Within these goals are issues that speak to each of
us. For example, the new goals include a commitment
to the rule of law that was never part of the MDGs.
Access to justice is a precondition for achieving almost all the goals, but it is particularly important for
fighting a truly global scourge.
The State Department estimates that 27 million
people worldwide are living in modern slavery, victims of both forced labor and sex trafficking. Ending
human trafficking will take local and global action.
Fortunately, goals 5, 8 and 16 include specific targets to address this scourge and the actions needed,
such as improving justice systems and ensuring that
children have birth certificates, have bipartisan support on Capitol Hill as well as among local leaders.
The UN, like each of the member states, is far from
perfect. But much has been accomplished. We hope
you will join the effort to educate and mobilize citizens around the good work of the UN on this historic
birthday.

Claremont COURIER/Friday, October 23, 2015

The Chaucer Lady


Dear Editor:
The Village Venture is going to make
Claremont come to life in a special way
again this Saturday. Many people are
excited to gather there once more in a
celebration of the fall season. This year's
venture will be missing a treasure that
hundreds have counted on enjoying
every year.
Claremont's own author Dolores
Cullen, or The Chaucer Lady as she is
also known, has been removed from her
15-year Chaucer Celebration place outside the Claremont Public Library.
This year was to be her final afternoon at the library, sharing her books,
her famous pound cake, her stories and
her knowledge. In the past, some people
have traveled from out of state to come
and see her. She has quite a following.
Every year, there has been a constant
stream of fansstudents, professors
and people from all walks of lifewho
deeply appreciate the writing of Geoffrey Chaucer and Dolores Cullen expounding on his amazing words, as no
one has ever done.
As Dolores was about to gather her
trusty helpers for a pound cake-making
afternoon, she received an email from
the library stating that they were not
going to allow her Chaucer Celebration
there this year. It was such an unexpected development. Why would they
stop her from bringing such joy to all
those who come to the Village Venture
to see her? There must be some mistake!
Yes, it is definitely a mistake. The library staff has demonstrated that they
do not realize it has been their privilege
to have this remarkable woman celebrating Chaucer on their premises for
the past 15 years. If the library does not
value authors, especially from their own
city, what are they doing? Their entire
building and work is about authors,
young and old.
It is very sad to see that this valuable
library has lost sight of their purpose

READERS COMMENTS
and the desires of their patrons. They
treat Dolores Cullen, the Chaucer Lady,
as if she is of no use. How wrong they
are!
Thank you for allowing me to express my deepest sorrow to see this excellent lady shoved aside, as if she did
not belong. To those of us who know
her and love her work, this is a tragedy.
Catherine Cullen
Union, WA

[Editors note: On Thursday just before


press-time, The Friends of the Claremont
Library offered Ms. Cullen a spot at their
table, a move approved by the head librarian. KD]

Measure PS is not the right plan


Dear Editor:
After attending the Active Claremont
meeting last Thursday to learn more
about the upcoming vote on Measure
PS, I came away thinking the plan, as
currently proposed, is not what Claremont needs.
First, I agree with many of the voices
in the room that a 39,000-square-foot
structure is excessive. Yes, the current
structure is a little less than 10,000
square feet and the number of officers
and staff has doubled since it was built
in 1972, but even accounting for additional square footage for ADA requirements, why wouldnt a 20,000-squarefoot station be sufficient? The police
department is currently operating with
less than 10,000 square feet. By the
commissions own admission, Claremont isnt going to be able to grow
much over the next few decades because there isnt any more land to develop, even for a police station.
Second, a parcel tax is not the best
way to pay for the project. I purchased
my home two years ago for $525,000.
According to arguments on both sides,

my home value is about at the median,


so I would still be on the hook for about
the same amount, whether we finance
with a parcel tax or a general obligation
bond.
The problem with a parcel tax, however, is that its more expensive than a
general obligation bond. According to
the commission, a parcel tax would cost
Claremont an additional $400,000 a
year in financing costs. Holy cow!
So why did the commission choose a
parcel tax rather than a cheaper general
obligation bond? Apparently, some very
vocal residents want the nonprofits in
Claremont (i.e., the Claremont Colleges) to share in the cost of the project.
A parcel tax gets around their tax exempt status and would cost the Colleges
approximately $65,000 per year ($286 x
225 total plots). This is akin to residents
wanting to cut off their noses to spite
their faces.
In fact, most of the $65,000 per year
collected from the Colleges under a parcel tax would also be collected under a
general obligation bond. Of the 225
parcels owned by the Colleges, 133 are
residential and would still be taxed
under a cheaper GO bond. The real benefit to residents from the Colleges under
a parcel tax is a little more than $26,000
per year.
According to the city, there are 365
tax-exempt parcels in Claremont. The
total amount collected from these
would amount to less than $105,000.
Again, why would we choose to pay an
additional $400,000 a year just to collect $105,000? By any rational analysis,
this choice is hardly a good financial
decision.
I wont go into why some might think
taxing Claremont Toyota, Vons, the
DoubleTree and large apartment complexes the same $286 a year as a small

one bedroom townhouse is fair. Its


no surprise we see Vote Yes on PS
signs posted on the DoubleTree property and some of the large apartment
complexes just north of the hotel.
Finally, many residents voiced their
concern about the location of the new
building. I have to agree. A centrally located police station is important for the
entire community. Nothing can substitute for a police presence. Moving this
presence to the outskirts of town is a
mistake that cannot be underestimated.
Crime would almost certainly increase in and around the Village if the
station was moved. Yes, building a
39,000-square-foot structure on the current location would be cost-prohibitive.
But, again, most residents don't think
we need a 39,000-square-foot police
station just because the architects and
engineers say we do. Architects and engineers get paid more when they build
bigger buildings!
For these reasons, I will be voting no
on November 3. We should build a
more-modest, 20,000 square foot building on the current property, that meets
both our current and future needs, and
finance it with a cheaper alternative to
the currently proposed parcel tax.
I would like to thank Active Claremont for sponsoring this important
meeting and opening it up to the public.
I would also like to thank Mayor Calaycay, Frank Bedoya and Bob Tener for
attending the meeting and answering a
lot of very tough questions.

John Dourley

OBITUARIES

Steward of the earth

John Dourley, a pioneering horticulturalist who made his mark locally at the
Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, died
on October 11, 2015. He was 93.
He was born and raised in his beloved
Scotland. He joined the British Army and
fought in World War II, stationed in
Gibraltar in North Africa. He was educated at the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh, Scotland.
In 1951, he married Kathleen and journeyed to America, where they raised six
children. He held many esteemed positions, such as superintendent of the
Holmes Estate in New York, manager of
the Dewey Gardens and Tropical Greenhouses in Ohio and superintendent of the
Morris Arboretum of the University of
Pennsylvania.
Ultimately, in 1967, he accepted the
position of director of horticulture at the
Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden in
Claremont, retiring in 1987. Mr. Dourley
propagated many plant species over the
years, often giving them names inspired
by his children. For instance, his son Paul
was a fan of the Green Bay Packers. Accordingly, Mr. Dourley dubbed a type of
Manzanita Arctostaphylos Green Bay.
While at his RSABG post, Mr. Dourley
achieved a bit of immortality. In 1984, a
plant he had propagated was named for
him. John Dourley Manzanita is a mounding shrub with pink flowers that are
beloved by hummingbirds and red berries
birds like to eat.
Despite his long US residency, Mr.
Dourley remained a true Scot, his daughter Elaine shared. He retained his love of
tea and, while he insisted you couldnt
get a decent cup of tea at an American

restaurant, the teapot was always full at the


Dourley home.
He was very opinionated, very staunch
and very much about keeping a stiff upper
lip, Elaine said. He was proper and dignified, with a dry British sense of humor
with a dark Scottish twist, his granddaughter Laura added.
Mr. Dourley wrote extensively about
plants and their medicinal uses as well as
cultivating them. He authored articles for
publications like Sunset magazine and in
1981 published a book he co-wrote, California Native Trees and Shrubs for Garden and Environmental Use in Southern California and Adjacent Areas.
Mr. Dourley was a man ahead of his
time. He was an advocate for improved air
quality, and worked to preserve Claremonts trees. He predicted scarcity of wa-

ter would be one of the biggest issues of


the future, and landscaped his home with
drought-tolerant native plants long before
it was fashionable or expedient. He was
adamant about water conservation and
served 16 years on the board of the Department of Water Resources.
Its amazing how everything he said
came true, Elaine said. He was a true
ecologist. He believed you should take
care of the earth, because you only get one
shot at it.
When Mr. Dourley wasnt tending
plants at home or work, he often served as
an unofficial consultant for friends and
neighbors. People would bring him a
houseplant or have him inspect a tree, asking, What am I doing wrong? Why is it
dying? He always seemed to have an answer. He also helped a lot of people get
started in the nursery business, including
the founders of the Tree of Life Nursery in
San Juan Capistrano.
Mr. Dourley possessed an encyclopedic
knowledge of plants, but he was always
looking to learn more. He was a voracious reader of books on horticulture as
well as on Scottish history. He embarked

on a number of tours in which participants visited famous European gardens.


Of course, he returned to Scotland as often as possible.
After retiring, Mr. Dourley kept his passion alive by assisting with the development of Caroline Park in Redlands. In
1988, he served as botanical landscaper for
the 17-acre park, donating his time to create a living demonstration of the importance of using California native flora.
John has entered into the heavenly
garden, his family shared. With 93 years
of experience on Earth, we are sure he has
some suggestions for the Master Gardener
above.
John was preceded in death by his dear
son Christopher and his siblings Leonora,
Elizabeth, Patrick and Stephen. He is survived by his wife Kathleen; children John
(Marianne), Angela (Stuart), Elaine
(Doug), Paul (Caroline) and Elizabeth
(Iraj); 10 grandchildren and three greatgrandchildren.
His life was celebrated on October
19with his interment at Oak Park Cemetery. An inscription on his tombstone identifies him as a steward of the earth.

Joan Harlan

OBITUARIES

Loving mother, champion of education


Joan Maria Harlan, a resident of
Claremont for nearly 50 years, died on
September 18, 2015 at her home in Mt.
San Antonio Gardens after losing her
battle with dementia. She was 81.
She was born in Gloversville, New
York. She lived there until her early 20s
when her parents, seeking warmer
weather, headed west to southern California, settling in South Gate. Joan
wanted an education so she enrolled at
the University of La Verne, where she
graduated with a bachelors degree. She
also attended California Baptist University in Riverside for a couple of years.
Once she graduated, she got a job as

Fritz Moser
Dr. Fritz Moser, a longtime
Claremont resident and local surgeon, died on October 19, 2015. He
was 92.
A visitation will be held on
Thursday, October 29 from 5 to 8

N. Garey Ave. in Pomona. A funeral

service will be held on Friday, October 30 at 11 a.m. at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 1700 N.

an elementary school teacher in Rosemead. When she was invited to attend


church with a co-worker, she ended up
meeting her future husband Lee Harlan.
The couple moved to Claremont in
1968 after Mr. Harlan got a job as director of alumni relations at Pomona
College.
Once they moved to Claremont, they
became members of Claremont Presbyterian Church where Mrs. Harlan got a
job as director of childrens ministries.
She was instrumental in founding the
Claremont Presbyterian Childrens
Center, which started as a day care and
became a preschool.
Joan was a very busy woman. She
was involved in PEO International, an
organization dedicated to the advancement of womens education, eventually
becoming president of the local chapter.
She was also very active in womens
groups at the church, along with the
Parent Teacher Association at Mountain
View Elementary School.
She didnt slow down much after retiring from the church. Mrs. Harlan
took on a volunteer social work position at Pilgrim Place. She ran a pro-

gram for residents with Alzheimers


disease, organizing activities to keep
them engaged and their minds challenged.
Mr. and Mrs. Harlan loved to travel,
and would frequently head back east to
upstate New York, where Joan still had
a lot of family. They also journeyed
around the world, traveling through
Russia, Greece, Africa, Asia and more.
Joan was predeceased by her husband Lee, who died in 2012. She is survived by her younger sister Genie, who
watched over her and was by her side
as the end was near, and by her younger
brother Jack of Syracuse, New York.
She also leaves her two sons, Mike
Harlan of Menifee and Jeff Harlan of
Canyon Lake, as well as grandchildren
Kurtis, Heather, Connor, Sean, Tyler
and Tegan.
In lieu of flowers, Joan wanted people to make donations to the Mt. San
Antonio Gardens Homeship Fund, the
Claremont Chapter of PEO International or Claremont Presbyterian
Church.

Claremont COURIER/Friday, October 23, 2015

Wilderness Park master plan


Dear Editor:
The Claremont Hills Wilderness Park
a passive park intended to preserve natural
resources while allowing visitor access
could well have become an area covered
with homes, fences, swimming pools and
streets. It was privately-owned land.
The park was created through the efforts
of people of good will and with imaginative,
bold city policies. A transfer of development credits concept enabled a fairly dense
residential development to be built along
Baldy Road and Padua Avenue, in exchange
for the dedication of hundreds of acres as
permanent open space. Additional acreage
was purchased with local bonds. About 40
percent was purchased with state and regional grants.
The only guarantee that privately-owned
properties adjacent to the park will not be developed is the purchase as parkland (with the
help of grants) or dedication as permanent
open space through another transfer of development credits scheme, particularly on
the west side of the park.
To support the idea that as much hillside
as possible remains undeveloped, the master plan should include park expansion as a
desired outcome. The Wilderness Park
should encompass Claremonts hillsides
from east to west and become part of a region-wide open space corridor.
The master plan should also emphasize
coordinating with neighboring communities as well as regional agencies and the National Forest Service to ensure public access
along the foothills while protecting watershed and wildlife resources.
Arlene Andrew
Claremont Wildlands Conservancy

READERS COMMENTS

Open space for all

Increasing city indebtedness

Dear Editor:
In a recent letter, Jack Sultze suggests
that the unforeseen popularity of the Wilderness Park is a problem and the solution is to
restrict access to the park, allowing only
Claremont residents to use it. He says, We
paid for it and should be able to decide who
can use it. This statement is not accurate.
The city acquired the original 1200 acres
in 1996 through a development agreement
with Pomona College, supplemented by regional and local funds. Today, the park is
2000 acres. The 800 acres added since 1996
have all been purchased by state and regional sources except for Sycamore Canyon,
funded by an exchange with a developer,
and Johnsons Pasture, funded by a local
bond measure. Of the nearly $20 million that
has been spent on park purchases, approximately 40 percent has come from outside
Claremont. This includes monies from three
state sourcesProp A, the Rivers and
Mountains Conservancy and the Wildlife
Conservation Board.
As we seek to preserve our hillsides from
development and extend the open-space corridor along the San Gabriel foothills, we
will undoubtedly continue to depend on
non-Claremont revenue sources. The parks
appeal to regional visitors is a major advantage for us in applying for these grants.
The popularity of the Wilderness Park is
an asset for Claremont. It is not only fitting
but also beneficial for us that we share it
with our neighbors.
James Van Cleve

Dear Editor:
I read the Impartial Analysis of Measure
PS and the Proposed Ordinance of Measure
PS, which appear on the ballot. One thing
jumped out at me: The huge $50 million bond
is cleverly downplayed as a $286 assessment
per parcel. It also fails to state that the total
cost after 40 years will be approximately $119
million. I am not saying it was done intentionally to deceive, but that is the way it reads.
The second thing that jumped out at me
is, why are we borrowing money for 40
years to fund the election for this tax Ordinance section, page 14, top paragraph)?
The Analysis and Ordinance were misleading and inaccurate by omission.
I am very concerned about the escalating
indebtedness of the city. We still owe
roughly $8.2 million on the bond for Johnsons Pasture, and the water company bond
of $135 million was recently passed. It is
supposed to be repaid through billing fees,
however, it is projected that the water rates
will go up an undetermined amount to cover that cost. The city is also spending millions of dollars in litigation just to acquire
the water system.
The County of Los Angeles has indicated it will assess the city a fee of approximately $6 million for clean water run-off.
These debts, coupled with the $50 million
police station, are approximately a $200 million financial obligation to the city. We must
also keep in mind that the city remains liable for growing unfunded pensions. For a
small city, with only 11,608 households, the

Claremont Wildlands Conservancy

trend to incur extraordinarily high debt is not


prudent.
There is no debate whether Claremont
needs a new police station, it does. But let us
first determine how much money the water
company is going to cost. Let us consider that
while the parcel tax is supposed to be equitable, it is not. There is nothing equitable
about the DoubleTree paying the same $286
per parcel as a family in south Claremont or
a senior citizen living on a small fixed income.
We are building a lot of multi-unit housing that is affordable in Claremont; taxation
is also a consideration when deeming ownership affordable.
The Montclair station built in 2009 is
about the same size (45,600 sq. ft) as the
proposed Claremont station. It houses more
officers and has a shooting range. It was
built at a cost of $24 million; $50 million
for a similar station is extravagant.
These considerations weigh heavily on
my mind. My views have been shared with
most of the council, the city manager and
friends who support Measure PS. I respect
their position. I respect the Claremont police and recognize they are working under
less than ideal conditions. But the financial
stability of the city must be paramount.
There are times when saying no is very
hard. This is one of those times. Claremont
has an outstanding police force. The rejection of Measure PS is not a rejection of the
force. It is a rejection of a proposed highlyinflated financial obligation. Measure PS is
too expensive. It puts the city in financial
jeopardy, and itas cost is not equitable to all.
For those reasons, I am compelled to vote
no on Measure PS. Carolyn Gonzales

Jesse Royal came of age in
Kingston, Jamaica. His musical aspirations were encouraged by his friendship with Daniel Bambaata Marley,
son of Ziggy Marley and grandson of
Bob Marley. Mr. Royals songs go
down easy, like most in his genre, but

tunes like Modern Day Judas. He is
currently working on his first album,
to be produced by Kareem Burrell of
XTM.Nation.

CHS football comes out flat, unable to catch Ayala

very good thing comes to an end,


and for the Claremont High School
football team it came last Friday
night with a 24-21 defeat by visiting
Ayala. The loss, which coincided with the
Packs homecoming game, ended a remarkable six-game winning streak that
also saw their state and national rank
shoot through the roof.
For the first three quarters, Claremont seemed to
lack the drive that has been a hallmark this season.
The Bulldogs effectively shut down
SPORTING
the Packs running game until the
LIFE
fourth quarter, limiting star running
back, junior Duy Tran-Sampson to 129 yards. Meanwhile, Claremont could not stop Ayala standout
rusher senior Jordan Charles, who had 259 yards on
30 carries and two touchdowns.
Ayalas game was a one-trick pony, but an effective
one. Anytime the Bulldogs needed a first down, they
gave Charles the ball and let him go. He alone ran for
two-thirds of the teams total yards and, with sophomore Max Hura, Ayala rushed for 383 yards total.
Ayalas entire passing game consisted of one sixyard play from quarterback Michael Morales to Hura.
The Packs offense was much more diverse with
quarterback senior Raine Pohaku Kaheaku-Paivas
seven passes for 122 yards and 53 yards of rushing,
while Tran-Sampson, senior Cameron Gray and senior Markelle Davis combined for the rest of the Packs
263 rushing yards. Sophomore Benjamin Lynch
caught two passes for 61 yards, including the games
longest at 38 yards. Gray, Davis, senior Matt Banfield
and senior Ernest Smith racked up the remaining receiving yards. It should have been Davis night to remember, having been named the homecoming king
during a daytime rally. He also scored all three of
Claremonts touchdowns. But a few missteps was all
Ayala needed to take the win away.
Claremont won the coin toss and chose to receive,
but were stopped rather quickly by Ayala, who took
over on their own 40-yard line. Next, in what would
be a harbinger for the rest of the game, Hura ran for
45 yards to set up an eventual Bulldog field goal.
On their next possession, Claremont was looking
for touchdown when Ayala senior Matthew Scott intercepted Kaheaku-Paivas pass for a touchback. On
the next set of downs Charles ran 55 yards, breaking
two tackles on his way to the Packs 35-yard line. A
couple of plays later, he went 40 yards straight up the
middle for a Bulldog touchdown and a 10-0 lead.
It looked like a blowout in the making when
Charles scored again in the second quarter, giving the
Bulldogs a 17-0 advantage, but Claremont came
scratching back.
With time running out on the half, Claremont put together their first big set of downs. Facing 3rd down
and 17, Kaheaku-Paiva attempted to find Banfield
who dropped the ball but drew a pass interference call
and a much better field position for an eventual first
down. The Pack slowly wrestled the yards out of
Ayala, only to face fourth down after an incomplete
pass to Lynch. Looking more like the Claremont of
previous outings, Kaheaku-Paiva completed a lastditch pass to Lynch, keeping the drive alive. With
under a minute on the clock, Davis powered into the
end zone and Claremont was on the scoreboard at last.
Ayala opened the second half by marching the ball
all the way to the Packs one-yard line and a fourth
down. In what may be the most controversial call of
the game, Ayala attempted to muscle the ball over the
goal line but the Pack appeared to have stopped them
short. However, even though forward momentum
ceased, officials failed to halt the play and, after a few

Claremont running back Duy Tran-Sampson looks for a hole in the Bulldog defense on Friday during the Packs
homecoming game at CHS. Ayala did an excellent job shutting down Claremonts running game, which
helped the Bulldogs get the upset victory 24-21.

seconds of suspended animation, Ayala managed to


fall into the end zone for a touchdown.
From there on out it was all Claremont, but it was
too little too late.
With 1:30 left in the third quarter, Davis ran 62
yards for the Packs second touchdown and one could
sense that the momentum had shifted.
Then, just as the fourth quarter began, Tran-Sampson ran 50 yards, putting Claremont within striking
distance of another touchdown. Unfortunately, the
play was called back as Davis was charged with a personal foul and Claremont was forced to punt.
It looked bleak for Claremont when they got one
last chance after recovering a fumble deep in their
own territory. A 35-yard run play by Kaheaku-Paiva
and a long pass to Davis put the Pack on the Bulldogs 20-yard line. On 4th and 10, Kaheaku-Paiva got
a miracle first down, setting up Davis third and final
touchdown a few plays later.
Claremont failed to recover an onside kick so, with
1:41 remaining, the Pack was only three points behind but Ayala had the ball. The Bulldogs proceeded
to run the clock down to seven seconds while Claremont used up all of their time-outs hoping for a miracle. It was not to be, as the Pack did regain control of
the ball but had no time left.
After the game, Claremonts coach Coco Jarin was

at a loss to explain his teams performance. I dont


know what it was, we just caught a bug, he said. Its
not easy to go undefeated. Now we have that one
[loss], all we have to do is gather ourselves, come
back and find that [winning] team again and make it
happen.
With the loss, Claremont slipped to fourth place in
the Palomares League with a 1-1 record but are still
6-1 overall. Next up is an away game against Diamond Bar on Friday.

Claremont Wolfpack hits high note at homecoming rally

ozens of students and community


members gathered at Memorial
Park last Friday for the consummate small-town event: the annual
homecoming rally and the start of the
homecoming parade.
At 3 p.m. students took over the band
shell, which had been transformed into a
replica of New Yorks Times Square,
complete with a tinfoil ball poised to
drop at the stroke of midnight.
Two emcees from the CHS theater department, Comedy Sportz Team stalwarts Aubrey Schoeman and Diego
Henriquez, took their places beneath a
balloon arch. Diego introduced himself
as iconic New Years Rockin Eve host
Ryan Seacrest.
The announcers then called up the first
act of the afternoon. The CHS Chamber
singers took to the stage with a stirring
rendition of New York, New York,
their performance set against a backdrop
of New York City high-rises. The vocalists launched into a Rockettes-style kickline, drawing applause from the crowd.
Next up was JV Cheer, with the girls
breaking it down to a mix of hip-hop hits
including Beyonces Flawless and Lil
Jons Bend Ova. Among the audience
was a group of underclassmen, one of
them a jokester who kept up a running
sotto voce commentary. Is it hot in here,
or is it just JV Cheer? he posed as the
squad took its bows.
He had another quip when last years
homecoming king, Chandler Boldig
now a Citrus College business major
stood up to anoint his successor. He
already looks like an adult, the teen marveled.

The CHS color guard queues up for the


start of the homecoming parade last
Friday in the Claremont Village.

It was a two-way street. Earlier in the


afternoon, Mr. Boldig said returning to
the site of last years triumph felt both
nostalgic and surreal. Everyone looks
so much younger, he said. Ive been
chilling on a college campus.
The crowd waited expectantly as the
five potential homecoming kings took
their places, clad in black tuxes and accompanied by family members. They
bring to the court an impressive number
of involvements.
Gavin Wride is ASB president and
band section leader. Jack Kolodge is captain of the varsity soccer team and is active in ASB as well as in CHS Water
Wise Club and Ocean Lovers Society.
Matt Brown is president of Teens for
Troops, is a member of the Interact Club,
tutors kids at Vista Elementary School

weekend events also include the naming of the king and queen, the football
game and, of course, the formal dance.

joked. Actually, its been a great ride.


The teachers at CHS have all been wonderful and theres the AP and IB [International Baccalaureate] programs to
challenge the kids.
Bijan Kavoosi is a member of the Interfaith Youth Council, aimed at fostering understanding and cooperation
among people of diverse faiths. He was
compelled to join the group because he
has experienced religious discrimination
firsthand. When asked what it felt like to
be named to the homecoming court, he
was frank.
I think its sort of a jokeI dont belong here. Im not one of the popular
kids, he said. It seems odd to me.
The final member of the court was
Markelle Davis, a member of the Ocean
Lovers Society who is also on the varsity
football team. The whole family, including his parents and both grandmothers,
turned out to see him take his place with
the homecoming court. But with unfinished game business, the teen was un-

derstandably preoccupied. Hes worried


about the game more than this, his dad,
Marquise Davis, said.
Markelle would suffer some disappointment that night when, after a hardfought game, the Pack lost to Ayala
24-21. He had, however, another victory
as consolation. At the end of the rally,
Markelle was named homecoming king
for the 2015-2016 school year.
The event also included the announcement of another winner.
As per usual, each class at CHS designed and built a float, with this years
entrees taking on the theme of various
cities. In what has become a longstanding tradition, the senior floata homage
to New York Citytook top honors.
All in all, the afternoon was a success,
CHS Principal Brett OConnor said.
Theres a lot of tradition, he said.
Its high-energy and its a great time.

WHOLESALE LENDER as Beneficiary, WILL SELL
AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable
at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said
County, California describing the land therein as: AS
MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF
TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold
as is. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 3184 FALLOW FIELD DRIVE,
DIAMOND BAR, CA 91765-3477 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 without covenant

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 obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses
and advances at the time of the initial publication of this
Notice of Trustees Sale is estimated to be $780,934.53
(Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued

accept a cashiers check drawn on a state or national
bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or
a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified

funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a
matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes
all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any
reason, the successful bidders sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and
the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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 In Source Logic at 702-659-7766 for information regarding the Trustee's Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information
regarding the sale of this property, using the file number

about postponements that are very short in duration or

immediately be reflected in the telephone information or

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 recorders 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 888-988-6736 for information regarding the trustees sale or visit this Internet Web
site http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file
number assigned to this foreclosure by the
Trustee: CA-14-615569-AL . 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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any
incorrectness of the property address or other
common designation, if any, shown herein. If no
street address or other common designation is
shown, directions to the location of the property
may be obtained by sending a written request to
the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first
publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee
is unable to convey title for any reason, the
successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy
shall be the return of monies paid to the
Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have
no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for
any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be
entitled only to a return of the deposit paid.
The Purchaser shall have no further recourse
against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the
Mortgagees Attorney. If you have previously
been discharged through bankruptcy, you may
have been released of personal liability for this
loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders rights against the real
property only. As required by law, you are
hereby notified that a negative credit report
reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to
fulfill the terms of your credit obligations.

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,

24

if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the


sale of this property, you may call 800-758-8052
for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit
this Internet Web site www.homesearch.com for
information regarding the sale of this property,
using the file number assigned to this case
00000004914693. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur
close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or
on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify
postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. FOR TRUSTEE SALE INFORMATION PLEASE CALL: XOME 750 HIGHWAY

The recent sale of our Claremont home presented some very


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