Safe passage on Towne

Not a small undertaking by any measure, but one that would make passage to Sumner, Griffith Park and other areas north and south of the freeway much safer to navigate for our children and families on foot and bicycles than the current mess on Towne Avenue. And, specifically, the four intersections created by the 210. I am not sure if this was ever discussed during pre-freeway planning or if it was simply overlooked. It certainly should have been considered during the construction of the freeway. Regardless, now is the perfect opportunity to pass all or a portion of the costs to the developers who are profiting from the very people who will directly benefit from such an improvement. They certainly have the means to pay for it. The landscape of Base Line between Towne and Monte Vista is going to change drastically. This controversial topic is, in itself, a discussion for another day but, we should be sure that we address the safety of the residents who will want to travel to the park, school and friends homes in different neighborhoods of Claremont.

Dear Editor: With the recent onslaught of highdensity housing on Base Line Road being approved, it seems the perfect opportunity to address safe passage traveling north and south on Towne Avenue. My oldest son, who is now in college, attended Sumner Elementary School in fifth and sixth grades. He would sometimes ride his bike to school down the Thompson Creek Trail. This was after the 210 freeway opened to the 15 freeway. After several near death incidents at the on- and off-ramps of the 210, we decided it best for him to discontinue his bike riding to school. The truth is, people entering and exiting the freeway are not as in tune to pedestrians and bike traffic as they are exiting or entering the freeway and getting on to their next destination. This brings me to the reason for my letter. It seems that one of the requirements the city should impose on the builders of these new properties is to further the Thompson Creek Trail across Base Line and under the 210 freeway.

City remains active addressing Claremont crime issues
rime in Claremont is at a 34-year low. A total of 936 assaults, thefts and related Part I crimesviolent crimes against persons and those against propertywere recorded in 2013. Last years rate, representing a one percent decrease from that reported in 2012, is the fourth lowest recorded in ClareCRIME mont in more than three decades, according to the citys annual crime report recently submitted by the Claremont Police Department. It was pleasant news for many Claremont folks, who have been fighting a surge of neighborhood crime in recent months, particularly residential burglary. In fact, residential break-in rates decreased by two percent this past year, from 163 in 2012 to 159 in 2013, according to Claremont Captain Jon Traber. Commercial crime rates are a different story. As residential crime rates decreased, commercial burglary rose by more than 89 percent, Capt. Traber relayed. An estimated 121 commercial burglaries were reported in 2013 as compared to 64 in 2012. By May 2013, the reported commercial burglaries for the year had exceeded all of the commercial burglaries reported in 2012, the police captain added. The Claremont Police Department attributes the swell in commercial crime to a couple of burglary rings that were targeting Foothill communities last spring. Following some key arrests, however, commercial crime rates dropped from an average of 14 incidents in a month to about seven. The work is far from over. Police continue to collaborate with the Claremont Chamber and local business owners to ensure the citys business districts remain safe. Ultimately its just trying to keep people aware and cognizant of what going on, said Claremont Lieutenant Mike Ciszek. In partnership with the areas first responders, the Chamber continues with its business crime alert email system, notifying shop owners whenever criminal activity takes place within the citys marketplaces. The
alert system remains the Chambers most popular correspondence, according to the Chambers Chief Executive Officer Maureen Aldridge. She attributes the success to Claremont PDs enthusiastic partnership. Its really great that our police department is willing to share information and allow us to get it out to our members, Ms. Aldridge shared. In addition to the business crime alert system, the Chamber has set up a Business Watch group similar to that of neighborhood watches. With stickers to place in front windows and brochures to hand out to customers, shop owners are equipped with an additional resource to keep crime at bay. Business owners are also playing their part. Last April, more than 50 local proprietors gathered at the Claremont Chamber to take matters into their own hands. An educational forum with Claremont police advised business owners with the tools they needed to prevent crime. These include installing a proper alarm systemwith the police department as the first pointof-contact when the alarm is activatedincreasing the lighting at businesses, especially after hours, and refraining from obscuring the view in glass storefronts. Commercial burglaries are not yet a thing of the past, though only two have been reported recorded so far in 2014, according to Lt. Ciszek. Business owners continue to take steps to keep crime out of Claremonts business centers. Claremont Lock & Key is not just known for its expertise in supplying local establishments with highquality security features. Marty Moreno, the store manager, notes the business has taken extra steps to secure their own safety amidst the increased crime. In addition to the shops security system, the local locksmith has lined the glass of his storefront with a security film to further deter burglars. The film wont stop the window from breaking, but will keep it from shattering, he says. Mr. Moreno and other shop owners have taken to the Business Watch program, pleased to play their
part in keeping Claremonts business community safe. The police cant be everywhere. Its important the community does their part, Mr. Moreno said. Mr. Moreno and the crew from Claremont Lock & Key will be giving a presentation on their company and security measures at the upcoming Chamber breakfast, taking place this Tuesday, March 11 from 7:30 to 9 a.m. at the DoubleTree by Hilton hotel in Claremont, located at 555 W. Foothill Blvd. The cost is $15 for Chamber members ($17 at the door) or $20 for potential members by reservation only.

CUSD gives Brandywine extension to develop new plans
he Claremont Unified School District has extended the deadline for the final sale of a vacant lot at 2475 N. Forbes Ave., a 9.7-acre parcel once home to the now-defunct La Puerta Intermediate School.
The school district awarded the surplus property to Brandywine Homes of Irvine, California, who bid $18,875,000 in December with the hopes of developing a 59-unit luxury home complex at the site. CUSD and Brandywine have since entered a period of due diligence, during which the developer may choose to pull out of the deal with the district if it is determined financially unfeasible. Though the contract was set to end on February 27, CUSD heeded Brandywine executives request for an extension, says Lisa Shoemaker, CUSDs superintendent of business
services. The new deadline is Friday, March 28. We extended the due diligence period so [Brandywine] could revise their plan and take it back to the city, Ms. Shoemaker said. As of Wednesday, director of community development Brian Desatnik confirmed he had yet to see the real estate companys new plans. He did note, however, that another preliminary review of Brandywines concept is tentatively set for the March 18 Planning Commission meeting. Brandywines early development plansbrought forward for a preliminary review at a packed planning commission meeting last monthinclude 59 twostory homes, ranging from 3550 to 4000 square feet each on 6000- to 7000-square-foot lots. Residents at the meeting were supportive of building on the vacant land, but overwhelmingly opposed to the developers plan. More than a dozen residents spoke out against the development because it proposed building homes
much larger than those currently in the North Forbes neighborhood. The adjacent neighborhood, comprised of mostly one-story homes, is zoned as residential with singlefamily homes that are required to be situated on a minimum 13,000 square-feet lot. The developer would need to proceed with a zone change should those plans persist. The lot is currently zoned public and does not allow for residential development. While Brandywine executives remain unresponsive to requests for comment, Ms. Shoemaker noted the developer is revisiting their plans in an attempt to make things work. [The developers] are crunching the numbers again to see if they can incorporate the concerns expressed by the community and see whether or not they can bring that project to fruition, she said in an interview earlier this month.

Claremont takes next steps in seeking water operations partner
he La Verne City Council voted unanimously on Monday night to move forward with a study analyzing the feasibility of potentially becoming Claremonts new water system operator. La Vernes decision comes a week after the Claremont councils approval of the study. All local council members voted in favor of the inspection with the exception of Councilmember Corey Calaycay, who abstained because he is already a paying customer of the La Verne utility. While the agreement begins the next step in the water system acquisition process, there is still a long road ahead before any new operator is selected. Golden State Water Company, Claremonts current operator, maintains its intent to continue running the water system. Claremont officials have made it clear they will not give up the fight, even if it means obtaining the water system through eminent domain proceedings. There also remains a lot of work to be done in finding a suitable replacement should the city inherit the system. The approved feasibility study does not commit La Verne as the water system operator should Claremont obtain its system from Golden State, insists City Manager Bob Russi. It just outlines the parameters to allow us to do the
analysis we need to consider if we can operate this system should Claremont acquire it, Mr. Russi said. A report released by Claremont administration last month notes the citys acquisition team is still reviewing the possibility of other local public water suppliers who may be interested and able to serve as the operator of the Claremont system. These prospects include the cities of Upland and Pomona, the Monte Vista Water District or even another private third-party operator. The agreement dictates that Claremont officials will not be able to use the approved feasibility study being conducted by the city of La Vernes Public Works Department to negotiate with another possible operator. Further, should Claremont decide not to operate its water system in conjunction with La Verne, the citys costs will be reimbursed. Until then, each city will be in charge of its own costs involved in the study. The feasibility study is being conducted by La Vernes Public Works Department, led by Director Dan Keesey, and is estimated to be completed in the next three to six months, according to Mr. Russi. It really depends on the coordination. We still need to meet with Claremont staff and outside consultants. There is a lot involved, he said.
The Claremont City Council will hold a public hearing on potential water system operators on Tuesday, March 25 at 6:30 p.m. The meeting has been moved to Taylor Hall, 1774 N. Indian Hill Blvd., to allow for a larger attendance. As the city moves forward with acquisition efforts, officials continue to fight a lawsuit filed by Golden State Water Company. The water company filed the suit last November, alleging the city has not complied with the California Public Records act, which declares all public records in the state of California to be open and available to anyone. Last week, the Claremont City Council approved the use of $150,000 of the citys unassigned General Fund money for its defense against Golden State Water. In a statement last week, City Attorney Sonia Carvalho maintained Claremont officials have the right to refuse disclosure because of claimed attorney-client and work product privileges, and for allowed exemptions in the California Public Records Act. I see no other alternative in this situation unless the city were willing to completely jeopardize its position in this acquisition, she said.
Stolen credit card leads police to gold mine over the weekend
On Saturday afternoon, police responded to the DoubleTree Hotel, 555 W. Foothill Blvd., where a man had used a stolen credit card to pay for his stay and more than $300 in room service. Christian Gutierrez, a 36-year-old transient, was contacted and found in possession of at least 100 Social Security , drivers license and credit card numbers, according to Claremont Lieutenant Shelly Vander Veen. Police say Mr. Gutierrez was also in possession of methamphetamine. He was arrested for identity theft, drug possession and an outstanding warrant. Police made their way to another room at the hotel, paid for using the same stolen credit card. There, officers found two more subjects in possession of stolen checks and drivers licenses, card readers and at least 50 stolen credit card numbers. Methamphetamine and heroin were allegedly also found in the room. James Pinto, a 26-year-old transient, and Colin
POLICE BLOTTER
Nash, a 32-year-old West Covina resident, were also arrested for identity theft and drug possession. An arraignment was held Tuesday. Thursday, February 27 Problems persisted for residents in the 700 block of Lancaster Circle last week as three homes were targeted in evening burglaries. All took place between 7:15 p.m. and midnight. In two of the incidents, burglars entered the home by prying open the front door. In the other, a glass windowpane was broken in the door. More than $2500 in electronics, wallets and cash was taken from one of the houses. Nothing was reported missing in the other. In the final case, the resident was home when burglars forced their way in. She screamed and the crooks fled, according to Lieutenant Mike Ciszek. Police were unable to locate them. A report was taken. Saturday, March 1 A little too much imbibing led two Claremont visitors into unsuccessful and accidental attempts at breaking-and-entering early Saturday morning. At 1:30 a.m. Justin Bean, a 33-year-old Rancho Cucamonga resident, attempted to hitch a ride with a complete stranger, allegedly trying to open the car door while the vehicle was stopped at a red light at Indian Hill Boulevard and First Street. Down the road, Brandon Wulf, a 35-year-old Montclair resident, was knocking incessantly at the back door of an unknown apartment in the 600 block of South Indian Hill Boulevard. Both men were arrested for public intoxication. Tuesday, March 4 Less than three weeks after an El Roble student was struck by a car on her way to school, police responded to yet another similar incident at the local intermediate school. A student informed
school officials she was hit by a woman driving a white SUV while walking across Harrison Avenue. Though the girl said she was not injured, she was transported to the hospital and her parents were notified. The driver of the vehicle has not come forward. **** A robber remains at large after stealing an undisclosed amount of cash following the Tuesday dinner rush at a local eatery. Around 8:10 p.m., the man entered World Famous Grill, located at 806 S. Indian Hill Blvd., and demanded the cashier give him money. The robber claimed he had a gun. The cashier gave him the cash and the man took off. The crook is described as a Hispanic male in his late 20s, about six feet tall with a thin build. Police arrested a man shortly after the incident. It was later determined he was not the suspect and he was released. Any information on this crime should be reported to the Claremont Police Department at (909) 399-5411.
Claremonters provide respite, respect to activists
he city of Claremont was a welcome stop for weary travelers on Tuesday. Locals gathered at Larkin Park in the afternoon sun to greet a pack of protesters undertaking a 3,000-mile journey on foot from Los Angeles to Washington, DC, all part of the Great March for Climate Action.
The trek kicked off last Saturday from Wilmington, California, just outside of Los Angeles, where an estimated 1500 gathered to call attention to the effects of the climate crisis. The torrential downpour did little to dampen spirits as around 50 marchers began the first leg of their crosscountry caravan in the name of political reform. Historically, marches have helped create a shift in consciousness, said Shari Hrdina, administrative director of the march. The Womens Suffrage March, Martin Luther Kings Civil Rights Movement and Gandhis Salt March are all great examples. The purpose of our march is to help bring attention to the issue and change peoples consciousness so action can happen quicker. Thousands are expected to join in the cause by journeys end, tentatively set for November 1, 2014. The now-sweeping movement started from humble beginnings. The idea was first sparked by former Iowa Senator Ed Fallon, a progressive talk radio show host and an area coordinator for the Great Peace March for Global Nuclear Disarmament. Held in 1986, the Great Peace March was a similar effort to the Great March for Climate Change, seeking to bring attention to the dangers of nuclear weaponry and advocate for its eradication. The experience was eye-opening for some. For Mr. Fallon, it was transformative. It inspired me to see people of all backgrounds and economic levels so excited about what we were doing, he said. The state of global warming inspired Mr. Fallon into action once more. Plans for another Great March began in February, and while the road to the kick-off was long and tedious, the idea of a peaceful protest has latched on with activists across the nation. Lala Palazzolo, a Michigan native who is also a veteran of the Great Peace March, is one of many who have taken to the concept. A recent empty

nester, Ms. Palazzolo said she felt compelled to put her protest prowess back to work, and was in turn inspired by Mr. Fallons cause. Im done sitting back at home being passive, she said. I want to give back to the bigger picture. Apathy is worth rebelling against. Ms. Palazzolo and fellow marchers
were prepared to do just that, spending the next 243 days braving the elements in their crusade to Capitol Hill. The weather, however, isnt the only obstacle theyre facing. Every day presents a new challenge as event organizers search for shelter and other accommodations along the way. While showers are scarce and some days participants have nothing but tents
and open land after a long days travel, Ken Snyder, a walker from Long Island, New York, says he has been moved by the outpouring of support from community groups and local churches. In their usual way, Claremont volunteers stepped up to the plate to provide the travelers a little respite from the burden of the road. After two nights of camping and several days without a shower, protesters had the opportunity to stay in the comforts of home Tuesday night before hitting the road for Rialto on Thursday. The campaign is far from over and many more uncertainties lie ahead, but marchers walk into the unknown with open arms. They hope others will remain equally open to their conversation promoting environmental justice, sustainability and nonviolent action. This [march] is an impetus for change, Ms. Palazzolo said.

Claremont close to, far from the world

By John Pixley
ever mind having my own private airplane. This was like having my own private airport.
It was 8 oclock on a recent Friday morning, and I was flying to Portland, Oregon with a companion for the weekend. Being dropped off at Ontario International Airport was excitingI dont fly much and love getting to do so. It was also weird. This is an international airport? A ghost town was more like it. Okay, it wasnt a ghost town, but it was certainly quiet. There were cars, but I wouldnt say there was any traffic, and the curb looked like it was begging to be used. Apparently, we were the only ones getting dropped off. Like I said, it was like having my own private airport. Inside, there were people getting tickets and checking baggage, but there were no lines at the counters. Going through security was a breeze, or as much of a breeze as going through security can be, and the large halls were all the larger with a few people scattered here and there. It was a surprise when the plane turned out not to be my own but own but fullwhere did all these people could from?although it was a pretty small plane. This was weird, but it really wasnt. Apparently, Ontario International Airport is now like this much of the time. I have been seeing reports in the last two years or two that the airport is struggling. Or, more correctly, the airport is in the middle of a struggle. For some years, the city of Ontario has been saying that the Los Angeles International Airport Association (LAIAA), which runs the airport in Ontario along with others including Los Angeles International Airport, has been ignoring the Ontario airport, letting it languish, in favor of LAX. Ontario has been trying to take over the local airports operation, saying it can do a better job
observer
and also eyeing the revenue it can raise for the city, but the LAIAA refuses to let it. So theres a stand-off here, and the loser is clearly this all-but-empty airport. As nice as an uncrowded, if not private, airport is certainly better than when I flew out of LAX several years agoit would be a real shame if the Ontario airport ended up being shut down. And not just because I have sweet memories of going there as a child to pick up visiting relatives. (This was when there was only the ticket counters, waiting rooms and baggage claim, all in a row, before there were those great long halls with practically a city of shops, restaurant and cafes, long before the post-9/11 screening, and when passengers walked on the tarmac and used those airplane stairs and loved ones could join them right up to the tarmac.) At the very least, getting to the Ontario airport is so much easier than getting to LAX. For as long as I can remember, I have heard people sigh, grumble, groan when saying that they are taking someone to or picking someone up at LAX. Indeed, whether someone in Claremont will give a ride to or from LAX may well be the ultimate test of friendship. LAX may be the bane of our existence out here in Claremonthow could it be possible that no one is using the Ontario airport?but the reality is that going to and from anywhere in LA is a crapshoot. Sometimes LA is just so far away. Like on a recent Saturday night. I had seen a play at the Odyssey Theater in LA, it was after 11 and getting back home suddenly seemed like a huge ordeal. It didnt help that the
on-ramp to the 405 was closedno, it wasnt the Jamzilla weekendand that there was suddenly a bank of very dense fog. I told my friend it would be nice to have an apartment out there where I could crash. Once we finally got on the 10, after ending up on the 405 south of the 10 and having to get off and get back on heading north, it wasnt bad. Still, I found myself saying, This is when I hate being in Claremont. I told myself a number of years ago that I would stay in Claremont with it being easy or at least not too hard to get to LA. (The Metrolink train and the 210 freeway extension helped in this decision.) At times like this, it feels like the deal is being broken. Sometimes, its just late by the time I start heading out of LA, especially the west side, and I wish I could go right to bedIm not 25 anymorerather than have to take the trip home. Sometimes, there is traffic on the way home at 10:30 on a Saturday night or going to LA at 7 p.m. on a Saturday or at 2 p.m on a Sunday. The fact is that the 5 oclock traffic doesnt mean anything anymore. (It sounds quaint, doesnt it?) There is, or can be, traffic anytime, anywhere. It is frustrating having to leave my house by 6:30 for an 8 p.m. show in LA, knowing that I might get there at 7:15 but also that if I leave at 7, I may well get stuck in traffic and be late. (Having GPS with a traffic feature helps.) All the more frustrating is knowing that I was recently able to get home one evening from the Mark Taper Forum in half an hour. Perhaps this isnt the bestnot with this griping now and then, not to mention wondering about the handy local airportbut its certainly the better part of both worlds. Or perhaps of all worlds. Especially when, also in recent weeks, Ive been able to see Avenue Q performed at the high school (the intrepid Krista Elhai and her brave crew strikes again!) and a Leonard Pronko-directed production of Molieres Tartuffe at the colleges here.

Conservation
Dear Editor: I find it interesting that articles and conversations surrounding conservation only seem to come up when there is a drought. I must admit that I am guilty of this as well. As our family has been discussing what we need to do to conserve, I am reminded of my parents efforts in this regard. My parents, who passed away nine and four years ago, respectively, at the ages of 90 and 91, practiced conservation until their dying days. They turned off lights whenever they left a room until they needed a bit more for failing vision. When they showered, they turned off the water while they soaped and turned it back on to rinse. When they brushed their teeth, they wet their toothbrushes, turned off the water while they brushed and then turned it back on to rinse. They did this every day, drought or no drought. Simple actions? Yes, but every little bit helps.

By stopping 501(c)(4) organizations from spending on candidate-related political activity, the IRS can stop the abuse in its tracks. For 94 years, the league has played a unique role in our elections by providing truly nonpartisan voter services and information to voters across the country. Unfortunately, the IRS proposal as it stands would jeopardize our work because it does not provide any exception for truly nonpartisan voter service activities like those carried out by the league. This is a terrible mistake, both for voters and for our democracy. The League of Women Voters of the Claremont Area urges you to contact the IRS to urge the agency to work to support voter service work and stop dark money from polluting our elections.
Ellen Taylor VP for Advocacy LWV of the Claremont Area
Dirty money: Citizens United
Dear Editor: The Internal Revenue Service has proposed very significant changes in the regulations that govern what kind of political activity and how much of that activity a Section 501(c)(4) organization can carry out. This step is our best chance to rein in the secret dark money that has been polluting our elections since the Supreme Courts terrible decision in Citizens United. At the same time, the current proposal would undermine the Leagues ability to conduct truly nonpartisan voter service activities across the country. While the national League has commented to the IRS on this proposal, we need the help of citizens all over the USA. Reforming IRS regulations is our single best opportunity to respond to Citizens
Will the City of Trees and PhDs remain free?
Dear Editor: I have no problem with action groups such as Sustainable Claremont lobbying our city in regards to initiating or improving upon a public policy in regards to trees on public property. I have a huge problem, however, with the city even contemplating a policy whereby a property owners freedoms are further curtailed beyond present limits. I understand that we need building codes, zoning restrictions, etc. in a city for public safety. We all want Claremont to look beautiful and inviting. That is ex-
actly why I moved here 30 years ago. I do not accept, however, any further erosion of our individual rights as citizens for the pleasure of a few activists in the community. How I trim my trees, how I mow my grass, the flowers that I choose to plant or not plant...those rights are mine and not yours. I get to choose the clothing that I wear, the car that I drive, the foods I eat, the occupation I choose to pursue, the art that I like, the books I read, the news I watch, the church I go to, etc. You may not like the way I trim my trees and I can assure you that I dont like your piercings, tattoos and rusty car with the Obama sticker on the back window. This concept is called freedom and it is exactly why so many have immigrated to the United States from other countries to help build the greatest nation in the history of this planet. Freedom. however. has become an endangered word in our society and if we dont act now, it will soon become extinct. Few would argue that professionally trained arborists could do a better job of trimming trees than a homeowner or untrained tree trimmer but at what cost? What about the homeowner that cant afford the trained arborist? Will the city supply one? Will the city pay for the trained arborist from a tree fee that each property owner is assessed for each tree that is on his or her property? It is policy like this, with good intentions, that eventually morphs itself into unintended consequences leading to poverty for many and it further necessi-
tates the further expansion of government into our private lives. Does the concept of affordable housing in Claremont only apply to the purchase price or should it apply to the cost of maintenance as well? I concur with Ronald Reagan when he said the most terrifying words in the English language are Im from the government and Im here to help. I urge the city and Sustainable Claremont to simply provide the public with information on the suggested way to trim their trees and then let the homeowner decide how they wish to proceed or if they wish to proceed. It is the God given diversity of ideas, the uniqueness of the individual and the freedom to pursue and express those differences among us that has made our society great. Lets not interfere with Gods original plan for all people to be free or destroy the dreams of our countrys Founding Fathers. I have a dream that one day I will live in a free City of Trees, PhDs with less fees!

Foothill Gold Line to Azusa is halfway complete:

by Sam Pedroza
Chair, Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Phase II Joint Powers Authority Board of Directors; Vice Chair, Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority Board, and City of Claremont Council member
n 2010, the Foothill Gold Line to Azusa was the first Measure R rail project to break ground and has remained on time and on budget as work as progressed. The project has recently reached a major milestonethe 11.5-mile light rail project from Pasadena to Azusa is more than halfway complete.
Displays of this progress are visible throughout the five-city corridor and the excitement is building as it becomes more and more apparent that the Gold Line will soon arrive in the cities of Arcadia, Monrovia, Duarte, Irwindale and Azusa. When completed, the nearly $1 billion Measure R light rail project will include six new light rail stations with intermodal parking facilities; two dozen new and rebuilt bridge structures; 14 at-grade street crossings; 3.6 miles of shared corridor with BNSF Railway; a 24-acre, $265 million Operations Campus to house up to 84 light rail vehicles; and much more. At the halfway point, eight at-grade street crossings, 15 bridge structures, 40
percent of the Operations Campus, and 70 percent of the utility work is now complete. The majority of the freight track has been fully realigned to its new position south of the future light rail tracks, and more than half of the overhead electrical system foundations have been put in place. Just recently, the first light rail tracks were installed. While the Gold Line extension to Azusa still has a significant way to go to substantial completion, the progress already made provides the confidence that the project will be delivered on schedule and on budget. The Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority (Construction Authority), the agency overseeing the planning, design and construction for the Foothill Gold Line projects, anticipates turning the Pasadena to Azusa segment over to the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) in September 2015 for testing and prerevenue service. Metro will decide when the project opens for passenger service. As we hit this important milestone for the Pasadena to Azusa segment, the construction authority is kicking-off the next phases of work for the Azusa to Montclair and Ontario Airport extensions. Detailed design work for the 12.3-mile Foothill Gold Line from Azusa to Mont-
VIEWPOINT
clair will begin later this year. The nearly two-year advanced conceptual engineering phase will bring the projects design to a point at which it will be shovel ready for a design-build procurement. The Azusa to Montclair segment, which includes our station here in Claremont, as well as stations in Glendora, San Dimas, La Verne, Pomona and Montclair, was environmentally cleared early last year. Unlike the current segment, the Azusa to Montclair segment is a fully shared corridor with BNSF Railway, and partially shared with Metrolink (Pomona east to Montclair). The design needs to allow all three systems to work harmoniously within a single corridor. Light rail will not share tracks with the freight or Metrolink trains, however. Significant work will be needed to develop the design for the shared corridor, as well as each at-grade crossing, bridge structure, station and parking facility, the communication system, and much more. This segment includes three new light rail bridge structures over streets that currently do not have bridges, adding to the projects complexity.
The nearly $1 billion needed to construct the Foothill Gold Line from Azusa to Montclair is currently being sought; however, Measure R is funding the majority of the cost associated with the upcoming design work (San Bernardino County is coming up with their proportional sum). Stay tuned to hear more about this next phase of work that will bring us closer to the Gold Line arriving in Claremont! Finally, the construction authority also intends to begin work later this year on the next required study for the Ontario Airport Extension, which will connect the line to the airport in an eight-mile final link from the Montclair TransCenter. This segment is years away from fruition, but the construction authority continues to be committed to working toward the goal of a terminus at the airport. The preferred option identified through the upcoming work will then move forward to environmental review. The construction authority is proud of our record of success with the first two segments of the Gold Line, and we look forward to continuing that success into the future as we seek construction funding for the Azusa to Montclair segment and continue planning for a final connection to Ontario Airport.
Michael Heilpern
Conservationist, community-builder, jazz lover
Michael Zachary Heilpern died peacefully at his home in Claremont on February 15, 2014. He was 63 years old. He was born December 15, 1950 in the Bronx, New York. Much of his childhood was spent in the idyllic Westchester County neighborhood of Peekskill. He was the first child born to Jacob Heilpern, a certified public accountant, and Betty Wogman Heilpern, a kindergarten and special education teacher. In the fifth grade, young Michael met the love of his life, Linda Weber. His equal in all ways, their good-natured academic rivalry eventually turned to romance and they began dating at the age of 15. Inseparable from that point on, they participated in many school extracurricular activities together and ultimately both graduated from Lakeland High School with honors. Just prior to his death, Mr. Heilpern and Linda marked their 43rd wedding anniversary and celebrated 54 years of knowing one another. At a very early age, Mr. Heilperns parents instilled in him a love of learning and a deep appreciation for music. In addition to taking classes at the Berklee College of Music, Mr. Heilpern attended Wesleyan University, earning a bachelors degree in music education in 1975. Blessed with an inherent aptitude for music and a wonderful singing voice, he studied guitar, piano, harmonium, tabla and harmonica. In more recent years, he became a dedicated amateur jazz vibraphonist, receiving instruction from noted musician and composer Eldad Tarmu. Mr. Heilpern was a curious student of the world, a serious and sensitive thinker who enjoyed learning about different religions, cultures and avenues of social change. The late 60s and early 70s marked what the Heilperns would later call their hippie years. They studied yoga, experimented with communal living, actively campaigned for peace and eagerly explored the burgeoning whole foods movement. Mr. Heilpern also undertook a musical tour of India, playing the tabla to large crowds in many towns. Mr. Heilpern married his beloved Linda in 1971, and they celebrated the birth of their daughter Harsimran three years later. Harsimran, a Sanskrit word meaning constant meditation on the universal music of God, is an apt name for the daughter of a man whose life was so thoroughly steeped in music. My dad had a profound influence on my life, inspiring me to cultivate and pursue what I found meaningful, to be kind and compassionate to others, and to live an honest and ethical life, she related. Those who knew the couple can attest to the strong and loving bond that made them such a capable and dynamic team, whether raising their daughter, fighting for social change or working side-byside to run a small typesetting business that they began in 1979 when they first moved to California. Their dedication to a 2011 review of a gig by pianist Rique Pantoja demonstrates Mr. Heilperns gift for words and reverence for music. His melodies are so lyrical and organic that I was inclined to take them for granted, like the under-appreciated virtues of a beautiful friend you have known for many years. Seduced into a dreamlike state by the apparent simplicity of his opening lines, I was surprised to find just moments later that we were flying in the musical stratosphere in a realm of great rhythmic and harmonic intensity. In 2004, the California Jazz Arts Society (CalJAS) was three months into its first performance seriesheld in the Claremont Forum in the old COURIER buildingwhen Mr. Heilpern learned about the organization. He was shocked that some of LAs best jazz artists were performing in his backyard and that so providing high-quality service to their few people knew about it.

The following excerpt from icy.
OBITUARIES
One of Michaels best qualities was his ability to keep this group together and grow it, Mr. Path said. He was able to take all these different ideas and blend them together in a way that kept our eye on the prize, which is to help the city in its efforts to manage our urban forest. Susan Schenk, who serves on Sustainable Claremonts board of directors, has been impressed with Mr. Heilperns contribution to the ongoing conversation about how to care for Claremonts leafscape. He was really good at framing things in a tactful manner and getting people to talk about things, Ms. Schenk said. He helped things go more clearly, more smoothly. The last several months of Mr. Heilperns life were spent, in part, drafting a public policy document outlining a responsible strategy for the maintenance of this towns trees. Kathleen Trepa is director of community and human services for the city of Claremont. She said that Mr. Heilperns inputwhich has included appearances at tree policy workshops as well as the submission of a thick binder with suggestions on maintaining and growing the citys urban foresthas been valuable. I think what [TAG members] did is they challenged us, she said. Michael was passionate about trees. At the same time, he was very articulate and very moderated and respectful in how he presented his opinion to city staff. The Reverend Butch Henderson, who serves as chair of the Human Services Commission and of the citys tree committee, said Mr. Heilperns contributions represent the kind of input that make the community function. He in a way has become the conscience of our urban forest in Claremont, Rev. Henderson said. He had so much conviction and passion and he absolutely presented his concerns in a very gentlemanly but prophetic way. Many were aware that Mr. Heilpern battled with the challenges of a chronic and painful autoimmune disease, but that was hardly the most memorable thing about him. Family, friends and even those who only knew him casually remember him for his generous heart and booming laugh, for his warm and outgoing nature, and for his unstoppable desire to experience and foster the truly transcendent elements of life. Mr. Heilpern is survived by his wife, Linda Heilpern, of Claremont; his brother, Slim Heilpern, and sister-in-law, Penny Hanna, of Aptos, California; and by his daughter, Harsimran Harsi Heilpern, and son-in-law, Ezra Parker, of Vashon, Washington. A public memorial service will be held at the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden this upcoming spring on a date still to be announced. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Tree Action Group of Sustainable Claremont or to LAjazz.com.

David Scott Sanders

Professor, author, veteran, baseball fan
David Scott Sanders, emeritus professor and former chair of the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at Harvey Mudd College, died on February 23, 2014 in Carlsbad, California where he had lived for 18 years after moving from Claremont following his retirement from academic life. He was 87. The only child of David Scott Sanders and Marjorie Elizabeth Wheat, he was born June 14, 1926 in Kellogg, Idaho where his father was a mining engineer. He had strong ties to southern California from his earliest years through his mothers family, who settled in Redlands in the 1870s. During the Great Depression, the family moved several times, spending much time in Redlands. Eventually they moved to South America where they lived principally in Cerro de Pasco, Peru, a mining center in the Andes situated at an elevation of more than 14,000 feet. At the age of 12, young David entered boarding school at Colegio Santa Rosa outside of Lima where he perfected his Spanish, which he delighted in speaking throughout his life. When he reached high school age, his parents remained in Peru and he moved to Los Angeles where he lived with family and family friends and atand earned his bachelors, masters and doctoral degrees (1956). His first professorial appointment was at the University of Maryland in 1956, and he joined the faculty at Harvey Mudd in 1959, the second year of the colleges existence. In 1970, he left Harvey Mudd to accept an appointment at Clarkson University in Potsdam, New York where he was chair of the Department of Humanities for three years. In 1973, he returned to the faculty at Harvey Mudd to serve as chair of the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences. For more than two decades, he and Mrs. Sanders traveled to the North Country of New York to spend summers at the house they owned on Lake Ozonia in the Adirondacks. At Harvey Mudd, he was the first to hold the Louisa and Robert Miller Professor of Humanities Chair, served a term as chair of the faculty and retired in 1991. Mr. Sanders published numerous articles on 20th century American authors and American humor from all periods. He wrote a book on the Pulitzer Prize-winning American author John Hersey that, late in Herseys life, was completely revised and reprinted in an expanded second edition. He also pub-

lished a comprehensive bibliography of the works of the novelist John dos Passos, a contemporary of Hemingway. Mr. Sanders had a lifelong passion for baseball and was the baseball editor for the Journal of Popular Culture. In 1966, he was a Fulbright Professor at the University of Salamanca in Spain where he lectured in Spanish on 20th century American literature. In 1985, he was an invited visiting professor at National Taiwan University in Taipei. Mr. Sanders was a member of the Audubon Society and an avid bird watcher who participated in numerous bird counts and other birding events in the Claremont and Carlsbad areas. Mr. Sanders is survived by his wife of 66 years, Mary Frances; by their three children, Scott Sanders of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Bonnie Hall of Carlsbad, California and Peter Sanders of Greenville, South Carolina; by six grandchildren, Jennifer, Susannah, Cory, Tristan, Madeline and Hope; and by three great-grandchildren, James, Ruby and Wolf. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the general scholarship fund of Harvey Mudd College, or to the American Cancer Society.
tended University High School, from which he graduated in 1943. Mr. Sanders began college studies at UCLA that were interrupted in 1944 when he enlisted in the Navy. He served as a radioman on the destroyer USS Waller, seeing action in the Pacific near the end of World War II. After his discharge from the Navy in 1946, he returned to Los Angeles and re-enrolled in UCLA where he met Mary Frances Finch of Los Angeles, and they married in February of 1948. While at UCLA, Mr. Sanders wrote for the Daily Bruin

Inger Stewart Soto

Multiple business owner, sports fan, great friend
Inger Stewart Soto, a former Claremont resident, died from pneumonia complicated by the H1N1 virus at Kaiser Permanente, Ontario on January 9, 2014. He was 44. Stu was born on April 15, 1969 in Chicago, Illinois. He grew up in La Verne and graduated from Bonita High School in 1987. He attended UCLA from 1989 to 1991, and earned a bachelors degree in psychology with an emphasis in organizational studies from Pitzer College in 1992. After graduating from Pitzer, he continued to live in southern California and purchased a home in Rancho Cucamonga in 2003. Mr. Soto obtained a masters degree from Cal State Los Angeles in rehabilitation counseling in 1997. He owned and managed three companies including Vocational Results, AAA Copy and Copy Review Services, established in 1991, 2006 and 2011, respectively. He was a rehabilitation counselor for over 20 years, and he had significant experience in workers compensation. As a highly skilled reviewer and litigation expert, Mr. Soto was hired to be an expert witness to supply testimony and depositions in Sacramento to fight for peoples rights against the insurance industry. He took great satisfaction in helping to expose and rectify fraud within the industry. Mr. Sotos more recent copy work was focused on helping claims professionals contain high costs. In 2009, he began dating Stephanie, whom he had met in high school. They were married on July 7, 2012. The couple enjoyed attending sporting and cultural events and also undertook some memorable vacations, most recently a trip to the east coast Faith was an important part of Mr. Sotos life, and he often turned to scripture when he was in need of strength. Those who knew him describe him as a wonderful and generous personhe was never too busy for a friend and many attest to his helpful and loving ways during
OBITUARIES
their tough life situations. True to his caring nature, Mr. Soto took many of his friends children under his wing, and became a surrogate father to them. Mr. Soto enjoyed getting together with former classmates. He was a volunteer on his high school reunion committee, helping to plan his 10th, 20th, and 25th alumni reunions, as well as attending Pitzer College reunions annually. Mr. Soto is remembered for his remarkable zest for life. He played a great game of tennis, winning several trophies in his local tennis leagues. He was an enthusiastic fan of the Dodgers, the Bruins, and the Lakers, especially Kobe Bryant. He treated many friends to Laker games with his season tickets as well as to an evening at the Magic Castle, where he was a member. In music, he appreciated Oingo Boingo, Depeche Mode and heavy metal. Technology was another passion, with Mr. Soto waiting with bated breath for the newest versions of the iPhone and iPad. He was a very fun-loving guy. He had a certain opti-
mism that allowed him to enjoy almost anything, his Scripps friend Denise Armijo shared. If anyone was able to squeeze a lifetimes worth of laughter and smiles into 44 years, it was Stu Soto. Pitzer friend Catherine Caporale shared, Stu was a fantastic friend and extremely fun. We will miss his infectious laughter and his caring friendship. He brought us many years of happiness. Stu was the epitome of what a good friend should be. Mr. Soto is survived by his wife, Stephanie; by his mother and stepfather, Linda and Moustafa Aly; by his father and stepmother, Salvador and Anna Soto; by his brothers, Douglas Rodriguez and Adam Aly; and by his sisters, Amina Aly, Erica Soto Nedza and Sonia Soto. He also leaves many godchildren, both official and unofficial, especially Kevin, whom he called son for 11 years. Stus college group of Pitzer and Scripps friends say they will always remember his fun and loving ways. They encourage everyone to receive the flu vaccine.

Claremonts water history

by John Neiuber
s I sit down at the desk in my study looking out onto Indian Hill Boulevard, I am prepared to write about a totally different topic, but the first sizeable rainstorm of the season has arrived and it is taking my attention away from the computer screen.
Our dog, Gus, is fascinated by the downpour, not to mention the squirrels that are scrambling for cover. The traffic is slowing to a crawl, as sheets of windblown rain compromise visibility and thunder rolls across the valley. It is difficult to think about being in the middle of an historic drought with all that rain pouring down, the Japanese maple outside my window and the elms on Indian Hill already budding and leafing-out, having been completely fooled during most of the winter that spring had arrived. I begin to think about the water and what difference it may or may not make to our current drought situation, and that gets me to thinking about the local water company and the citys efforts to acquire the water service. Water has been a crucial aspect of the history, growth and development of California and the west, and no less to the history, growth and development of Claremont. More than 200 years ago, before the missions, before the land grants and ranchos, and before the Santa Fe Railroad envisioned Claremont, artesian springs were common and year-round streams flowed through what is now the city. The Gabrielino-Tongva tribe, who lived in a vil-
lage they called Torojoatnga, did so because a stream flowed past Indian Hill Mesa. Springs bubbled up in and around where Memorial Park and Sycamore School are now located, and a stream created by the springs flowed across what is now Eighth Street, down Seventh Street and into a swamp that is now occupied by Pilgrim Place. Young men from Pomona College hunted ducks in the swamp for recreation. As the city developed, and as the citrus industry burgeoned, wells were dug that lowered the level of the groundwater, drying up the springs and the swampy areas. As late as the 1980s and into the 1990s, heavy rains have occasionally caused artesian wells to flow again, especially along Seventh Street and in and around Pilgrim Place. The source of the local water that creates the large aquifer that Claremont and the valley sit upon is San Antonio Creek. The Cucamonga and Palomares ranchos were the first to use the water from the creek after being established in the 1830s. Like most western states where water was a scarce commodity, the claim to the land was created by first usageone settles the land and establishes water rights. The Palomares family dug a sevenmile ditch from the mouth of the canyon for their
irrigation needs that yielded water year-round, albeit only a trickle during the hottest parts of summer. But then severe drought hit in the 1860s and the water dried up. The drought caused economic hardship as cattle and other livestock literally died of thirst. The Palomares rancho never recovered and, in 1862, the worst year of the drought, a smallpox epidemic devastated the GabirelinoTongva tribe. During the boom of the 1870s, the water rights to San Antonio Canyon were purchased by the Revered C.F. Loop and A.R. Meserve from the Palomares family. They also acquired more than 2,000 acres of land in what is now south, west and central Claremont. In 1882, Rev. Loop and Mr. Meserve contracted with M.L. Wicks and Cyrus Mills to transfer the majority of the water rights to San Antonio Canyon. The condition of the sale required Wicks and Mills to construct, at their own cost, an aqueduct for the purpose of supplying water to Pomona. The agreement required them to build the aqueduct out of concrete, stone or iron and also required them to deliver water to the Loop and Meserve land holdingsall within 18 months of the execution of the contract. The system was completed for $65,000 in 1883, a large sum in those days. Out of this deal, the Pomona Land and Water Company was born. The company, however, was not the only one with claims to the San Antonio Canyon water. Before the company could begin in earnest, the water rights had to be settled. The Chaffey brothers, who owned the land upon which Ontario is now located, had claimed the entire flow of the canyon. The claims were settled to everyCLAREMONT HERITAGE/next page

ones satisfaction, giving Pomona and Ontario each a half of the natural flow. Water was plentiful at the time and, even with half, each side was left with plenty of water. By 1886, the Pomona Land and Water Company had 61 artesian wells in operation, ranging in depth from 100 to 200 feet, and maps of the day show the majority of those in what is now Claremont. Unfortunately, most of this Claremont water flowed south, given that Claremont did not exist at the time when the valley water rights were structured. Had Claremont existed, perhaps most of the underground and canyon water would have served the city rather than Pomona. On the other hand, if Pomona had not
fought for the Santa Fe Railroad line, Claremont would not have been established during the boom of 1887. Domestic water became an issue once the city began to grow. The townspeople did not have the benefit of a citrus ranch well and by 1898, the need for a domestic water system was on everyones mind. The Union Water Company of Pomona made a presentation to the residents of Claremont during a town meeting. The company promised a water system, complete with those new-fangled meters. The water supply, or lack of it, would soon be a hot topic of conversation, which Pomona Colleges The Student Life newspaper reported was always a very dry subject in Claremont during the summer. The Union Water Company, however, soon could not meet the needs of the
Sister Terry Dodge receives accolades from Senator Liu

Sister Terry Dodge, executive director of Claremont nonprofit Crossroads, is being honored by Senator Carol Liu as one of this years Women of the Year. Each year sate senators honor women in their districts who have made unique and often unsung contributions to enhance the quality of life for others.

growing community. A local company was established and authorized during a Town Meeting of 1902. Thus, Claremont had its own city water company. It was known as the Citizens Light and Power Company; however, the name was changed in 1904 to the Claremont Domestic Water Company after it abandoned its attempt to provide hydro-electric power. The city operated the water company for 27 years until it was purchased by the American States Water Public Service Company and Southern California Water Company in 1929. The company, an investor-owned utility, produced water from local wells and continued to expand by purchasing wells and small mutual water companies as residential development replaced the citrus industry. Eventually, the company changed its name to Golden State Water Company, which is now a subsidiary of American States Water Company with operations in California and Arizona. The citys water comes from two sources.Sixty percent comes from local groundwater supplies, which Golden State Water Company maintains, and the remainder is imported from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California by way of the Three Valleys Municipal Water District. The rain subsided for a bit, but has begun pouring down again. Gus has lost interest in the goings on outside, now that the squirrels have found shelter from the
storm. I am thinking about all this water coming down and all this water history. The history of water in Claremont has, indeed, been crucial to the development of the city. As I have researched this, I am struck by the difference between the establishment of Citizens Light and Power Company that was created by a town meeting to fulfill a basic need for the citizens and American States Water Company, which is committed to maximizing shareholder value through a combination of capital appreciation and cash dividends, whose mission is designed to deliver superior financial performance for our shareholders. Okay, I am a capitalist, I dont have a problem with people making money, but...this is water, this is the stuff of which life is made, the stuff that sustains us. Shouldnt the higher purpose here be about people and the quality of life, not capital appreciation, cash dividends and shareholders? The music streaming over the Internet from my computer is The Beastie Boys and so, with apologies to them, perhaps a city does need to fight for its right to water.

Cat in the Hat themed event has students feline good
ooks were the order of the day on Monday at Mountain View, when the local elementary school commemorated the National Education Associations Read Across America Day.
The nationwide reading extravaganza is celebrated each year in conjunction with the March 2 birthday of acclaimed childrens author Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss. First, it was off to the multi-purpose room for an 8:30 a.m. assembly starring Jory Rickman, resplendent in a Cat in the Hat costume. Ms. Rickman made for a convincing cat, and why not? The mother of seven Mountain View alums and a former librarian at the school, she has been taking on the rhyming role for 19 years. Ms. Rickman read The Cat in the Hat, the story of a feline visitor who wreaks havok on a home while the two resident kids parents are away. She also talked a bit about Geisel, an American writer and cartoonist who beginning in 1950 transformed the world of early reading with a catalog of fun and fanciful books beloved by children to this day. Green Eggs and Ham, The Lorax, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, Fox in Sox, Horton Hears a Who! and How the Grinch Stole Christmas are just a few of his famous tales. The story of how Dr. Seuss most recognizable character sprang to life is an interesting one. Life magazine published an article in 1954 about on the prevalence of illiteracy among school children. The story attributed the problem to a simple cause. Kids werent learning because only boring books were available to young readers. The director of Houghton Mifflins educational division asked Geisel to take 250 words he deemed crucial for first-graders to learn and turn them into a

book children cant put down. Nine months later, he submitted The Cat in the Hat. The book was a resounding success and remains so, selling 452,258 copies in 2009. After the assembly, the upper graders engaged in independent reading while the younger kids filed out to the playground, where the blacktop was crowded with reading-centric booths. Kids could pick up a free bookmark and toy from representatives of the Friends of the Claremont Library, grab a copy of the COURIER and engage in an array of Seussical activities. For instance, youngsters could get their faces painted like The Cat in the Hat, or play a game in which they attempted to toss beanbags through the holes in boards bedecked with iconic images from Dr. Seuss books. There was music as well as words wafting through

bers of the Claremont Community School of Music (CCSM). This included a harp played by CCSM faculty member Andrea Puente. This writer, a lifelong bookworm, was reminded of the enchanted harp from the first Harry Potter book, which lulled to sleep a three-headed dog guarding the Sorcerers Stone. CCSM instructors Homero Chavez and Clifford Keating played cello and trumpet/clarinet, respectively, while the schools executive director, Matthew Keating, played cello. Kids had the chance to try their hands at some simple instruments, including a rainbow-colored assortment of bells.
After students in the primary grades filed back into their classrooms, the upper graders took their turn at the reading fair. The citys homage to reading will continue on Sunday, March 29 when the Friends of the Claremont Library mark the local reading nooks 100th birthday during their third annual Childrens Book Festival. The event, which will run from 1 to 4 p.m., will include a slew of fun activities including crafts, storytelling, face painting and magic. Every child in attendance at the free event will receive a book to take home, while supplies last.

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

NOTICE OF TRUSTEES SALE TS No. CA13-592781-AB Order No.: 8350065 YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 6/28/1984. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier's check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee. The 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 the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT TO BID LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE. Trustor(s): ARDALAN POURTEYMOOR AND BONNIE LEE MARIE POURTEYMOOR, HUSBAND AND WIFE. Recorded: 7/11/1984 as Instrument No. 84-828955 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of LOS ANGELES County, California; Date of Sale: 3/21/2014 at 9:00 A.M. Place of Sale: Behind the fountain located in Civic Center Plaza, 400 Civic Center Plaza Pomona, CA 91766 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $26,213.45 The purported property address is: 135 NASSAU PLACE, CLAREMONT, CA 91711 Assessors Parcel No.: 8671-031-031 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 714-573-1965 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-13-592781-AB . 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. QUALITY MAY BE CONSIDERED A DEBT COLLECTOR ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT AND ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE.
