one hundred and seventh year, number 42
Dear Editor:
I just came across the obituary for
James Elliott Maynard while reading the
Claremont COURIER. I remember him
as Mr. Maynard, my sixth grade school
teacher at Lincoln Elementary in
Pomona. The year was 1975, 40 years
ago, yet my memories from this school
year will be with me forever.
Mr. Maynard was a quintessential yet
unconventional educator. His passion,
about almost anything, was infectious.
Whether it was his dance classes (the
only activity I feared during the year) to
building model rockets, you couldnt
help but join him in a Jumanji-style immersion in the topic.
He let the class build forts around our
desks from cardboard boxes. He would
read books (that would never be allowed
in a sixth grade classroom now) with
such fire that the whole class would be
on the edge of their seats. Thinking back,
I cant believe how much we did during
a single school year.
I smiled when reading about him
learning lock pickingyes, he even
shared this with us, and I still remember
how to do it. I cant believe how much
we all learned in a single year. Some of it
even involved schoolwork. We danced at
the LA Fair. I hated itat the time. But it
was a confidence boost that would serve
many of us well through life.
Mr. Maynard is what all educators, in
any form, should strive to be. From formal classroom teachers to parents, passionkindnessthe joy of sharing in
the learning experience, these are lessons
we can all learn from.
Tomorrow I will be in front of a class
all day and will do my best to honor his
lessons that have stayed with me, and I

bet thousands of others. Thank you Mr.
Maynard!

A park for everyone
Dear Editor:
In the same way that I am heartened
when I go to Super King and see people
with clearly limited means filling their
baskets with fresh herbs and vegetables
because they are affordable, I also love to
see diverse families walking and hiking
in the Wilderness Park.
Please dont raise the parking fees that
may exclude such families from this
healthy and meaningful activity, and
please continue to call it a park.
Wilderness area sounds forbidding;
park sounds inviting. Thank you.

A more modest proposal
Dear Editor:
I will not vote for Measure PS. I am in
favor of an upgraded police station; however, the one currently proposed is too
large and expensive by about one third,
and there are various sites that are more
appropriate. Moreover, the parcel tax
system contains many complications that
make it unfair. A bond issue would be
better. A more modest proposal would indeed better meet our needs.

some relief from the depredations of the

Dear Editor:
Why are they planning to move the
police station to the pit on Monte Vista?
A lot of us like the police department
where it is, near the center of town.
It could use a little sprucing up, but I
dont believe the arguments that the
building is unsafe. If it is unsafe, it
ought to be closed immediately for the
safety of the employees. It hasnt been.
Why not?

CITY NEWS
Key city issues addressed at busy council meeting
he Claremont City Council approved three important resolutions

during a busy Tuesday night council
meeting.
The council voted on an agreement with La Verne to

manage the water system, had a reversal of an Architectural Commission decision regarding the Serrano II housing project and granted ticket-writing powers to the city
arborist.
State Assemblyman Chris Holden was on hand to kick
off the meeting with a legislative update, which outlined
the bills Mr. Holden has sent to the governors desk.
These included a bill that lengthens the statute of limitations for victims of human trafficking and another that
increases the rights of small business franchisees when
dealing with their corporate owners.
As your representative, its my top priority to serve
this community and to be responsive to your needs, Mr.
Holden said. It is indeed my honor to serve Claremont
in the state assembly, and I look forward to our continued
partnership.
Two of Tuesday nights votes were carried over from
the last meeting on September 22 after being postponed
due to two councilmembers absences. The items included approval of plans for the Serrano II housing project and the water deal with La Verne.
Development hits a bump, but moves forward
The Serrano II housing project, a proposed housing
tract near the intersection of Base Line and Mountain,
took center stage Tuesday as councilmembers and the
public worked through their issues with the development.
The project is the sister development of the Serrano I
project, which is currently under construction. It had
come under fire from members of the citys Architectural
Commission for what the commissioners characterize as
flaws and inconsistencies in design. During their meeting
on July 15, the commission voted 3-2-2 to deny the Serrano II plans.
City staff recommended reversal of the commissions
decision with a few changes tacked on: revising the second-floor window location so adjacent windows dont
look into each other, replacing the window trim of 10 of
the 40 units on the lot and changing the color of one of
the houses to better conform with the developments
color palette.
During the meeting, Mayor Corey Calaycay pointed
out that the architectural commission members who
voted against the Serrano II project were not on the commission when Serrano I was approved in 2013.
Prior to Tuesdays meeting, the resolution had been
delayed twice, once during the September 8 meeting and
again during the September 22 meeting.
On September 8 and Tuesday night, emails highlighting alleged violations to the citys housing elementa
state-required document that demonstrates readiness and
ability to provide low-income housingwere delivered
at the 11th hour to try to persuade the council to vote
against Serrano II. The emails, penned by Claremont resident Jacob Patterson, claimed the project violates the
citys existing housing element in regards to the percentage of affordable housing required for each development.
Claremonts housing element was approved by the
planning commission in January 2014. Amid outcry from
residents over the rumored development of low-income
housing on a 5.9-acre parcel on Mills Avenue, the city
council opted to send the housing element back to the
commission for further review.
With a February 15, 2014 deadline looming, the council was aware of the penalties, which included the city
having to review and resubmit again in four years instead
of the eight years afforded to cities that met the deadline.
The housing element does not require cities to actually provide low-income housing, it only says that cities
must prove to the state of California that they have the
available land to do so. Since that January 2014 meeting,

The council largely rejected the architectural commissions recommendations for changes to the proposed Serrano II development by builder DR Horton. The developer offered some changes, which included relocating
windows for privacy, as well as making the design more consistent with the existing development.

presentation during the Claremont City Council meeting. Mr. Holden was in town to give the community an
update on the laws he helped author during the previous legislative session.
the city and city council have not addressed the Housing
Element Update.
City Attorney Sonia Carvalho explained at Tuesday
nights meeting that although there is currently a lack of
a housing element, it doesnt mean the city cant approve development projects.
Councilmember Sam Pedroza, after expressing his dismay at the piecemeal development along Baseline, acknowledged the need to update the housing element. The
councilmember then criticized Mr. Pattersons letter, calling it threatening.
Now in the meantime, I say bring it on, sue us already. Stop making threats, Mr. Pedroza said. Especially with these last-minute emails that, theyre just
meant for complete inside baseball.
The resolution passed 4-1, with Councilmember Opanyi Nasiali casting the only dissenting vote.
Council takes action for water partner
The deal with La Verne is a crucial step toward the
citys ultimate goal of claiming eminent domain over the
water system, which is currently owned and operated by
the privately-held Golden State Water Company. A Los
Angeles County Superior Court judge will review the
eminent domain case on March 7, 2016.
Under the deal, Claremont would own the system and
cover billing and other expenses, while La Verne would
provide staffing and general maintenance. Under the
agreement, La Verne will be paid 10 percent of the $1.5

million allocated toward the water system, should Claremont win the eminent domain claim.
During public comment on the resolution, Claremont
resident Douglas Lyons expressed skepticism over certain parts of the La Verne deal, including a passage that
gives Claremont the job of maintaining service vehicles.
Why will Claremont be responsible for the acquisition, maintenance, repair and replacement of vehicles and
equipment used to operate and maintain the water system? Mr. Lyons said. As an experienced operator,
would not La Verne be able to accomplish these functions in a more timely and efficient manner?
The council passed the resolution with a unanimous
5-0 decision. La Verne passed its side of the agreement
during its city council session on September 21.
City arborist can issue tree fines
The third resolution on the agenda dealt with giving
the city arborist the power to issue tickets and fines to
Claremont property owners who are not properly maintaining city-owned trees.
Under the new resolution, Claremonters who are in violation will first be subject to a visit from city volunteers,
followed by a Notice of Violation and, if the person is
still not taking care of the trees, a fine ranging from $100
to $500 per day for as long as the person is in violation.
The resolution passed by a vote of 4-1, with Mr.
Nasiali the only dissenting vote.
Emotions run high
Measure PS, a measure that allocates $50 million toward building a new police station, was a hot topic during the public comments session. Two Claremonters,
Sayeed Shaikh and Frank Bedoya, offered impassioned
speeches on the need for a new police station in the city.
Mr. Shaikh, who serves on the citys police commission, claimed the current station is, pretty much on the
verge of being dilapidated, and urged the passage of the
measure.
Mr. Bedoya also encouraged Claremonters to pass the
measure. The time is now, the need is great, he said.
A woman, who did not give her name, fired off a rebuttal to the proposed measure, calling it tyrannical and
stupid and quoting numerous bible verses until her time
ran out.

CITY NEWS
CITY COUNCIL/from previous page
The public comments elicited a

strong reaction form the council, with
Mr. Pedroza offering up an idea to create an ad hoc committee dedicated to
informing the public about Measure PS
in the weeks before the election.
Councilmember Larry Schroeder also
offered his two cents on the steep cost of

the proposed public safety facility.
I can sit here and say the police station costs about half of that $50 million
and not include furnishings and radios
and LEED certifications and engineering and all the other costs, Mr.
Schroeder said. But were putting out
there what the top cost would be and
were putting everything out there.

Were doing the best we can to
make sure everyone has the information they need to have an educated
vote, Mayor Calaycay said. But nothing was done outside of the process. It
was very transparent, very open. It did
provide for people to provide feedback.
Mayor Calaycay added that the parcel tax, which has generated much of
the controversy, was voted on by the
people of Claremont as the best way to
finance the police station.
The council meets again on October
27.

the deed, he replied, I just have to go
really bad. When officers asked for his

EDUCATION
CUSD reaps real estate profits, invests in facilities
ith escrow closed on

the Claremont Unified School Districts old service centerthe
second piece of surplus property
the district has sold in recent
yearsCUSD is in a position to
begin addressing some longstanding facilities needs.
The former service center and CUSDs
previous district office were both purchased by D.R. Horton, in May of 2013
and February of 2012, respectively. The
two parcels have yielded the district
$10,993,974. That number is comprised
of the homebuilding companys two bids
minus expenses such as title and escrow
fees and brokers commissions.
CUSD has already used $7,700,603 of
that money on some pressing needs, according to a district release.
These include payment of $1.5 million
CUSD committed towards Claremont
High Schools Theatre Renovation Project. The money was used to buttress a
$1.5 million matching Career Technical
Education Grant from the state, helping to
fund the $3 million Don P. Fruechte Theatre for the Performing Arts that opened
in March 2015.
Surplus property sales funded construction of another building, the current
service center located on the Richard
Kirkendall Education Center site at 170
W. San Jose Ave. Completed in time for
the 2014-2015 school year, its an 8,400square-foot steel manufactured building
with a customized interior and a
$2,412,047 price tag.
A third building will be a bit smaller,
but has been much needed by Sycamore
Elementary School students and staff.
For years, Sycamores multipurpose
room has doubled as the schools library.
The district saw a way to provide the
school with a real library when Baldwin
Park Unified offered CUSD a free
portable building in August of 2013.
Baldwin Parks gift of the modular
building, which is worth $250,000, was a
boon. Still, there are considerable costs,
$369,243 in total, associated with outfitting it as a library.
The portable had to be moved from its
old school site to Sycamore, and an architect was hired to design the building
and get it approved. Electrical connections had to be run from one side of campus to the other and the buildings
subfloors had to be prepared in compliance with state regulations.
Craftsman Construction, the company
that won the bid on the project, has just
finished pouring concrete outside of the
building. Theyve gutted the interior of
the structure and will be painting soon.
Completion is expected as soon as 30
days, according to Rick Cota, CUSDs
executive director of facilities.
Up on the rooftop
Another item pushed to the forefront of
the districts priorities is a roofing project
at CHS, finished this summer at a cost of
$1,830,822.
COURIERphotos/
Following the sale of the former CUSD
service center, the district moved its
facilities operation to this 8500square-foot structure located on San
Jose Avenue at the Richard Kirkendall
Education Center.
AT LEFT: CUSD closed escrow on the
former service center site, bringing in
close to $11 million to the district
when combined with the previous sale
of the former district offices at Base
Line Road and Mountian Avenue.
The district has known for some time

that the roofs at the high school have a
tendency to leak, particularly because
most of the buildings feature flat roofs
which was the norm at the time the campus was designedon which water tends
to pool.
CUSD staffers and the board of education felt even more pressure to ward off
leakage because meteorologists predict
exceptional amounts of rain starting as
soon as November, Mr. Cota explained.
All school districts statewide have been
given a notice to prepare for El Nino, he
said.
The project, which he called pretty
major, included renovations recommended by a roofing consultant. A few
structures, like the music buildings, were
complete tear-offs, while others only required refurbishment. Drains were also
installed on a number of the roofs.
The company that undertook the project, Garland, has provided a 10-year guarantee for every roof it repaired, according
to Mr. Cota. That number is on top of
whatever time was left on the roofs previous warrantees.
Price of technology
With the implementation of the Com-
mon Core curriculum and its accompanying Smarter Balanced assessment, districts across the state have had to pour
quite a bit of money into technology.
Students are now tested on iPads online, with many groups of kids taking their
tests at the same time. This has required
CUSD to invest in infrastructure such as
new servers, according to Assistant Superintendent of Business Services Lisa
Shoemaker.
Ms. Shoemaker said the district has
also purchased iPads so students can take
tests and benefit from the educational opportunities afforded by tablets. Of the proceeds from the districts real estate deals,
$1,588,491 has been spent on instructional tech, which includes equipment and
hardware.
Eye on the future
There is still some money from the
property sales left in district coffers. The
question is what CUSD will do with the
remaining $3,293,371.
In recent months, Mr. Cota and his
crew reviewed a list of capital projects
priorities drawn up by district staffers
last year. Theyve also interviewed administrators and school staffs to find out
what facilities needs are considered most
pressing.
This past June, the facilities department
drew up a new, multi-million dollar list of
vital projects, with those that concern
health and safetyincluding Americans
with Disability Act complianceat the
top.
Among the high-priority items is the
modernization of the El Roble Intermediate School pool, which is currently
drained and not functional. The Claremont High School pool is also in need of
updating.
A study, which would cost $45,000, is
required before the district can determine
the scope of the potential pool projects.
For instance, CUSD would find out
whether renovating one or both of the
pools is likely to trigger ADA requirements with regards to the pool-adjacent
locker rooms.
CUSD has created a releaseavailable
on the district websitedetailing the
money the district has from the sale of the
two properties, how much of this money
has already been spent, and how much is
left. This kind of clear communication is
important, according to Ms. Shoemaker.
We want people to know that were
using the property proceeds effectively,
she said. I think that sometimes, to you
and I, $11 million feels like a lot of
money. But its a drop in the bucket when
it comes to the districts facility needs.

A tricky bag of treats

by John Pixley
h, Horror of Horrors! Oh, Terror

of Terrors! It is that time, that perfectly ghastly time, again! Yes, it
is that time of year when your night of
nights, when you rise up in all your ghoulish glory, approaches.
All Hallows Eve, that one night each year when
you reign and when your mad power is celebrated, is
drawing nigh, and, once again, I am most honored
and privileged to greet you on this auspicious occasion as your most humble minion and report to you on
the not-so-fair doings in the so-called fair town of
Claremont.
As is more often the case than not, oh, Master of
the Malignant, I am relegated to this not-so-prime
time, with Halloween being more than two weeks
away. Then again, as is the case here frequently, it
doesnt feel that much like Halloween, weather-wise,
anyway. It can often feel like Labor Day. In fact, as I
prepare this report for you, it is in the hundreds and
high 90s after some so-called pleasant cool days.
Hows that for a nifty trick? Indian Summer, indeed, with all the delightful political incorrectness
loaded in that old term. Besides, I prefer to think it an
honor to be one of the first in line to see you.
Actually, the weather has been a big issue here with
California now in the fourth year of drought and the
governor, in an unprecedented move, ordering a 25
percent cut in water use. Claremont had the added
embarrassment of having one of the highest rates of
water useright up there with Beverly Hillsand
had to cut its water use by something like 37 percent.
Anyway, there are many brown dead lawns, including
our prized parks. Everyone tries to put a smiley face
on this, saying that the lawns are golden(like the
Golden State, get it?), but I can tell you they look
wonderfully dreadful, even nightmarish.
Everyone is also worried about the trees. Despite
remarkable efforts to save them, including use of
slow-drip water bags, some trees are dying, and a few
observer
have had to be cut down. This is a big deal here, as
you know, oh, Amir of the Anxious. They really are a
touchy subject in this town. This spring, there was
some grumbling and bad-mouthing when the city
council allowed the parents of a severely disabled son
to remove two large trees in their front yard because
the pollen was giving the boy bad allergies. Never
mind that the parents are paying to have the trees replaced. Wow! Hows that for twisted priorities and
nastiness?
Theres a bit more bad news on the weather front,
youll be glad to hear. Everyone is looking forward to
the Godzilla El Nio that is predicted this winter.
But the thing is, this tropical rain system probably
wont bring the crucial slow-melting snow up north,
and it may well cause flooding, especially in the many
areas where there have been fire this year (caused by
the unusually dry, warm weather). But, anyway, experts are saying all this rain wont end the drought.
Do you really think that big international conference put on in June at Pomona College by John Cobb
and others about solving the climate change crisis will
get anything done? I thought not.
Speaking of water, oh, Prince of the Peeved, the citizens of Claremont did vote, by a huge margin, to buy
out the water company and manage its water supply.
But it will probably be years before this actually happens, with the Golden State Water Company fighting
it tooth and nail and the current court battle likely just
the beginning.
Whats more, there are still those who question the
venture, and its cost is a central concern to those now
against a property tax to fund a new police station on
the November 3 ballot. Dont you just love it when
people want thingspolice, control over water,
healthcare, you name itbut dont want to have to

pay for it?
It gets even more curious, oh, Czar of Contempt,
with Claremonters complaining about the Colleges,
even vowing to fight them. Yes, the Collegeswho
put this town on the map and present an astounding
array of performances and lectures in this small community (mostly for free)are now the big, bad
enemy. There was the letter in the paper a while ago
griping about the students and how they caused traffic
and congestion. Ghastly!
Lately, the grumbling has been about new buildings, particularly a new museum at Pomona College.
Never mind that the renderings, shown at a recent
community forum, look quite attractive and exciting
and could be a revitalizing addition to the Village
area. You would think it was a WalMart megastore.
One letter-writer stated it would violate the character
and destroy the history of Claremont if the museum
replaces a few small, pleasant but otherwise non-descript college-owned bungalows on the west side of
College Avenue. Nice how this street has become a
no-mans land, a battle line of sorts, at least south of
Fourth Street.
There are no doubt plenty of other things youd like
to hear about that have been going on here, like the
hot mess that the coveted Wilderness Park (or is it
Area?) continues to be, but I see my precious time
with you is just about up, oh Viceroy of the Vexed. So
Ill just mention one more thing. Perhaps it makes
sense, what with all this college-bashing, but I find it
quite curious that I keep reading in news reports that
this rabidly anti-immigrant group, We the People Rising, is based in Claremont.
Thats right. This group, which holds news-making,
confrontational demonstrations every chance it gets
like that anti-gay Westboro church group and aligns
itself up with the hate-spewing Donald Trump, is
headquartered right here in Claremont. Yes, right here
in this town, which is so proud of its welcoming, allhands-on-deck community spirit. Now theres a good,
creepy mystery for you to ponder.
DEMYSTIFYING SUSTAINABILITYpage 12
Colleges bound
Dear Editor:
I read in the September 25th issue of the
COURIER that the Claremont University
Consortium (CUC) has pledged $1 million
towards the costs of a proposed $50 million new public safety building (aka police
station) if Measure PS passes.
Whether one agrees with the proposed
cost for the buildings and improvements,
there is still a clear, demonstrated need
for a new police station to address the issues of the 21st century society.
On the surface this seems like a magnanimous gesture, but on further inspection it feels less than wholesome or altruistic.
Combined, the Claremont Colleges
or CUC (Harvey Mudd, Claremont
McKenna, Pitzer, Scripps and Pomona
Colleges, Keck Graduate Institute and
Claremont Graduate University) have endowments approaching $4 billion (based
on 2013 tax form 990 filings from the
schools).
Also, in 2013, the Colleges had combined net incomes of about $200 million.
All of this thanks to federal and state laws
that allow the schools to operate as nonprofit corporations. The universities are
exempt from taxes on this income and
pay no property taxes. In addition, buildings not directly related to educational
uses may also be exempt from property
taxes.
While there is no doubt that the Colleges enrich, and some might say make
Claremont what it is, the student population amounts to about 12.5 percent of
Claremonts total population most of the
year and relies heavily on a strong police
department and city/county public safety
services.
I think the $1 million should be con-
READERS COMMENTS
sidered as the Colleges first offer and

should be subject to further negotiation
with the city.
If I were on the Claremont City Council, I would say thanks for the offer, but
we think $6 million is a more appropriate
contribution. Heck, let them pay it off
over five to seven years, just like their
donors often do with their pledged gifts.
You dont have to have an advanced degree in mathematics to realize that this
equation does not compute.

Cost of the great outdoors

Dear Editor:
Hillside parks and open space serve
much the same purpose as beaches in
southern California. While not everyone
is fortunate to live close to one or the
other, they are resources that should be
available to all. Californians have long insisted that beaches be public and that access be guaranteed. We should demand
similar treatment for publicly-owned open
spaces in our foothills.
Research for the Master Plan of our
Claremont Hills Wilderness Park affirmed
two key points. First, both Claremont residents and neighbors from the region
enjoy the park. Second, while usage has
increased, it has not significantly damaged
the flora and fauna. Increased access has
not compromised the goal of preservation.
My concern is that access will instead
be limited by the proposed increase of
parking fees detailed in the draft. It is unlikely that raising daily fees from $3 to $5,
annual permits from $100 to $140, and
fees on weekend mornings to $10 will
generate more revenue for the park, as

promised. Rather, it will discourage those
of modest means from visiting the park altogether.
The draft plan claims that these fees are
in line with other area parks, but that is not
the case. In Orange County, an annual
parking pass for all county regional and
wilderness parks is $55, and one for all
county parks and beaches is $80. Daily
parking in wilderness parks is $3.
A more sensible approach would be to
leave daily parking fees unchanged and
consider lowering annual fees to boost
sales among regular users.

Parking problems
Dear Editor:
I like simple solutions. MIG consultants indicate that the Claremont Hills
Wilderness Park (CHWP) is not being
used at capacity. Visitors in the park are
not a problem. CHWP is a desirable destination and until there are other equally
desirable parks in the adjacent hillsides,
people will come to the CHWP, especially
the loop.
Visitors park their cars as close to the
loop entrance as possible but there is not
enough parking during peak hours on Saturday, Sunday and holiday mornings,
which results in disruption to neighbors
from visitors parking in front of or walking by their homes.
If we accept that people will continue
to enjoy the CHWP and we want to relieve disruption to adjacent neighborhoods, then the logical solution is to
provide sufficient, affordable parking

close to the loop entrance. Sufficient parking will minimize unnecessary driving in
search of or idling while waiting for
spaces. Revenues from parking fees will
support park amenities if the daily parking prices are affordable and annual parking passes easy to obtain at the park or
online.
The draft master plan suggests that fees
increase to $10 during peak periods. This
is likely to cause congestion as people
wait for hours with lower rates or avoid
fees by seeking to park in neighborhoods.
I encourage the city to aggressively investigate the use of overflow parking adjacent to existing parking lots. The
solution to neighborhood disruption is not
congestion pricing; it is sufficient overflow parking at affordable and consistent
prices.

A super-size station
Dear Editor:
I notice none of the letters and none of
the advertisements for Measure PS say
anything to justify the enormous cost and
size of the proposed police station. Do we
really need a police station the size of the
Super King market? I dont think so.
It is incomprehensible that this measure was actually placed before the voters.
I dont think the proponents can make an
affirmative case for their plan. If they can,
Id like to hear it. Its not about the problems with the existing police station, its
about the plans for the new one.
If the supporters cant do better than
this, Measure PS deserves to be voted
down.

The great outdoors

Dear Editor:
This response is in regard to Tony Hussons letter of October 9, Done with the
Wilderness Park. I am sorry there is such
bitterness in your mind.
In my many years of hiking the trail, I
have met some wonderful hikers from
many diverse backgrounds. We all agree
regular exercise built into our routine of
daily living makes for exceptionally
healthy aging. We hike with friends and
family to catch up on daily and worldly
news, and are thankful we live in an area
where we feel so safe. We all live nearby
and can escape the city life and noise within minutes.
The reason the trees, plants, insects,
birds and animals are feeling a wee bit distressed these days is more of a water issue than a people issue. Because I golf
every Tuesday, I know for a fact where all
the deer are hanging out. They have
wandered over to the Marshall Canyon
Golf Course where their water needs are
being met. They are lying under the trees
in the shade taking in all the funny
swings of the many golfers who pass by,
and they seem to be enoying life immensly. Hopefully, predicted coming
rains will bring some of them back to our
hiking area.
I would like to thank all the wonderful
people involved with the Wildlands Conservancy group who have spent countless
hours trying to preserve the park and finding solutions to problems that arise.
Life is good. Arent we lucky to live in
Claremont?

A Claremont park for Claremont

Dear Editor:
Tony Hussons October 9 letter highlights
the unforeseen problems that have come
from the acquisition of land for, and the creation of, the wilderness park. It has become
wildly popular. There is nothing like it in
the area. It seems to me there is a simple
solution to the problems.
Restrict access to the park, allowing only
Claremont residents to use it. We paid for
it and should be able to decide who can use
it. Require users to show proof of residency
then issue permits. Photo IDs would fa-
READERS COMMENTS
cilitate enforcement by park rangers. The

folks who are not citizens of Claremont will
be disappointed, but that should be of far
less concern than preservation of the park
and ensuring Claremont residents quiet enjoyment of it. Use could also be restricted
to hikers only, furthering the quietness aspects of this unique Claremont asset.

My love affair with diesel

Dear Editor:
Peter Coyes letter, Has VW forfeited
its rights? (Claremont COURIER, October 2) vents righteous anger toward VW for
their blatant cheating scandal. It remains to
be known how many other companies have
falsified their EPA data or devised escapes
from the current diesel testing standards and
procedures.
The light diesel engines used in cars
(TDIs) are inviting for many of us. But the
anti-diesel sentiment, especially in California, has been encouraged by the clever
technical deceptions committed by VW.
The accidental discovery of their tricking
the system may be the diesels demise.
Recalls and fixes for these TDI vehicles
will cost billions. The fixes will decrease
efficiency and performance, and increase
costs and diesel antagonism. In California,
especially, is this goodbye to efficient, relatively clean diesels? Of course, hybrids and
electric cars will be given a big market
boost. Tesla and others are going to smile
all the way to the bank. Electric and hybrid
big rigs are being tested now.
What galls me is that Im a hydrocarbon
addict in withdrawal. Ive driven diesels for
years, large and small. I love diesels, even
with their quirks and complications. I
havent bought a spark plug in 50 years.
Also, Ive used much less fuel per mile for
years than any of my gasoline-dependent
friends.
Im unhappy about the end of our current diesels, but Im assured it is for the best.
I grew up breathing particulates, from
smudging days to warming up cold,
smokey diesel rigs at 3 a.m. for a long run.
Im guilty of being a contributor to global warming. There ought to be a punishment
for those of us who have caused the ozone

hole. Ive inhaled fumes from Malathion
to diesel exhaust and, surprise, Im still here
at 82! But, I do have empathy for asthmatics
who suffer from all kinds of pollutants.
I now drive a 1995 Mercedes E300
diesel, having had no engine problems in
270,000 miles. It yields 28 mpg local and
up to 36 mpg freeway. Thats relatively
cheap driving. Of the seven diesel cars Ive
owned over the years, this car is the best
one Ive had. Diesels dont produce carbon
monoxide and their particulate emissions,
with the new low-sulfur fuels, are very low
percentages per volume of air. But the nitrogen problem is the challenge.
Ive used 60 percent caf waste oil, a bit
less power but cleaner. Rudolph Diesel used
peanut oil. He would be pleased. There isnt any car I could have driven for less money. Ive driven well over a million miles in
diesels. (Im guilty. Sorry about that.)
Mr. Coye, you refer to VWs rights.
What rights? I guess VW has the same
rights that any corporation has: to find ways
to increase profits to the maximum by any
meanslegal, hidden and marketable.
Corporation ethics are to make money and
pay optimum dividends. Thats capitalism.
VW got caught.
Diesels are probably moribund, even the
newly-engineered, cleaner, opposed piston,
two-cycle diesels (OPOCs) that are becoming available. Even this new diesel engine design is going to suffer from the current slap from VWs scheming ways.
Well all pay the price, because of prejudiced consumers and lying marketers.
Goodbye diesels? Millions of diesel bigrigs make our economy run, each one going 10,000 to 22,000 miles per month transporting what we consume and sell. Whats
next?
Alas, I lived during the celebration of the
internal combustion engine, but those
days are waning. Cant help it. Im a vehicle lover. Worse! I love diesels. But love
affairs are usually transient. Our affair with
the internal combustion engine is about
over. On the Road Again isnt romantic
any more.
Thats my lamentation for this week.

Reward our police

Dear Editor:
Claremont needs a new police station.
The current one is too old and too small.
All you have to do is to tour the police station to see how bad things are.
In considering whether to vote yes on
November 3, two important questions
need to be answered: Is the parcel tax the
fairest way to fund a new police facility?
And, two, would the new police station be
too large and too expensive?
If the voters had a general obligation
bond up for a vote, not all of those protected
by our police would have to pay for the
needed service. Nonprofits such as our Colleges and our churches would not be paying towards the costs of the new facility.
Their failure to contribute would be unfair
to the rest of us, as we all benefit by having police protection.
Individuals whose property is not covered by Prop 13 could very well see an increasing tax burden every two years due to
property value increases. A general obligation bond is the wrong choice to fund the
needed new facility.
The more difficult question is whether
the new building would be too large and too
costly. Yes, Claremont has twice the population it had when the original facility was
built. But public safety facilities now have
certain rules and regulations for earthquake
standards, jail requirements and Americans
with Disabilities, which would necessitate
a larger facility than one would think you
need.
The costs to build anything has gone up
dramatically. I am not an architect nor an
engineer nor do I pretend to be. The potential cost is up to $50 million. If someone can explain what could be cut from the
plan, I am ready to listen but otherwise we
should rely on the experts. Our city council should be trusted in this case to have chosen the least costly plan for what we
need.
The reality is that you get what you pay
for. A recent author of a letter referred to
Upland. Well, Claremont is 17.5 percent
less dangerous to live in than Upland, and
Upland has an incredibly high auto theft and
rape crime rate. Maybe, just maybe, some
newer equipment might help Upland.
Our police have been successful in protecting the residents of Claremont. People
move here with the expectation of living
in a safer community. We need to reward
our police by having a modern police station so that they can continue to do their job.
Our quality of life is enriched by having a
good police force that puts their lives on the
line every day. The least we can do is to plan
for the future and not be willing to let our
infrastructure crumble.

Best Possible Price Achieved, Every Time
Meticulous care and attention to detail
William Kroehler
11
OBITUARIES
Missionary educator, problem-solver

William Bill George Kroehler died
on Saturday, September 26, 2015 at his
home in Claremont. He was 84.
He was born on February 7, 1931 in
St. Louis, Missouri to Arthur and Clara
Kroehler, the fourth of five children.
His siblings included younger sister
Ruth, older brother Armin and older
sisters Lois and Eleanore, who died
when she was eight.
Bill came from a large extended family that included many pastors and missionaries. His father Arthur was a
pastor in Belleville, Illinois, a job he
followed with posts at churches in Fort
Collins, Colorado, Lyman, Nebraska
and Hardin, Montana where Bill graduated from high school. He played basketball and football in high school, and
continued to do so while attending
Rocky Mountain College in Billings,
Montana. He met his future wife La
Verne at the Billings Montana Church
of the Air, where he was part of a quartet for a radio broadcast.
Upon graduating with a degree in
English and a minor in philosophy, Mr.
Kroehler served for two years in the US
Army. After basic training, he was stationed at Fort Hollibird in Baltimore.
He married LaVerne during a furlough
on April 30, 1954. Mr. Kroehler had a
musical family and regularly joined his
sisters and brothers in song over the
years as his voice evolved from a fine
tenor to a rich bass. His marriage was
seen as having a practical side, his wife
shares, with the family declaring, Oh,
good. Weve got an alto. After the
Kroehlers honeymoon in Colorado,
Bill left for Camp Kobe in Japan. His
wife joined him seven months later.
After returning to the United States,
Mr. Kroehler got his teaching certificate and their daughter Jody was born
on October 4, 1955. They lived in
Scobey, Montana for two years, where

Mr. Kroehler taught English and social
studies. He was also the librarian, junior high basketball coach and high
school basketball referee. During their
time in Scobey, Bill and LaVerne also
lent their voices to the choir at the local
Methodist church.
In 1957 the couple moved to
Nashville, Tennessee where Bill got his
masters degree in foreign missions at
Scarritt College for Christian Workers
and their son Ty was born. Two years
later, the Kroehlers left for Japan where
for 42 years they served as missionaries
with the United Church of Christ. After
two years attending language school,
Mr. Kroehler began teaching at the Disciples of Christ-affiliated Seigakuin
Boys School.
Bills brother and sister-in-law,
Armin and Evelyn Kroehler, were also
missionaries in Japan along with Evelyns parents Gilbert and Cornelia
Schroer. The three families had summer
cabins in northern Japan at the missionary community of Takayama where

they vacationed and the cousins Ken,
Kaye, Jody, Ty, Iris, Margaret and
Christopher were able to be together.
Mr. Kroehler spent his time building
sand structures, playing chess with
Armin and working for the community
in various roles
In 1967, he began teaching at JoshiSeigakuin Junior College, a womens
school located north of Tokyo in Ageo.
Two years later, at age 40, Mr. Kroehler
became president of the college. Bill always enjoyed a good gadget and with
the acquisition of an early Macintosh
acquired the nickname kon kichi,
which means crazy for computers.
After 23 years as president of JoshiSeigakuin and head of the affiliated
kindergarten, he retired from that position and became head of the International Center, working with exchange
programs for students going to the
United States and other Asian countries
as well as Australia and England. Bill
was instrumental in establishing
Seigakuin International School
(SAINTS), a Japanese bilingual school
in Atlanta, Georgia. He was also active
with the ICYE, International Christian
Youth Exchange.
Mr. Kroehler was passionate about
physical and mental health, education
and working with people. He always
saw possibilities for problem-solving
for the good of all. At a time when
many colleges in Japan were reluctant
to admit students with special needs, he
accepted them, making changes in
campus facilities as they went along,
helping them to succeed.
If there was a possibility that he
could do a job, Mr. Kroehler accepted
the challenge, sometimes to the consternation of his colleagues. He drove
the kindergarten bus, pulled weeds and

cleaned up. He built toys and furniture
for his children, made repairs around
the house and washed the dishes. He
insisted on people correcting his Japanese, and corrected English manuscripts.
He wrote books, and made speeches.
He went to concerts, played with children and ran races, always with enthusiasm and grace.
After retiring to Pilgrim Place in
2001, Bill continued to work half-time
for the next five years as head of the International Center, dividing his time between Japan and the United States.
While at Pilgrim Place, he was active
as a volunteer at a local elementary
school and the Beta Center. He sang
with the chorale briefly, walked with
the race walkers, joined the many
hands movers and worked in furniture
and haberdashery.
Bill is survived by his wife LaVerne;
his daughter and son-in-law, Jody and
Clark Magnuson of Mercer Island,
Washington; his son and daughter-inlaw, Ty and Kyoko Corsten of Fountain
Valley; and his siblings, Armin (Evelyn) Kroehler of Honolulu, Hawaii,
Lois Kroehler of Silverdale, Washington and Ruth (Dave) Dyck of Lynden,
Washington. He also leaves his grandchildren Sky (Miriam), Terra, Ray and
Kaili as well as his great-granddaughter
Dax Olivia.
A memorial service will be held on
Sunday, October 18 at 3:30 p.m. in Pilgrim Places Decker Hall. A reception
will follow in Napier Center. In lieu of
flowers, donations may be made to the
Pilgrim Place Memory Care House
Fund or the Alzheimers Association.

Know your plastic

by Alexis Reyes
lastic is everywhere. With a quick

look around me, I see pens, mugs,
furniture, utensils, my keyboard
and even chewing gum. Yes, chewing
gum.
Plastic was invented in the late 19th century, but

due to war demands and increased technology, plastic
production soared from 20 million pounds produced
in 1927 to 650 million pounds in 1943. Thats a 3000
percent increase in less than two decades.
Today, Americans generate 33 million tons (or 66
billion pounds) of plastic each year. More than half of
that are plastics consumers use once and then toss
(think plastic wrapping, boxes, bags, twist ties, etc.).
And of the total, only nine percent of the plastic waste
was actually recovered for recycling. The large majority of plastics end up in the landfill, where it takes
500 to 1,000 years to degrade.
If you expand this view globally, where waste management systems lack, approximately 17 billion
pounds of plastic is currently floating in the oceans.
These plastics collect in ocean gyres (circular currents), which create giant plastic islands under the
surface of the ocean. These islands can grow as large
as the size of the entire United States.
In case this wasnt enough to persuade you to be
plastic-conscious, lets talk human and animal health.
Plastics with resin ID codes #3 (PVC-shrinkwrap,
Demystifying
SUSTAINABILITY
food packaging, toys), #4 (LDPE-plastic bags for produce, bread and trash), #7 (BPA and BPS-reusable
water bottles, jar lids) have been known to release
trace amounts of chemicals that can disrupt our endocrine systemmood, growth and development,
metabolism, sexual function and reproductive
processes, to name a few.
Scientists have found that these chemicals have
disrupted the endocrine system of wildlife animals,
causing cancer, genital deformations and infertility in
many species, such as polar bears, deer, whales and
otters.
Plastic #6, polystyrene (styrofoam), is known to
leach styrene, which can damage your nervous system and is linked to cancer. Levels of chemical leaching increase when plastics are heated (hot coffee or
tea in cups, hot food in take-out containers) and with
foods that are fatty, salty or acidic.
So, are you convinced that we should be more plastic-conscious? I am! Use these tips to start reducing
your plastic consumption today.
Use (and remember to bring) reusable shopping
bags at any store (not just the grocery store). Go bagless for produce. 500 billion plastic bags are used
globally every year.

Fill reusable (glass, ceramic, aluminum) water
bottles and store in the fridge. Americans throw away
35 billion plastic water bottles every year.
Avoid purchasing single-serving foods and other
packaging with excess plastic. Opt for childrens toys
that are plastic-free. Check out
LifeWithoutPlastic.com, which sells common products that are made without plastic.
Refuse plastic straws, drink lids and utensils.
Bring your own reusable utensils for school/work
lunches.
If you must use plastic, choose #1 (PETE) or #2
(HDPE), as these are the most-commonly recycled
plastics. Avoid plastic bags and styrofoam, which
have the lowest recycling rates.

Young Claremonter is a hit covering national politics
mericas newest hotshot journalist

is still in middle school. Sammy
Buch, 12, received an opportunity
any aspiring reporter would only dream
of: a chance to cover the first Democratic
debate of the election year. It was an experience of a lifetime for the El Roble student.
It was really really cool, Sammy said. I had a
great time.
Sammy is a part of a new program called Kid
Scoop Media, which gives youngsters the opportunity
to experience what its like to be a real journalist in
the field. Kids in the program have covered music
festivals, interviewed dignitaries and even met with
Vice President Joe Biden.
Sammys involvement with the program happened
purely by chance, according to his father, Paul Buch.
We went out for ice cream and there was an Italian caf ice cream shop in Culver City, Mr. Buch
said. Sitting at one of the tables was a woman that
our friend knew. In conversation, she reveals her organization, Kid Scoop Media. He was immediately
attracted to the possibility of doing that.
Once Sammy signed up with the program, it was
only a matter of time before Kid Scoop Media could
grab some credentials. He was initially asked to go to
the second Republican debate in Simi Valley, but
Sammy had to decline due to a scheduling conflict.
When he was offered a chance to go to Las Vegas
for the Democratic debate, Sammy and his father
jumped at the opportunity.
Once his credentials came through the previous
Friday, Sammy and his father booked a flight to Las
Vegas. They had to arrive early; check-in time was 1
p.m., nearly five hours before the debate started.
Once checked in, Sammy was directed to his very
own spot in the sprawling media room at the Wynn.
It was interesting how different it was than I actually thought it was going to be, Sammy said. I
thought it was going to be a lot of hectic typing the
entire time, but there was a lot of photo editing.
Sammys presence among the seasoned media elite
did not go unnoticed by other reporters, according to
Sammys father.
He got interviewed on camera to see what its like
to be a 12-year-old boy in the midst of all this national craziness, Mr. Buch said.
After the debate, Sammy was given the opportunity
to work the floor. He talked to staffers from the
Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton campaigns about
gun control. He had quick conversations with two
well-known celebrity journalists, Chris Matthews of
MSNBC and Don Lemon of CNN (Sammy considers
Mr. Lemon a personal hero).

Claremont resident Sammy Buch, 12, traveled to Las Vegas where he attended the Democratic candidate debate as a student journalist with the organization KidScoopMedia.
But the post-debate scrum proved to be a little exhausting for Sammy. I was really tired. It was like 10
oclock at night, he admitted.
Eventually, he came face-to-face with an actual
presidential candidate, Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island. With a bonafide candidate willing to talk to him,
Sammy asked a tough question.
I asked [Mr. Chafee] why he thinks he should be
the president, Sammy said. And he said its a combination of his experience of being a mayor, going up
all the way through the ranks, and him not having any
scandals or anything like that.
It was a good answer to a great question.
Now that he has the experience of a true journalist,
it seems Sammy may have caught the reporting bug,
one that many of us at the COURIER know all too
well.
I think I would love to be a journalist when I grow
up, Sammy said. Im kind of deciding what area of
journalism. I like politics a lot, but I dont know
specifically what kind of journalism I want. But journalism is really interesting.
Mr. Buch, who has a degree in journalism, sees a
lot of himself in young Sammy.
I think he has a natural feel for it, Mr. Buch said.
But hes also into science. His ambition up until
[Tuesday] was to go to Harvey Mudd. Lets see if
thats changed.

R.S.V.P. LOS ANGELES:

The Project Series at Pomona
he Pomona College Museum of

Art exhibition R.S.V.P. Los Angeles: The Project Series at
Pomona celebrates the milestone of 50
Project Series exhibitions by connecting
the extraordinary artists who have been
part of the program with a new generation
of artists based in the Los Angeles area.
The exhibition features seven artistsJustin Cole,
Michael Decker, Naotaka Hiro, Wakana Kimura, Aydinaneth Ortiz, Michael Parker and Nikki Pressley
and is unified by a unique curatorial process.
With these artists, the exhibition captures the dynamism of the southern California art scene, while
further extending the Project Series impact on the
arts community. The exhibition is accompanied by a
publication, designed by Kimberly Varella of Content
Object, contextualizing the art of the late 20th and
early 21st century in Los Angeles through the lens of
the Project Series. The book includes two new contextualizing essays by Terri Geis and Rebecca McGrew, and essays on each of the seven artists by Lisa
Anne Auerbach, Terri Geis, Doug Harvey, Kathleen
Howe, Ms. McGrew, Nicolas Orozco-Valdivia,
Glenn Phillips, Valorie Thomas and Sarah Wang. All
artists will engage with students and elements of the
curriculum in a variety of ways during the exhibition.
Visit pomona.edu/museum/ for a listing of lectures.
Created by Ms. McGrew, Pomona College Museum
of Art senior curator, the Project Series focuses on
emerging and under-represented southern California
artists. Its intent is to bring to the Pomona College campus art that is experimental and that introduces new
forms, techniques or concepts. The Project Series has
enhanced the Museums role as a laboratory for exploring innovative, cross-disciplinary collaborations and
ideas and as a catalyst for new knowledge.
The exhibition will be on display at Pomona College Museum of Art through December 19.

Me and My Skeleton
My skeleton is made of boneslots of them, I know.
They're in my arms and legs, and my fingers and my toes.
My skeleton holds me up, so I can walk and run
And do lots of other things that are so very fun.
My skeleton keeps growing right along with me.
I never want to lose it, 'cause then where would I be?

companions Mrs. Which and Mrs. Whatsit,
Mrs. Who brings Meg, Charles and their
athletic friend Calvin on an adventure
around the galaxy.

cube-like figures that lead to another dimension. On their way, they encounter
good and evil. Will they find their dad?

CHS on hot streak as teams beat up competition
hat is happening with Claremont High School sports? The

football team is undefeated,
boys water polo is ranked number-one,
cross country is on a tear and now girls golf
is having their best season ever.
The girls, 7-6 overall, added another victory on Tuesday, narrowly defeating visiting Ayala, 214-217, at Marshall Canyon Golf Course. In the process, the Pack set a
new low score for their home course.
Allison Gallegos led the charge
SPORTING
with 40 strokes on the 36 par nineLIFE
hole course. Not far behind was
Vanessa Lopez at 41, Maryn Santiago at 42 and Sally
Wang at 44. Rounding out the teams score was Ivana
Kovac at 47 and Juliana Gomez at 51.
Top Ayala performances came from Kelly Lee at 41
and Anisha Choi at 43.
Claremonts changing fortunes are partly the result of
Gallegos, who has become the top-seeded player although she is just a junior.
While some fall sports are in their second week of
league play, golf is almost done with its season because
it must finish before the end of daylight savings time. As
a result, the season starts just after Labor Day and proceeds at a torrid pace so that the Pack can play each of the
seven other teams in the league.
We have the best team weve ever had, said Coach

great number-one players but weve been

solid all across the boardlike the tournament we played yesterday, everyone
was within 10 strokes.
As they go into their final match of the
season against Chino Hills on Thursday
the Pack is tied for third and headed to the
CIF tournament for the first time in the
teams history.
With no seniors and an up-and-coming
freshman in Wang, next season promises
to be strong as well.
Next week, the rapid pace continues
with Palomares League prelims at Los
Serranos Country Club in Chino Hills,
followed by league finals at Western Hills.
The team returns to Los Serranos the following week for CIF.
HIGH SCHOOL ROUND-UP
CROSS COUNTRY

at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said
County, California describing the land therein as: AS
MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF
TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold
as is. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 3184 FALLOW FIELD DRIVE,
DIAMOND BAR, CA 91765-3477 The undersigned
Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of
the street address and other common designation, if any,
shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant
or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal
sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with
interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if
any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees,
charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts
created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the
unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses
and advances at the time of the initial publication of this
Notice of Trustees Sale is estimated to be $780,934.53
(Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued
interest and advances will increase this figure prior to
sale. Beneficiarys bid at said sale may include all or
part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will
accept a 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, savings association or savings bank specified
in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and
authorized to do business in California, or other such
funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event
tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustees Deed Upon Sale until
funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a
matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes
all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any
reason, the successful bidders sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and
the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding
on this property lien, you should understand that there
are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You
will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the
property. You should also be aware that the lien being
auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible
for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned
off, before you can receive clear title to the property.
You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this
property by contacting the county recorder's office or a
title insurance company, either of which may charge
you a fee for this information. If you consult either of
these resources, you should be aware that the same
Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of
Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The
sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the
California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not
present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your
sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the
rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property,
you may call In Source Logic at 702-659-7766 for information regarding the Trustee's Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information
regarding the sale of this property, using the file number

immediately be reflected in the telephone information or

considering bidding on this property lien, you
should understand that there are risks involved in
bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding
on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the
highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of
the property. You should also be aware that the
lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If
you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are
or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can
receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and
size of outstanding liens that may exist on this
property by contacting the county recorders office or a title insurance company, either of which
may charge you a fee for this information. If you
consult either of these resources, you should be
aware that the same lender may hold more than
one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale
date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section
2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the
public, as a courtesy to those not present at the
sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date
has been postponed, and, if applicable, the
rescheduled time and date for the sale of this
property, you may call 888-988-6736 for information regarding the trustees sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com ,
using the file number assigned to this foreclosure
by the Trustee: CA-14-615569-AL . Information
about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled
sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.
The best way to verify postponement information
is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned
Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common
designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be
obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is
unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy
shall be the return of monies paid to the
Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have
no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for
any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be
entitled only to a return of the deposit paid.
The Purchaser shall have no further recourse
against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the
Mortgagees Attorney. If you have previously

Project Location: The project area (also Plan Area

Pomona College in the City of Claremont, County of
Los Angeles, California. The campus of Pomona College is approximately 140 acres, and is roughly

Amherst avenues on the east.
Project Description: The proposed project consists of
a long range Master Plan for planned future improvements to the Pomona College campus over a period of
15 years from the date of City approval of the Master
Plan, plus associated actions. The broad parameters of
the Master Plan may be summarized as follows:
Enrollment increase of 50 students (from 1,590 to
1,640 students), a net increase of 26 student beds on
campus (from 1,534 to 1,560 beds), an increase of 30
faculty (from 192 to 222 faculty), and an increase of
30 staff (from 495 to 525 staff)
Removal of up to 126,700 gross square feet of existing facilities and construction of up to 608,200 gross
square feet of new facilities, for a net increase of
205,400 gross square feet of structural development
A net increase of 18 on-campus parking spaces
Campus lot coverage would increase from approximately 16% to approximately 18%
Pedestrian and bicycle improvements to improve
safety and clarify pedestrian and vehicular circulation
patterns
New and remodeled open spaces such as courtyards,
plazas, walkways, streetscapes, and landscaping
Significant new information in the Recirculated Draft
EIR includes:
Relocation of Renwick House to accommodate construction of the new Pomona College Museum of Art
project, and demolition of the rear structure
Incorporation of information relating to a sewer study
currently being prepared by the City, which has found
existing and expected future capacity deficiencies in
sewer lines serving Pomona College

September was another consistent month for Claremont home sales with no major drops or rises in sales numbers. Though the news broke in mid-September, perhaps the announcements from the FED that they would not
be raising rates had something to do with it. I recently saw interest rates for a 30-year loan just below four percent, which is still incredibly low and highly motivating for one looking to purchase right now. Inventory of available properties ended around 100 homes by the end of the month, which is typical for this time of year. Prices
were up quite a bit compared to last September, but a larger sample size would be a better indicator of actual
percentage increase in property values. The Year End Report will shine a much brighter light on the true increase. I believe as long as the FED keeps the rates where they are, we will continue to see a strong and steadily
rising real estate market.

The recent sale of our Claremont home presented some very

unique challenges. Carlos and Pat handled my former home
as if it were their own. They kept me informed,
responded with professionalism and reassurance, and made
sure that as their customers, my ex-husband and I were their
top priority. The house ended up selling for higher than
asking price. I recommend Carlos and Pat Samuelson with
complete confidence and a heart full of gratitude.
