Dear Editor: We now have a brief opportunity to prevent another fruitless and probably harmful military intervention in a conflict that does not threaten our national security. I urge all of you who want to support President Obamas reluctance to attack Syria to contact Senator Boxer, Senator Feinstein and Representative Chu this week. There are many ways we can try to help the Syrian people with humanitarian relief and diplomatic reconciliation. As for the option of inflicting more violence there, sometimes the best response is Dont do something, just stand there.

Dear Editor: Okay, Claremont parents, now that school has started, lets review some traffic rules for you to keep in mind as you drop off your children in the mornings. We are fortunate that Claremont is a safe community, which makes people feel safe enough to exercise by running and walking around town. These people count as part of the traffic flow, and should be accorded their proper right of way. The entrances and exits to the high school parking lot are difficult to negotiate during the drop-off time in the morning. However, right-of-way rules must still be observed. Assistant Principal Patterson took on the task to get watch for pedestrians signs posted for both entering and exiting traffic on Oxford Avenue to help remind drivers of this after he watched me nearly get hit last spring when I was running south on the Oxford sidewalk. Thank you, Mr. Patterson! This morning, while a car exited the parking lot and one waited to enter from northbound Oxford, both waited, safely and correctly, for me to cross the opening. The driver of a white SUV waiting to enter from southbound Oxford also saw me as I passed in front of the first car figured this was her ideal opening and accelerated to cut me off. When I looked her in the eye and gestured for her to stop, she did, but was clearly angry. I run defensively, so I watch drivers faces to try to anticipate what they will do, and she had looked at me before she started her turn, so she knew I was there. Come on, people! I promise that if you wait the couple of seconds it takes a pedestrian to clear your lane, it will not make you late for work, nor will it make your child late for school. To quote the DMV code The law states that drivers must always yield the right-ofway to a pedestrian. You are legally obligated to yield. Moreover, it is the safe thing to do. If you hit me, the worst I can do to your car is dent some metal or break a headlight, but the damage you do to me could be irreparable. Take a deep, calming breath, remember
Dear Editor: Kudos on your new Claremont Kids section! What a fantastic and creative way to connect with kids in Claremontand inspire a love of journalism at an early age. I grew up in Claremont, and my first professional writing credit was with the COURIER. Later, as a student at Pitzer College, I was an editor at The Collage magazine. After a stint in New Yorks publication world, I went on to earn a masters degree in journalism at USC, and achieve my childhood dream of becoming a reporter and editor for the Los Angeles Times. It all started in Claremont! Now, living back in Claremont as a stayat-home mother and freelance writer and editor, I am excited for my child and others to get their first break at the COURIER. Congratulations to Sycamore student Mae Key-Ketter for her well-written, fun article about Hair of the Dog (and to El Roble student Nick Wright for his clear, telling photos). Its a compelling start to the new kids
section. Keep up the great work. I look forward to reading more!

Insanity
Dear Editor: Is John Boehner insane or has he just been bought off with some promise of future compromise? He says hell back Obama on Syria, a place we definitely don't belong in. Have we learned nothing from Iraq, Afghanistan and Egypt? The only business we have in the Middle East is oil; is that what this is really all about? The only oil that Syria has is that which some day may be pumped through it on the way to the Mediterranean Sea. For Gods sake, lets get out of this mess before we ever get in.

COURIER photos/Peter Weinberger The ninth and last hole at the Claremont Golf Course allows golfers a birds eye view of the course. They must also tee off from the top of a hill and walk down to the green. The future of the citys only golf course remains uncertain as its owners, The Claremont Colleges, assert that keeping course open has become a financial hardship in recent years.
Colleges say finances may force closure of golf course
espite recent decline in care of the driving range, the Claremont Golf Course remains a welcome 9-holed outlet for Claremont residents and students. But the local fairways and putting greens may soon be a thing of the past.
Rumors of the potential closure began circulating in recent weeks after several instructors alleged they were told to stop booking golf classes in the latter part of this year. In phone calls with the COURIER, however, Consortium board members and Mr. Bishop denied the potential closure. The golf course has not been a topic for discussion at the CUC Board, said Bonnie Clemens, secretary to the Board of Overseers and assistant to the CEO of the Consortium.

Four-hour search for suspect leads to arrest
fter a 4-hour game of hide-andseek with law enforcement, 43-year-old Thomas French of Claremont was arrested on Wednesday, September 4 for a series of crimes that including setting a car on fire.
On Tuesday evening, Claremont police were contacted by the Monrovia Police Department to inform them that Mr. French, who police report has a history of violent crime, was wanted on charges of domestic violence and for torching his girlfriends car, according to Claremont Detective Robert Ewing. Around 9:15 a.m. the following morning, Det. Ewing spotted Mr. French exiting the 210 freeway at Towne. Upon seeing the detective, however, Mr. French sped off to an adjacent neighborhood off Scripps Drive, ditched his car in a random driveway on Wheaton Avenue and took off on foot. A resident in the 900 block of Occidental Drive was taking out his trash that morning and saw Mr. French crouching in the bushes near his home. By the time police arrived a moment later, however, the man had taken off once more. Several more residents reported seeing him jumping into backyards off Occidental, Lake Forest Drive and Chapman Road. After a perimeter was set up, San Bernardino County Sheriffs arrived with a helicopter, along with the Rialto Police with their K-9 unit in tow to assist local police. Claremonts K-9 is specifically trained as a drug dog not necessarily for searches. Officers went door-to-door to try to locate the suspect, when undercover cops near Mr. Frenchs home reported that he had made it back to his residence off Arrow Highway and Merrywood. He was arrested without further incident. His bail is set at $1,080,000.

In a blocked off area around Lake Forest Drive, police literally went door-to-door, searching the front and back of each home looking for the suspect. He was later captured at his home on Arrow Highway and Merrywood in Claremont. BELOW, an officer checks under the cover of a residents car to see if the suspect, Thomas French of Claremont, was hiding in the car.
Thursday, August 29 Wolfes Market was targeted in a latenight burglary, the second for the local grocery store in the past 8 months. Shortly before midnight, an unidentified burglar threw a rock through a side window to gain entry to the business, according to Detective Rick Varney. Once inside the building, it appears the burglar unsuccessfully attempted to take files from an office filing cabinet. Nothing appears to be missing. Follow-up investigation is being conducted. A white late 1990s Chevrolet Tahoe was spotted on the store surveillance around the time of the incident, but police are unsure if the vehicle is connected with the crime. **** Starbucks employees were sent into a spin when an unhappy customer reportedly began yelling uncontrollably over the size of his water cup. The man was taken for a mental evaluation.
POLICE BLOTTER
Friday, August 30 An attempt to sneak off undetected was foiled before it started. A man was speeding down Mt. Baldy Road around 5 a.m. on Friday night, when he reportedly slammed into fencing near the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park. With the car apparently inoperable, the man was then seen pushing his vehicle away from the scene of the accident, according to police reports. Unfortunately for him, several residents had called police regarding his speeding and several more had seen the accident and were able to identify the man. Police are conducting follow-up. Saturday, August 31 A resident in the 400 block of Marygrove Road returned home from vacation on Saturday to find they had received an unexpected visit while they were away. The home, entered through a locked rear window, was found ransacked and $80

EDUCATION
Llanusa aims for another term on CUSD school board
lthough Steven Llanusa has served on the Claremont Unified School District Board of Education since 2005, he doesnt feel his work is done so he will be throwing his hat into the ring once more in the November 5 local and municipal election
Mr. Llanusa is the sole incumbent among 5 candidates vying for 3 seats. Mr. Llanusa is no stranger to stiff competition, having won his first bid for the board in a race with 6 candidates. As a result, he isnt letting any grass grow under his feet. He has created a website, www.electllanusa.com, and will launch his campaign with a kickoff party this Sunday, September 8 at 2 p.m. at the Claremont Forum, located at 586 W. First St. in Claremont. For information on the event, which will include refreshments and kids activities, call 215-1290. Along with his previous board service, Mr. Llanusas qualifications for the job include experience in education and as a CUSD parent. He is a sixth grade teacher and technology coordinator at Gerald Smith Elementary in Bloomington, a San Bernardino County magnet school with an emphasis on science. And, along with his husband, Claremont pediatrician Glenn Miya, he has 3 sonsAlex, Aaron and Ericwho attended Condit Elementary, El Roble Intermediate and Claremont High School. An admitted extrovert, Mr. Llanusa is also a member of a number of community organizations, including the UCLA alumni board and the Claraboya Homeowners Association, and is an active supporter of the Inland Valley Repertory Theater. Mr. Llanusa recently took time from his busy schedule to speak with the COURIER about his priorities for the next few years, should he be elected to another term on the board. He feels it is time for the board to reevaluate attendance boundaries for Claremont elementary schools, creating them as neighborhood boundaries. Anyone who has looked at the attendance boundaries has to wonder why it looks like a jigsaw puzzle that has pieces of different schools attendance areas completely separated from the neighborhood surrounding the schools, he explained. Currently, families have to submit paperwork to attend the elementary school closest to their homeits extra effort for the families and extra paperwork for the district. And families [experience] an uneasiness that they might get bumped from their neighborhood school, depending on enrollment. Mr. Llanusa emphasized that families should still be able to pursue intradistrict transfers, a choice he values. He feels redrawing the boundaries, how-
ever, would reduce the number of unnecessary transfers. The board has discussed this issue in the past, Mr. Llanusa said, but never pursued it because there were bigger fish to fry. Now that CUSD is financially healthier, however, he feels the board has the luxury to address such deCUSD ELECTION tails. Under Governor Jerry Browns new local control funding formula, Claremont schools stand to receive a bit more in funding this year, according to CUSD Superintendent of Business Services Lisa Shoemaker. And the passage of the governors has halted the cuts that have crippled California schools over the past several years. With greater solvency, Mr. Llanusa feels the district is in the privileged position of being able to look at some of the cutbacks CUSD has made. One cut Mr. Llanusa would like to see reversed as soon as it is feasible is $300,000 once allocated for transportation to extra-curricular activities. In its absence, athletic teams and academic clubs have had to hold fundraisers, carpool and seek donations to pay for transportation. The district is also looking at extra income from 2 properties it sold over the past couple of years, the old district office and the current service center, which together have netted the district nearly $13 million. CUSD needs to address deferred maintenance at a number of sites, according to Mr. Llanusa. While preserving the districts infrastructure is key, though, he would like to see some of these funds be used to pay down the districts debt. For instance, the district took on a large, Certificate of Participation (COP) debt a number of years ago and still owes $7.28 million, which costs CUSD about $565,000 in interest each year. If we pay down the debt, that would be a one-time expenditure, he said. By relieving the interest on that debt, we would leverage the money into the restoration of programs, positions or facilities. As for in-the-classroom goals, Mr. Llanusa would like to see the district continue to narrow the achievement gap that has historically caused a lag in test scores for subgroups like disabled students, English learners and children who are socio-economically disadvantaged. He is also concerned about the direction given to the district by CUSD stakeholders at a recent study session, suggesting a longstanding graduation requirement be removed. In an August meeting, 4 groupseach consisting of 3 peopleadvised the district to look at folding the subject matter from a high school class called Technology Skills for the 21st Century into the entire CUSD curriculum, rather than maintaining the course as a graduation requirement.

One of the main reasons is that many CHS students complained that the course impinged on the already jampacked schedule of Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate students andsince the class isnt weightedadversely affected their GPAs. The committee members at the study session, consisting of board members, CUSD staffers and, in one case, a student, reasoned that the move might also help younger students obtained the technology skills they will need as the district transitions to the Common Core form of assessment. However, Mr. Llanusa points out that the committee that met several times over the past year to discuss graduation requirements was evenly split on whether to remove or retain the class. He is concerned that the participants in the recent study session did not include the contingent in support of keeping the technology course. As the technology coordinator for my school, I know how quickly technology changes, he said. So I dont think the assumption that theyll pick it
up at home or at elementary school is accurate. CUSD has much work to be done, but the current school board has plenty to be proud of, Mr. Llanusa said. He feels the board did a top-notch job in hiring Superintendent Jim Elsasser, who is entering his second year on the job, and has worked together with collaborative collegiality over the last 16 months. Mr. Llanusa, who has a reputation for being the questioner on the board, has welcomed the addition of board member Sam Mowbray. He praises Mr. Mowbray for his expertise and says, Its great having someone else asking tough questions, too. He said the board made a misstep last year by accepting bad information from legal counsel and dismissing completely from the district then Sumner principal Frank DEmilio, who was accused of failing to report an inappropriate incident between 2 students as abuse as well as not being forthcoming about his decision. The boards vote, which Mr. Llanusa opposed, was eventually reversed amid community outcry and Mr. DEmilio is now serving as a classroom teacher. Notheneless, Mr. Llanusa feels the board has, by and large, had a studentfirst attitude that is exemplified by the boards decision to add a sixth goal to its mission statementthe cultivation of the whole child through curriculum, policy and enrichment activitiesan objective that may not instantly boost test scores but which Mr. Llanusa considers crucial. I think when the board makes decisions based on what is best for the students and on community wishes, the result is going to be favorable, he said. Profiles on the other CUSD school board candidates will appear in upcoming editions of the COURIER.

The signs of Claremont

by John Pixley
wrote last year about a friend from Los Angeles who commented that the stop lights in Claremont seem to take longer. Another friend, who lives in Pomona, says that she knows right away that she has driven into Claremont because the streets are so much smoother. Until recently, when Bonita Avenue was repaved in Pomona, I saw and felt how the difference in asphalt made a borderline as I traveled in my wheelchair to and from the gym at Casa Colina Hospital.
In the same way, there is no doubt that we are in Claremont when, now in September, there are thousands of college students back in town. Not only that, but there are hundreds of professors teaching classes again and a full schedule of lectures and performances to look forward to at the colleges. So it was really no surprise that in the last month or so a big topic in town was a sign. Reallyit took up more than half a page in the August 9 COURIER. Yes, a sign. Actually, 2 signs. Never mind that whenever I would go by the Old School House at Foothill and Indian Hill boulevards and see the new monument signs, I would think of something built with Tinker Toys or Legos. Or the huge toy sculpture sign in front of Magic Mountain off Highway 5. Except scaled way down for Claremont. Okay, maybe Im not the only one who thought of Tinker Toys and Legos. Tinker Toys and Legos may or may not have been part of the conversation, but scaling downway down, ideallyfor Claremont definitely is. According to the August 9 article, its back to the drawing board, with the 12-foot promotional signs scheduled for a re-do just months after they were approved by the citys architectural committee. While Claremonts director of community development Brian Desatnik said, There were a couple things with the signs that werent built according to plans, I think its pretty obvious that the city was hit with a slew of complaints.
observer
If there were deviations from what was approved, wouldnt Mr. Desatnik and other city officials have seen them right away? The signs will be toned down, literally, with the candy colors muted, the brightness dimmed by individual letters being illuminated and each panel limited to one line of text. According to James Sink, chair of the architectural commission, these changes will make the signs appealing despite their size. Revising details to match that sign more closely might improve the overall character of the monument signs, Mr. Sink said. The signs are going to be large, therefore the details of how they are constructed are extraordinarily important. In the article, by Beth Hartnett, it was pointed out that the height of the signs will remain the same (12 feet) to the dismay of some. There is history behind such dismay, which I suspect city officials heard a lot about after the signs went up, and Mr. Sink hit the nail on the head when he used the word character. For all my life in Claremont, I remember store signs being low, small, not too colorful and bright, almost not there. It wasnt like it was when I went right over to Upland or Pomona, where there were lots of big, bright signs, some dozens of feet high. I quickly learned that big signs arent Claremont, arent in Claremonts character. It was only 4 years ago that more than 3 stores were allowed on one sign. And, as Ms. Hartnett further explained in the article, While multi-tenant signs are no longer restricted, they are not welcomed in all parts of the city. Businesses in the Village District, for example, are completely restricted from erecting shared signage, and all other areas are subject to architectural commission review and approval. And while looking to help Claremont business folk, commissioners say they still keep the character of Claremont at the forefront of their decisions.
Or, as Mr. Sink put it in regards to the Old School House signs, The sentiment we received from the community was this has to be fixed. This development deserves signage that respects the historic character while providing effective and attractive identification for the tenants. While there are times, many times, when I roll my eyes, like I did when I saw this story. I have to say that, yes, I have thought those bright Lego signs look silly and also wrong in Claremont. And, yes, I like that there are signs that are wrong in Claremont, that there are limits to the kind of signs allowed here and that we debate it. Even when I think it gets silly, Im glad that there is an effort to keep the character of Claremont. After all, I dont stay here for no reason. There are times, though, when keeping the character of Claremont ends up being not only a truly silly sign, but downright ugly. I still say a tattoo parlor wouldnt hurt the Village. But, apparently, an affordable housing project in northern Claremont, above Foothill Boulevard, is even worse. Never mind that the state is setting up monitors to gauge how bad the air is next to freeways. Claremont is getting set to greenlight a 95-unit townhouse complex on the southeast corner of Base Line Road and Towne Avenue just off the 210 Freeway in northern Claremont. Why is it okay for this project to be built at the site when it wasnt okay for an affordable housing complex to be built there some years ago? Yes, there are stricter environmental standards when it comes to affordable housing but if the site is so unhealthy, why is it okay for better-off folks to live there? And why isnt there now a group vigorously opposing the project, as there was when affordable housing was proposed for the site and before the county said it couldnt be funded due to unhealthful air near the freeway? Prior to the county stepping in, the opposition group spoke of increased crime and decreased property values in the surrounding area. Interestingly enough, Joseph OToole, a vocal leader of the group who fought the affordable housing project, summoning the American Dream in its title, has resurfaced in recent months, taking part in the activities of residents working on more conservative political endeavors. Some might remember Mr. OToole was imprisoned for being involved in weapons smuggling. Id like to think that this isnt a sign of Claremont.
Master, where are you when I need you?
Meet me at Walters
by John Neiuber
n Sunday, September 22, Walters owners, Nangy and Fahima Ghafarshad, will host a celebration of their 40 years of advancing the gastronomy, art, culture and community of Claremont. All of the proceeds from the event will benefit the Claremont Community Foundation and Claremont Heritage.
The story of how a young couple from Afghanistan came to the United States and achieved the American Dream is the story of Walters. Walters Coffee Shop was established by Walter Boldig as a popular eatery in 1957, and seated only 35 customers. It shared the building with Hendricks Pharmacy, now Balboa Thrift and Loan. The building was designed by renowned, local architect Foster Rhodes Jackson (1911-1998), who was from Massachusetts and a graduate of MIT, and came to southern California in 1946, after serving as a lieutenant commander on a submarine in WWII. Mr. Jackson worked with Frank Lloyd Wright and was very much a disciple, having served as a fellow under the famed architect at Taliesin. His designs, however, were not inspired by the work of Taliesin East, but of Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Arizona. His own house in the hills above Claremont was designed in the desert style of Taliesin West, with battered concrete walls and exposed boulders used from the building site and nearby canyons. The Walters and Hendricks Pharmacy building was designed with ce-
ment block, glass and wood sash. The louvered awning that extended from the roof line was a prominent feature on the west and south sides of the building. When it opened in 1954, it was a very modern addition to the Village. Nangy Gharfarshad was a pilot in the Afghanistan air force, and arrived in the US with his young bride, Fahima, to attend training during a period of time when upheaval and change was happening in his homeland. Knowing that he did not want to return to Afghanistan, he chose to stay in the US. Arriving in California with only a few dollars to their name, with a young daughter and Nangys brother, who did not speak a word of English, the Ghafarshads worked at whatever employment they could find, until Nangy found work as a flight instructor at Brackett Field and moved his young family to La Verne. Having thought for some time of opening an Afghan restaurant, an ad in the Los Angeles Times for a small coffee shop in Claremont caught Nangys eye. The Ghafarshads purchased Walters Coffee Shop in 1973 for $24,000 and, by their own admission, changed a perfectly good menu. At first, the curious came by to see this new restaurant with a different type of food. Nangy Ghafarshad writes in his autobiographical book, To Lift a Mirror, for What
Photo courtesy of Claremont Heritage The old Walters Coffee Shop was gutted by fire in 1987. Owners Nangy and Fahima Ghafarshad, with the help of friends and employees, rebuilt and expanded the restaurant to include outdoor seating and dining bungalows.
Youve Lost, that one customer asked him if the Afghan burger was made with Afghan hounds meat? After a couple of busy days, the coffee shop lost just about every former customer. The little coffee shop struggled along but, just as The Colleges were the saving grace after the land boom went bust for Claremont in 1887, the new Walters began to attract students and professors, who were not only good customers but helped to educate the Ghafarshads about what to serve in their fledging restaurant. Business got a little better, yet the coffee shop strug-
gled and was always just one day away from going broke. Another restaurant opened nearby and, besides having some new approaches and a menu of fresh sandwiches, it had outdoor seating. Nangy and Fahima knew they needed to do something and decided to remodel the restaurant and add a small outside eating area. Business picked up. A beer and wine license came next, along with the expansion of the restaurant from 45 to 100 seats; however, with only an inCLAREMONT HERITAGE continues on page 9

Patricia May Kimball, a longtime Claremont resident, died August 27, 2013 at Pomona Valley Hospital after a short illness. She was 89. Ms. Kimball was born in Newport Beach on May 9, 1924 to May Agee Kimball and Clarence O. Kimball, a Methodist minister. The family lived in several southern California communities where her father, Dr. Kimball, was assigned to lead churches. Upon her fathers death, young Tish and her mother moved to Claremont where she attended Girls Collegiate School and Pomona College. During World War II, she volunteered as a nurses aide. After graduating from Pomona, Ms. Kimball started her career in real estate

in the Pasadena area, where she was also active in Democratic politics, supporting the campaigns of several local and statelevel Democratic candidates. She then became an assistant to California state comptroller Alan Cranston and remained in that post during Mr. Cranstons tenure in office. In the late 1960s, she served as assistant to the president of San Francisco State College, became a consultant and writer, and then moved back to Claremont to take a position with Pitzer College. When she was in her 60s and many of her contemporaries were planning their retirement, Ms. Kimball fulfilled a lifelong dream by enrolling in the University of La Verne College of Law. After earning her degree, she ran her own paralegal firm in downtown Claremont for several years. In her retirement years, she pursued her interest in music as an active member of a womens recorder group. She moved to Mt. San Antonio Gardens in 2009.

door capacity of 40. One of the adjacent bungalows became vacant and it was turned into another dining room.
he cluster of 6 bungalows was only one of 3 bungalow courts in Claremont. The entire bungalow court is now occupied by Walters and, when dining in the courtyard, one can still see the eyebrow eaves over what was once the entrances to the individual bungalows. As a bungalow became available, Walters would continue to expand the dining room. Nangy even found time to dig under the bungalows, one bucket at a time, to create a wine cellar and bakery. It took 2 years to complete the task.
Tragedy struck in 1987. Awakened by a call at 2 a.m., the police department informed the Ghafarshads that the restaurant was on fire. They rushed to Walters to see the building engulfed in flames. The woodwork in the building was destroyed, as was the stained glass by Claremont artist Mike Hill. As morning came, the workers were all let go and Walters was closed. A few days later they started to remove the debris from the fire. The kitchen staff

came back and offered to work without pay. Debris was cleared and neighbors and customers provided lunch for the entire crew. The landlord, Herb Hafif, offered to help with the rebuilding costs not covered by the insurance. With the help of friends and customers, a new restaurant was built. Out of the ashes of Walters Coffee Shop, a restaurant Walterswas born. A business grows its reputation. For a restaurant, it is about the quality of
food, beverage, service and ambience. But there is also another intangible at work in the back story of Walters. From the early days, the residents, students and faculty were interested in Nangys background as a pilot and flight instructor and about his and Fahimas life in Afghanistan. The customers also connected with the young couples family and watched the children, Asya and Dawoud, grow and the restaurant become a family business. The connections that were made became the relationships that created a loyal customer base. The customer was not only offered excellent food, drink and service, but also the attention of owners who cared about them as peoplewho always offered a warm greeting, asked about them and their family, and offered a comfortable place to eat, visit and linger.
It is Walters comfortableness that has created a place for friends and family to gather, to visit and to celebrate lifes benchmarks. On any given day, there are numerous birthdays, anniversaries, wedding showers and receptions celebrated at the restaurant. The decor consists of works by local artists, further connecting the restaurant to the community. For many years, Walters was the weekly meeting place for the Four Friends, renowned artists Harrison McIntosh, Rupert Deese, Sam Maloof and James Heuter. The late, local music legend, John Harrelson, was a big fan of Walters. Being the producer of his albums, he and I would meet at Walters monthly to discuss album concepts, critique tracks and make decisions about mixing and instrumentation. Born and raised in Alabama, Mr. Harrelson had always thought he knew where the best fried chicken was made, until the day he ordered the fried chicken at Walters. He turned and, in almost a whisper, said, I cant say this too loudly for fear my Aunt Patty will hear me from the grave, but this is the best damn fried chicken this Alabama boy has ever had. History is not only about the people, the events and the architecture of a city, but also about its culture and the role of place in that culture. Meet me at Walters is a common phrase heard between family members, colleagues and friends. The utterance of these words captures the essence of how a place has become a cultural icon within a city. Walters is such a place.

CLAREMONT GOLF COURSE continued from the previous page
handful of local schools that depend on the course to maintain their golf programs. The fate of the golfers is the most worrisome for Bruce Thompson, the Claremont courses golf professional who has taught more than 30,000 golfers, 5000 of them youths since he started with the course 20 years ago. After getting out of the Marine Corps in 1965, Mr. Thompson turned to golf as a vehicle for discipline and to continue to challenge himself. He now spends his time providing others with the same outlet. In his tenure, he has helped patients from Casa Colina use the golf course for rehabilitation; helped students from Claremont High School, Montclair, Chaffey and the Claremont Colleges expand their education and encouraged seniors through the Claremont Adult School to make the daily trek to the range. Its their home away from home, he said. I dont know what they would do without it. Equally troubling to Mr. Thompson is thinking of what will become of the youths who depend on this local resource. One of his proudest accomplishments at the Claremont Golf Course remains the thriving junior golf clinic, composed of 5 Saturdays of instruction culminating in a 5-hole tournament. The clinic has been a mainstay for young golfers around the re-
gion, hailing from Claremont, Pomona and east to Fontana. After learning their way around the local course, many have gone on to play high school and college golf, and a few have even made it to professional play. Sydnee Michaels, a former student of Mr. Thompsons, just competed in last weekends LPGA Safeway Classic. While other youth programs have closed up shop, the Claremont Golf Course youth clinic has kept on chugging. Now, its futures is in danger. That would be the biggest downfall, he noted. It would be a shame to not see these [young golfers] progress. Twelve-year-old Ariston Polanco, who practiced his swing with dad Henry Polanco on Tuesday, says he has learned a lot from his weekly lessons and tournaments with Mr. Thompson. Claremonts easy 9hole course also means father and son can come out more often for a quick game of golf to hone his skills. I would be really sad if it closes, Austin shared. Former CHS teacher and basketball coach Lowell Rice, whose time at the local course was a family affair, shares his sentiments. Weve all [his whole family] played there, Dave [UNLV head basketball coach Dave Rice] more than any of us. I would really be disappointed if it closed. Its just a nice little course, he continued. People have to make business decisions, but I think for our
community it would be disappointing. After word of the potential closure broke last week, many concerned locals have come forward to brainstorm ways to save the course and to share their favorite golf memories. Ralph Tecotzky remembered learning to play the game as a 16-year-old Claremont High School student, heading to the course after school with friends. The Claremont resident now enjoys taking his son to the course to share in his cherished pastime.
here arent a lot of communities who have a little golf course like we have here, Mr. Tecotzky said. It would be a shame for the course to be closed just for another bunch of buildings.
It is unclear if the land will remain open recreation space or if the colleges have their eyes on development. Mr. Thompson holds out hope that the space will remain a golfers haven for years to come. It really would be a real loss to the community, Mr. Thompson said. We are hoping, praying for a reprieve.

Struggles, triumphs of LGBT community in India

Pomona College professor explores sexuality in India in documentary film
ts never easy for a young person to come out as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. When you live in India, however, a country marked by adherence to traditional values and obedience to the family, its even tougher.
Nevertheless, a unique theater group took a very visible stand for LGBT rights this past February, debuting a play called To, Ti, Tey (He/She/It) in the Indian city of Pune. Pomona College theater professor Betty Bernhard spent her sabbatical chronicling the making of the play, which was co-directed by famed actress and writer Sushma Deshpande. The resulting documentary, Out!Loud!, features scenes from the play, footage of theater exercises and interviews with the cast, most of whom are aged 18 to 24. The 48-minute film, which is in English and Marathi, is an exploration of the 14 amateur actors experiences of sexual discovery and struggle for acceptance. The way the actors were recruited, via Facebook blast, is indicative of how India has embraced the technological trappings of modernity in recent years. Open talk about sexuality is still rare, however. To, Ti, Tey and Out!Loud! are exceptionally frank, thanks to the efforts of Ms. Deshpande, Ms. Bernhard said. Sushma is a genius at getting people to talk freely, Ms. Berhhard said. The actors were relaxed enough that they said things they never had before. There is a man whose father burned his lips with a cigarette when he was a child because his voice was too girlish; a lesbian whose parents admitted her to a hospital after she came out to them and a hijra who risked it all to become a postoperative transsexual. Theres a mixedflavor engineer who, despite his parents aversion to flamboyance, just has to dance, and a ladyboy who has found a place as a prettily painted sex worker but has yet to find love. Though every story is different, each of the actors has had feelings of isolation, rejection and depression, often to the point of becoming suicidal. A shocking number have also endured the traumatic experiences of kidnapping and rape. The plays debut performance was invitation-only, because the play hadnt yet passed the approval of Indias zealous censors. The reception, though, was overwhelmingly enthusiastic, Ms. Bernhard said. Many men in the audience were sobbing, admiring the actors for being so brave, she said. One actor came out to his father via the performance, and was glowing afterward, according to Ms. Bernhard: He said, my father said to me, I always thought that might be the case, though we never talked about it. Ms. Bernhard, who has taught at Pomona College since 1984, is a firm believer in the therapeutic strength of theater.
COURIER photo/Peter Weinberger Pomona College Professor Betty Bernhard is the creator of the documentary Out!Loud! that profiles the gay, lesbian and transgender community in India. Avani, seen below, who is a pharmacy student by day and a sex worker by night, was one of 14 LGBT actors who shared their stories in the film.
Once you start to speak your mind, its difficult, she said. But it might help someone else to hear what youre going through and to know that youve come out on the other side. She also sees theater as a powerful tool for political transformation. Ms. Bernhardwho is teaching a class this semester called Theater for Social Change aims for the film to strike a blow against deeply engrained anti-queer sentiments in India, a country whose Penal Code #377 renders homosexual activity punishable by up to 10 years in prison. One of the most important cultural differences between the United States and India is that marriage is extremely important to the social structure there; its the scaffolding, she said. Theres a lot of pressure to get married, which makes it more difficult to come out. Many Indians insist that homosexual, bisexual or trans tendencies are the result of pernicious Western influences. The sacred literature and the folklore of Hinduism, however, abound with what Ms. Bernhard characterizes as gender slip-
page. The god Shiva castrated himself, the god Vishnu took on the form of the enchantress Mohini and the deity Arjuna was cursed to become a member of the third gender or a kliba. Such stories are woven throughout To, Ti, ,Tey in an effort to remind audiences that tales of LGBT behavior are woven deep into the fabric of India. Previously, Ms. Bernhard made a documentary about a play Ms. Deshpande directed focusing on the experiences of sex workers in India. She has also made films about Bhavai folk theater, Sanskrit theater, the Indian Peoples Theatre Association and women theater activists, among other subjects. Thanks to an extremely professional teamwhich included legendary BBC and National Geographic cameraman Navroze Contractor however, Ms. Bernhard is particularly proud of Out!Loud! The documentary was funded in part by grants from Pomona College and the Claremont School of Theology. It has been well-received by audiences in the International Documentary and Short Film Festival of Kerala in June, at the Reel Desires International Queer Film Festival in Chennai and at the Film and Television Institute of India in Pune. Ms. Bernard hopes Out!Loud! which made its southern California debut on Wednesday at the Claremont School of Theologys Mudd Theaterwill likewise strike a chord with American audiences. She is currently submitting it to a number of US film festivals and next will look into distribution for the film. Ms. Bernhard traveled to India in 1988 and fell in love. She has since directed 2
classical Sanksrit plays at Pomona College, traveled to India twice as a Fulbright Fellow and directed several theater productions there. They are a beautiful people and the culture is so old, she said. Theyve been doing theater in various forms for 3,000 years. Ms. Bernhard said she misses the cast of Out!Loud!, who were fun, talented and more than a bit naughty, humorously referring to Indias putative anti-gay law as Penis Code #377. While much of Ms. Bernhards focus is on integrating Indian literature and theater more fully into the American university system, she is also open to the Western theater tradition. In fact, her next Pomona College play will be a production of Medieval mystery plays, centuries-old works that are loosely based on Bible stories and which are both sacred and profane. In one, Noahs wife resists getting on the Ark because she wants to stay behind with her girlfriends. Another play focuses on Satans fall. When Lucifer is kicked out of heaven, he says, Now, I do depart. And as I go, I crack a fart, Ms. Bernhard laughed. They had me there. Its good, broad stuff. Between classes and plays, promoting her current film project and looking to her next, Ms. Bernhard is busier than ever. Ive always said Ill keep doing this until it wasnt fun anymore, she said. And its still fun. Its hard work but its fun and fulfilling.

After 80 years, the Economy Shop is still thriving
mong the gently-used items that line the hand-painted shelves of The Claremont Economy Shop, is a frame housing a relevant phrase:
Some people touch our lives briefly, while others leave a lasting impression and are never forgotten. Loyal customers of the First Street thrift store agree the saying holds true for the beloved Claremont Economy Shop, which opened its doors this week
for its 80th consecutive year. The Economy Shop has certainly become familiar to locals in its decades near the busy intersection of Indian Hill and First. But its the workersall volunteersinside the stores blue-andwhite facade that bring spirit to the aforementioned axiom. They are here because they want to be here, said Barbara Reilley, an avid thrift shopper who makes sure to stop by the Claremont store at least once a week. It shows in how friendly they are. Everyone here is so nice. Volunteerism runs deep at the non-
profit shop, founded in 1933 by a group of church and Red Cross volunteers. In the days of early Claremont, grove workers came from all over in search of work among the citys teeming citrus trees, equipped with bright prospects but lacking the proper clothing. The Economy Shop was opened by a group of local do-gooders with a desire to help provide workers with muchneeded garb at reasonable prices. That spirit of giving hasnt changed. With nearly 50 volunteers, the store is always abuzz with friendly chatter, all in the name of philanthropy. Nearly 100 percent of the stores proceeds are donated to local charities, shared Pam Herrlinger, store volunteer and publicity manager. Last year, that meant $36,500 given to local nonprofits like Inland Valley Hope Partners, Inland Hospice, Crossroads, Project Sister, the Claremont After School Program and Uncommon Good. Our volunteers are the very reason this shop is successful, said store manager Pam House. The Economy Shop depends on the generosity of its volunteers and avid donors. Before the store closes its doors for winter break and the summer months, all goods are swept out and sent off to Boys Republic, a nonprofit serving troubled youths. By the time doors open again, the store is outfitted in donated goods once more. It keeps things fresh, Ms. Her-
Claremonters Mariela Martinez and her 4-year-old daughter Rylie say they love to explore the new items in the store.
rlinger said. At any time, The Economy Shop is brimming with finds, ranging from home decor and childrens toys to tops and bottoms for all ages. No matter how stocked the shelves, however, the

store keeps the shopping from becoming overwhelming. The homey size and neat upkeep of the shop are part of what drew in volunteer Linda Smith, an admitted social butterfly and thrift store shopaholic. Four years ago, Ms. Smith was early to her traditional Wednesday matinee at the Laemmle and decided to go for a walk. She didnt get farther than The Economy Shop. The early bird ended up late for her matinee, but after 4 years at the Economy Shop, she hardly regrets the hang-up. The fuzzy feelings are shared by the stores customers. Enthusiastic regulars lined up outside the shop prior to its opening on Wednesday, eager to check out new finds and welcome back staff. Among them was Daniel Fierro, who was pleased to find the store open on his way to work. When it comes to thrift shopping, The Economy Shop is his go-to spot. I get all of my work clothes here, Mr. Fierro said. The prices are good. In the years since her retirement, Ms. Herrlinger has found the First Street nook to be her preferred destination as well, a home away from home as she calls it: These people are like family. Ms. Herrlinger hopes others will feel the same. The Claremont Economy Shop, located at 325 W. First St., is once again open for business. Hours are Wednesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information or to volunteer, call 626-7334 or visit them on Facebook.
The Economy Shop opened its doors in 1933 to provide clothing to the citrus grove workers and their families. Some 80 years later, the resale shop continues to offer a variety of items, including clothing, housewares and knick-knacks.

Claremont business gets creative, moves into growth mode
eirloom boutiques world of eclectic treasures is about to get even bigger.

While many mom-and-pops struggle with lackluster sales, residents continue to flock to Village West to lose themselves in Rob Lewbel and Becky Morgans haven of homemade trinkets, out-of-the-ordinary finds and locallymade products; so much so, that the owners have decided to make it easier for patrons to explore their creative odds-and-ends. The owners will achieve this by expanding their business, first into north Claremont and then the wide expanse of the Internet. Claremont is going international, Mr. Lewbel quipped. In addition to their sanctuary on Indian Hill Boulevard, Mr. Lewbel and Ms. Morgan will expand their business with an online retail store, to be launched sometime this fall. A workshop and warehouse has also been opened in the Claremont Business Park, located at Foothill Boulevard and Monte Vista Avenue. The space will be used for extra inventory, wholesale items as well as for Mr. Lewbels creative inclinations. The goal is to eventually allow the community to join in the crafting, with the ability to come down to the warehouse and use some of Heirlooms tools to make projects of their own. Booming business has allowed them the luxury of opening themselves to a broader market. Sales are up 30 percent from last year, Mr. Lewbel shared, and the stores current online offerings have netted an increase of over 60 percent from 2012. They hope sales will continue to soar now that products will be available at the click of a button. We have been very fortunate, Mr. Lewbel said. We took a risk and it is really paying off for us. The crafty couple, who contribute about 20 percent of the stores handmade products, has come a long way in the 2 years following their Village debut. They began in October of 2011 fueled by their vision of creating a community gathering space similar to the concept of an old-fashioned general store. That initial vision thrives with the help of the community. Locals have taken to the store with increasing enthusiasm, whether stopping by to browse or participate in one of the stores ongoing art workshops.
Heirloom owner Rob Lewbel is quite creative and routinely makes light fixtures from old wine bottles.
It conjures that feeling of the small town glass blower or the pizza store where you watch the guy make the pizza. It creates conversation and people enjoy it, he said.
Though the in-store crafting will continue, the quarters have become a little cramped, Mr. Lewbel admits, which is part of the reason they have chosen to expand. The off-site workshop will provide him with some needed elbow room to take care of business. We need to expand the space so the ideas can flow, Mr. Lewbel said. The extra space will also mean more room for merchandise, both in-store and online. A lot of parents and kids affiliated with the colleges come in the store and are interested in buying things online for Christmas gifts, Mr. Lewbel explained. Its time to pull the trigger on that make it happen. While diving into new ventures, they havent forgotten what Heirlooms all about: providing a home away from home for locals with an eye for the eclectic. We could have just stuck to selling online, but then we would be missing that human element, which is the reason why our store is so successful, Mr. Lewbel said. Its entertaining, and more importantly, it brings the community together. Heirloom is located at 175 N. Indian Hill Blvd. For more information, visit www.heirloomclaremont.com.
COURIER photos/Peter Weinberger As part of their plans to expand the business, Heirloom owner Rob Lewbel was busy setting up a workshop at his second location in a Claremont business park. The plan also includes conducting classes to show others how to make homemade art projects. Below, Mr. Lewbel switches on a light fixture made from an old wine bottle.
ontributing to Heirlooms small-town feel is the stores in-house workshop, where Mr. Lewbel can often be found heeding his creative whims, crafting a lamp out of a recycled whiskey bottle or taking part in some other repurposing project. He enjoys sharing his craft with others.

Harvey Mudd wraps up construction on Foothill Boulevard

Construction is now complete on a new 85,000square-foot teaching and learning building on Foothill Boulevard, part of the Harvey Mudd College campus. The building, which will be called the Shanahan Center, accomplishes the colleges goal to have a stronger visual presence along Foothill Boulevard. The modern building includes many energy efficient and earth-friendly features, including the use of BubbleDeck instead of a traditional concrete foundation.

senior pastors have been straight, married, white men with children. As I said to the congregation, their choice to call a gay, tattooed lady in an age-gap marriage with no children, but a new puppy, is not normal, but a sign that God is still speaking. The Rev. Linda Jaramillo, one of the UCCs National Officers from the denominations Cleveland-based headquarters, will be a guest preacher at the installment beginning at 3:15 p.m. At 3:30 p.m., Ms. Gebbie will receive tokens from the community, as a symbol of her larger obligations, and the Claremont UCC youth group will serve communion at 3:45 p.m. Ms. Gebbie joined CUCC as associate pastor in February of 2012 and was called to serve as senior pastor in May. Goals in her new role include utilizing her nonprofit skills to improve financial and organizational management, empowering lay leaders to be more engaged in the life of the church and deepening community partnerships.

Mr. Dike contributed greatly to the California art scene of the 1930s and 1940s through his work in what would later become known as the California Style of watercolor painting. As the 1920s drew to a close and throughout the 1930s, Mr. Dike began to master the art of translating the effects of light and color into watercolor. In those early years, his fascination with this work led the rather shy and private artist on a journey throughout the United States and Europe. With more than 50 paintings, the exhibition tells the story of these years in detail. Visitors will view his impressions of life in New York in the late 1920s and his studies at the Arts Students League; his work in Europe, including his time at the American Academy of Art at Fontainebleau; and his travels afterwards. Paintings created after his return from his travels overseas will also be on display, as he continued his exploration of light and color by recording street scenes, architecture and landscapes in southern California and the Southwest.

COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff Matthew Keating has been named the new executive director of the Claremont Community School of Music. Mr. Keating, who is a former student of the school, studied cello at Cal State Northridge and in a study abroad program at a German conservatory. Mr. Keating previously lead the Punahou music school in Honolulu, Hawaii.
New musical director sees bright future for school
efore getting down to business, the Claremont Community School of Music will kick off fall classes on Sunday, September 8 with a back to school bash. In addition to celebrating the school year, the local nonprofit music institution will welcome back former student Matthew Keating, who recently returned to his alma mater as the schools new executive director.
Mr. Keating fills the position previously held on a voluntary basis by the nonprofits board member Bill Huff. The former student returns to Claremont with a world of experience, having traveled across seas to study at a conservatory in Germany through a program at the California State University of Northridge, where he received his degree in music. After returning stateside, he worked as a director with youth orchestras on the Hawaiian island of Oahu and as the head of a charter school helping underserved youth in Los Angeles. The music director holds that none of this would have been possible without the opportunities provided to him through the local music school. He was attending elementary school here in the San Gabriel Valley when budget cuts forced local schools to slash arts budgets, and along with it his schools orchestra programming. His family turned instead to Claremonts music school as their musical outlet. As art budgets remain sparse in local schools, Mr. Keating makes it his mission to provide music education as a resource for all. Music has totally changed my life, Mr. Keating said.
It has opened so many doors for me that would have not been open otherwise, and I want other kids to have the same opportunities. Music has always been influential in Mr. Keatings life, the love of which was passed down from his musical parents. He began with brass following in the footsteps of his father, a trumpeter, but eventually found his way to his soul instrument, the cello. As the story goes, his mothers violin teacher told the Keatings over dinner that their son Matthew had a cello personality. They didnt question her advice, and were happy enough to find a reason to put their family cello, acquired years earlier from a yard sale, to use. Mr. Keating has hardly parted with the instrument since. The young musician was introduced to the Claremont Community School of Music in the early 1990s by his father, Clifford Keating, one of the schools first teachers who remains teaching at the institution today. With cellist Annie Maldonado as his primary instructor, Mr. Keating began to develop as a seasoned musician, from tackling basic cello numbers to his first full concert. About to enter his freshman year in high school, he remembers the experience vividly. I practiced everyday, Id practice until I hurt, he recalled. Pain was all a part of the game, and Mr. Keating took it in stride with Ms. Maldonados help. Ms. Maldonado, who still teaches at the school, pushed him to expand his practice beyond solo performances, encouraging young Matthew to join several different string quartets during his time at the school of music. She also supported his development as a solo performer. Hell never forget performing Gabriel Faures Elegie to a packed crowd at Little Bridges, an opportunity made possible by the tutelage and encouragement of his teacher.
Mr. Keating was able to continue making musical memories when Cal State Northridge offered him the chance to study music with all expenses paid. That opportunity probably would not have presented itself if it werent for the [Claremont Community School of Music], he acknowledged. He has spent his time post-school ensuring other youth are able to seize the opportunities that were granted to him. He looks forward to growing the CCSMs existing membership and building upon the schools current programming. He hopes that might include bringing back chamber music to the music school and reinstating the schools youth orchestra. He maintains that group work is just as important to a musicians studies as private lessons. You learn so much from your peers being in an ensemble...it complements your private lessons and teaches you about the importance of teamwork, he said. Mr. Keating is no stranger to the current economic challenges. To combat the cuts to arts programming, he hopes to take a note from the LA Philharmonics Harmony Project and help give those unable to afford music education the chance to join in the melody. There is just something about music that really creates community and brings people together, Mr. Keating noted. Everyone should have the chance to experience that. The community is invited to welcome Mr. Keating at a kickoff celebration at the school, located at 951 W. Foothill Blvd., on Sunday, September 8 from 3 to 5 p.m. RSVP at http://anyvite.com/3yqlgpqntb. For information about registration, call the school at 624-3012 or visit their website at www.claremontmusic.org.

Notice is hereby given that RECONTRUST COMPANY, N.A., as duly appointed trustee pursuant to the Deed of Trust executed by ZSA ZSA M. HILL, AN UNMARRIED WOMAN AND MICHELLE GALLARDO, A SINGLE WOMAN, AS TENANTS IN COMMON, EACH AS TO AN UNDIVIDED 50% INTEREST, dated 12/19/2006 and recorded 12/29/2006, as Instrument No. 20062898156, in Book N/A, Page N/A, of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of Los Angeles County, State of California, will sell on 09/20/2013 at 11:00AM, By the fountain located at 400 Civic Center Plaza, Pomona, CA 91766 at public auction, to the highest bidder for cash or check as described below, payable in full at time of sale, all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust, in the property situated in said County and State and as more fully described in the above referenced Deed of Trust. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 463 NOTRE DAME ROAD, CLAREMONT, CA, 91711. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. The total amount of the unpaid balance with interest thereon of the obligation secured by the property to be sold plus reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $358,462.39. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept cashier's checks 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 Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state. Said sale will be made, in an ''AS IS'' condition, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust, advances thereunder, with interest as provided, and the unpaid principal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as provided in said Note, plus fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. 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 a 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 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 1-800-281-8219 or visit this Internet Web site www.recontrustco.com, using the file number assigned to this case TS No. 11-0137055. 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.

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.

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 877-484-9942 or 800280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site www.USA-Foreclosure.com or www.Auction.com using the file number assigned to this case 7042.29661.

I can't say enough about Mason's easy-going professionalism. I have worked with many real estate agentsbuying and selling a homesome good and some not so good, but Mason stands above the rest. Although a 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!
