ment, overall, might rather be a full-time, sub-
contracted city attorney with an office in city

Full-time: to allow for focused, fully-dedi-
cated legal oversight, review and involvement
that would not have to compete for attention
with the demands of any other cities or or-
ganizations. (Specialized projects could still be
out-sourced, if necessary.)
Sub-contracted: via an at will employment
contract, which would allow an attorney to be
replaced if things are not working out. With an
office in city hall: to offer easier, more con-
venient, day-to-day access for routine and non-
routine matters.

Immunizations
Dear Editor:
The November 17 article regarding the
vaccination video provides a troubling
glimpse of the effects of SB 277.
SB 277 requires CUSD to deny access to
public school students who are not in com-
pliance with pediatric immunization recom-
mendations, which have been made into
legal requirements.
As shown, this situation can create a tense,
adversarial relationship between families and
school districts to the point where CUSD felt
compelled to bring a liaison police officer to
a non-school location just to talk to a parent
and a parent felt the need to make a video of
the encounter which she perceived as ha-
rassment.
How did we arrive at this position? By
making two choices: 1) assuming that the
current medical recommendations for vacci-
nation are not subject to rational scientific
challenge; and 2) favoring what is believed
to be the communal good over the rights of
the individual to make medical decisions.
But these choices are just that, and differ-

Bike thefts down, despite holiday weekend thefts

with 13 in the Village. This year so far, there have

B
inhai Zhengs son expected to re-
turn home from the holiday week-
end to his red mountain bike,
which he left parked in front of the Clare-
mont Museum of Art.
Instead, Alvins bike was ransackedthe wheels
were gone, and what was left was still secured against
the rack by its U-Lock.
Its a very ugly scene, Mr. Zheng said. This is a
very civilized, very nice town. We cannot let crimi-
nals take charge.
Alvin, an 18-year-old student at Harvey Mudd Col-
lege, had left his bike at the CMA racks before with
no problem, so he figured it was okay to leave it when
he took the train to San Diego to visit family for the
Thanksgiving weekend.
When the family gave Alvin a ride back to Clare-
mont Sunday morning, they found that the entire rack
was plundered. A total of five bicycles, including
Alvins bike, were left in pieces in the public area.
Its like lifeless horses just sitting there, Mr.
Zheng said. Its not an inspiring scene.
Captain Aaron Fate of the Claremont Police De-
partment said that overall, bike thefts in the Village
and Claremont are down, though the threat still re-
mains.
In 2016, there were 131 bike thefts in Claremont,

been 86 bikes stolen, with nine of them in the Village,
Captain Fate said.
Right now its down, he said. Hopefully it stays
that way until the end of the year.
The majority of the thefts are in and around the col-
leges, he added.
A lot of it is the concentrationthere are a lot of
bikes there, Captain Fate said. People will go where
theres a lot of bikes to steal.
Captain Fate credits the drop in bike thefts to in-
creased education from the department and the col-
leges, where students are instructed to lock their bikes
at all times and to register them with the police.
Oftentimes, Captain Fate said, police would find a
bike they suspect was stolen, but the owner could not
be found because it wasnt registered. You can regis-
ter your bike for free at Project529.com
Bike thieves, Captain Fate said, are primarily look-
ing for opportunity. They lurk in areas where there
isnt a lot of foot travel, and zero in on bikes that look
expensive.
Thefts like what happened to Mr. Zheng, where
thing, are more rare, Captain Fate said. The best thing
to do to is to take the wheel off and take it with you.
Typically, the components arent as valuable as the
bike itself, so the goal is to take the entire thing, he
said.
But he noted that of the four bike thefts that oc-
curred in front of the CMA, three thieves have been
arrested. Overall, arrests have gone up as well, from
six in 2015, 18 in 2016 to 14 captured thieves in 2017
so far.
Alvins family eventually replaced his bike, which
initially cost about $200.
He needs a bike to play tennis, he needs a bike to
go around, Mr. Zheng said. He has to have a bike.
But Alvins father is making sure his sons new
bike doesnt fall prey to thieves again.
We gave him two locks now, he added.

CUSD school board evaluates charter school application

At the Claremont Unified School Dis-
tricts November 16 meeting, the board of
education held a public hearing on a peti-
tion from Ingenium Wings Schools to
open an independent study charter school
in Claremont.
Ingenium Schools, which was founded
10 years ago and serves 1,400 students
across four charter schools in the Los An-
geles area, has its headquarters in Claremont,
and wants to expand.
Superintendent David Langford told the
board that Ingenium doesnt want to com-
pete with Claremont, but rather work to-
gether with the district.
Theres always a time when students
need something extra, Mr. Langford said.
They need some kind of help, whether
thats college prep that you dont offer or its
credit recovery programs, or dropout re-
covery.
Ingeniums school would serve kinder-
garten students through 12th graders, and
would transition from homeschooling and
small group interactions with other students
in younger grades to mostly independent
work at the high school level.
Langford doesnt anticipate many of the
proposed charter schools students will
come from Claremont.
I understand that you take in about 1,700
students from surrounding districts every
year, he said, but I also understand you

Chiang looks to stand out from gubernatorial candidates

C

John Chiang presented himself as
a fighter Monday evening.
In his speech and Q & A during the Democratic Club
of Claremonts meeting at the Napier Center at Pilgrim
Place, he told of fighting against then-Governor Arnold
Schwarzenegger and pledged to fight against President
Donald Trump.
Mr. Chiang, who is currently the states treasurer, ex-
tolled his experience as a former member of the states
board of equalization and eight years as the state con-
troller in order to sell himself to the Claremont crowd
of about 100 people, including Mayor Larry Schroeder
and Councilmember Sam Pedroza.
Im very different from the others in this race, he
said. Im the only person in California history to have
served in all three financial offices. I see things very
differently. I know how to pay for California; I know
how to finance California.
The open primary is scheduled for June 2018, and
Mr. Chiang is up against two prominent Democrats
current Lieutenant Governor and former San Francisco
mayor Gavin Newsom and former Los Angeles mayor
Antonio Villaraigosa. The top-two vote getters, regard-
less of party, will move on to the general election in
November 2018.
If Mr. Chiang wins, he would be the first Asian-
American governor in Californias history.
Mr. Chiang grew up around the country, from the
Chicago area to the suburbs of New Jersey before set-
tling in Torrance. As a first-generation son of Taiwanese
immigrants, Mr. Chiang said he knows first-hand the

Friday phrases and praises
by Mellissa Martinez
E
very year, I am perplexed by the
Black Friday craze. I simply cant
fathom battling crowds and stand-
ing in hour-long lines for a bargain, but
clearly I am in the minority when it comes
to this sentiment. Although, as a kid, I
dont remember being familiar with the
termor the conceptBlack Friday was
well-established a decade before the
1970s.
Black has long been used in the Western world to
describe days in which dramatically bad events occur.
Typically, these have been specific stock market crash-
es or incidents of brutality. Before it got paired up with
Thanksgiving, Black Friday referred to the day that
the price of gold collapsed in 1869, the stock market
plummeted in 1873, British police attacked peacefully
protesting suffragettes in 1910, and brushfires raged in
Australia in 1939. There have also been black Tues-
days and Mondays marking calamitous events.
The first published mention of Black Friday with
Thanksgiving came in 1951, from a magazine titled
Factory Maintenance and Management. The editor
used the term to refer to the day after Thanksgiving
when many employees seemed to be mysteriously ab-
sent, leaving employers and fellow workers in a bind.
Greece, the second series
I
n the early 90s I was living alone in
Claremont and teaching fourth grade.
I had summers off and missed Greece,
but I didnt want a summer visit of sunning
on a Greek beach no matter how lovely its
beaches are.
I wanted substance, meaning and a challenge during
my summer vacation. After a discussion with a Danish
friend, I was given a brochure about a holiday center
run by a British couple on one of the islands in the Spo-
rades group, which consists of Skiathos, Skopelos, Sky-
ros and Allonisos. It didnt take long for me to decide
to return to Greece,, but in a new capacityas a stu-
dent.
That first year was a totally new experience for me.
I left Athens as quickly as I could and took a bus to the
island of Evia, where I could catch a ferry to Skyros,
where the Skyros Center was located. As we neared the
island I saw a cake-like mountain with white icing run-
ning down the sides. The icing was the white cubic
houses spilling down the mountainside. Up near the top
was Skyros Town, where the Skyros Center had its
headquarters and the first of its two locations.
LEX
IN THE
CITY
At this point, the connotation was still clearly negative.
By most accounts, the expression as we now use it,
was invented by the Philadelphia police department in
1961. The Friday after Thanksgiving was already a
popular shopping day, as merchants were eager to
mark the opening of Christmas season. Every year,
crowds from the annual Army-Navy football game
merged with frenzied shoppers, causing major prob-
lems. Knowing that they would be dealing with exces-
sive traffic congestion, accidents and incidents related
to the influx of people, the department sarcastically re-
ferred to the day as Black Friday.
There were some attempts by merchants (who clear-
ly enjoyed the crowds) to change the popular phrase to
big Friday, but that didnt stick. As is the case with
many words, after decades, the connotation ameliorat-
ed and we no longer associate Black Friday with
calamity (unless, of course, you find yourself at a Wal-
Mart door early that morning). There have even been

I would be going to Atsista, the larger of the two

As I arrived at Skyros Town the skies opened up and

began.

pants and presenters came from many different coun-
tries. Each two-week session was led by a director

efforts to spruce up the origin of the expression with
many internet sources suggesting that on this day mer-
chants go from being in the red (debt) to being in the
black (profitable).
Black is not the only adjective to be popularly cou-
pled with Friday. The religious holiday, Good Friday
comes from the Middle English sense of good as
holy or sacred. Nowadays, the expression casual
Friday is an office mainstay and girl Friday, was a
common 1940s expression meaning resourceful
young female assistant. This profession (as well as
man Friday) comes from the character Friday in the
1719 novel Robinson Crusoe.
Probably the most recent Friday pairing, Flashback
Friday, has emerged on social media platforms. Face-
book users, bloggers and even marketers post nostal-
gia-inducing videos, pictures or songs and tag them
with #FlashbackFriday. Whats the difference between
Flashback Friday and Throwback Thursday? Not
much, except for the obvious. In general, people write
#ThrowbackThursday or #TBT if posting an old photo

whose personality helped shape the atmosphere of each
session.
A large stone house sat on the road facing the sea.
Inside there were a few rooms where participants could
stay, which I did sometimes over the years. Most whole
group and small group meetings were held at the Magic
Circle at the top of the property nestled under large
shade trees. Smaller circles made of cement floors and
edged in stones existed throughout the property and it
was here that many of the courses were held, informal
groups met or where anyone could practice or meet
with friends. Most people slept in huts at the top of the
property. Each hut sat under a tree or two and was a
room for two people. The toilet and bathing areas were
at either end of this top area. It was very open, relaxed
and informal. It was also clean and fresh and airy.
The sea was wonderful. Part of it was deep and rocky
and a great place to swim and snorkel. A bay formed
which was perfect for small boat sailing and paddling.
Rock climbing was done on one side of the mountain-
ous cliffs which formed part of the bay. On the other
side a small beach swept around a curving sea just fine
for sunning and beach swimming. A small taverna run
by a friendly Greek family was near the beach where

The Garner LegacyThe Mexican Players

P
adua Theatre was supposed to be a
barn perched atop the hill to house
the Claremont Community Players.
The Players had performed in various lo-
cations for two years beginning in 1928.
At first they used the second floor of a
small restaurant called, appropriately
enough, The Hayloft.
They soon outgrew the space and then performed
in the high school and college auditoriums. Many of
the members of the Players were also involved in
Padua Hills Incorporated, which was headed by Her-
man Garner. When it was decided to build a theatre,
everyone was squarely behind the endeavor.
Herman Garner, who had taken over controlling in-
terest of the corporation, had listened to the Players
who wanted a theatre that would seat 300 people,
have a large backstage area, dressing rooms and
plenty of storage space.
It would have a dining room and theatre. Garner
assured the Players that their needs could be achieved;
however, he envisioned a simple barn-like structure,
the type of which was popular with little theatre
groups across the country.
The Pasadena firm of Marston & Maybury was
hired to design the structure. Ideas were sketched and
Garner left the development of the plans to the Play-

ers, as he was preoccupied with his own business and
making arrangements for an extended trip to Europe.
When Herman, Bess and their three sons left, the
final blueprints were not yet ready. The Players were
working on the design. Garner thought the Players
were following his idea of a barn-like structure and
the Players thought they had been given free rein to
design the building as they saw fit.
It was in Amsterdam when the final plans caught
up with the Garners. The barn-like structure had be-
come a fully-equipped Spanish Revival theatre that
was already under construction. Garner was con-
cerned.
The Depression was deepening, but it was too late
to make changes. He cabled the architects and con-
tractors and told them to finish the work. The final
cost came in a little over $75,000. The Community Claremont Heritage photo

author Pauline Deuel explains how this came about:
Mrs. Garner once said that the idea for the
dining room service was born during their trip to
Europe. One lovely evening in Italy they dined on
a flower-bedecked terrace overlooking the coast
and were entertained by strolling musicians who
played and sang for them. The dinner program so

ents did not look upon the idea of their
young daughters working in a public
dining room favorably, not to mention
performing there as well. When pre-
sented with the information that broth-
ers and cousins were also working, the
parents consented.
On December 2, 1930, the theatre
opened with a production of The Royal
Family by Edna Ferber and George S.
Kaufman. All five performances were
sold out, as were the reservations for the
dining room. Sixty guests were served at
both the six and seven oclock seating.
The servers performed songs and dances
for both dinners, and the Players were
well-received by critics, allowing all to
overcome their self-consciousness and
opening night jitters.
After the successful opening, the the-
ater began to operate on a regular sched-
ule. The dining room was open every day
for lunch, tea and dinner, and there was a
buffet supper on Sunday. It soon became
a popular destination for residents to en-
tertain associates, friends and family. The
theater was in almost constant service,
even though only one major production
was staged each month.
In April of 1931, an event took place
that was central to the formation of The
Mexican Players. The members of the
Claremont Community Players invited
the young servers of the dining room to

provide the entertainment at one of their
meetings. They had become popular
with the audiences of the theatre and
there was a growing consensus that they
should not be confined to the dining
room.
The young performers worked dili-
gently on their show and surprised even
the most skeptical with a professional

and polished performance. Their pro-
duction was called Noche Mexicanaor
Mexican Nightand included a fiesta
scene that served as a background for
Mexican folk songs and dances. The pro-
gram was so well received that it was
staged twice in May at a PTA benefit.

given birth to the type of performance
that later developed into the distinctive
productions of The Mexican Players.
This did not go unnoticed by Bess
Garner. She wrote in her journal that one
day she discovered the assistant chef in
the kitchen directing a particularly gory
Spanish tragedy with a cast of every
available bus boy, waitress and dish-
washer.
This enthusiasm for acting, combined
with their considerable talents, prompted
the Garners to channel their energies into
a production that would combine the per-
formers acting interests with their abili-
ties as musical entertainers.

Jim Pirlo
Hairstylist, people person, Christmas connoisseur
A memorial service for Jim Pirlo is
planned at 10 a.m. on Saturday, December
16 at Claremont United Methodist Church,
211 W. Foothill Blvd. Mr. Pirlo died
peacefully at home on the morning of No-
vember 20, 2017.
Jim was born on June 21, 1946 in Buf-
falo, New York to parents Reno and Lau-
ra Pirlo. The family moved to California
when he was 10, settling in Pomona. He
graduated from Pomona High School in
1965 and shortly thereafter attended beau-
ty college. He was a hairstylist for more than
40 years in the Claremont area.
His long career in the beauty industry
came as no surprise to his many friends and
family. Mr. Pirlo was drawn to elegance,
from his love of elaborate Christmas dec-
orations to finding the perfect lace table-
cloth or wearing his finely-pressed Tom-
my Bahama shirts.
He was a sharp dresser, his husband
Pete Serrano shared with a smile. And he
loved to shop.
Mr. Serrano recalled a recent night
when illness required an emergency visit
to the hospital. As Pete tried to rush to the
car, Jim calmly headed to his bedroom to
first put on his jewelry.
He delighted in decorating for Christ-
mas, hanging dazzling lighted garland,
swapping out everyday throw pillows for
my house like that! He loved Christmas
and had a knack for decorating as if the
president was going to visit.
He had a good sense of humor, Mr. Ser-
rano related, but most importantly he was
a giving person to his family, friends and
the community. His friends and family are
what he held most dear.
Claremont resident and longtime friend
Marilyn Bidwell met Jim in 1978. Their
group of friends had planned a birthday par-
ty for Ms. Bidwell in 1987 at a comedy club
at the Montclair Plaza. She had recently met
Pete, and invited him specifically to meet
her friend Jimmy, believing the two might
form a friendship.
Little did we know it would last 30
years, she said. They just clicked and that
was it. Its been a wonderful partnership for
them. Jimmy was really outgoing and
Pete is very quiet, but they held each oth-
er up. It was the perfect combination of per-
sonalities.

OBITUARIES
We called him a social butterfly, she
shared. Even people in Stater BrosI told
a checker that he passed away and she start-
ed crying. No matter where he went, peo-
ple just loved him.
The greatest gifts resulting from their 40-
year friendship were his quick wit, outgo-
ing personality and his heartfelt generos-
ity. After Ms. Bidwells mother got de-
mentia and came to live with her daugh-
ter, Jim was first in line to offer support.
He would come over and just love my
momhe would wash and set her hair.
Jimmy was so giving to everyone he met.
He was an incredible human being.
With his health declining the last few
weeks, Mr. Serrano said Jim had one fi-
nal requestan illuminated Christmas tree
decorated by friends.
He was a great host and loved to en-
tertain, Pete said, especially at Christmas.
Mr. Pirlo is survived by his husband of
30 years, Pete Serrano; his mother, Laura
Pirlo; his brother, Louis Pirlo; his sisters
Sherry Thacker (Harold), Nancy Birdsong
(Sam), Denise Jordan (Dale); his sister-in-
law Liz Smithmeyer; longtime family
friend Bob Sparks; and many nieces,
nephews and grand-nieces and grand-
nephews. He was preceded in death by his
father, Reno Pirlo, and his brother Ron

Cross country beats all comers, earns girls state title

I
n a familiar pattern, Claremont High
Schools girls varsity cross country
passed over the finish line in a tight
pack, earning a Division 2 team title at the
CIF California State Cross Country
Championship on Saturday at Woodward
Park in Fresno.
This is the second consecutive state title for the girls,
who had a storybook season in-
cluding an undefeated Palomares SPORTING
League record, winning CHS LIFE
Cool Breeze Invitational, winning
the Bob Firman Invitational in Idaho, and winning the
CIF Southern Section title.
The Wolfpack runners had a 36-second split, netting
69 points and easily defeating Saugus at 100 points and
Granada at 102 points.
Junior Sydney Hwang once again led the pace with
a 10th place finish at 18:12. She was followed by Tess
Rounds, 12th place at 18:18; Azalea Segura-Mora, 19th
at 18:36; Kalinda Reynolds, 23rd at 18:39; Angela
Gushue, 32nd at 18:48; Alyssa Cantrell, 33rd at 18:48
and Sarah Ayala 70th at 19:28.2.
The girls have formed a very strong bond which
helps keep them winning. If one person has an off day,
another is there to fill the gap. Such was the case on
Saturday, when the final three CHS runners set per-
sonal records even when the top three did not.
Our strength came from the back, commented As-
sistant Coach Jose Ancona.
It wasnt my best time, certainly, said Segura-
Mora. But that is why it helps to have a team to back
you up. There is no hierarchy, we encourage each other
to pass.

very likely the last time they would be part of the team.

The free and open to the pubic exhibit is comprised

the Claremont artist over the past 30 years, all on the
theme of the City of Lights.
Ms. Beretich, 81, was born in Chicago. She earned a

1970s, where she helped to bring some of the eras big-
name artists from New York and LA to the City of
Trees, as well as providing a venue for local artists to
exhibit their work.
Sundays show features work shes amassed over her
many years as a sculptor and painter. I spent a year in
Paris in 1967, Ms. Beretich said. But the work thats
represented in the show, it was all executed here.
Shes active and engaged in her eighth decade, and is
eager to talk about her life in art, and about her latest ex-
hibit.

hroughout the speech,
Mr. Chiang focused on
topics including health-
care reform, affordable hous-
ing and multiculturalism.
This state is one-and-a-half million
units short of housing. One of every five
of us lives in poverty. Our income levels
are the same as other Americans, but
housing and transportation costs drives
us into poverty, he said. So thats why
I am focused on building more housing.
He also distanced himself from the
other candidates on how he would deal
with the current commander-in-chief.
We tackle Donald Trump very differ-
ently, he said. I would argue that I am
the most action-oriented gubernatorial
candidate taking on Donald Trump.
His willingness to fight comes from
taking on Mr. Schwarzenegger when the
former governor attempted to cut salaries
for government employees during the
budget crisis in 2009.
He had all the power, Mr. Chiang
said. I had movie producers ask me,
Why are you taking on Governor
Schwarzenegger? He was connected to
the media. I said he cant do math.
If Mr. Chiang wants to compete with
Mr. Newsom and Mr. Villaraigosa, its
going to be a tough battle. A Los Ange-
les Times/USC poll conducted between
October 27 and November 9 showed Mr.
Newsom in the lead with 31 percent, Mr.
Villaraigosa with 21 percent, Republican
candidate Travis Allen with 15 percent,
Mr. Chiang with 12 percent, Republican
candidate John Cox with 11 percent and
Democratic candidate Delaine Eastin

with four percent.
But a lot can change between now and
June. When asked what separates him-
self from the rest of the candidates, Mr.
Chiang responded with, Integrity and
getting the job done
In campaigns, youll hear a lot of
promises. Right now people are saying,
Were going to take on Donald
Trump, he said. Well, keep your
promise. We are leading the charge on
Donald Trump, whether its housing,
whether its building airports, whether
its providing healthcare.
In regards to LA Countys high home-
less population, Mr. Chiang notes that

housing plays a vital part, and Mr.
Trumps plan to eliminate activity bonds
is going to destroy two-thirds of afford-
able housing in California, he said. He
told the COURIER he was coming up
with new tools in regards to increasing
affordable housing, and pledged to work
with homeless groups across the state.
You want to be as efficient as possi-
ble with the appropriate agencies and
services and serve those who have men-
tal health issues who are homeless to get
the treatments they need to change the
trajectory of their lives, Mr. Chiang
said.
Mr. Chiang also noted he would bring

back redevelopment agencies, which
were shuttered under Governor Jerry
Brown.
Mr. Chiang noted he also put out a
comprehensive plan to combat sexual
harassment after a wave of revelations in
accusations in entertainment and gov-
ernment.
He noted his support for single-payer
healthcare, a break from the current gov-
ernor. He liked the idea of SB 562, which
was dropped earlier this year, but took
issue with its plan of taxing private edu-
cation. He said if the state were to tackle
single-payer, they would have to be hon-
est with the public about how much its
going to cost and whats going to be
raised to cover it.
My parents are from Taiwan, they
have single payer, he said. Its a great
system, but we also have to be honest
about how its going to work.
He also broke from the current gover-
nor in terms of increasing international
trade and wanted to be more aggressive
about financing higher education.
Aeris Stewart, a 17-year-old Clare-
mont High School student, asked Mr.
Chiang what he would do to protect
DREAMers as governor.
Mr. Chiang said the state is already on
the forefront on the fight to protect the
DREAM Act, and touched upon his own
immigrant experience in recognizing tal-
ent, no matter where it comes from.
We just want talented people in this
state, he said.
After the talk, Aeris noted she was im-
pressed with Mr. Chiangs response.
I wanted to hear his opinion of im-
migration and finance, she said. Im
really glad I did.

be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or
implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to

be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and ad-
vances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice
of Sale is: $ 344,736.42. 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. If the Trustee is unable to con-
vey 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 fur-
ther 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
OF TRUSTEE'S SALE NOTICE TO POTENTIAL
BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this prop-
erty 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 be-
ing 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 ti-
tle insurance company, either of which may charge you
a fee for this information. If you consult either of these re-
sources, you should be aware that the same lender may
hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this prop-
erty. 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, pur-
suant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The
law requires that information about trustee sale post-
ponements 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 In-
ternet Web site http://www.altisource.com/Mortgage-
Services/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices.aspx using
the file number assigned to this case 2017-01816-CA. In-
formation about postponements that are very short in du-
ration 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 post-
ponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. West-

TICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE NOTICE TO PO-
TENTIAL 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 en-
title 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 auc-
tion, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens
senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can re-
ceive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to in-
vestigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding
liens that may exist on this property by contacting the coun-
ty 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. NOTICE TO PROPERTY
OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may
be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, ben-
eficiary, 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.alti-

2014-02947-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

What Geoffs clients are saying . . .
We have recently completed our fifth transaction with Geoff Hamill over the past 20 years. Once again, he surpassed our expectations! Our
house sold quickly and well above asking price. Geoff's knowledge of Claremont and the surrounding area is superior, and he is a consummate
professional. He takes the time to answer even the smallest questions, and has a reassuring and calm demeanor. Because Geoff is a Claremont
native, he knows the history of what seems like EVERY house in town. Very entertaining!! Sadly, we have moved out of the area, but we are very
hopeful that we will get to work with Geoff again sometime in the future M. & E. Strange
Geoff Hamill was the agent for the sale of my Claremont Village home, and he made the experience pleasant and stress free. He and attends to
every detail of the listing and sale promptly, and I believe that he represented me as well as possible. Geoff was considerate and gave me good
advice for staging and preparing my home for sale. I believe his expertise and connections in my neighborhood and Claremont in general are the
best. I recommend him without reservation J. Spera & A. Conway
Over the past 19 years, Geoff has helped us buy or sell two homes in Claremont. What you hear and read about Geoff only tells part of the story.
Working with him as a buyer or seller will provide you with what it means to have a FULL service real estate professional. Geoff and is second to
none. We could not recommend him highly enough. J. & L. Romo
Geoff Hamill is the best in his business. In all areas he has the knowledge, foresight, experience and kind demeanor to guide you through an
easy and seamless real estate transaction. I highly recommend Geoff for all real estate needs!! D. & C. Hine
