As usual, Mr. Darrows work can be found on page 6 of this edition of the Claremont COURIER. And photos from Mr. Darrows exhibit opening can be found on page 11. Public notice bill axed in committee You may remember from a previous column the AOL/Patchsponsored bill AB 642, which was an attempt to classify California Patch websites as newspapers so they could publish (and get the revenue from) public notices. The bill would have eliminated the requirement to publish in print. There was a reason Patch sponsored this bill. It was literally tailored for their online business. Ive already gone into details, but the local Democratic Club ought to note a freshman assemblyman wrote it (Anthony Rendon, D-Bell) given this was a classic big business against small business scenario. In our decades of experience, we have found that because public notices are legal documents with specific publishing requirements, they need to be published in print. With most newspapers, they are published online, too. Since this bill would largely impact community newspapers, the California Newspaper Publishers Association (CNPA) worked hard to reach a compromise by creating a website specifically designed to publish the states public notices (capublicnotice.com). This seemed to satisfy other committee members in the assembly involved with the bill. So its been tabled for this year. Im sure revenue-starved AOL/Patch believed these notices should be online, given the digital age. The reality is, most notices were already posted online by individual newspapers. What isnt being said is that AB 642 would also have wiped out a large percentage of Californias community newspapers that count on this critical source of revenue. These community newspapers (with their websites) are also direct competitors of Patch websites. So this bill would literally have been a win-win for AOL.

ven though I know Paul Darrows work has graced the COURIER pages for longer than I can remember, its been 20plus years since we spoke in person.
As I recall, we met with my father Martin, when Mr. Darrow hand-delivered his work directly to the COURIER office. I remember little about the actual meeting (other than we shook hands), but it was easy to see why this editor and artist got along so well. Humor and/or politics have a way of connecting people, and it certainly was the case here. My father was not known for his conservative thinking, so Mr. Darrows liberal take on politics fit right in. But it was humor that bonded them, prompting enormous laughs in what seemed to be an ongoing conversation. Humor is why the COURIER has published Darrows cartoons for decades. Whats ironic, however, is my favorite Darrow work is a lifelike portrait of Martin Weinberger as a young man, bowtie and all. It sits in our study at home next to his old typewriter. Fast-forward to 2013 and here I stand next to Mr. Darrow at his gallery opening last Friday, taking pictures, listening to my wife tell him, Its Martins son! Its Martins son! Some people have been known to call me Peter. It was great to shake Mr. Darrows hand once again. As I followed him through the crowd, even at 91 years, it was easy to see that personality and sense of humor my father connected with.

New construction will help, yet hinders Peppertree businesses
he Peppertree Square Shopping Center is hopping, though tenants will admit much of that activity is happening in front of their shops rather than within.
Fences went up around the business complex in February as construction crews began to re-grade parking, remodel existing buildings and create space for 2 potential anchors to the center, possibly a grocery or drugstore. Shops have remained open despite the deluge of construction, with limited parking provided to the rear of the center and a jungle of chainlink fences protecting the pedestrian pathways from busy service trucks and tractors. While customers and shop owners alike have welcomed the work, happy to see long-awaited changes to Peppertree, businesses have borne the brunt. As the south Claremont shopping center bustles with construction, shopkeepers try to hold on despite admittedly slow sales. Its already been 3 months, whats another month? Maribel Rosales, the owner of Yum Yum Donuts, shrugged. Though her statement might suggest shes unconcerned, Ms. Rosales asserts construction has been a daily challenge for her business. Foot traffic has dropped from about 2000 customers a week to about 1500 or 1600, Ms. Rosales estimates. She adds that though donuts are made fresh every morning, they are lucky to sell 100 donuts in a day: Sales are bad, she recognized. Jose Jimenez, store manager of the Subway restaurant in the middle of the complex, is having similar troubles. He estimates that employees dish out about 50 sandwiches for customers a day, as compared to volumes upwards of 150 in days before construction began. Mr. Jimenez has had to cut back on shifts and scaled back on store hours because of how sluggish

business has gotten. Though the flow of customers has definitely slowed since construction crews appeared, Mr. Jimenez says he embraces the temporary lull as a necessary evil as the center gets a much-needed fix. He noted that, in general, business has been declining for years, ever since the CVS drugstore first pulled out of the shopping center. In years following, Peppertree has lacked the ability to get any business to commit to
being the complexs anchor store. Tim S., an employee of the smoke shop next door to Subway, attributes the lack of an anchor at Peppertree to the marketplaces dilapidated appearance. It looked like a prison, he said. Just really old. Work is underway to give Peppertree the warm and inviting look that the shop owners seek along with 2

Friday, May 3 It took 3 tasings to get a Sycamore Avenue resident, with countless pills of Valium in his system, to cooperate with police on Friday afternoon, according to Detective Robert Ewing. Police say the man became argumentative and combative, forcing use of the taser. He was taken to a hospital for treatment and a mental evaluation. Saturday, May 4 Ryan Crabb, 32, of Los Gatos, likely didnt expect police to respond to his pleas for help, called out from a set of bushes in the front yard of a residence in the 1200 block of Yale Avenue. To make matters more awkward for Mr. Crabb and police, he was found wearing nothing but a pair of underwear. Mr. Crabb claims his friends had stolen his pants as a joke and that he was unable to find the troublemakers, even though they were a mere feet away from him as he told the story, according to Det. Ewing. Mr. Crabb had apparently had too much fun while visiting a friend at Harvey Mudd. He was arrested for public intoxication and held until sober. **** A rooftop party was all planned atop a business in the Claremont Village on Saturday, unbeknownst to the shops owner.
POLICE BLOTTER
Four unopened bottles of liquor, including a bottle of Sailor Jerry rum, were found on the roof of Sonja Stump Photography, but whoever brought the booze didnt stick around for the festivities. Details surrounding the bottles appearance are unknown. A report was taken. **** A Packing House employee and guest were targeted in separate Packing House basement car thefts last weekend. Both cars were broken into between 5 and 8 p.m. with one targeted on Saturday, May 4 and the next the following day. The employee told police she was unsure if her car was unlocked, though she alleged that her car doors lock automatically after a matter of minutes. The visitors truck was entered through a rear window with a broken lock. There are no suspects at this time. Sunday, May 5 Ashley Hernandez-Real, 22, of Fontana, came out of the scene of a severe solo crash unscathed Sunday night. That is at least physically. Police found Ms. Hernandez-Real inside her car, which had crashed against a light pole on the west side of Indian Hill at Arrow Highway. The impact of the crash had caused the light pole to split and fall on the roof of her car, mere inches from her head, according to Det. Ewing. Appar-
ently unfazed, Ms. Hernandez-Real allegedly complained that police should have been searching for a man who had supposedly cut her off, causing the collission, instead of dealing with her crash. Whether or not her allegation was true, police found Ms. Hernandez-Real to be driving with over the legal limit of alcohol in her system. She was arrested for drunk driving. Monday, May 6 Ronald King, 49, of Rialto, decided to make a game of lunch hour traffic in the 300 block of Indian Hill. Mr. King was seen screaming and yelling as he stepped in and out of the roadway. His afternoon amusement was egged on with a drink from the bottle, according to police. Mr. King was found under the influence of alcohol and arrested for being drunk in public. He was also arrested for an outstanding warrant for failing to appear in court for a previous violation. Tuesday, May 7 Two homeowners experienced close calls on Tuesday. Police were contacted around 10:45 a.m. regarding a burglary alarm that had gone off in a home in the 3800 block of Williams Avenue. Police arrived and found a shattered glass panel on the residences front door. However, entry to the home had not been made. Police dusted for fingerprints but none were recovered. No one had been at home dur-
ing the incident and there were no witnesses. While no one was home on Williams Avenue, an 18-year-old was present in the 500 block of South Indian Hill Avenue when a crook attempted to break into his home. The teenager waited until the man left before contacting his mother, who then called police. Officers found a series of pry marks on the door, suggesting the man was attempting to break into the home. The suspect is described as 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing 170 pounds. He was wearing a dark gray hooded sweatshirt at the time of the incident. **** Fifty-six-year-old Stanley Shell was forthcoming with police on Tuesday night. Employees of Chevron/McDonalds, 860 S. Indian Hill Boulevard, called police around 9:30 p.m. because Mr. Shell had allegedly been causing some problems. The Rialto resident refused to leave the establishments bathroom and then challenged an employee to a fight. When officers arrived, they noticed Mr. Shell stumbling and at one point falling on the floor. When he admitted to being under the influence of alcohol, police asked how much he had to drink. A lot, Mr. Shell replied. Police questioned further as to what type of alcoholic beverages he had consumed. Mr. Shells response? All of it. He was arrested for public intoxication. Beth Hartnett

Council to debate merits of sanitation fee increase

On Tuesday, May 14, the Claremont City Council will review a proposal to implement a citywide sanitation increase to make up for budgetary shortfalls. The discussion takes place at 6:30 p.m. at the City Council Chamber, 225 W. Second St. According to city policy, a minimum of 15 percent of the Sanitation Fund must be set aside for emergency or maintenance use. A recent review of fiscal year 2013-2014 finances revealed that needed vehicle replacements and other operational costs would put the Sanitation Fund below the required 15 percent minimum. To make up for the shortage, city officials propose a 2 percent increase in sanitation fees. Claremont residents living in a single-family home with a 35-gallon refuse container would see their bill rise from $19.84 to $20.23 per month, according to city staff. Those with one 64 gallon, one 94-gallon or two 94-gallon containers will see monthly bill increase $0.60, $0.47 and $0.13, respectively. On April 15, the citys parks, hillsides and utilities committee unanimously approved the rate hike with potential inflationary adjustments in the next 4 years subject to evaluation and approval by the city council. The community and human services commission added a second positive recommendation at its meeting on Wednesday night. The council will have the final say. Claremont residents are invited to provide their input. For information regarding the proposed fee adjustments, contact the Community and Human Services Department at 399-5431.

District reviews graduation requirements, ponders changes
he Graduation Committeewhich includes teachers, staff, parents and students from Claremont High School, El Roble Intermediate School and elementary schools throughout the CUSD NEWS Claremont Unified School District has been meeting throughout the year to assess the districts graduation requirements.
A few weeks ago, these district stakeholders came up with some recommendations, which were shared, for informational purposes only, at the May 2 CUSD board meeting. The Graduation Committee has been mulling over 4 key questions. The first is whether CUSD should change its graduation requirements to reflect the so-called A-G requirements. These are the minimum academic course requirements high school students must satisfy to be eligible to apply for freshman admission to UC/CSU. They include 15 yearlong courses in 7 subject areas, which students are required to pass with a grade of a C or better. These requirements include 4 years of college preparatory English; 3 years of math, covering algebra, geometry and intermediate algebra; 2 years of laboratory science; 2 years of history/social science; 2 years of a foreign language; a year of visual and performing arts, plus an additional year in any of the above areas or an approved elective. The Graduation Committee looked at pros and cons attached to adopting A-G requirements for all graduating CUSD students, a move that some school districts in the state have already undertaken. Chief among these is that the district would like to see as many students as possible ready and prepared for a 4-year school upon graduation. Ultimately, however, the committees consensus is that adopting A-G requirements would be a bad idea, because it would lessen the graduation rate considerably. Not every student is in the same space academically and developmentally, and not every student has the ability or the opportunity to go on to a 4-year school. The matter is closed and will likely not
be brought before the school board again, according to Bonnie Bell, assistant superintendent of educational services. The Graduation Committee also discussed whether or not to add another option for students with regards to the current requirement that they take one year of either a year of visual/performing arts or foreign language. Under the recently-passed Assembly Bill 1330, the states Ed Code specifies that, beginning in fall of 2012, districts may choose to adopt a career technical education (CTE) course as an optional high school graduation requirement. A number of CTE courses are currently offered at CHS, including automotive, stage technology, virtual enterprise and work experience and sports medicine among others. Dozens of other CTE optionslike floral design, airport careers and criminal justice, etc.are offered through Baldy View ROP, a technical education consortium that includes Claremont. The committees recommendation that a CTE option be introduced will likely be brought before the board at their May 16 meeting. Should they approve the recommendation, it would be introduced for the graduating class of 2015. Students who wish to go on to CSU or UC schools will still need to fulfill the more stringent A-G requirements, taking 2 years of a foreign language and one year of art. A number of high-achieving students made a case for eliminating the technology and health requirements because it can be difficult for a student with a rigorous schedule of Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate courses to fit these semester-long classes into their schedules. They also noted they are reluctant to take courses that are not classified as AP or IB because such courses do not have a weighted GPA, asserting that these requirements cause their GPA to go down. Without a clear consensus with regards to the removal of the requirements, discussion with regards to health and technology courses will likely continue, starting with study sessions in the summer and fall, Ms. Bell said. The soonest these matters would be brought before the school board would be midway through the 2013-2014 school year.

spacious pads to lure the anchors to the center that they hold out hope for. Until then, Tim maintains they will just have to deal with the challenge of customers who just dont want to deal with the maze. Its a hassle, he acknowledged.
The hassle hasnt kept all from venturing out to Peppertree. Isaac Nuez says he has made no changes to his ritualistic routine of pizza nights at Little Caesars with sons Isaac, Jr. and Matthew. The construction is not a problem in the slightest, he proclaims.
For those who do mind manuvering through the mess, construction will not be an issue much longer. Preliminary work is near complete, according to Assistant City Manager Colin Tudor. He says Peppertree tenants and customers can expect to see the fences removed by June 1, though Steven Simpson, a construction worker engaged in the Peppertree renovation project, believes the fencing may be gone even sooner.

Hollywood, right in our own backyard

by Jan Wheatcroft
rent we a lucky city to have our very own film festival, now in its fifth year? The 5 Second Film Festival began as a spark in the mind of Vince Turner, the chancellor of The Claremont Community College, which sponsors the festival. (In another reality Vince teaches at Cal Poly and at Cal State Fullerton.)
In 2009, Vince and 2 other Community College Deans, Judy Hopf and Curt Dale, figured that since we have a theater in town, lets have a film festival. After booking one of the theaters for 2 hours the first year, and putting a notice in the COURIER advertising for films, they found their first 2 films (for 4 minutes in total) and only needed to fill the rest of the 156 minutes. They finally found enough films to fill the time slot and that first year Vince stood in the lobby wondering if anyone would show up. They did. All 125 theater seats were sold out. The Claremont Community College (CCC) was born in Some Crust Bakery. Due to the fact that Claremont is a college town, everything seemed to be college-oriented. The group that hung out daily eating pastries, sliders, toast with peanut butter and drinking coffee and lattes added another college to the town with the purpose of being a fundraising organization. Although not an operating university, the CCC, as an established 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, funds charitable events and provides social and artistic events throughout the year, including film lectures and an Oscar night party. The major charitable event is at Christmas, when the organization hosts its annual Secret Santa Evening, providing dinner, presents and festivities for over 160 children and their families at the Citizens Business Bank Arena. (Originally this began with a single family of 13 children). The 5 Second Festival films selected come from a variety of sources. By the second year Steven Anderson, local film and TV actor and acting teacher/coach, took over the position of film submissions and artistic direc-
tor. People are invited to submit films but he also seeks out films as well, even inviting Academy Award film entrants along with student entries. This provides an enriching balance for the festival. All films must meet legal standards. This often provides a problem for high school student films when they use copyrighted music to accompany the film. All work must be totally original throughout the whole process. The rules of selection include the film length, which is up to 15 minutes but there have been a few at just 5 seconds. The films are reviewed and selected by the festival submissions committee. The standards are very high. A film Vince might see and rate as high can be rejected by Steven, the man with high standards and the final word. T Rose is the technical director. He is the magician. He collects the selected films puts them together into the festival master and works along with the Laemmle projection staff to play the films. Vince says that he makes it all happen. T Rise is the last stop before what the audience will see on the screen All genres are accepted including animation, claymation, documentary and dramatic narrative. This year the deadline was March 1, leaving enough time for screening and selecting and checking that indeed all works are totally original. Films shown in the past have won Academy Awards, been nominated for Oscars and received other film awards. Recognition, non-monetary awards are presented for Festival Best Film, Most Original Film, Best Cinematographer, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, Best 5 Second Film, Best Short Drama, Best Short Comedy, Best Student Film and Audience Favorite.
Other board members include among others, Curtiss Bradford (a chief lighting technician or gaffer for TV and films)as projection and technical director, and Mark Schoeman, a Claremont architect, who designed the logo. Because of Steven and his connections with Hollywood acting people, there is an involvement with the movie communities and the 5 Second Film Festival has become more than a little, local festival. In 2012 it sold out 3 days before the opening. The largest theater was rented for the second year holding 250 seats. The festival is a magical experience. It happens for only for one night. All the people who attend share the total experience together and all films are seen by everyone in attendance. Last year I was asked to be an actor in one of the films and, although I had fun filming, it was a bit painful to see myself up on the screen as this rather nasty, whining, nag of a woman. However, I did enjoy people stopping me and asking,didnt I see you in a film? Being recognized can sometimes be a positive experience. The festival is being recognized too and is now listed on the back of DVD covers as having played in the festival and on film websites. I have been to all of the past 4 film festivals and each year I say that the quality cannot get any better and, yet, the next year it does. Now for the particulars. The 5 Second Film Festival takes place Thursday, May 23 with the reception at 5 p.m. and films screening at 7 p.m. The basic $15 ticket price has never changed. Tickets can be purchased online at www.5SecondFilmFestival.com or at Barbara Cheatleys on Yale Avenue in the Village. For $50, one can get into the Back Abbey at 5 p.m. for a reception. For $100, one gets the Back Abbey reception plus the after party at I Like Pies. I have scheduled my vacation so that I leave after the film festival as to miss even one year of film pleasure was not a possibility. Let us all celebrate the fact that we have such a talented group of people with the creative ability to give Claremont an enriching, high class event, as well a a group of caring individuals with a strong social conscience.

More on the XL Pipeline

Dear Editor: Anyone still considering their position on the Canadian tar sands oil should know one important point not included in Ellen Taylors letter of May 3: The sands oil, no matter how it is brought into this country, will do little if anything towards our energy independence. Most or all of it will be refined in Texas refineries for export to other countries, which also serves to maintain the high prices of our gasoline since the domestic supply is not enhanced.

Wilderness Park misinformation

Dear Editor: Its no wonder that Wilderness Park users are creatively imagining what the city really cares about in the park hours imbroglio. Officially stated reasons are unconvincing and, at times, disingenuous, and none are offered with much evidence. Mayor Opanyi Nasialis Viewpoint piece of April 12, intended to clear up some misinformation about the park, lays it on thick with some more of his own. He implies that preventing hikers from being lost in the park after dark was a major concern in the changes and cites an expensive operation last month to find a lost hiker after dark. This smelled funny to me. The Claremont Police Department informed me that this occurred in June 2012, and that the phone call requesting help came in at 7:46 p.m.20 minutes before sunset, 50 minutes before the dusk closing time then in force and, most importantly, 14 minutes before the park would have been closed under the new regulations. Since this is when the lost hikers companion made it out and called police, the act of getting lost obviously happened in the light and dur-
ing legal hours. Its reasonable to think that if he hadnt accidentally taken the wrong trail, the missing person would have exited the park within even the new, more restrictive hours. The fact that the expensive, multi-agency search, undertaken due to medical concerns with the lost person, happened in the dark is no rationale for the parks new hours. I foresee a long, ugly road of complaints and fact-checking ahead before we learn what is really driving these changes. John Norvell

Crime watch
Dear Editor: The Mt. Carmel and Redlands Avenue area of Claremont is having a considerable increase in crime. We had intruders in our front yard about the 13th of April, identified by our neighbor across the street, who called the police. We have to park 4 vehicles in our driveway and take considerable care in not leaving anything of value in them, but 2 individuals were prowling around our cars. On April 15, a 1990 Honda Civic was stolen from our driveway, found later that evening in Pomona, stripped to nothing and sold for junk. Since then, the house south of us was broken into through the front door, but the alarm went off and the intruders left. The police quickly responded with guns drawn and investigated but the property was safe. We have since put multiple motion lights in our yard to help out. On May 2, neighbors noticed 2 cars not belonging in the neighborhood and called them in. The drivers were casing our front yard at 1:40 p.m.one was a white van and the second a pickup truck with 3 individuals in it. The police have responded and are doing everything they can to help us out but, as one of the lieutenants at the police station told me, they have 10 incidents a night and have to choose what to report on the alert system. We havent had an alert in months. The officer told me that it takes considerable time to send out notices to the public when issues are happening. The

Equal coverage for sports

Dear Editor: Hi! We are Lucy, Merry and Edyn, Girl Scouts of Troop 109-4. We have recently been reading the sports section of your newspaper, the COURIER. As we have been reading, we have encountered that there were more articles written about male sports than female sports. We had read 14 articles about sports. While we were reading, we made a tally for how many more girl or boy sports were in each article. Overall, out of all the articles, there was a tally of 8 points for the male sports and a tally of 6 points for the female sports. We feel that it is a slight injustice. We wish that for your next article that when we read the sports section, we see that the difference between male and female sports is gone. Thank you for your consideration.
Lucy Chinn Merry Paris Aichele Edyn Hawke Claremont
COURIER evidently gets information from the Claremont Police Deptartment as to what is happening but why do we get only the public drunkeness, good reporting on the terrible times the Vons center is having, but certainly not covering enough and warning the neighbors in the areas that should be warned. I certainly think a stolen vehicle is an important enough issue to report. The police warned about not answering the door to people you dont know, use your alarms if you have them and be very aware of any strange vehicles or strangers in your area and report it to the police immediately. As the very accommodating officer today told me, they are hampered by a smaller staff and can only do so much and have to count on people in their own neighborhoods reporting anything out of the ordinary. Even with our signs in the entry about no contact, we are besieged by people knocking.

Girls gone wild!

by Debbie Carini
went on spring break with a college student last month. Im not going to lieit was pretty wild. We stayed up late, ate crazy things and gambled.
As a middle-aged (I hope I live to be 100!) adult, there are certain things I miss about my youth: A. My mom cooking, cleaning and pretty much taking care of all of my needs, B. My only responsibility being dusting the living room every other week, and C. Summer vacation, winter break and spring break! I cant say I ever enjoyed a true collegiate spring break experience. Somehow, I never made the trek from my alma mater, Rutgers University in New Jersey, to Ft. Lauderdale in Florida. But I know from watching spring break coverage on MTV (preferred viewing of my teenage son) that debauchery is the rule on those sun-soaked beaches. So I responded with enthusiasm when my daughter, who is a senior in college, decided to come home instead and spend her last spring break in the family quarters. My husband was halfway around the world in Australia (work-related) and my son was experiencing his first college spring break in the great northwest with a car full of friends (and an earful of warnings from
me: Dont get in any troublethe only lawmaker I know in Canada is Dudley Do-Right!) So it was just us gals. Manicures and spa treatments almost instantly come to mind for a girls weekend, but wea mom who has never met a clearance rack she doesnt like, and a daughter who has sustained a year-long experiment in purchasing only recycled fashionhad other things in mind. We shopped-till-we-dropped at neighboring thrift stores and ventured to funky secondhand shops in Hollywood,. And then the grandparentsa pair who have never met a gambling establishment they dont enjoycalled to say, Want to go to a local Indian Casino? With champagne wishes and caviar dreams, we headed through the desert to a glistening tower of potential riches. Im sure youre imagining wads of cash or cups full of coins right now, but I was actually sitting in the back seat of the car thinking about the free
buffet (unlimited dishes of jiggling gelatin, mashed potatoes with gravy, and sliced meats from the carving board!). Much to my good fortune, we headed straight for lunch upon arrival (in case youre wondering, Mexican food and Italian food and Chinese food do taste pretty good all mixed together). Then we were off to gamble. My mother ran to her lucky slot machine and my daughter and I took up 2 empty stools nearby. In an unprecedented streak of good fortune, I doubled, then tripled my initial investment. But my daughter had no such luck. She quickly went through her allotted funny money and even after I shared winnings from my pot, she was done. I too started to watch my little electronic pile of winnings wither away (no more clanking changeall the machines are digital now). We decided to find Grandma and Grandpa, who were also nearing their limits. As we headed out, I stopped in the gift shop and used some of my winnings to buy candy. On the car ride home, I was happy to enjoy a chocolate bar. Id spent a fun afternoon with my family, feasted on a crazy amount of carbs (did I mention there was macaroni and cheese, too?) and finished the day $1.38 ahead of where I started. I was the happiest person on the highway!
Current issues of international cooperation and the UNA

by Marjorie Woodford Bray, Advocacy Chair, Pomona Valley Chapter UNA-USA
he UN and its affiliated organizations cover a myriad of international issues and problems. Polling commissioned by the Better World Campaign in mid-January 2013 showed that 86 percent of Americans believe that the US should maintain an active role in the UN and that 67 percent of Americans want to pay dues fully and on time; these opinions are held by a majority of Democrats, Republicans and independents.
The US contribution of 25 percent is the largest to the UN regular budget. It would be 30 percent if calculated proportionately to the GDP of all members; other nations contribute relatively more than we do. Congress has limited USbacking for peacekeeping to 25 percent, instead of the assessed level of around 27 percent; this is penny wise and pound foolish; when troops are deployed to conflict zones to further US national interests, UN forces cost less. Congress should also restore US contributions to UNESCO (UN Economic and Social Council); polling shows 83 percent see it as an important organization. US failure to pay for a third year would lose the vote in an organization that provides programs of in areas of US concern. Lack of US fiscal support has already curtailed literacy programs in Iraq, Afghanistan and South Sudan.
The United States is the most powerful nation in the world, and the most powerful country in the UN system, with veto power in the UN Security Council, the most powerful UN organ, overseeing issues of war and peace. In the General Assembly, where each nation has one vote, sometimes votes reflect views not shared by the US. If there were no such forum, there would be little organized communication on matters of international concern on a universal basis, and negotiations and decisions about critical issues would return to being made at meetings among a few leading nations, most of them in the west. It is in the interest of the powerful to pay heed to the worries of others. The United Nations Association of the United States of America (UNAUSA) is a non-partisan grassroots citizens group dedicated to informing the public about the importance and benefits of the UN and advocating for its support; composed of chapters throughout the country; the Pomona Valley Chapter (www.pomonavalley.org) is one of them. Affiliated with the World Federation of United Nations Associations, in recent years it has joined with The United Nations Foundation, funded by the generosity of American philanthropist Ted Turner, enhancing its capacity to carry out its mission. The UNA-USA 2012-2015 advocacy goals are to develop and support bilateral and multilateral policies that reinforce US leadership in international affairs and support the UN as a vital institution in fostering peace and security. Specifically, this includes encourag-
VIEWPOINT
ing the federal government to pay UN dues and voluntary contributions on time and in full; increasing awareness of the positive work and importance of the UN Human Rights Council and specialized agencies; encouraging US support of the 8 Millennium Goals adopted in 2000 to reduce poverty and enhance international cooperation for development; and to promote the passage of key international treaties and conventions. The Millennium Goals embody concrete and realistic aspirations, calling for eradication of extreme poverty and hunger; achievement of universal primary education; promotion of gender equality and empowerment of women; reduction of child mortality; improvement in material health; combating HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases; ensuring environmental sustainability; and developing a global partnership for development. International treaty agreements are instruments of international law. They are negotiated and signed by representatives of the executive branch, but do not become law until they are ratified by two-thirds of the Senate. Ready for ratification are the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimi-
nation Against Women (CEDAW); the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD); and the Law of the Sea (LOS). CRPD failed to pass in the last Congressional session. The Law of the Sea, supported by business groups as well as international cooperation advocates, would define national maritime borders and codify rights and rules for international waters facilitating commercial activities and reducing possibilities of conflict. But passage of this treaty, and that of others, has been impeded by ideological opposition to allowing the US to participate in any such international commitments, even though they are provided for under the Constitution and can be revoked at any time. The Pomona Valley Chapter of the UNA holds monthly meetings and informative programs on international events on the third Tuesday of each month, at 5:30 p.m. at Porter Hall in Pilgrim Place, Claremont. The public is always invited. The website is www.pomonavalleyuna.org. Marjorie Woodford Bray has a PhD in International Relations from the Claremont Graduate School; she was director of the Latin American Studies Program at California State University, Los Angeles from 1980 until her retirement in 2008.

Mr. Riggio, a 34-year resident of Claremont, died with dignity and courage, family shared. His loving wife was at his side and his daughter, son and daughter-in-law were with him only moments before. The son of Sicilian immigrants Giacomo and Sarafina Riggio, he was born in 1937 in Detroit, Michigan, then moved with his family to California in 1946. As a young boy, he worked in packing houses in Pico Rivera. Later on, he worked various jobs in construction. Mr. Riggio earned a bachelors degree in liberal arts from Loyola University, followed by a masters degree in history from Cal State, Los Angeles.

Esther Pearl Van Hook

Entrepreneur, CHS proctor, woman of faith
Esther Pearl Van Hook, a beloved Claremont High School proctor, died on May 1, 2013 at her home in Claremont. She was 88. Mrs. Van Hook was born on October 2, 1924 in Waco, Texas to Willie and Carrie Thomas. She became a pioneering black female entrepreneur when, as a young mother with 3 children, she founded a cosmetology school in Waco, educating hundreds of young women. When that school closed, she worked at the Truman Beauty School. She relocated to Claremont, California in 1979 after marrying Lonnie Van Hook, who was a microbiologist employed by Lanterman State Hospital and who served in the United States military. Mrs. Van Hook was employed for many years at Claremont High School as lead proctor. Many of the students she helped supervise have expressed their admiration. She ran that school like she was the boss, and could control the most obnoxious kid with just a glance, Danny Schreiber (CHS 99) said. But she was also there to nurture, support and help out anyone in need. She will be truly missed. Mrs. Van Hook made an equally strong impression on Dannys brother, Darren Schreiber (CHS 88). I can still remember her voice clearly in my mind more than 25 years later, he shared. She was a wonderful woman and a very strong figure at the school. Its rare for someone to be so authoritative and so loved. Mrs. Van Hooks voice still resonates with another CHS alumna, Jennifer Stark (CHS 87), who fondly rememMrs. Van Hook had many unforgettable experiences over the years. She had the opportunity to shake hands and meet with Vice President Lyndon Johnson and Senator Hubert Humphrey, who went on to become the president and vice president of the United States, respectively. She also attended a sit-down dinner with President Harry Truman, who was the cousin of her employer. Mrs. Van Hook met Ambassador Andrew Young and Shirley Chisholm, who was the first African-American woman elected to Congress. She had the once-in-a-lifetime honor of shaking hands with Coretta Scott King, widow of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. She also met Ralph Abernathy, a Civil Rights leader who marched with Dr. King, at a banquet held at Paul Quinn College, a prestigious, historically black college located in Waco, Texas. Mrs. Van Hook was known for her style, and for her color-coordinated collection of hats. Appearances aside, however, faith was the foundation of her life. Before she fell ill, she devoted considerable years of service to 2 local churches, including 19 years at Second Baptist in Monrovia, where she was president of the Mothers Board, and many years at Antioch Baptist Church in Pomona. She had a true love for serving our Lord, Jesus Christ, family shared. She was a positive role model, who believed in human kindness. She devoted much of her time and energy to helping others achieve their goals. Mrs. Van Hooks family wants to thank their friends for sending wellwishes and prayers to Pearl who, they
OBITUARIES
emphasized, was a remarkable woman. She loved young people and traveling, had dignity and grace, and was a great mother to many besides her immediate family, her daughter, Lynda DiAlo, expressed. Mrs. Van Hook was preceded in death by her only sister, Ruthie Mae Hicks of Waco, Texas, in 2006. She is survived by her 3 children, Lynda J. DiAlo and her husband Dr. Boubakary DiAlo of Claremont, Lee Baldwin of Rialto and Hank Baldwin of Hesperia, California; by her grandchildren, Chaye Moussa, Darell L. Baldwin, Carl Baldwin, Correy Baldwin, Dora Baldwin, Brandon Baldwin, Angela Baldwin, Anthony Baldwin, Steven Collins, Melinda Manning, Christopher Manning and Davar Manning; by 6 local great-grandchildren, Rafael Archer Moussa, Darell Jaden Baldwin, Nehamiah Nicole Baldwin, Maliah Michelle Baldwin, Romeo Samej Baldwin and Paris Amiyah Baldwin; by a niece and her husband, Debra Sue and Bill Wilkerson of Waco, Texas, and by their sons, Bronshay and Jeremy Hicks; and by a nephew, Roderick Hicks. She is also survived by the extended Alvarado family, Rudy, Christina, Ashley, Little Rudy, Sergio, Matthew, Sam, Israel, Joanna and Anahid, who lovingly referred to her as Sugar Mama. Memorial services were recently held at San Dimas Community UCC Church in San Dimas and a private burial will be held at Riverside National Cemetery. Memorial donations may be made to the San Dimas Community Church UCC, 216 N. San Dimas Avenue, San Dimas, CA 91773.
bers pearls of wisdom like, Girl, where are you supposed to be?, You better get there, because that was 5 minutes ago, and Oh, honey, Im praying for you. She was interested in getting people where they needed to be for their own best interest, not to get them in trouble. She was all about students success and happiness, Ms. Stark said. She was very sweetjust a nice person. As a tribute to her hard work and dedication, students and faculty gave Mrs. Van Hook a football lettermans jacket engraved in her honor. Her family also remembers another less official but no less fitting tribute to her impact on CHS. In 1996, her house was TPd and her car was signed in toothpaste, We love you, Pearl! by the CHS water polo team. As befitting a memorable woman,

Lois W. NeSmith
Lois W. NeSmith, a longtime Claremont resident, died on April 13, 2013 at the Claremont Manor. She was 94. Born Lois Bernice Weeks in Mott, North Dakota in 1919, Ms. NeSmith was the third child and only daughter of William and Minnie Weeks. Her father, a rural mail carrier, left North Dakota in 1934 for the arid climate of Albuquerque, New Mexico, in hopes of curing his respiratory ailments. Young Lois received a scholarship to attend the University of New Mexico and it was there she met Woody NeSmith, who was then captain of the University of New Mexico Lobos football team. A shy man unlikely to propose on his own, he accepted the then Ms. Weeks proposal of marriage and the 2 eloped to Bernallio, New Mexico, where they were married by a justice of the peace in July 1939, the same year that the Lobos played in the Sun Bowl. Ms. NeSmith left college to work at the new Social Security Administration until her husband graduated. The couple lived in many places both in New Mexico and on the East Coast until Mr. NeSmith was drafted into the Army in 1942. The Army sent Mr. NeSmith to put his physics degree to work on atomic energy projects in Muroc, California, until 1946, when Ms. NeSmith discovered she was 4 months pregnant, at which point the Army allowed him to be discharged

store in 1960 so the parents could watch the Nixon-Kennedy debates. The children were thrilled to be able to finally watch cartoonson a tiny green screen. Lifelong Democrats, the NeSmiths, particularly Ms. NeSmith, were involved with the local Democratic Party. Ms. NeSmith served as secretary during Myrlie Evers first campaign for Congress in 1970. She also worked for the Claremont COURIER as a typesetter from 1967-1970. Beginning in the mid-1960s, the NeSmiths became active in the Claremont Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends, where Mr. NeSmith is remembered as a weighty Friend and Ms. NeSmith served as secretary and as treasurer for many years. After Mr. NeSmiths death in 1976, Ms. NeSmith took to traveling abroad with various companions, visiting such places as Turkey, Russia, Europe, the Middle East, Japan, China and Southeast Asia. She was also active with the League of Women Voters and with the Claremont Heritage Foundation. The late Paul Weeks, a longtime reporter for the Los Angeles Times, wrote a tribute to his sister in 2004. He praised Ms. NeSmith for her lifelong political activism, which, he noted, began when she cast her first presidential vote for Franklin Roosevelt. He also roasted her a bit for her tempestuous temperament, warning readers not to tangle with Lois on gender, or religious issues, for that matter. Mr. Weeks and Ms. NeSmith rang in her 85th birthday with a flight aboard a 1929 Travelaire biplane, a present from Ms. NeSmiths son, Chuck, that harkened back to another flight that took place long ago. Back in the summer of 1924, Paul and Lois, then 3 and 5, boarded an old World War I Jenny with their mother and soared over the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation on the North Dakota prairie. Ms. NeSmith was pre-deceased by her 3 brothers, Kenneth, Keith and Paul Weeks; by one grandson, Andrew NeSmith; and by her husband, Woodrow W. NeSmith. She is survived by 5 children, Michael NeSmith of Monterey, Georgia NeSmith of Verona, Wisconsin, Jerry Dennard of Chino, Thomas NeSmith of Kenmore, Washington and Charles NeSmith of Sacramento; by 7 grandchildren; by 2 step-grandchildren; and by 7 greatgrandchildren. A memorial service for Ms. NeSmith was held April 16 at the Claremont Friends Meeting House. Anyone interested in honoring Lois NeSmith is encouraged by the family to donate to the Claremont Friends Meeting, the American Friends Service Committee, or the League of Women Voters.

if he would work at the Los Alamos Laboratories. The couples first 3 children, a son, Michael, and 2 daughters, Georgia and Jerry, were born in Los Alamos. Mr. NeSmith left the laboratories in 1952, intending to get a law degree at the University of Denver, but along came their son Thomas and so the family moved back to California, where he worked for various companies as an electronics engineer. The family moved around quite a bit following Mr. NeSmiths employment, to Mojave (where Charles was born), Tuscon, Palmdale, Littlerock, Santa Clara and Pomona, before finally establishing their long-term home in Claremont in 1963. Over the years, the NeSmiths were involved in numerous political and cultural activities. Together, the couple established a branch of the Los Angeles County Library in Littlerock, California that stands to this day. They also jointly ran various chapters and activities of the Great Books Foundation. The NeSmith children recall their parents reading Plato, Aristotle and even Marx out loud to each other. Mr. NeSmith is also remembered for having read classic childrens stories out loud, among them Uncle Remus, with all the nuances of the dialect fully intact. The family had more than a thousand books in the home before a television was allowed in, purchased from a thrift

SLICE offers fun, educational classes for Claremont students

Boys volleyball dominates first-round CIF match-up
he usual suspects were in full force for Claremont High Schools boys volleyball team on Tuesday night, as the Quartz Hill Rebels visited town for a firstround CIF playoff match. Claremont dominated all 3 sets, winning 25-12, 25-14, and 25-17.
After a real test last week having been beaten by Burbank Burroughs High School, the Wolfpack needed to win or go home against Quartz Hill. The Rebels were in the playoffs by virtue of a second-place finish in the Golden League, but were clearly outmatched. Head coach Bernie Wendling commented on the level of play during the first round of playoffs. Tonight, I knew that the guys would respond positively after last weeks loss. This team was not as strong as some of the teams we have played this year. However, 16 teams have been eliminated now and the level of play ratchets up quickly from round to round. The match was over in an hour.
Claremonts assist king Lane Giammalva notched 40 assists, and killleader Steven Zetterberg put down 17 balls and 4 service aces. Stan Reeder and Hunter McIntyre combined for 19 more kills. A brief Rebels rally at the
end of the third set was quashed amid cheers from a typically boisterous Claremont crowd. Assistant coach Andrew Zetterberg commented on the Packs strengths and on what they will need to improve once
they come up against stronger opposition. Team defense is key, Mr. Zetterberg said. We take pride in serving tough, so we need to find a more consistent level. The guys will have to dig a lot more balls, too. Any one of our guys can put a ball down; we have 5 legitimate hitters. If we play our A-game, we can beat anybody. The Pack will travel to Tustin Foothill on Thursday night at 7 p.m., as they lost the coin toss to determine who would host the match. Coach Wendling added his insight on the matchup. We beat Foothill before, but I expect this match will be more difficult. We caught them early on a Saturday morning in tournament play the first time. They have since gotten a lot better. It should be a good one. The winner of the ClaremontFoothill game will play in the CIF quarterfinals on Saturday at 7 p.m., against either South Torrance or Laguna Beach. Wolfpack players are hungry for another victory, and look to go all the way this year.

Claremont home away from home for famed African percussionist
Two-year-old Prinz Azim Rahsul, who just got a drum set for his birthday, stays focused as Mr. Mobley teaches class.
So reasoned a number of community members who headed to the Folk Music Center last Sunday for a workshop on the djimbe, a skin-covered West African hand drum, taught by world-famous percussionist Leon Mobley. Mr. Mobley showed the students how to coax a bass, mid and high tone from the djimbe, then led them in a combination employing the tones with increasing speed and agility. Think but dont think, Mr. Mobley enjoined his students. The above command, meant to emphasize the primacy of feeling in creating rhythm, might be a bit hard to grasp. Mr. Mobley had plenty of straightforward advice, however. To make a warm bass tone with the right and left hand, beats referred to as gun and dun, students should windmill their arms like a swim stroke, then let their palms bounce off the middle of the drums skin like a ball. To achieve the perfect wrist bend for getting the high pa-ta tone from the drums edge, students should raise their hands to cup their ears in an Im listening gesture. Such tips stem from countless hours of study and practice. Mr. Mobley, who grew up in Boston, recalls that when he was 4 years old, his mother bought him a Beatles drum set manufactured by Remo. (Today, in a full-circle development, the Remo company produces a Leon Mobley djimbe.) I played it so much that my brother and sister kicked holes in the drum, he laughed. In the first grade, he switched to the djimbe. Before long, he was admitted to an afterschool program at the Elma Lewis School of Fine Arts, where he studied for 10 years under Nigerian master drummer Babatunde Olatunji. In 1973, a pre-teen Mr. Mobley got his first touch of fame when he was cast on the
f youre going to learn an instrument, you may as well learn from the best.
COURIER photos/Peter Weinberger Drummer Leon Mobley shows a class how to play West African djimbe drums at the Folk Music Center in Claremont on Sunday.
Leon Mobley will perform at the Claremont Folk Festival on Saturday, June 15.
PBS childrens television show Zoom. His time at the Elma Lewis School was just the beginning of the percussion education of Mr. Mobley, who emphasizes that knowledge is power. You have to know the ledge, or else youre going to fall off, he cautioned. In 1977, he joined the Bokan-Deye Dance Company and began studying under the Sengalese master drummer Ibrahim Camera. Then, from 1979 to 1982, he traveled across Africa, South America and the Caribbean, studying and performing. His long apprenticeship has borne fruit. Mr. Mobley, co-founder of Da Lion and Djimbe West African Drummers and a member of Ben Harpers Innocent Criminals, has gained increasing notice over the years. Hes been asked to collaborate with a Whos Who of famous musicians, including Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jones, The Fugees, Madonna, Mick Jagger, Nas and Damien Marley. The performance that remains a highlight of his life, however, was when he was invited to play for South African anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela upon his release from prison after 27 years as a political prisoner. It was him coming out for the first timea lot of things were new. He was a very warm soul, very open, Mr. Mobley said. He was trying to understand,
to be grateful, because a lot of people had put a lot of energy out for him. He was also thankful for that chance to hear live music. Mr. Mobley continues to teach and tour across the globe. However, he always finds time to return to Claremont, particularly the Folk Music Center, which he considers to be a home away from home. After all, Mr. Harper, his fellow Innocent Criminal, owns the Folk Music Center, which is managed by his mother, Ellen Chase-Verdries. Bens family is like my family. I tell Ellen shes like my mom, Mr. Mobley said. This past Sunday, he showed up for his workshop clad in a Rastifari Souljahs jersey, a fedora and green-and-yellow patent leather high-top tennis shoes. Through charisma and persistence, he imparted the basics of djimbe to 10 students, one of them a remarkably focused 2-year-old, who perched on a bench next to his grandmother beating a child-sized drum. The boys grandmother had studied the djimbe before, and another class participant had played the hand drum for 5 years. While 2 people in the class were rock n roll drummers, they and all the other students, one a teenaged boy, were all novices when it came to African percussion. Mr. Mobley had heartening words for those who found his workshop to be a bit challenging. While he is a natural percussionist, whose mother has told him he was playing drums in the womb, it took him some months to really nail the high tone. It came to me while I was at a bus stop, he said, emphasizing his words with a sharp pa-ta that resonated throughout the music store. When asked by one student how long it took him to master the djimbe, Mr. Mobley answered simply: I dont think Ive mastered it yet.
While it is a lifelong pursuit, learning to drum is fulfilling, because, he emphasized, drums were made for communication purposes. Throughout his life, Mr. Mobley has been able to use the djimbe to express himself in a nonviolent but emphatic way. As a teenager, he drummed with demonstrators who gathered at banks to protest the sale of the South African krugerrand, a gold coin prized by many collectors and investors. He also provided the beat in demonstrations in support of the integration of Boston public schools in the 1970s. Many of the problems faced by young people today could be ameliorated if they had a similar means of expressing themselves, Mr. Mobley suggested. Its a healing aspect, most definitely, he said. When youre playing music, everyone is on the same level. Mr. Mobley will return to the City of Trees later this spring when he takes the stage at the annual Claremont Folk Festival on Saturday, June 15. It will be Mr. Mobleys third festival, and the first time the event is held at the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden. Jerry OSullivan, who has been helping to organize the festival as well as book events at the Folk Music Center for some years, said he is pleased that Mr. Mobley has agreed to perform. Ive seen Da Lion perform at the festival. To see the full djimbe ensemble along with the dancing is so exciting, Mr. OSullivan said. Im excited in general about this years show. Its a beautiful setting, obviously, and the line-up is very eclectic, from gypsy jazz to African music to music of the 1920s and 30s. Admission to the Claremont Folk Festival, which runs from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., is $25. For information and tickets, visit http://folkmusiccenter.com/folk-festival/.

Historic Claremont artists featured in Pasadena exhibition
The Pasadena Museum of California Arts current exhibition, California Scene Paintings from 1930 to 1960, features the work of 2 Claremont luminaries, Millard Sheets and Phil Dike. The exhibition explores the California Scene Painting movementa term first used by Los Angeles Times art critic Arthur Millierwhich was part of the larger Regionalist art movement. The term describes representational art that captured scenes of everyday life in California. Through the New Deal relief programs, the Works Progress Administration (WPA) assisted struggling artists by providing them with wages to create artworks for government buildings and public places intended to uplift the nations spirits amidst the Great Depression. The exhibition documents much of this period in California history. Works depict local city and rural scenes, particularly in and around Los Angeles and San Francisco, which were rapidly expanding during at the time. The California Scene artists related what they saw around them: people going about their everyday lives, factories, a growing car culture, ranches and agrarian communities. Curated by Gordon McClelland, California Scene Paintings from 1930

Local artist Ken Johnson will display photo composites in his Los Angeles exhibition, Getting to Cabazon: Desert Poetics, Satellite Imagery and Layering Time, on view through June 1. Mr. Johnsons photo-composites combine images found in his paintings, his original photographs, appropriated satellite imagery and borrowed designs. These elements are digitized, layered, juxtaposed, drastically edited, manipulated and integrated to explore latent nuanced and connotative meanings. These elaborate composites are best understood as narrativethey aim to share stories, evolve insights and clarify social knowledge. They call into question the way we have thought about things, the destructive power of hidden and unexamined agendas, and the possibilities raised by alternative perspectives. A third-generation Claremont native, Mr. Johnsons art includes composite photography, illustrations and painting. He is a National Board of Professional Teaching Standards-certified art teacher and is currently teaching at Danbury School. He works collaboratively with the Mentor Project at the First Street Gallery in Claremont, a studio/gallery for developmentally disabled adults. This summer, he will be teaching at the Millard Sheets Art Center at Pomona Fairplex. Kens son Trevor Losh-Johnson teaches and writes in Claremont. His first book, In Cabazon, is published by BlankSpace Publishers in Hamilton and London, Ontario. The book is illustrated by Mr. Johnson and is described as a gothic pastoral spun out of a setting that by any exercise of rationale should be fictional. Cabazon, a dusty hamlet in California, is home to the worlds only creationist museum to be housed inside the bowels of a dinosaur. A fusion of verse, prose, and collaged images of Californian landscapes and desiccation, the narrative roves through the suburban sprawl of Southern California and into the heart of Western wastelands. Getting to Cabazon: Desert Poetics, Satellite Imagery and Layering Time will be on display through June 1 at the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art, located at 102 W. Fifth St., Los Angeles.

April was another fast paced month in Claremont real estate. While the average stats make it seem like we stepped backward, that is due to fewer homes over $1M selling, which pulled the averages down from last year. However, the under $750,000 market continues to be an active and lively marketplace. Were seeing a lot of multiple offer scenarios on well-priced homes, which usually ensures a top dollar sale price.
Information provided by Ryan Zimmerman, Wheeler Steffen Sotheby's International Realty, ryan.zimmerman@sothebysrealty.com
Mason was excellent starting from the beginning, to the end of the sale. He was very professional, respectful, had timely good communication, and understood our expectations and difficulties. One great thing is he never pushed us. I would strongly recommend him to my colleagues. We wish him good luck and have no doubt he will prosper.

You will be bidding on a lien, not the property itself. Placing the highest bid at 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 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 (714) 573-1965 or visit this Internet Web site www. Priorityposting.com , using the file number assigned to this case 26000CA. 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. In addition, the borrower on the loan shall be sent a written notice if the sale has been postponed for at least ten (10) business days. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. The property heretofore described is being sold as is.
