Say no to Keystone
Dear Editor:
A recent article in the Los Angeles Times
dated February 11 was about the health
hazards of fracking.
Fracking is a technological method of
extracting oil from old oil wells as well as
separating oil from shale.
State oil and gas regulators have admitted that California has allowed oil companies to inject into our aquifers fracking
flowback water. This flowback water contains large amounts of benzene. Benzene
is a highly flammable, carcinogenic substance found in oil and in our gasoline. It
has been shown that benzene can lead to
leukemia, anemia and bone marrow failure. Benzine has been found in wells at a
level of 700 times greater than what federal standards permit.
The injection of this hazardous material
was alleged to be inadvertent. An investigation should take place to find out if, in
fact, it was inadvertent. This alleged oversight has put the citizens of California at
risk.
Ladies and gentlemen, even though we
are enjoying lower prices at the pump
when we fill up our cars, it is not worth the
cost to our health. Yes, we are producing a
lot more oil in California and in America,
but if we are putting benzene into our
aquifers, what are we really doing? We are
putting our health at risk. It is time to put
a moratorium on fracking.
Dear Editor:
The League of Women Voters has been
fighting to stop the Keystone XL Pipeline
because it is a threat to our public health and
a contributor to climate change. Congress
will soon send legislation to President
Obama that approves the pipeline. President
Obama has already issued a threat to veto
this legislation, and he needs to hear that you
support his decision.
The pipeline will threaten the safety of
our drinking water, promote a bad energy
policy and increase greenhouse gases in our
atmosphere, contributing to climate change.
This venture is all risk, no reward. While
Congress continues to put the interest of polluters ahead of ordinary Americans, the
president can fulfill his commitment to people not polluters. We need to tell the president we support his veto of the pipeline.
The League has long fought battles to
protect clean air and water and prevent pollution that contributes to climate change. We
are proud to stand in support of the presidents Climate Action Plan, which limits
dangerous greenhouse gases from power
plants and establishes resiliency efforts. Approving the pipeline would directly counter
steps he has taken to protect public health
and safeguard our environment.
The League supports President Obamas
fight against climate change, including a
veto of the Keystone legislation. Let President Obama know you support a veto of
the legislation to approve the pipeline.

CITY NEWS
Apartment residents combat crime with safe housing program
o matter where you live,

your home is your castle. When you look at
recent crime statistics, however,
it becomes obvious why castles
have moats and drawbridges
and hot tar.
In Claremont, the Committee for Safe

and Healthy Housing has become a knight
in shining armor for residents, managers
and property owners in some of the 29
apartment communities throughout the
city.
At the urging of the committee and city
staff, in April 2009 the Claremont City
Council joined the Crime Free MultiHousing Program, which works with landlords, property owners and managers to
keep illegal activity out of rental property. Successfully utilized in over 2,000
cities nationwide, the program was modified and adapted to fit the needs of the
Claremont community.
We had an extreme situation at the
Claremont Cottages, says Jim Keith,
chairman of the Committee for Safe and
Healthy Housing. The complex was deteriorating. There were trashed units, graffiti and intimidating residents scaring people out of there. It was a bad situation and
drew attention to the need for this program.
The Committee for Safe and Healthy
Housing has spent a great deal of time
working on implementing the program.
Volunteers have attended training, held
regular meetings, met with property owners, managers and residents and developed a training manual to promote safe
and healthy living environments at apartment communities.
To date, five of the 29 complexes within
the city have been certified in the Crime
Free Multi-Housing Program: Claremont
Villas (100 S. Indian Hill Blvd.), Courier
Place (111 S. College Ave.), Plum Tree
(284 N. Carnegie Ave.), Access Village
(1730 N. Towne Ave.), and Claremont
Village Green (630 W. Bonita Ave,).
We had over 100 residents attend our
last meeting, says Elena Griza, manager
at the Claremont Village Green. They
were responsive and open to suggestions
on how to make the complex and their
units a safer place. The organizers were
surprised how involved and how seriously
the residents took it. Its working out very
well.
As part of its partnership with the committee, the Claremont Police Department
tracks apartment calls for service, providing reports to the apartment managers,
Police Commission and city council every
six months. Lieutenant Aaron Fate has
been designated the police liaison to the
program, providing crime data and analysis, attending semi-annual meetings with
apartment owners, managers and residents, and participating in annual trainings.
Lieutenant Fate has been involved
from day one, says Crime Free MultiHousing Coordinator Bob Kern. Hes
very hands-on,. Were lucky to have him.
With the help of program members and
Claremont police, many apartment complexes throughout the city have experi-

Elena Griza, manager of the Claremont Village Green senior apartments, listens to the concerns of 16-year resident Jim Holden
recently at the complex. A key ingredient of the Crime Free Multi-Housing Program is getting feedback from the tenants.
Ms. Griza shows an old COURIER clipping to Bob Kern at the Bonita Avenue complex recently. Mr. Kern helped Ms. Griza coordinate getting the complex certified
under the city of Claremonts Crime Free Multi-Housing Program. The copy of the

enced a decrease in crime. Both Plum

Tree and Claremont Village Green have
seen a 50 percent reduction in Part 1
crimes since the programs inception in
2009. Part I crimes are comprised of
crimes against persons (murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault) and crimes
against property (burglary, theft, auto theft
and arson).
Two broken security gates at an alleyway located on the 500 block of San Jose
Avenue had been an ongoing problem.
As a result, the alley had turned into a
dumping ground for discarded water
heaters, mattresses and stripped cars as
well as providing criminals with easy access to residents vehicles. After years of
trying to address the problem with the San
Jose Apartment Owners Association, it
was an officer-involved shooting in May
2014 that brought the passageway problem to the forefront.

The gates are now fixed, says Mr.
Keith. Thats big! Over 80 percent of
Part I crimes have involved autos in those
alleys. Hopefully, now that its no longer
open, residents are going to have a higher
quality of life and peace of mind in that
area.
Becoming a part of the Crime Free
Multi-Housing Program is a fairly simple
process. Mr. Kern and a member of the
Committee for Safe and Healthy Housing
walk the rental property, taking notes on
recommendations to improve the grounds
and the units.
We write up a report on things we
want done and give it to the manager, explains Mr. Kern. Once they go through
the training sessions and I inspect their
property with a list of items Im looking

for, they get a certificate and a sign that
they can post stating they are crime free.
Scheduled in the fall, the training sessions consist of two, four-hour meetings
held at the Hughes Center covering various topics including tenant hoarding, illegal smoking and loitering of non-residents
as intimidation. In years past, expert
speakers have included representatives
from the Claremont Police Department,
Code Enforcement, Los Angeles County
Fire Department, Housing Authority and
the Apartment Association for the Greater
Inland Empire and Fair Housing.
We also have a lawyer come in to talk
about how managers and owners can
cover themselves with new laws, says
Mr. Kern. Were serious about what
were doing here and were trying to make
things better.
In addition to the five certified crime
free complexes, four more complexes
have expressed interest in participating in
the Crime Free Multi-Housing Program.
With 20 complexes still left in limbo, Ms.
Giza doesnt quite understand the hesitation of managers and owners who have yet
to get with the program.
They are making a huge mistake, she
says. At least give it a try. Youll be surprised how efficient it is and how involved
the residents become. Imagine youre in a
small town with 300-400 people and we
get together to talk and come up with ideas
of what we can do better. As a manager,
you have to keep up with the laws and ordinances or it could become a liability.
The Crime Free Multi-Housing program is free and open to anyone. For information or to volunteer, contact Bob
Kern at (909) 399-5498 or by email to
bkern@ci.claremont.ca.us.

Chinese teen located in West Hollywood after regional search
Beijing teen missing

from a Claremont hotel
since Friday, February
13 was found safe and sound in
West Hollywood on Monday,
thanks to the keen eye of a concerned citizen.
According to Lieutenant Jason Walters,
16-year-old Jin Wuwei had taken a bus
from Claremont to Los Angeles on Friday
afternoon after telling his mother he was
going to tour the Claremont Colleges. Jin
was found sitting on a bench on the 8400
block of Sunset Boulevard when someone
recognized the teen from local news
broadcasts and contacted authorities.
This isnt the first time six-foot tall,
140-pound Jin had visited the Claremont
Colleges.
Both he and his mother had taken a
self-guided tour of the campuses Thursday, February 12, walking the grounds of
Pitzer College, Pomona College and
Claremont McKenna. The pair took photos around the Colleges and ate at a local
dining hall before heading to The Huntley
Bookstore.
A sales receipt from Huntley obtained
by the COURIER showed a number of
purchases by Jin, including deodorant,
toothpaste and a tooth brush, as well as a
roll of duct tape and a pink-colored pepper
spray key ring. According to Jins mother,
the teen had been purchasing items
throughout the trip, hiding them in his
backpack and acting "secretive."
The morning he vanished, Jin had used
his PayPal account around 3:30 a.m. to
purchase ExpressVPN, an online applica-
near the Colleges. When he didnt show

up at the meeting time, she began to worry.
I called his cell phone but he did not
answer, Ms. Jipeng explained to the
COURIER. He has never done anything
like this before. He is a quiet boy.
A Korean student near the Claremont
Library, who spoke some Chinese, helped
Ms. Jipeng contact the Claremont Police
Department and an investigation began
to locate the missing teen. Ms. Jipeng provided police with photos and a description
of her son, noting that he speaks fluent
English and does not have any family or
friends in the area.
According to Ms. Jipeng, her son left
behind most of his clothes and his three
beloved booksJane Eyre, To Kill A
Mockingbird and Peter Pan. He took with
him a laptop, $500 in cash as well as a
credit card, cell phone and charger.

Saturday, February 7
An unknown burglar broke into a home
on the 500 block of Eighth Street, leaving
the resident unsure of what had been
taken. The thief entered the dwelling
sometime between noon and 1:30 p.m. by
using an unidentified object to cut a screen
and shatter a rear door window on the
property. Once inside, the intruder ransacked several rooms and opened drawers but the homeowner initially found
nothing missing. Officers returned to the
home several days later after the victim
discovered $200 of miscellaneous property had indeed been taken by the prowler.

A Riverside man refused to take responsibility for a crime and instead
claimed it was something in the Claremont water. According to Lieutenant
Mike Ciszek, officers responded to the
200 block of Yale Avenue around 2:30
p.m. following a call of a man flailing his
arms and yelling F**k you! to people
outside a local eatery. Officers made contact with Brett Waylett, who exhibited
signs of being under the influence of a
controlled substance. The 41-year-old was
arrested near the Claremont Depot and
told officers, Tom must have put meth
inside my water. I didnt use any drugs

today where Id have to use my hands.

If youre not completely satisfied with
your Dominos Pizza experience, the
company promises to make it right or refund your money. But Agustin Lozano
wont be able to cash in. The High Desert
resident allegedly entered the Foothill
Boulevard location around 9:45 p.m. with
a raised fist and began challenging people
to fight. Officers arrived on scene and
made contact with the Victorville resident,
whose shirt was covered in vomit. Mr.
Lozano smelled of alcohol, couldnt complete a sentence and remained argumentative with police, at one point telling
them, You cant arrest me. Im not over
the .08 limit! Apparently, that rule doesnt apply when drunk in public. The 30year-old was arrested for being drunk and
disorderly.
Tuesday, February 10
There are endless news reports of inebriated people being hit by trains while
walking on railroad tracks. Two women
have Claremont police to thank for not
being among them. Officers stopped On-
tario resident Jaiden Vincent, 21, and 24year-old Rialto resident Vanessa Solis
after they failed to obey a posted traffic
sign preventing pedestrians from walking
along the railroad tracks to cross Indian
Hill Boulevard. The duo was spotted staggering down the street, looking for The
Press Restaurant around midnight. Unsure
of where they were, the ladies exhibited
sign of intoxication. Ontario or Upland,
its all the same, said Ms. Vincent. She
later told officers, Just go ahead and arrest me, I know youre going toIve had
too much to drink. As the ladies were unable to care for themselves, police did just
that. They were arrested for being drunk
and disorderly and later released.

A Claremont homeowner got a surprise
when she discovered a man standing 15
feet away from her in her living room.
The intruder had entered the home located
on the 900 block of Ottawa Drive through
a back door around 11 a.m. The victim
and the man made eye contact before he
fled int an awaiting white sedan parked in
the driveway. The homeowner told police
that just prior to her encounter, a woman
had knocked on the front door and she
didnt answer, presuming it was a solicitor. She knew something was wrong
when she heard the dog barking at the
back door as it creaked open. No one was
supposed to be home. The suspect is de-
scribed as a 30-year-old Hispanic male, 6

1 with long, black hair slicked into a bun.
Thursday, February 12
A Montclair man may be a thief, but
hes no liar. According to Lt. Ciszek, Harvey Perez had been panhandling near
Foothill and Wheeler when La Verne officers made contact with him around 1
p.m. After a search, police found four bottles of shampoo, seven boxes of Oil of
Olay moisturizer and other toiletry items
valued at $130. A Stater Bros. receipt
from the previous day was also found but
the items were not listed. The 31-year-old
man admitted that he had taken the products from the store and the officer contacted Claremont PD. Mr. Perez was
arrested for shoplifting.
Sunday, February 15
Allen Perez added another arrest to his
rap sheet, bringing the tally to 24 bookings in the city of Claremont since March
2013. Around 5 p.m., police responded to
reports of a man urinating on a pole near
Arrow and Indian Hill and spotted the 41year-old running down the street, swaying side-to-side. After performing a series
of tests, officers determined the Pomona
resident was intoxicated. Mr. Perez told
officers, Just take me to jail. He was arrested for being drunk and disorderly.

CITY NEWS
Sam Pedroza wants Claremonters to stand together
house divided against

itself cannot stand, and
City Councilman Sam
Pedroza cannot stand for a city
divided among its residents.
As Mr. Pedroza enters his third term

on Claremonts city council, one of his
primary aspirations remains to erase the
perceived boundaries that divide the
city and unite the community once and
for all.
Its definitely been my issue from
day-one that I want to get away from the
idea that theres a south Claremont and a
north Claremont, he says. I really believe in the idea that were one Claremont. I know every council member
says that, but we really do believe it.
But Mr. Pedroza wasnt always such a
civic-minded individual.
In fact, growing up in an unincorporated neighborhood within the San
Gabriel Valley left him with little knowledge of local government, or what a
community should be. This became evident after he was given an assignment in
college to report on the city in which he
lived. The Bassett resident didnt have
the first idea of where to begin.
I had no concept of what my city
was, said Mr. Pedroza. The biggest
city hall I knew was in West Covina, so I
went there thinking that was my city.
Thats how clueless I was.
The city councilman has come a long
way since then.
After attending Rio Hondo Community College and Mt. San Antonio College, Mr. Pedroza transferred to San
Diego State University where he earned
his Bachelor of Arts in Public Administration in 1992. That same year, he was
introduced to Julie, the girl who would
steal his heart and become his wife two
years later.
Mr. Pedroza continued his education,
earning his Master of Arts in Urban
Planning from UCLA. Upon graduation,
he worked in communications for the
water industry and served on staff with
then Assemblywoman Hilda L. Solis.
In 1996, the newlyweds were looking
for a community in which to lay down
their roots and purchased a Cinderella
home in the City of Trees.

Claremont Councilmember Sam Pedroza advocates for better public transportation including bringing the Metro Gold Line to Claremont. He is an avid cyclist who
often rides his bike to work in El Monte.
We were so happy being here, we

wanted to get involved, says the council member. He began dedicating his
time to Active Claremont, Claremont
Heritage, the Claremont Wildlands Conservancy as well as serving on the Claremont Community Services Commission
and chairing the Claremont Youth Sports
Facility Committee.
Following an unsuccessful run for city
council in 2005, Mr. Pedroza campaigned in 2007 and again in 2011. He
was the top vote-winner in both council

races.
I am proud of that, not because its
me, but because its a reflection more of
where the community was heading or
where the community was at, he says.
I didnt feel like I represented one particular group. I represented the values of
what people wanted Claremont to be.
In May 2011, Mr. Pedroza began
serving a one-year term as Claremonts
mayor, but his political careeralong
City embarks on winter pruning, tree-planting program
he citys contractor will be pruning shrubs and plants

in the Village right-of-ways this month. Pruning dead
foliage will improve plant health and control plant
size where space is limited.
Pruning in the winter helps ensure that plants produce
healthy leaves and flowers in the spring. Plants may look
distressed for about a month after pruning, but should improve rapidly after that, according to the city managers report.
The urban forest and mature tree canopy are one of Claremonts defining features and part of the communitys heritage.
Mature trees provide environmental benefits and have been
shown to increase home values. In order to maintain a vibrant
urban forest, the city conducts an annual reforestation program to plant new trees throughout the community. This year,
the city has a budget to plant 300 trees.
In an effort to ensure that the urban forest maintains a
healthy and consistent tree canopy, the city council recently

directed staff to implement a mandatory planting program.
Trees will be planted throughout the community and residents no longer have the option to decline a tree.
The city recently adopted an updated Designated Street
Tree List, which provides a wider variety of species options
for each street. A city arborist has reviewed planting sites and
has determined which designated species are appropriate for
each location.
Whenever possible, residents will be provided with options and may select the species to be planted in front of
their home from an approved tree list. The city will provide
water bags to help residents water their newly-planted trees,
along with care instructions.

with his lifealmost ended in August

when the avid cyclist collided with a
parked utility vehicle.
I was riding a brand-new road bike
going about 20 mph, he recalled. I
looked over my shoulder to go around
the truck but, when I looked back, it was
too late. I knew Id crashed, but I kept
trying to convince myself that I was
okay. I remember thinking how I couldnt remember things. I had to consciously make myself try to remember.
The then-mayor was flown to USC
Medical Center with a hairline fracture
to his vertebrae and a crushed nose. He
would spend the next several months in
surgery and recuperating from his injuries. He has since made a full recovery and credits his helmet with saving
his life.
One of my favorite pictures is a
photo we took on zip code day [9-17-11],
where a big chunk of the community
came out and we were all standing in
front of the train depot, Mr. Pedroza
said. That was the first day I came out
after my accident. Staff didnt expect me
to be there so they had a great big cutout
of me, and then Im there with my neck
brace and bandages on my nose. Im in
that photo twice, he says with a chuckle.
That picture shows me the sense of
community, how cool this city is. Im
very grateful to feel a part of that.
With his second term scheduled to
end in March 2015, Mr. Pedroza made
the decision to throw his hat in the ring
once again. As one of three council
members up for re-election with no opposition, he was reappointed to serve for
a third term.
Its an opportunity for the 46-year-old
councilmember to continue with projects that are dear to his heart.
Id really like to see the cycling opportunities move forward, he says. I
really want to see more kids on bikes,
but I also want to see a community thats
aware of more kids on bikes. Theres
still more work to be done.
Mr. Pedroza believes that the city
works best when it finds multiple benefits when addressing a challenge. Given
his professional background with the
water industry, new storm water collection regulations and the opportunities
that will come with compliance are appealing to him.
The benefit here is were going to
have better designed streets to collect
more storm water, so lets have the bike
lanes as well as native and drought-tolerant plantings. Were meeting the regulations of storm water runoff but, at the
same time, bringing more to the community. These multi-beneficial opportunities are out there. Its a matter of
getting the right players and various
groups all talking. Thats what we do
well in this city.
In keeping with his desire to unite
Claremont, Councilman Pedroza will
continue to try to meet the needs of the
community.
Theres always more that needs to
done, he says.

Claremont, as it was, as it is
by John Pixley
think of it nearly every time I pass

through the intersection of Bonita Avenue and Indian Hill Boulevard. Still,
after all this time, I think of the McIntyres
living in the big house on the southwest
corner.

It was before I knew them, when Donald came here

from Scotland with his wife Ann to teach geology at
Pomona College. It was before they lived just around
the corner on Twelfth Street, when their son Ewen
was my best friend growing up (what are the odds of
two boys with Cerebral Palsy living so close to each
other?). It was long before they, along with Ewen,
moved back to Scotland, where Donald died some
years later.
The house was brown then. At least it was brown
when I was a kid and heard that the McIntyres once
lived in it. Its gray now, but at least its still there.
The gas station isnt there. Thats right, there was a
gas station on the northeast corner. I remember it,
vaguely. I think it was a Shell gas station or was it
Phillips?
Lots has changed at the Indian Hill/Bonita intersection. The gas station was removed long before there
was a round-about there for a short time, as an experiment almost 20 years ago, an experiment that most
people (unfortunately, I think) would prefer to forget.
There was also a tiny locksmith shop on Bonita Avenue, just east of the gas station.
Of course, Bentleys Market was also there on
Bonita, across the street from the locksmith shop,
where Rhino Records is. Bentleys Market was always there; it was a shock when it wasnt. How could
I forget Ben Harperwho I now hear singing on the
radio and TV and who sells out Bridges Auditoriumand the other bag boys competing to see how
much they could stuff in the backpack on my wheelchair. I would shop at Bentleys on my own while I
lived briefly a couple blocks away on Bonita Avenue
a few doors down from, yes, where the McIntyres had
lived. Then again, Rhino Records has always been
there.
Yes, it was a shock when Bentleys Market was no
longer in the Village, but its still easy to see it there,
even as Rhino Records has always been on that
Bonita/Yale corner. Its not so easy to see the locksmith shop and the gas stationa gas station!on
Bonita in the Village.
Its even harder to see the market that was at the
south end of Yale Avenue in the Village, where the
Danson Restaurant has, again, always been. As I
barely remember, it was more like a butcher shop or,
am I dreaming, a feed store? And was there also a gas
stationanother gas stationthere?
Then there is the big office building along First
Street at the south end of the Village. Its getting almost as hard to imagine it not being there. Was there a
stink when this ugly brown monstrosity was added to
the Village? I cant imagine not, considering there
was an uproar over a Starbucks in the Village and the
stucco mall on Bonita where the gas station and locksmith shop were.
Not only was there a restaurant in a train car there
(Ewen and I thought it was a pretty big deal when our
mothers took us there for lunch) but, for quite a long
time after the office building was there, there was
only diagonal parking, no landscaping, in the center
median on First Street.
The new part of the Village already isnt so new.
It almost isnt an addition, almost isnt Village West,
anymore. Its just the Village, or part of the Village. It
is getting stranger and stranger to think that there
wasnt much more there along the west side of Indian
Hill Boulevard than a veterinarian office. And, again,
what controversy?
Claremont has changed for each of us, and each of
us has things in Claremont that we miss or dont miss.
Most of us probably dont miss the gas stations in the
Villageor may not believe they were therebut
what about the Book House, the Wild Iris and all the
other book stores that were in the Village? What
about Raynebeau Rags? Epicurious? And, not that
long ago, Casa Flores and Raku? I remember when
the COURIER office was on Harvard Avenue, south
of the post office; with editor Martin Weinberger

perched on a second floor loft, his eye, literally and
appropriately, on everything.
No doubt, in five years, I could be writing this
again, and places that have been here forever will no
longer be here, and the gas station and feed store will
be even more faded, crazier memories. Will Video
Paradiso end up closing like, as reported in the Los
Angeles Times recently, Vidiots in Santa Monica,
along with a bunch of other video stores? And with
music going digital, what about Rhino Records? Or
say it wont be so!the Folk Music Center?
Claremont has changed, and it will keep on changing. The news in these pages a couple weeks ago is
that it is changing now. Never mind that I dont recognize the area next to Padua Hills, with huge houses
crowding out the space. (There have been more and
more areas north of Base Line and even Foothill
Boulevard that I hardly recognize.) Never mind that, a
few years ago, it was proclaimed that Claremont was
built out. According to the recent article, there are
several housing projects going up within our borders.
And then there are the Colleges. Years ago, when I
knew people attending UCLA, there would be at least
one new building going up every time I visited the
campus. Never mind that I visited several times a
year. In recent years, the same is true at the Colleges
here. It seems that every few months or even weeks,
if not every time Im on the campuses, theres another
new building going up.
A year or two ago, it was Harvey Mudd College on
a building spree, with a gigantic crane looming over
Foothill Boulevard and a steady stream of stories
about copper wire being stolen. Now, Pomona College has a big new science center going up on Sixth
Street and, a couple blocks over, Claremont McKenna
McKenna College continues to go gangbusters with
its construction projects. Of course, all these follow
major make-overs and face-lifts at Scripps and Pitzer.
But the Colleges are still the Colleges, with the students still coming and still graduating, while on their
life paths. And although there are stores and restaurants I miss and others I wonder about in future years,
and although there are places I barely remember and
hardly recognize, Claremont is still Claremont, alive
in more than just our hearts.

Q: Have been wondering about the
proposed hospice house at the northeast corner of Mt. Carmel and Indian
Hill, north of Base Line. We went to a
big hoopla grand opening ceremony
there well over a year agomaybe
two years? The former residence had
been extensively remodeled and the
whole thing seemed so upbeat, such a
good idea. And now it just sits there
vacant. Maybe you could find out
what happened?
A: According to Paula Natale, director
of regulatory affairs for the Visiting
Nurses Assocationwho owns the
homethe reason for the delayed
opening of the hospice house is twofold. In January 2013, around the time
of the grand opening, a state bill was
passed changing the requirements for
licensing of long-term pallative care
residences in the state.
To meet these new requirements, according to Ms. Natale, an additional
$250,000 in expenditures is needed.
VNA is working closely with the Department of Public Health to fulfill the
licensing requirements and, at the same
time, working with a grant writer to secure funding. A fundraising campaign
has also been launched to help meet the
unexpected financial burden brought
on by passage of the legislation.
The home was purchased by VNA
in 2008. Since that time, approximately
$1.8 million has already been invested,
$80,000 of which came from generous
donations. According to Ms. Natale,
the goal is to open the Claremont Hospice House by the end of the year.
Charitable support is welcome. To contribute to the completion of this project

READERS COMMENTS
Economic inequality forum
Dear Editor:
The American Institute for Progressive Democracy (www.taipd.org) is a
think-tank based in Claremont that examines and does public education about
important issues of public policy that
have major effects on everyone.
In recent years, TAIPD has organized
forums open to the public on such topics as healthcare insurance, including
the implementation of the Affordable
Care Act (often referred to as Obamacare), water scarcity, and on the impact of the Supreme Courts Citizens
United decision on the electoral process
in the US. TAIPD also publishes an online quarterly journal entitled Progressive Democracy with articles dealing
with an array of public policy issues.
TAIPD is now planning a two-part
public forum focusing on the issue of
economic inequality in America. By all
accounts, the disparity in both income
and wealth between the richest households in the US and the vast majority of
the American people has been getting
worse and worse. This trend began in
the mid-1970s, but has accelerated in
the last decade. There is now a great
deal of debate across the political spectrum about why this is occurring and
what can be done to reverse this trend.
There is growing evidence that while
the economic productivity of American
workers has been increasing steadily in
the last 40 years, the wages being paid
to these workers has stagnated, while
corporate profitsespecially of the
largest firms and in the financial sectorhave been going up rapidly. More-
over, this situation has translated into

extraordinary increases in the income
and wealth of the richest one percent,
while the economic welfare of the 99
percent has deteriorated.
Most of those injured are white, but
certain groups have disproportionately
felt the burden of these trends. These
are especially the Latino, African
American and Native American communities, as well as single mothers in
all communities. So it seemed timely to
organize public forums to explore these
problems and what might be done to reduce inequality.
The forum will be presented in two
sessions on March 3 and March 31,
both at 7:30 p.m. in the Rose Hills Theater at Pomona College in Claremont.
On March 3, the focus will be Economic Inequality in America: Causes,
Consequences and Remedies. Four nationally-known experts will explore different aspects of this problem, why it is
occurring and possible solutions, and

then respond to questions from the audience.
On March 31, the focus will be Economic Inequality in America: The Impact on Diverse Communities. At this
session, experts and activists from the
Latino, African American and Native
American communities, plus a scholar
who focuses on the plight of women
and families across America, will examine the impact of this growing inequality on these groups and what can
be done to improve their situations.
Again, there will be ample time for
questions, answers and discussion.
These events are free and open to the
public. We urge everyone who is concerned about economic inequality to
come, learn more and discuss possible
remedies. Refreshments will be served.

Seeing God, and ourselves, in nature

by Lara Martin, Pastor, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church
Inter-Faithfully SPEAKING
Growing up on the plains of eastern

South Dakota meant that my earliest
experiences with nature included picking strawberries in our family garden,
playing hide-and-seek in the corn
fields, camping under a starlit sky and,
of course, getting eaten alive by mosquitos!
There were the long winter months
growing up, when natures wonders included blustering winds, mounds of
snow, patches of ice and freakishly cold
temperatures. In full disclosure, I am
much less enthralled by these more
frigid manifestations of nature. Yes it is
true, I have become that California girl
who feels a sudden urge to go to the
beach whenever my family in the midwest is hit with a snowstorm! Though I
detest actually being in cold weather,
playing in the snow or falling on the
ice, still I cannot deny the beauty of
Gods creation even in the delicate
falling snowflake or the mighty wind of
a blustering blizzard.
I prefer to see snow on the mountaintops while enjoying the comforts of 60
to 70 degree temperatures like we have
here in Claremont. Now that Im a California girl at heart, my favorite encounters with nature include hiking in
the hills and traveling less than an hour
to one of the many beautiful beaches. I
love the cool waters splashing over my
feet as I walk along the beautiful shores
of the vast southern California coastline.
There is something captivating and
spiritual about the constant rush of the
waves along the ever-changing sands of
the shoreline. For me, it is a feeling of
relief as the waves draw me into the
vastness of creation. They remind me
that whatever my worries of the present
moment are, they too shall pass, just as
the next wave comes and goes. It gives
me perspective of my place in this
world.
This vastness of the universe gives
testimony to God as Creator. The Biblical psalmist wrote, When I look at
your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars that you have
established, what are human beings that
you are mindful of them, mortals that
you care for them (Psalm 8:3,4).
Being in nature, particularly at the
waters edge, humbles me to the presence of divine that surrounds and fills
me.
In a world and life that is otherwise
filled with busyness, schedules and im-
ature has always been

enthralling to me.
Whether it is the rushing waves of the ocean or the
gentle breeze of the wind or
the expansiveness of the starlit
sky, nature has a way of centering me in the presence of God.
portant work in ministry, nature has a

way of drawing me back to the core of
who I am and, more importantly, who I
am not in the grand scheme of life.
It is easy to get caught up in the important work of ministry, family and
community, and the many roles that life
places on mewife, stepmother,
daughter, friend, neighbor, pastor, colleague and even a citizen. All of this
work and these roles are important and
meaningful. Just as all the work that
you do and the roles you fill are important.
Yet, it is important to not lose sight
of our core, which I have learned goes
far deeper than any position we hold or
work that we do. The core of who we
are centers on the truth that we are all
beloved children of God. We, as humans, are created in Gods image, each
with unique gifts and talents. The intricate detail of the snowflake, the mightiness of a rushing wave and the
immaculate color of the sunset all serve
to remind us of the expansiveness and
creativity of our creating God.
Being in nature can remind us of the
majesty of God and Gods beloved creation. It can also remind us of who God
has created us to be, as beloved children with whom God is well pleased.
God is pleased with us not because
of anything we do or dont do, not be-
cause of any role we fill or dont fill,

but simply because of who we are, or
better stated, who God has created us to
be. Just as God has created the birds of
the air or the waters of the sea, so God
has created you and me with intentionality and purpose. We each have unique
gifts and talents that, when used as God
intends, contribute to the betterment
and beauty of humanity and creation.
Thanks be to God for the beauty of
the snowflake, the majesty of the crashing waves, and the splendor of humanity created in Gods image!
Lara Martin has been pastor at Good
Shepherd Lutheran Church in Claremont
since July of 2014. Pastor Lara lives
with her husband Rene in Pomona.

until last year. Her office was in San
Dimas, where she volunteered on many
boards and made many friends. She
was an active member of Pilgrim Congregational Church in Pomona.

Marilyn was an avid reader and

country, and was part of The Greatest
Generation.
She was preceded in death by her
husband Paul Bill Angelo, her sister
Edith Allene and her brother Stanford.

CHS works miracles to share story of Helen Keller
ext week, the Claremont High

School Theatre Department will
dramatize one of the most remarkable breakthroughs in history.
The students will present William Gibsons The

Miracle Worker, the true-life account of one
womans effort to free a deaf, blind and mute child
from the shackles of ignorance and rage. The play,
which is based on Helen Kellers autobiography The
Story of My Life, will be performed on February 26,
27 and 28 at 7:30 p.m.
Sophomore Sophie Willard-Van Sistine plays
Helen Keller, a 6-year-old whose parents, hamstrung
by pity and helpless in the face of their daughters disabilities, have allowed her to run wild.
Senior Madison Dahm plays Anne Sullivan, a 20year-old teacher determined to save the nearly feral
child from being institutionalized. As Anne tells
Helens father, Captain Keller, played with convincing bluster by senior Matt Tornero, The sun wont
rise and set for her all her life, and every day youre
telling her it will. What you and your pity do will destroy her.
Both protagonists have undertaken hugely physical
roles, most evident in the famous breakfast table
scene in which Helen and Anne engage in a take-noprisoners battle over table manners. Chairs are thrown
and faces are slapped. Sophie notes that she and
Madison must literally roll with the punches if any element of their highly choreographed struggle goes
amiss. Luckily, the girls have experience working together as part of CHSs improv-rich Comedy Sportz
Team.
While Helen uses her vocal cords to express emotions ranging from excitement to wonderment, she
has only one line in the play. In order to pull it off, Sophie has had to work with a lot of sensory things
taste, smell and touch.
As if its not tough enough to convey emotions
ranging from rage to understanding to happiness without speaking, the young actress faces another challenge. Because Sophie is nearly as tall as Madison,
guest director Signe ORourke devised a way to emphasize the physical difference between woman and
child. Sophie spends much of the play on her knees,
which are protected by kneepads.
Helens transformation is a gripping one, but the
importance of Ms. Sullivans role in the play cannot
be over-emphasized, according to Ms. ORourke.
Everyone thinks the Miracle Worker is about
Helen Keller, she said. The miracle worker is not
Helen. The miracle worker is Annie. Her struggle is
quite beautiful. Its her play.
Ms. ORourke taught theater at St. Lucys Priory
High School for 22 years and still directs theater productions at Damien High School. She is hugely impressed by Madison, who she calls a little Meryl
Streep. It is wonderful to see the heart Madison
brings to her role as well as the authentic brogue she

Anne Sullivan (played by Madison Dahm), center, asks the rest of the family to leave the breakfast table as Helen Keller (Sophie Willard-Van Sistine) throws a fit during rehearsal of The Miracle Worker at Claremont High
School. Also on the set are from left, James Keller (played by Ethan Kayda), Captain Keller (played by Matt
Tornero) and Kate Keller (played by Larissa Pullen).
In an early scene from The
Miracle Worker, Anne Sullivan
attempts to get Helen Keller to
learn a new word with sign language as the Claremont High
School Theatre gets ready for
their upcoming production of
the play.
has cultivated for Anne, who is the daughter of Irish

immigrants.
Wearing Annes trademark dark glasses, which protect the teachers nearly blind eyes from the light,
Madison embodies a driven woman who knows she
must push Helen to her limits in order to save her. As
Anne writes in her diary, My greatest challenge is
how to discipline her without breaking her spirit.
Madison said she is delighting in her first chance to

play a role based on a real person. She has also found
value in working with a director besides CHS Theatre
Director Krista Elhai, who among other endeavors is
busy preparing students for an upcoming thespian
championship.
Its great because over the years, Ill be working

with lots of different people, Madison, who plans to

pursue a career in theater, said. Signe really stresses
working on character, reminding us what our emotional state should be.
Ms. ORourke has come across many talented
young actors in her years as a teacher. Still, she is
amazed at the students in Ms. Elhais program.
The play also features a strong performance from
senior Larissa Pullen as Mrs. Keller, who teeters between hope and despair as she fights for the future of
a child she loves.
Ms. ORourke said it has been remarkably easy
drawing good characterizations from the CHS Thespians, something she attributes to Ms. Elhai.
I dont know what kind of magic she casts over
students. Their commitment is extraordinary. Ms.
ORourke said. I said, Are you guys being paid?
Whats the deal? They take what they do very seriously. Im knocked out by these kids.
Anyone who sees the CHS production of The Miracle Worker is sure to be inspired by a story of uncommon determination. As Helen Keller herself said,
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of
overcoming.

Through February 22: Buddy: The Buddy Holly
Story has had audiences on their feet in every corner
of the globe and now The Worlds Most Successful
Rock n Roll Musical is back and ready to explode
onto the Candlelight Pavilion stage in a toe-tapping,
hand-clapping extravaganza. Buddy is the story of
Buddy Holly, who changed the face of popular music
over 55 years ago. The musical recounts the last few
years of Buddy Hollys life and how he and his highschool friends, The Crickets, turned country music upside down and created a unique-style of sound which
some called the devils music. From Buddys frustrations at Decca Records to his success at the Apollo
Theatre, Buddy artistically portrays the music and the
man who forever changed the nation. It recreates his
final moments up until his tragic death and celebrates
one of the most exciting concerts of all time. Buddy
celebrates the music of Buddy Holly with some of his
greatest hits including Peggy Sue, Thatll Be the
Day, Everyday and Raining in my Heart.
February 27 through April 4: A scheming producer
and his mousy accountant aim to produce the biggest
flop on Broadway in Mel Brooks laugh-out-loud spectacle. Max Bialystock, a down-on-his-luck Broadway
producer, and his mild-mannered accountant, Leo
Bloom, come up with a scheme to produce the most
notorious flop in history, thereby bilking their backers
(all little old ladies) out of millions of dollars. At the
core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become
friends. In 2001, The Producers was the winner of 12
Tony Awards, the most in Broadway history. With a
truly hysterical book co-written by Mel Brooks and
Thomas Meehan and music and lyrics by Mr. Brooks,
The Producers skewers Broadway traditions and takes
no prisoners as it proudly proclaims itself an equal opportunity offender! Contains adult language and suggestive humor.

New football coach has strong connections to CHS
laremont High School Principal

Brett OConnor announced this
month that the school had hired
veteran defensive coordinator Coco Jarin
as the next head varsity football coach. Mr.
Jarin, who was assistant head coach and
defensive coordinator for the Pack last season, replaces Mike Collins, who led the
team for 20 seasons.
I am blessed to have worked with so many great

coaches and mentors over the years, he said while sitting on a bench outside the CHS weight room on
Wednesday afternoon.
Blessed indeed as he was defensive coordinator at
Sweetwater High School in the midSPORTING
eighties when the team had a 38-game
LIFE
winning streak, while ranked number
one in California and number two nationwide.
Good fortune continued when he moved to Mount
San Antonio College in 1997, the year the Mounties
took their first national title.
Over the years he has coached at the University of La
Verne and Claremont McKenna College and served as
the freshman coach at CHS. Both of his sons, Joshua
who graduated in 2000, and Jonathan in 2007, played
football for the Pack, making the head coach job even
sweeter.
Now I finally get to run my own program, which is
a blessing, he said.
Mr. Jarin uses the words fortunate and blessed quite a
bit in conversation.
This year has been good for our family, because the
birth of our granddaughter Jade and because I got the
head coach job, he said. Jades French middle name

Coco Jarin has been named the new head coach of the Claremont High School varsity football program. He
brings 32 years of experience to the job including being defensive coordinator for top high school and collegiate programs. ATLEFT, Coach Jarin gives some pointers to Alex Davis recently at CHS. Mr. Davis, who graduated in 2014, was the center on last years team and was seeking advice for an upcoming college tryout.
roughly translates to on point, which has become a

motto for Mr. Jarin.
Were on point every day, he said. The boys are in
the weight room getting stronger and building the camaraderie to be a better team. Come next season, our
game needs to be on point.
Coming on the heels of Mr. Collins, who had such a
long tenure in Claremont, Mr. Jarin is aware of high expectations.
I want to add to the tradition here at Claremont and
to truly create a better version of the student athlete,
coaching staff and Wolfpack family, he said.
He launched the first-ever study hall for players who
have a 2.4 GPA or lower. Those players must study for
the first 45 minutes of practice, which will motivate
some to raise their grades because he says, If you are
not at practice, you are not going to start.
Mr. Jarin says he was fortunate to retain Mr. Collins
staff including Milo Epling who will become assistant
head coach and defensive coordinator and Ryan Cam-
puzano who will be offensive coordinator.

Mr. Jarin has lived in Claremont for 19 years with his
wife Robin where they raised their two boys.
The Wolfpack had a winning season last year but the
team struggled a bit before that. Perhaps a hard program
to inherit but it seems the school has chosen a good
leader.

CMC talk addresses challenge of cyber-security,

potential of cyber-war
he United States is vulnerable to cyber-attacks

of every ilk, from theft
to all-out war. This was the
message delivered Tuesday
evening at Claremont
McKennas Athenaeum by
Richard Clarke, CEO of the
Good Harbor Security Risk
Management company.
Mr. Clarke, whose talk was called

Cybersecurity in 2015: from Theft to
Destruction, brings a lot of experience
to bear on the subject. Among his accomplishments are a decade as a White
House official, during which time he
counseled three consecutive presidents
on national security in the information
age.
The ways corporate and governmental
security can be breached via computer
are myriad, and their execution technical. Mr. Clarke sought to simplify things
by breaking down the four main types of
digital attacks. They can be remembered
via the acronym CHEW, which stands
for cyber-crime, cyber-hacktivism, cyber-espionage and cyber-war.
Cyber-crime represents basic theft, in
which an individual or individuals reach
into peoples accounts and remove
money, and is a pretty well-known problem. Cyber-hacktivism is when a group,
unhappy with the actions of another
group, hacks into their system in order to
embarrass or sabotage them.
In a way, the Sony Pictures Entertainment Hack, which took place last November, is a case of cyber-hacktivism,
according to Mr. Clarke. The North Korean government didnt want The Interview, a comedy about a plot to assassinate the countrys leader Kim Jong-un,
to be released. Which, having seen the
movie, I understand, Mr. Clarke joked.

Author and cyber-security expert Richard Clarke delivers a speech Tuesday
evening as part of the ongoing speaker series at Claremont McKenna Colleges
Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum. Mr. Clarke, who spent 30 years working for the
United States government, talked about the growing threat that hackers pose to
both the American government and US corporations.
So the government took action, releasing

confidential data about the entertainment
giant, including damning personal email
exchanges. The fall-out resulted in the
firing of Sony co-chair Amy Pascal.
While the problem of cyber-crime is
well-known, Mr. Clarke seeks to spread
awareness of the staggering cost of cyber-espionage. It is a form of attack in
which an individual or individuals
reaches into the data systems of a company and uses vital information for personal gain. It is a problem so prevalent
that FBI Director Robert Mueller has
said, There are only two types of companies: Those that have been hacked and
those that will be.
In many cases, cyber-espionage is
perpetrated by nations bent on economic
dominance. China is one of the main

culprits, according to Mr. Clarke. The
Chinese government regularly eschews
costly research and development, instead
stealing the intellectual property of US
corporations and handing it to Chinese
companies.
He cited as an example Cisco Systems, which was once the worlds prime
manufacturer of networking equipment.
Cisco was hacked by the Chinese government and the next thing you know, a
company called Wuwei was offering
products eerily similar to those manufactured by Cisco. While Cisco is still the
dominant networking company in the
United States, Wuwei now dominates
the European and Asian markets.
Such brazen digital coups result in the
loss of billions of dollars and thousands
of jobs each year, Mr. Clarke said. And
yet the destructive capabilities of cyberespionage are trumped by those of cyber-war.
Cyber-war, Mr. Clarke explained, is
when computer programming is used to
cause physical mayhem. For example,
China and Russia have already hacked
into the US power grid. Should these
countries ever wish to attack the United
States, they could act quickly, not just
shutting down power temporarily but
destroying generators and transistors. It
could take months to power back up,
Mr. Clarke said, noting that People
dont just keep extra generators around.
Cyber-war isnt just a hypothetical.
The first salvos having already been
fired. Take a recent exchange between
the US and Iranian governments.
In 2010, President Obama ordered a
sophisticated cyber-attack against the
computer systems running Irans nuclear
enrichment facilities. The Iranians were
using centrifuges to purify uranium,

hoping to harvest bomb-grade quantities
of the radioactive element. A computer
worm called Stuxnet was released, causing the centrifuges to spin in such a way
that they exploded. It was a devastating
blow to the countrys nuclear program.
The Iranian government responded in
2012 by attacking the largest of United
States banks in successive waves. Millions of customers of companies like
Wells Fargo and Bank of America found
themselves unable to bank online. Iran
sent a clear message, Mr. Clarke said: If
you mess with us, we will reach into the
very heart of your financial system and
wreak havoc.
Cyber-security is tricky because it
represents what Mr. Clarke calls offense preference. It costs thousands of
times more money to defend your resources from a digital attack than to perpetrate one. Many companies have
sprung up with the goal of providing cyber-security to companies. Their wares,
however, constitute little more than
Band-Aid measures that can temporarily
deter hacking before a workaround is
developed.
Another troubling factor is that the
skill-sets needed for a cyber-attack are
spreading much faster than the analog
danger of nuclear proliferation. It begs
the question: Will terrorist groups soon
be able to launch an all-out cyber-war?
As if the United States needs one
more challenge in the area of cyber-security, the government is faced with a
tough sales pitch. In light of Edward
Snowdens revelations that the National
Security Agency was spying en masse
on the activities of US citizens, many
Americans mistrust the NSA. And yet,
the NSA is the organization that will be
utilized in helping to prevent and
counter cyber-attacks. In order to receive
citizen support, the agency would need
to engage in a public relations makeover
and would have to be very transparent
in its efforts, Mr. Clarke said.
Mr. Clarke is a realist, but he is not a
pessimist. He sees the coming years not
just as a time of threat but also as an era
of opportunity. Now is the chance for
policy-makers to create new regulations
addressing cyber-security. It is an endeavor that will have to be undertaken
on an international scale, given the fact
that the virtual world knows no boundaries.
We are still using basically the same
form of Internet first utilized in the
1980s, he emphasized. Mr. Clarke said it
is time for sharp young people like the
students at CMC to get to work on new
technology, honing new and better ways
of encryption and even changing the
face of the Internet.

and interest conveyed to and now held by it under
said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said
County and State described as: AS MORE FULLY
DESCRIBED ON SAID DEED OF TRUST The
street address and other common designation, if
any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 22903 RIO LOBOS ROAD DIAMOND BAR, CA 91765-0000 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
held, but without covenant or warranty, express or
implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or
encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by
said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal
sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust.
The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at
the time of the initial publication of the Notice of
Sale is: $679,885.16 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. The beneficiary
under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and
delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration
of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election
to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real
property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL
BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this
property lien, you should understand that there are
risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You
will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.
Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not
automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that
the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If
you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or
may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to
the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive
clear title to the property. You are encouraged to
investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by
contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you
a fee for this information. If you consult either of
these resources, you should be aware that the same
lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed
of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY
OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of
sale may be postponed one or more times by the
mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant
to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The
law requires that information about trustee sale
postponements be made available to you and to the
public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.
If you wish to learn whether your sale date has
been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled
time and date for the sale of this property, you may
call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site
WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file
number assigned to this case 013220-CA. 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 SALES INFORMATION: (844) 477-7869

DETAILED SUMMARY OF MATTER TO BE VALIDATED:
California Municipal Finance Authority (``the Authority``) has established the Property Assessed Clean Energy (``PACE``) Program
(the ``CMFA PACE Program``). The Authority
seeks to implement the CMFA PACE Program in
31 counties and 42 cities throughout California to
encourage and facilitate the installation of distributed generation renewable energy sources, energy
and water efficiency improvements, seismic
stengthening improvements and/or electric vehicle
charging infrastructure by residential and non-residential property owners, which will save participating property owners money while conserving
rescurces and reducing carbon emissions, all in furtherance of the Legislature's goals as set forth in
California Streets & Highways Code Section
5898.10 et seq.
The Authority seeks to validate all
proceedings, actions, liens and contracts connected
with the CMFA PACE Program, and to obtain an
order from the Superior Court that the proceedings,
actions, liens and contracts related to the CMFA
PACE Program are valid, legal and binding and are
in conformity with the applicable provisions of all
laws and enactments at any time in force or controlling upon such proceedings, including but not
limited to, the provisions of Article XIII D of the
California Constitution, the due process and contract clauses of the Constitution of the United
States, and their equivalent clauses in the California
Constitution.
The Plaintiff has filed a civil complaint against you. If you wish to contest the legality or validity of the matter that is the subject of this
lawsuit, you must appear and file with the Court a
written pleading in response to the complaint not
later than April 6, 2015. Your pleading must be in
the form required by the California Rules of Court.
Your original pleading must be filed in this Court
with proper filing fees and proof that a copy thereof
was served on Plaintiff's attorneys.
Unless you so respond, your default
will be entered upon Plaintiff's application, and this
Court may enter a judgment against you for the relief demanded in the complaint. Persons who contest the legality or validity of the matters which are
the subject of this lawsuit will not be subject to
punitive action, such as wage garnishment or
seizure of their real or personal property.
YOU MAY SEEK THE ADVICE
OF AN ATTORNEY IN ANY MATTER CONNECTED WITH THE COMPLAINT OR THIS
SUMMONS. IF SO, YOU SHOULD DO SO
PROMPTLY SO THAT YOUR WRITTEN RESPONSE, IF ANY, MAY BE FILED ON TIME.

therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN
SAID DEED OF TRUST AND ALL RELATED
LOAN DOCUMENTS 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: 465 CONVERSE AVE, CLAREMONT,
CA 91711 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 or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to
pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s)
secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest
thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if
any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee
and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust.
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 Trustee`s Sale is estimated to be
$82,673.81 (Estimated). However, prepayment
premiums, accrued interest and advances will
increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary`s
bid at said sale may include all or part of said
amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier`s 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 in Section
5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other
such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee.
In the event tender other than cash is accepted,
the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the
Trustee`s Deed Upon Sale until 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 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. 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 Priority Posting and Publishing at

busy agent, he made us feel like we were his only clients. It is obvious that
Mason takes pride in his work and helped us through what has usually
been a very stressful process. We were always informed, updated and met
personally when needed. There was never pressure, unnecessary stress or
unanswered questions. I will recommend everyone I know to Mason!
