By executive order, Governor Jerry Brown demands an overall statewide 25 percent reduction of water use. With the City of Trees ranked among the highest
water users in the state, Claremont residents, schools and the city will collectively
have to reduce water use by 35 percent. The San Antonio Dam, seen here, can
handle up to 11,880 acre feet of water but remains dry after years of drought. For

Dear Editor:
My wife and I were reading the
COURIER report about where the Claremont police station should be built. In our
opinion, build it on half of the Indian Hill
location of the Richard Hibbard Chevrolet
dealership acreage.
The Richard Hibbard location is centrally located, the area has built in garage
equipment and ample parking for impounded cars, which is a good revenue
bonus for our city. Prisoners can be placed
in one of the separate buildings in the rear.
The dealership showroom can serve as the
police offices.
The other half of the existing acreage
could be used for selling Chevrolet vehicles and go back to generating the $20
million in revenues for Claremont city tax
accounts. This is simple.
My next idea is to build a water pipeline
from British Columbia and feed water into
the LA Metropolitan Water District. But
that may be another letter to the editor.
Edward Ey
former Claremont resident

With thanks to Claremont


Dear Claremont community:
Claremont High School suffered a terrible tragedy on Sunday, March 29, when a
CHS student passed away. It was a painful
week for the students, staff and families of
the CHS community; however, the support
CHS received from this town and local
agencies helped ease our burdens, if even
just a little bit.
I want to thank the CHS community and
local agencies for the support they provided

our students and staff.


Psychological support was provided by
Katie Distelrath, MFCC, from the Claremont Human Services Department, Victoria Keyser, PsyD and her staff from
Youththerapy Psychological Services and
Kirby Palmer, LCSW, and staff from TriCity Mental Health Services. In addition, I
want to recognize the city managers office
and the Claremont Police Department for
their support.
Finally, I want to thank the members of
the community who reached out to CHS
with encouraging emails and some delicious treats. Here on campus, I want to recognize the efforts of the CHS Associated
Student Body.
Though it was a difficult week, the support we received from the city, local agencies, citizens and CHS students will not be
forgotten. Claremont is known as the City
of Trees, but it is also the City of Compassion. Thank you.
Brett O'Connor, EdD
Principal, Claremont High School

Council divided on tree removal


Dear Editor:
As reported in the COURIER, the city
council, at their March 24 meeting, approved a citizens request to allow the removal of two mature and healthy oak trees
from her neighborhood.
As an allergy sufferer, I have empathy
for her son who has severe allergy problems, but there seems to be zero evidence
that removal of two trees will provide relief. It appears that emotion, not science,
drove this decision.

OURSELVES
Agendas for city meetings are available at www.ci.claremont.ca.us
Tuesday, April 14
City Council
Council Chamber, 6:30 p.m.
made common-sense arguments supporting their stand against removal of the
trees. Councilman Lyons made the common-sense suggestion that a decision wait
until a scientific assessment could be
done. He eventually voted for removal of
the trees. Oddly, the deciding vote came
from Mayor Calacay, who earlier made
compelling arguments against the removal
of the trees.
I hope that Mr. Calacay, Pedroza and
Lyons will have second thoughts about
this and that the council will stall and reverse their decision before it is too late to
save the trees. Not only does this appear
to be a bad decision but sets a precedent
that may haunt city councils in the future.

Mr. Brown is calling for the State


Water Resources Control Board to
achieve a statewide 25 percent reduction in urban water usage through February of 2016. The 25 percent reduction
by water suppliers to California cities
will be based on amounts used in 2013.
For Claremont residents, who are
among the highest water-users in the
state, average summer use in 2013 from
June to August fluctuated from 330 gallons to 350 gallons per day, well above
the state average of 125 gallons.
Claremonts excessive water use didnt go unnoticed by the State Water
Board. Mr. Browns executive order directs the board to consider the per capita
water usage of each service area (per
gallon, per person, per day), and have
areas with high per capita use achieve
significantly greater reductions than
cities with lower use. The city of Claremont is placed on a tier four in the
proposed regulatory framework and is
now tasked with a 35 percent reduction
in water use city-wide.
On average, Claremonters used 314
gallons per person, per day in June
2014, rising to 332 in July and dropping
to 302 gallons per day in August 2014,
according to Drinc Portal, a state-run
website that monitors city water usage.
Despite a sky-high gallon-per-day average, Claremonters have achieved a 9.6
percent cumulative reduction in water
use from 2013 to 2015, equal to the
state average of 10 percent. This is certainly an improvement but still a far cry
from the 20 percent conservation initially requested by Governor Brown in
2014.
Bevin Handel, public information officer for Claremont, said the citys current ordinance, which was adopted in
2009, already calls for many of the provisions contained in Mr. Browns order.
We already have in our ordinance to
use a nozzle and not to wash driveways, Ms. Handel said. A lot of it has
been voluntary up to this point, so were
moving into a mandatory phase.
The city of Beverly Hills has received
negative press lately, with the Los Angeles Times publishing several reports on
excessive use of water to keep lawns
green in the 90210. However, the
51,403 residents of Beverly Hills, according to drinc.ca.gov, used 172 gallons per capita in June 2013 and spiked
at 278 gallons in August 2013, still
below Claremonts whopping 350 gallons per capita day.
It begs the question: Why is Claremont such a thirsty town?
What we have, as opposed to some
of the other communities, we have very
large lots, Ms. Handel explained. The
amount of turf and trees, were heavy

The San Antonio Dam sits just north of Claremont and has been a common sight
for residents who venture north up Mount Baldy Road. The dam was built in 1956,
is 3850 feet long, and controls runoff from a rugged catchment area of 27 square
miles. The dam can handle up to 11,880 acre feet of water, yet is bone dry because
of the lack of runoff from the San Gabriel Mountains. This photo shows the dam
looking north toward the mountains

on that outdoor watering. Theres still a


lot of lawns.
By contrast, in June of 2013, La
Verne residents used 213 gallons, dropping to 179 in July, roughly the same as
Upland residents. Pomona residents,
whose water use is below the state average, used a mere 105 gallons in June
2013, dropping to 95 gallons in July
2013, according to drinc.ca.gov. In
2015, the State Water Board has asked
Pomona to reduce water use by 20 percent; like Claremont, the city of Upland
must realize a 35 percent reduction.
The governor proclaimed a state of
emergency in January 2014, at which
time he asked for a 20 percent reduction
in water use by California residents.
In July of 2014, the city of La Verne
handed down restrictions in response to

the emergency regulations adopted by


the State Water Resources Control
Board. These included banning hose
washing of paved surfaces, using only
buckets or a hose with a shut-off nozzle
for washing cars and barring refills of
any decorative fountains.
Previous provisions remain in effect.
For example, restaurants are to serve
water only on request, and leaks from
indoor and outdoor plumbing fixtures
need to be repaired within 48 hours. La
Verne also set up a water waster hotline, so that residents can easily and
anonymously report water-wasting activity.
The city of Claremont enacted no
new laws in response to Governor
Browns 2014 appeal, but upheld the
citys water conservation requirements

outlined in its ordinance passed in 2009.


Those suggestions were already in
place, Ms. Handel said. But well
move in to what we call stage two of the
ordinance, which will mandate a twoday-a-week watering schedule, among
other stricter restrictions.
Stage two of Claremonts water conservation ordinance will include twiceweekly, 15-minute watering schedules
for lawns (once a week from November
to March) and not between the hours of
9 a.m. and 5 p.m., mandatory 48-hour
repair of leaks, banning refills of ornamental lakes or ponds, no hosing down
paved surfaces and limiting refilling of
more than one foot and initial filling of
residential swimming pools or outdoor
spas.
Ben Lewis, Foothill District Manager
for Golden State Water, said GSW has
been working with Claremont officials
to reduce city-wide water use.
Golden State has been meeting with
Claremont city staff regarding their ordinance, Mr. Lewis said. There are
some opportunities for conservation.
In the meantime, city staff is looking
at its water use, particularly in spaces
that offer expansive grassy areas like
Padua Park.
What weve looked at with those
parks, and where we have soccer fields
or active recreation areas, weve kept
that, Ms. Handel said. But on those
hills at Padua Park, the areas that arent
playable or programmed space, were
continuing to reduce water use in those
areas. And city-wide, were on a winter
watering schedule.
Next up for Claremont will be a turf
reduction at city hall and Shelton Park
and, starting in May, removal of grass
on all the medians along Indian Hill.

Foothill traffic
stalled after twocar crash

raffic was diverted for a


short time on Foothill
Boulevard on Wednesday, April 8 as Claremont police and Los Angeles County
Fire responded to an injury accident near Berkeley Avenue.

According to an eyewitness who


called 911, officers arrived to the scene
around 3 p.m. after a charcoal-colored
Ford Focus attempted to cross Foothill
at Berkeley and was struck by a silver
Hyundai Accent traveling west on the
main thoroughfare. The impact of the
collision caused the Ford to flip onto its
side, resulting in the 76-year-old male
driver and his 73-year-old passenger
being sent to Pomona Valley Hospital
after complaining of pain. The driver of
the Hyundai, a 20-year-old female from
Redlands, her passenger and her eightweek-old puppy were treated at the
scene.

Paramedics attend to a man after removing him from a vehicle that flipped over Wednesday afternoon, forcing the closure
of the westbound lanes of Foothill Boulevard.

Victim positively identifies Joseph Davall as attacker in court testimony

he trial of Joseph Chandler Davall


began Tuesday, following a tedious
three-day jury selection process resulting in the appointment of 12 jurors
two men and 10 womenwho will ultimately decide the fate of the alleged rapist.

The Coachella Valley date farmer is accused of attacking and raping a 12-year-old Claremont girl on
March 21, 2014 while she slept alone in her home. The
35-year-old defendant has been charged with seven
felony counts, including two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child; one count each of forcible rape,
and sexual penetration by foreign object, criminal threats,
first degree burglary, person; and assault to commit a
felony during the commission of first-degree burglary.
Dressed for trial in a blue dress shirt and gray slacks,
Mr. Davall sat beside his attorney Mitra Donde as Judge
Juan Carlos Dominguez provided instructions to the jury,

admonishing them not to talk about this case with anyone.


You must come to a verdict based only on the evidence presented at trial, he said. A defendant in a criminal case is presumed to be innocent. This presumption
requires that the People prove a defendant guilty beyond
a reasonable doubt.
Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Babette
Huley is prosecuting the case and, in her opening statement, provided jurors with a brief summary of the events
that allegedly took place on the night in question.
After hearing all the evidence, the People are certain
you will return a guilty verdict on all counts, Ms. Huely
told the jury.
Ms. Donde followed with her opening statement.
You must presume my client is innocent, listen to the
evidence, follow the judges instructions and give justice
to these proceedings, she said.
Ms. Huley then called her first witness: the victim,
identified as Jane Doe.

Thursday, April 2
Female drivers sometimes get a bum
rap, but one gal earned her stripes after
taking Claremont police on a high-speed
pursuit. Officers responded to Blaisdell
Park around 9 p.m. following a call of
people being loud in a white vehicle in
the parking lot. Officers arrived on scene
and saw a white Chevy Impala backed
into a parking spot on the south side of
the lot. As the officer stopped his vehicle, he spotted Sheila Daniels get in the
drivers seat and take off out of the parking lot traveling west at a high rate of
speed. The officer followed, resulting in
a pursuit through the cities of Claremont
and Pomona. The officer ended the pursuit as the 50-year-old suspect continued
to drive at a high rate of speed before
coming to a stop in a driveway on the

2500 block of San Antonio Ave., just


north of the 60 freeway. Pomona PD arrived to assist. Following a 30-minute
standoff with police, Ms. Daniels was removed from the vehicle and taken into
custody after refusing numerous commands from police. The Compton resident was booked at Claremont jail for
evading a peace officer and reckless
driving.

With her grandparents already seated, the now 13year-old girl was escorted into the courtroom with a Victims Services representative and sworn in before her
testimony. She recalled the night of her attack, telling the
court she was at a friends house for a bonfire on March
21 when her father and his friend picked her up around
11 p.m. to take her home.
As she rode in the rear passenger seat of her dads
friends car and approached her home, she noticed a man
on the sidewalk but didnt say anything to anyone. The
teen told the court the man had caught her attention because she hadnt seen him before.
I was observing him, she said. We didnt make eye
contact, but I remember thinking it was weird he was
wearing a hat since it was dark outside.
Once parked outside the complex, her father walked

their neighborhood. Officers responded
to call for service around 12:30 a.m. after
a resident spotted a suspicious truck in
the area. During a police search of the
area, Steven ODonnell jumped from the
bed of a vehicle and shined a flashlight in
a strobe mode at the officers. Police ordered the 25-year-old man to the ground,
but he refused. Instead, he walked away
and then charged at officers while holding a seven-inch punch tool to his neck.
Officers used a taser and Mr. ODonnell
fell to the ground, but he continued to
struggle with police. The La Verne resident was tased a second time, incapacitating him. Mr. ODonnell was taken into

Saturday, April 4
Police responded to a home in north
Claremont after numerous bank cards,
drivers licenses and social security cards
were found inside the vacated residence.
The realtor for the property located on
the 1000 block of Lake Forest Drive discovered the items and turned them over
to Claremont PD. Officers have tried to

new one. The cards belonged to residents
of Rowland Heights and Barstow, as

Holly oaks removed after special request from Claremont resident

he fate of two controversial holly oaks on Green


Street was sealed this week as workers from
West Coast Arborists removed the trees on
Wednesday, making quick work of the project and
leaving little to no evidence they had ever existed.
In just over two hours, the trees were cut down,
chipped up and hauled away.
Since it rained last night the tree was soaked, so
when it came down the amount of yellow dust was
minimal, said homeowner Alice Perreault. That was
an unexpected, natural gift.
As the COURIER previously reported, the Claremont City Council approved the removal of the trees
with a contentious 3-2 vote after Ms. Perreault and her
15-year-old son came before the city council in late
March. At that meeting, Ms. Perreault stated the health
of her son Julius, who has cerebral palsy and suffers
from allergies and periodic asthma attacks, dramati-

her before retiring to her room where she laid in bed with
her phone before falling asleep.
Is that the only door in your home that leads to the
outside? Ms. Huley asked the victim.
Theres a backdoor in the kitchen that leads to a
backyard, Ms. Doe told the court. There used to be a
fence around the yard it, but it was open because they
were fixing it. The backdoor is always locked because
we never use it.
After falling asleep, the junior high student was
awoken a short time later.
I felt a pain in my sides and heard a clicking noise,
she said. There was a stranger on top of me and I started
to freak out. I tried to get loose but I couldnt move. He
looked like the same man from outside.
When asked by the prosecutor to describe the remaining details of her attack, the victim began to cry and
asked her grandparents to leave the courtroom before
she continued. They complied.
Following a 10-minute break, Ms. Does testimony
resumed as she spoke of her attack, first of her struggle
with the assailant followed by details of the assault.
The victim said that her assailant threatened her, saying, I know where you live and I know what school you
go to. Ill have my boys come back and kill you!
After he left, Ms. Doe tried to find her phone but was
unable to locate it. Not believing what had just happened, she sat in bed until her father came home shortly
after.
I didnt leave because I was scared he might still be
outside and try to kill me, she explained when asked if
she tried to get help.
Ms. Doe said that her father took her to the Claremont
Police Department to report the crime when he returned
home and then to Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center where a nurse examined her.
Did you see or hear more than one person? Ms.
Huley asked the victim to which she replied, No.
Do you see that person in court today and can you
identify him by pointing to him and describing what
color hes wearing?
Ms. Doe pointed to Mr. Davall and simply said,
Blue.
The defense asked but one question before dismissing
Ms. Doe, with the understanding she may again be
called to testify.
Trial resumed Wednesday with jurors hearing testimony from several experts, including a nurse detailing
the victims forensic exam as well as a DNA expert and
officers who investigated the scene of the crime.
The case went to the jury late Thursday morning and
as of press time, no verdict has been reached. If convicted as charged, Mr. Davall faces a maximum sentence
of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
The COURIER will cover the verdict if, or when, one
is reached.

cally worsened after moving in to their new home. The


particulates and pollen from the two holly oaks bordering their driveway were having a severe adverse affect
on the teens health, requiring numerous hospitalizations, and prompting his mothers request the trees be
removed.
As stated in the citys Tree Policies, two trees will be
planted at the homeowners expense for every one tree
that is approved for removal. The policy was put in
place to deter tree removal requests. In this case, four
trees will be selected and planted to replace the two
that were eradicated from the properties of Ms. Perreault and her neighbor, Jim Hollifield.
What that means is that four trees will be planted
within the city of Claremont in an effort to expand our
urban forest, not necessarily on the properties of which
they were removed, explains Community Services
Director Kathleen Trepa. The area on Mr. Hollifields
property is limited. It will be need to be the right tree
for the right space.
The new trees are expected to be planted in the fall
of 2015.

Further complicating the issue, the citys Designated


Street Tree List offers three replacement tree options
for the 100 block of Green StreetBlack Acacia,
Coastal Live Oak and Forest Green Hungarian Oak.
All three species are known to be allergen trees,
says Ms. Trepa. The city will work with the two property owners to find a replacement with lower allergen
levels. The request will need to go through the process
with the Tree Committee, the Community and Human
Services Commission and the City Council for approval.
While some may be reluctant to go through the arduous tree approval process again, Ms. Perreault is undeterred in her mission to care for her childs health while
being conscious of the effects her choices will have on
the Claremont community.
Im focused, dedicated and really honored to have a
presence during the discussion because besides allergens, the overall aesthetics for the neighborhood will
be considered, she says. That matters to me, too.

A teenage girl driving without a license brought on


all kinds of trouble after leaving the scene of an accident. Officers responded to a collision investigation on
Base Line Road and Padua Avenue around 4:19 p.m.
Three people were seen fleeing a 2012 Nissan Sentra
and found by police nearby at Citrus Glen. The driver,
a 15-year-old Montclair resident, identified herself to
police and a records check revealed shes never been
issued a drivers license.
During a consented search, police discovered marijuana in her purse as well as a plastic bag of pot and a
canister containing concentrated cannabis in the purse
of her 17-year-old passenger. Both Montclair teens
were booked, the juvenile driver with hit and run, driving without a license and possession of concentrated
cannabis. Her 17-year-old passenger was arrested for
possession of concentrated cannabis. Jason Hernandez,
a 20-year-old Ontario resident found with the girls, was
also arrested for a warrant out of San Bernardino
County.

roughly the size of a door on the wall of the parks band
shell. City officials were notified and cleaned it up at an

Supermarket mayhem continues as thieves strike

Around 4:30 p.m., the victim drove to Sprouts on

purse in the childs seat of the shopping cart. While
shopping, the petty thief took the victims wallet from
her purse without her knowledge. When she went to the
register to pay for her groceries, the shopper discovered
her wallet was missing. The victim drove home and
called to cancel her credit cards, only to discover that an
unknown suspect had already used her Target REDcard
at the Target in Montclair. The theft remains under investigation.

Many happy returns to Claremont


by John Pixley

heres no need to leave Claremont. Why would you want


to? I found myself thinking
later that Saturday evening last month of
what Randy Lopez said. I had just told my
friend that, more and more these days I
am happy to be able to go home to Claremont.
We were in Hollywood, having seen a wonderful
play (Niagara Falls at the Theater of NOTE). Once
again, I was marveling at the riches of live theater in
the Los Angeles area, especially in small theater, despite the old saw about LA not being a theater town.
As always, I felt privileged, lucky, to be able to see
good theater, often with the actors just feet away, that
is not too far away.
But there was that parking lot. My van was packed
into it, like a pair of skinny jeans, and maneuvering
out of it was quite the trick. Like that jumble tower
game. These super-tight parking lots, like those jeans,
are all over the Hollywood area. At least the flat rate
was just $5, not $25, as it was in the lot behind the
Pantages Theater when I saw The Book of Mormon
last year (well, at least we had snagged some tickets
at an insane discount, which was why we went).
After he managed to extract the van out of the lot,
my friend said that the rate had probably gone higher,
with all the clubs opening for the night. Probably.
Somebody is making bucks, big-time.
This was about the time, as we were heading down
Hollywood Boulevard, that I said Im happy to go
home to Claremont. Sure, the big-city streets and
lights are exciting. For a few hours. Or, sometimes,
for a few minutes.
I find those big-city streets and lights, especially in
places like Hollywoodwhere those skinny jeans
and who is in them and where they allow them to go
is so very importantto be less exciting. (Then again,
I never got why all those tourists from Peoria want to
see Hollywood Boulevard, even as it has been spiffed
up, but perhaps thats because I dont live in Peoria.)

observer
Im not really interested in all those lines on the
sidewalk and all the trying and not trying to get into
those lines and would rather pass them by and go
home to Claremont where the sidewalks are a bit less
crowded.
Then there was the freeway. Where there was traffic. At 10:30 on a Saturday night. Again. And where I
once again missed the long-gone, quaint days of the
5-o-clock traffic.
That was when I thought about Randy Lopez
words said earlier that day. The ones about a lot going
on in Claremont and about there being no reason to
go somewhere else.
Mr. Lopez said this while he was emceeing the pieeating contest at the Depot during the annual Claremont Pie Festival. He was actually vamping, filling
time and no doubt trying to soothe a crowd of impatient spectators and pie-eaters as the pies were late in
coming.
He pointed out that the Pie Festival, now in its third
or fourth year and a popular event judging from how
busy the Village was that day, is far from the only
event that happens in the Village, much less Claremont. For one thing, theres also the Village Venture
in late October, which consistently draws thousands.
There is also live music going on on Friday evenings
in two or three Village locations during the warm
months, as well as the Art Walks on the first Friday of
each month and also special annual events like the
Wine Walk and the Beer and Blues Festival. (See, the
sidewalks in the Village are just a bit less crowded
than the sidewalks in Hollywood.)
With the pies being tardier and tardier, the summer
concerts and films in Memorial Park, as well as the
Fourth of July celebration, were mentioned. He also
could have mentioned such events as the beloved Pil-

grim Place Festival every November and also the


monthly Saturday morning tours of the Village area
put on by Claremont Heritage. Mr. Lopez did put in a
plug for the newly established Shakespeare Festival
in July at the shamefully underused Greek Theater on
the Pomona College campus. The festival was inaugurated by Ophelias Jump Productions, an exciting
new theater company in the Claremont area, with
which Mr. Lopez is associated.
The Shakespeare Festival obviously isnt the only
thing that happens on the Pomona College campus
and the other college campuses here in Claremont, as
Mr. Lopez didnt mention. (Maybe the pies arrived
too soon.) The festival just takes place there when
school isnt in session.
When the students are here, there is a terrific variety of presentations and events going on. And with
graduation coming up in about a month (really? Already?) there is a flurry of activity as students wrap
up their projects for the year.
This means that there will not only be the usual
impressive presentations, like the almost nightly talks
at the Athenaeum at Claremont McKenna College, in
the next few weeks or so.
There will be special annual events like the International Festival on the CMC campus and the Kahoutec
Festival at Pitzer College, in addition to end-of-theyear dance concerts at Pomona College and Scripps
College (not to mention the 5-college ballroom dance
company), plays put on by the theater department and
the student-run Bottom Line Theater company at
Pomona College and a slew of concerts by solo students and the orchestras and choral groups at Pomona
and the other colleges.
Indeed, this is the time to check out the Claremont
Colleges calendar, which comes with the COURIER
at the start of the month or which can be found at
www.collegescalendar.org.
And indeed, with all this and more going on, is
there a reason to leave Claremont? Not that I wont
go to LA to catch a play or exhibit now and then, but
Claremont sure is a nice placeit is, yes, more than a
nice placeto come home to.

Im not into relationships.

Remembering loved ones this Easter season


by Pastor Mark Wiley, Claremont United Methodist Church

or many of our kids,


Easter will not be remembered as a time of
chocolate bunnies, nor will
spring break be remembered as
a time for fun and relaxation.
For them, Holy Week will be a
time of sadness and regret too
deep for words. They will ache
with pain for having a classmate commit suicide.

For some of them, it may be a lifedefining moment. When my daughter


was in high school, a drunk driver killed
one of her friends in a crosswalk. In the
decade since, they check in with each
other on the anniversary of her death.
They have continued to visit her grave.

Inter-Faithfully SPEAKING
And they always have designated drivers at their social events. Their lives
were reshaped by her death.
Those who knew Esm will remember her with great affection. There will
be tears for who she might have become,
and longings to hold each tight to make
our pain lighter. This is, as the Bible
says, a time for tears and a time for sorrow.
The questions will arrive later. They
will burst into our mind like geysers
erupting. Did I cause her sorrow?
Did she know I cared? Did I miss her
cries for help? Could I have done anything to prevent suicide? The questions
will linger for days, weeks, perhaps for

Temple Beth Israel Holocaust


remembrance to focus on
youth experience
Though a diary left behind by a young woman
named Anne Frank is perhaps the best known of all
Holocaust-era memoirs, the writings of many other
teens and even young children also survived that terrible time, providing a unique perspective on both their
suffering and their survival skills.
This timely topic will be the focus of this years
Holocaust Memorial Day (Yom HaShoah) commemoration taking place on Sunday, April 12 at 4 p.m. at
Temple Beth Israel in Pomona.
The centerpiece of the program will be the screening of the film Im Still Here: Real Diaries of
Young People Who Lived During the Holocaust,
originally produced by MTV Networks.
This compelling documentary, featuring appearances by Elijah Wood, Ryan Gosling, Kate Hudson,

the remainder of high school. Many will


long for one more conversation with her
to give both of you peace.
I did not know Esm, but I do know
God. God met her at heavens doorway
with arms outstretched in a giant hug.
There will be no judgment against her.
There will be no words of condemnation. She will be welcomed. All her pain
will be eased. All her sorrow changed
into joy, just as rich as the wine Jesus
transformed from water.
For us, the time ahead will move
slower, feel heavier and will carry an
ache that will diminish but will never
completely disappear. But for Esm, she
will have the time and the grace to con-

OUR TOWN
Oliver Hudson, Brittany Murphy, Amber Tamblyn
and Joaquin Phoenix, brings to life the diaries of
young people who witnessed first-hand the horrors of
the Holocaust.
Through an emotional montage of archival footage,
personal photos and text from the diaries themselves,
the film celebrates a group of brave young writers
who refused to quietly disappear.
Given the tension locally in the past year centered
on the approach taken to teach Holocaust- related material in local junior high and high schools, this years
presentation is especially appropriate for students
seeking to understand the Holocaust through the eyes
of those who were their contemporariesteens and
other school-aged children.
While Anne Franks celebrated diary is included in
the story told by the film, it is also placed within the

tinue her journey of self-discovery. And,


one day, she will greet us with a smile
that holds no shadows and a heart that
has found its place when we arrive at
heavens gate.
In our culture, Easter is one day. But
in the church, Easter is a season. Some
would say it is a season for us to become
accustomed to sorrow, to go on living in
spite of Esms death. But they would be
wrong. It is the season for us to realize
that her life continues in a place we cannot yet see, nor ever comprehend, until
we, too, arrive. We need a season to figure out that death is the end of a chapter,
but not the end of the story.
And truth be told, we need a season to
learn how we can honor hernot just
for the life she lived and the memories
that she gave to us, but also for the life
she now lives and the memories that we
will one day make with her.

context of a much broader experience.


A companion musical program will include contributions from Cantor Paul Buch and pianist Dr. Randy
Polevoi. There will also be remarks by Rabbi
Jonathan Kupetz and contributions from other members of the TBI community, including author and poet
R. Gabriele Silten, a child survivor of the internment
camp a Terezin (Theresianstadt).
Memorial candles will be lit to remember the six
million Jewish victims of the Shoah (Hebrew for

of Nazi atrocities. The program is co-sponsored by

On the road again

by Debbie Carini

m about to embark on a huge adventure; in fact, its a full-fledged, passport, visa, language-thats-notABC-based adventure. And I am very excited.
I like to travel. Having grown up with a dad whose
Sunday drives often involved entering another country (he really thought nothing of motoring from our
small town just outside of Los Angeles to the Mexican
border), Ive spent plenty of time musing out the window about other places and people.
He called these jaunts tulie rides, and when the
black-top ran out and we went on to a dirt road, he
would study his Thomas Guide, a spiral-bound atlas; I
would sit quietly, wishing I had not dropped out of Girl
Scouts so that I might know what nuts and berries to
eat should we have to abandon the car at some point.
My husband also likes to adventure off the beaten
path. My most common question when were on a desolate road and wander upon a lone homestead is,
Where do you think those kids trick-or-treat?
Somehow, my thoughts always turn to food.
Ive been fortunate to have travelled almost all over

In fact, my first big family vacation in the mid-1960s
was to another country and the amazing sight of Niagara Falls. We drove there from our home, at that time in
New Jersey. Unfortunately, on the late afternoon
movie, I had seen the 1953 flick Niagara starring Marilyn Monroe, and so spent most of the ride through the
Catskill Mountains wondering if a person could really
be pitched over the falls in a tiny boat.
Turns out, there are all kinds of crazy things you can
do at Niagara Falls, including a horrifying steamship
ride called Maid of the Mist, which takes you
through the roiling waters and even into the dense mist
of spray inside the curve of the Horseshoe Falls. (I did
not do this.)

was with my dad, accompanied by an 8-year-old (me),
a 6-year-old (my sister) and a pregnant wife (a sister-tobe). On this trip, my father proved his mastery of road

over when the stereotypical jar of pickles she was trying to eat spilled in her lap. Phyllis, that lane is only

I flew once with my grandparents, who were born
just a few years after the Wright brothers took flight. I

Beatriz Zita

OBITUARIES

Teacher, avid reader, loving mother and sister


Beatriz Zita, a longtime resident of
Claremont, died after a brief illness on
Friday, March 27, 2015 at Pomona Valley Hospital. She was 84.
Mrs. Zita was born in 1930 in Argentina to Leopoldo Salazar and Elvira
Riondet. She received her degree in
English there and began her teaching
career.
In 1960, she participated in a teacher
exchange program that brought her to
Ashland, Ohio to teach high school
Spanish. Soon after, she met her future
husband Donald Zita, who was a journalist for a local newspaper doing a
story on the teacher exchange. He spotted Beatriz from across the room and instructed the photographer to get a
picture of her. He wrote a profile piece
on her and later asked her on a date.
They married in 1963 and headed
west to Claremont, where Don found
work as a writer and editor at the
Progress Bulletin, now the Inland Valley
Daily Bulletin. Mrs. Zita began teaching
Spanish at Alta Loma High School and
continued her education at Claremont
Graduate University, receiving a mas-

ters degree in Spanish literature. She


taught Spanish at Alta Loma High
School for more than 20 years.
She became widowed in 1987 and
returned to Argentina shortly thereafter.
There, she married Carlos De Anquin,
an orthopedic surgeon. Dr. De Anquin
died in 1999. Beatriz returned to Clare-

mont in 2000 for the birth of her granddaughter, Gina Zita Gonzales, and lived
in Claremont for the remainder of her
years.
From her in-law apartment behind
her daughters house, she kept up-todate on world news. Mrs. Zita loved
reading, devouring newspapers daily
and The New Yorker weekly, as well as
books in both English and Spanish. She
also enjoyed discussing politics and
world events.
Although they lived on separate continents, Beatriz and her three sisters remained close throughout her life. They
regularly sent her packages from Argentina, with magazines and international films on DVD. She returned the
favor with frequent parcels from California. And every Sunday the three sisters in Argentina would gather at one of
their homes for tea, a homemade dessert
and an hour-long phone conversation
with Mrs. Zita, which she would plan
her Sundays around.
Beatriz also lovedtravelingand socializing. She fondly recalled visiting
Italy with her first husband Don, where

they were the first Zitas to meet his Italian cousins since his father had arrived
in the United States in 1917. She also
cherished memories of her trip with her
sister Graciela back to their own
mothers birthplace in Collombey,
Switzerland. There they met their
mothers relatives and were able to communicate with them in broken French.
Mrs. Zita is survived by her only
daughter, Marcella Zita of Claremont;
her granddaughter, Gina Gonzales of
Claremont; her daughters partner, Ben
Benjamin, and his children, Mika Benjamin-Uyeki and Tashi Uyeki Benjamin, all of Claremont; her three
sisters, Besi Primo, Marta Salazar and
Graciela Derdoy, as well as Gracielas
husband, Jorge Derdoy of Rio Cuarto,
Argentina.
She also leaves her nieces and
nephews, Jorge Derdoy, Silvina Derdoy
and Fernando Benavidez; Federico Derdoy and Maria Ines Vidal; Claudina
Primo and Daniel Triulzi; Alejandro and
Vanina Primo of Argentina; and Valeria
and Scott Winslow of Boston, Massachusetts.

Inspired El Roble student shows love for little creatures

s Ariel Benjamin prepares for her


journey into adulthood and readies herself for her upcoming Bat
Mitzvah, the soon-to-be 13 year old is already demonstrating qualities that will
serve her and society well into the future.
As part of her coming of age ceremony at Temple
Beth Israel on May 2, Ariel has been participating in a
mitzvah project focused on serving her community
that will also benefit a passion that she holds close to
her heart.
Inspired by her love of all creatures great and small,
Ariel has chosen to work with the Inland Valley Humane Society & SPCA in Pomona by raising funds
and collecting donated items that will help save the
lives of animals in the area.
Its a no kill shelter, says the seventh grader
proudly. When Im old enough, Im hoping to work
there on their animal rescue team.
The Inland Valley Humane Society (IVHS) &
S.P.C.A. is a private, nonprofit organization and is supported by contributions, grants, bequests and proceeds
from pet adoptions, pet licensing and fees for services.
Serving Claremont and the Inland Valley since 1949,
the IVHS provides protection, shelter and medical care
to unwanted, abandoned and injured animals.
The El Roble student has been working hard to aid
the Humane Society and is hoping people will help her
with that mission. In addition to placing a collection
box in her Temples office where people can donate
items such as pet carriers, blankets, old towels, leashes,
food, cat litter and dog and cat toys, Ariel is using her
creative talents for a more hands-on approach.
I started hand-making dog toys from felt and selling them for $5 each, she says. Ive sold 16 so far,
with all the money going to the Humane Society.
Each dog toy takes 20 minutes to make and she accepts custom orders.
Weve had people request Angels colors and
Dodgers colors, she says. My woodshop teacher at
school bought two and she wants to get more.
Ariel first learned about the Humane Society from
her mom, Deena. Every year, Ms. Benjamin gives each

Claremont seventh grade student Ariel Benjamin is raising money for the Humane Society by making dog chew
toys that she sells for $5. The effort is part of a service project in advance of her Bat Mitzvah.

of her children $100 to donate to the charity of their


choice. Recognizing her daughters interest in animals,
she suggested Ariel donate to the Humane Society and
shes been a member ever since.
Id never heard about it before, Ariel admits. My
mom showed me their website and its a really amazing group. I follow all their stories and have every
magazine since 2010!
Although Ariels never had a pet of her own other
than fish due to family allergies, shes always loved
animals and has found ways to interact with them. She
dog sits and walks dogs for a colleague of her fathers
who lives in the neighborhood.
As a sixth grader at Sycamore Elementary School,
Ariel also became involved with Guide Dogs of America. Every Monday she would assist the instructor with
puppy training, a job she loved.
She was their official distraction, Mr. Benjamin
says with a laugh.
Having worked with puppies for a whole term until
they graduated from puppy school, Ariel says she
learned a lot, including just how much training a dog
must go through in order to become a guide dog for
the blind.

The blind person is relying completely on the guide


dog and its trainer has a lot of responsibility, she says.
The puppies would jump around everywhere and not
really listen but once they graduated from this course,
they were loyal and obeyed every command.
As her big day approaches, Ariels parents couldnt
be more proud of the young woman shes become and
the dedication she has shown towards her mitzvah
project.
Were very proud, Mr. and Ms. Benjamin say of
their daughter. Ariel takes initiative with anything she
takes an interest in. Were quite pleased.
Donations collected by Ariel for her mitzvah project
will be delivered to the Inland Valley Humane Society
& SPCA on Wednesday, April 22 at 2 p.m.
The shelter is hoping to expand their place and get
better living quarters for the animals until they get
adopted, explains Ariel. I hope this will make a difference.
If you are interested in supporting her cause with a
donation or would like to order a dog toy, contact
Deena Benjamin at arielsdogtoys@gmail.com.

Saint Francis once again graces church garden

or more than 50 years, a beloved


statue of Saint Francis of Assisi created by sculptor John Svenson had
graced the Pierson Parker Memorial Garden
at Saint Ambrose Episcopal Church before
being destroyed at the hand of a vandal.

The patron saint of animals and ecology had been broken into several large pieces after someone threw a rock at
the four-foot terracotta statue in late September 2014.
Now, more than six months later, St. Francis once again
welcomes visitors to the garden with a familiarity that will
be recognized by those whove sought comfort in his presence.
There wasnt any question in our mind that the statuary would be replaced, said Reverend George Silides.
We did the research and found out John Svenson was still
around and although hes not making art anymore, we
were able to work with his son, David.
David Svenson, an artist himself specializing in neon
and wood sculpture, was commissioned by the church in
November 2014 to replace St. Francis so that he may once
again take his place amid the garden. Working in his
Wrightwood studio, Mr. Svenson spent roughly four
months from start to finish recreating the statue at a cost of
about $6,000.
The statue was broken into about 30 pieces, said Mr.
Svenson, who lovingly pieced together the terracotta, filling in the cracks, before creating a rubber mold from
which to recast from the original work.
We choose to use concrete this time. Its more sustainable than terracotta, Mr. Svenson explains. We made
three casts but the last one really turned out the best.
After letting the concrete cure for one month, the statue
was stained a terracotta color before making the trip down
the mountain to Claremont just before Easter Sunday.
Mr. Svenson and his wife Kazumi returned St. Francis
to his garden home in front of the Wall of Remembrance
on Friday, April 3, placing him on the original pedestal
with a plaque that reads, To the Glory of God and in
memory of Aline August Kraus, 1896-1963.
Mt. San Antonio Gardens resident Mary Francis Pierson is the daughter of Ms. Kraus and contributed funds towards replacing the broken statue. Her father Walter F.
Kraus commissioned the original piece from John Svenson for her mother, who was a parishioner of the church
long before it found a permanent home on Bonita Avenue.
Before St. Ambrose became a church they had to have
a mission and they held the services at Claremont Mens
College, she explains. My mother did all the flowers.
Its wonderful to that we were able to replace the St. Francis in the garden.
The original St. Francis statue was dedicated in May
1964 and has given comfort to so many who come to the
garden to remember the ones theyve loved.
Its a memorial garden, its a sacred ground, says Rev.
Silides. The St. Francis statuary has very sentimental
value to those who visit the garden, and were pleased he
has returned.
Although the rector of the church knows the identity of
the man who destroyed the original statue, he has chosen
to handle the matter in a more personal manner rather than
turning him over to police for prosecution.
It was not a vandalism against the church and not a
vendetta against the artist, he says. No harm has been
done and that person and I have had ongoing conversations. In the long run, it will benefit him and will hold him
accountable in another manner.
A rededication ceremony for the St. Francis statue will
be held at 11 a.m. on Sunday, April 26 following second
service at St. Ambrose Episcopal Church located at 830
W. Bonita Ave., Claremont. All are welcome to attend.
For more information, contact St. Ambrose Episcopal
Church at (909) 626-7170.

Why I took the Claremont Energy Challenge pledge


by Fiona Bare, student manager at the Roberts Environmental Center

VIEWPOINT

n Thursday, March 27,


the Claremont Energy
Challenge held its
launch event at Rose Hills Theater on Pomona Colleges campus.
Anyone who was present would say
the event was undoubtedly a success. It
kicked off the Claremont Energy Challenge, Claremonts spin on the Georgetown University Energy Prize
competition against cities across the
United States. The competition lasts for
two years with the goal of a $5 million
prize.
When I first heard about the Georgetown University Energy Prize, I thought
it sounded like a neat opportunity to
work on energy issues in Claremont but
I did not anticipate how the project
would evolve. The Claremont Energy
Challenge has grown exponentially as
more students and community members
add their ideas to our collective vision.
I have had the privilege of leading student involvement, and I am inspired each

day by the passion and innovation student interns are bringing to the table. The
collaboration between students and the
community is exciting, as it indicates the
uniting power of the Claremont Energy
Challenge and its serious potential to
spark change.
I personally find the mission so invigorating because it recognizes the potential of one community to change its
energy consumption and then to replicate
the results in other, similar communities.

We have the power to instigate huge


change on a small scale and then to help
it spread. I personally pledge not only to
decrease my energy consumption, but to
also dedicate my time and energy to this
challenge for the next two years. I invite
you to join me and many other Claremont residents by taking the Claremont
Energy Challenge pledge. Whether its
changing a few light bulbs, installing
solar panels or volunteering your time to
educate othersyou can truly make a

difference!
As the Pilgrim Place Pickers sang at
the opening, Claremont lets do this
now, now, now!

Energy Challenge, visit the website at

EXECUTIVE ORDER/from page 3

he State Water Board will adopt


the new regulations sometime
between May 5 and May 7. Ms.
Handel said that city staff is reviewing
the citys current ordinance to make sure
it meets the governors executive order
and to consider the logistics of enforcement.
The Claremont City Council will
hear city staffs recommendations at the
Tuesday, April 28 meeting.
The city will also launch a program,
similar to La Verne, where a resident
can call in to notify the city of excessive
water use. As stated in the 2009 ordinance, the city may first issue a written
warning to a violator. A second offense
within a 12-month period is punishable
by a fine not to exceed $100, a third violation could result in a $250 fine and a
fourth could cost the water-waster as
much as $500.
New regulations from the State Water
Board and Governor Brown apply to
Golden State Water customers, pending
approval by the California Public Utilities Commission, Mr. Lewis explained.
Upon approval by the CPUC, according to Mr. Lewis, violation of any
of these prohibited or restricted water
use activities may be punished by a fine
of up to $500 for each day the violation
occurs. Claremont city staff may issue
the citation on their own or tickets may
be issued in cooperation with Golden
State Water.
As part of Mr. Browns plan, the State
Water Board will direct urban water
suppliers to come up with rate structures
that maximize water conservation

Built in 2010, Padua Park is Claremont's newest park hat includes two soccer fields and a unique design to capture water

the background.

consistent with the new restrictions. No


specific mention of Golden States
WRAM charge was made, but presumably such tactics will be off limits with
the ratification of the governors order.
The board will also adopt emergency
pricing regulations and work with state
agencies and water suppliers to identify mechanisms that facilitate the adoption of rate structures and other pricing

mechanisms that promote water conservation. The CPUC must take similar
action with investor-owned utilities like
Golden State.
Urban water suppliers must also provide monthly information on water
usage, conservation and enforcement on
a permanent basis, according to the
State Water Board.
The State Water Board is accepting

feedback and comments on how a 25


percent state-wide reduction could be
structured. Comments can be emailed to
Jessica Bean at Jessica.Bean@waterboards.ca.gov by April 13, 2015.

The Spring Celebration sponsored by the Rotary Club of Claremont was held Saturday, and ended with the ever-popular egg hunt for kids. Here, young kids make a
mad dash with a little help from mom and dad. Below, the art and crafts area enabled families to work together to create unique art while have fun at the same time.

Spring celebration ends with massive egg hunt

elebrating spring each year means different


things to different people. For many families, Saturday meant making the annual trip
with the kids to Memorial Park for a potpourri of
fun sponsored by the Rotary Club of Claremont.
During the morning hours the park turned into a
mini-carnival that included arts and crafts, a petting
zoo, pancake breakfast (with the help of that other
club, Kiwanis), magic show and, of course, the big
eventthe Easter egg hunt! Judging from the long
lines for all the venues, this party was more popular
than ever.
By 10:30 a.m., crowds had circled the egg hunting grounds taped off for different age groups. You
could tell from the looks of the kids, and, especially,
the faces of the parents, this was serious business.

With the help of Claremonts Rotarians and city


staff, thousands of eggs were gently nestled in the
tall grass, ready to be plucked for the taking.
After all the hard work and planning, master of
ceremonies Ron Coleman kick-started the event as
hundreds of children ran towards the eggs filled with
candy and other goodies. The volunteers quickly
made their way out of hunting area and behind the
tape to safety (never underestimate a 3-year-old hungry for candy). Within minutes, the eggs were gone,
with not even one left on the ground.
This marked the end to yet another successful
spring celebration in Claremont.

route will be temporarily closed during the ceremony.
The Commencement Ceremony is scheduled for Sunday, May 17, 2015, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. To accommodate the commencement ceremony on Marston Quad, College Avenue from Bonita Avenue to Sixth Street, and

NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that the Director of Community Development has determined that this proposal is
exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with Chapter 3 of Claremonts Local

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PROPERTY
OWNER:
YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF
TRUST DATED 08/16/2007. UNLESS YOU
TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE.
IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE
NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST
YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER.

Place of Sale: BEHIND THE FOUNTAIN
LOCATED IN CIVIC CENTER PLAZA, 400
CIVIC CENTER PLAZA, POMONA, CA
Estimated amount of unpaid balance and other
charges: $777,926.08
WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH, CASHIERS
CHECK DRAWN ON A STATE OR NATIONAL BANK, A CHECK DRAWN BY A
STATE OR FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, OR A
CHECK DRAWN BY A STATE OR FEDERAL
SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION, A SAVINGS ASSOCIATION OR SAVINGS BANK
SPECIFIED IN SECTION 5102 OF THE FINANCIAL CODE AND AUTHORIZED TO DO
BUSINESS IN THIS STATE:
All right, title, and interest conveyed to and now
held by the trustee in the hereinafter described
property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust
described as:
Street Address or other common designation of
real property: 150 Buena Vista Drive, Claremont, CA 91711
A.P.N.: 8315-015-005
The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability
for any incorrectness of the street address or other
common designation, if any, shown above.
The sale will be made, but without covenant or
warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title,
possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the
Deed of Trust. 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: $777,926.08.
If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any
reason, the successful bidders sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid
to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall
have no further recourse.
The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed
and delivered to the undersigned a written request
to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned
caused a 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 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 this property.
Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right
to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible
that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be
less than the total debt
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 (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web
site http://www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices.aspx using the file
number assigned to this case 2014-04739-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

ESTATE OF MARK ROBERT WALSH
CASE NO. BP161095
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors,
and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will
or estate, or both, of MARK ROBERT WALSH
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by
TREVOR SCHRECKLER in the Superior Court of
California, County of Los Angeles.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that
TREVOR SCHRECKLER be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
The PETITION requests authority to administer the
estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining
court approval. Before taking certain very important
actions, however, the personal representative will be
required to give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to the proposed
action.) The independent administration authority
will be granted unless an interested person files an
objection to the petition and shows good cause why
the court should not grant the authority.
A HEARING ON THE PETITION WILL BE
HELD IN THIS COURT AS FOLLOWS:
Date: April 27, 2015 Time: 8:30 A.M. in Dept. 9
located at:
Superior Court Of California,
County Of Los Angeles,
111 North Hill Street
Los Angeles, CA 90012
Central
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you
should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or
by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a CONTINGENT
CREDITOR OF THE DECEDENT, you must file
your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within
the later of either (1) four months from the date of
first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58 (b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of
mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under
section 9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult
with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE THE FILE KEPT BY THE
COURT. If you are a person interested in the estate, you
may file with the court a Request for Special Notice
(form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as
provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for
Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

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

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

made available to you and to the public, as a
courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you

OF THE FINANCIAL CODE AND AUTHORIZED
TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE:
All right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by
the trustee in the hereinafter described property under
and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described as;
Street Address or other common designation of real
property: 2142 WILKES CT, CLAREMONT,
CALIFORNIA 91711
A.P.N.: 8670-013-010
The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any
incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above.
The sale will be made, but without covenant or warrant,
expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the
note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust. The total amount
of the unpaid principal 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 : $455,523.71
If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason,
the successful bidders sole and exclusive remedy
shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and
the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.
The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and
delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a 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
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 this property.
Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to
bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at
the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than
the total debt.
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 (866)-960-8299 or visit this
Internet Web site http://www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices/Sales.aspx using the file number assigned to
this case 2013-28198. 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.
The best way to verify postponement information is
to attend the scheduled sale

Spring has arrived and Claremont home sales began to warm up, but just slightly, in March.
Market inventory of homes finished at around 70 units, slightly higher than February and
most of winter, which held steady in the low 60s. Homes appear to be selling more quickly
again, though the average days on market remained the same as in February. Comparing
year to year, it would appear that prices have dipped, but its simply due to different price
points of sold homes in the small data set that one month provides. Prices continue to slowly
move upward. As the weather warms up and tax season comes to a close, expect the market to heat up as well, with more inventory and sales numbers increasing in turn.
