Thank you from the birds
Dear Editor:
We just want to thank the people and
the city of Claremont for the new bird
watering oasis on the upper Thompson
Creek Trail, installed this morning.
Come have a look!
And thank you, COURIER, for sending your staff to cover our groundbreaking. With so many good folks in this
town, I have complete faith that, as the
plants grow in and the birds start coming, everyone will be able to enjoy this
improvement to the Thompson Creek
Trail. Thank you especially, Pomona Valley Audubon.

Threats against our neighbors

Dear Editor:
We were stricken to learn of the vicious letter attacking congregants of our
local mosque, but not surprised. Given
the level of vitriol aimed at our Muslim
brethren since the election of Donald
Trump, this is the predictable outcome of
a campaign that demonstrated unrelenting bigotry toward members of this religious group.
We have now entered a very dangerous era in American history. Some call it
fascism, others call it a kleptocracy.
Whatever the name, its chief characteristic is hate.
Many of us are still in a state of grief
over the soon-to-come perceived loss of
liberties. We feel overwhelmed and
worry over what an individual can do,
given the current onslaught of aggression
and violence toward targeted minorities.
We believe the only way out of this
morass is through action. The best way
to fight hate is to call it out when you see

it happening, to stand next to the victim
and provide shelter with your presence,
and to videotape the incident and send it
to the local police and the Los Angeles
Commission on Human Relations.
Contact the local mosque and tell them
of your support. Urge your local city officials to go on record decrying acts of
hate, and to dedicate themselves to protecting the constitutional rights of all individuals within their community.

With thoughts of home

Dear Editor:
A product of your environment they
always say
But who made me who I am today?
Family, friends, and teachers for sure...
Perhaps maybe something a tad more
obscure
From miles away I wish to give praise
To the city where I did spend most of
my days
Picturesque mountains and tree-lined
streets
Lest I forget the bountiful So Cal eats
A community I love and always miss
One cannot help but reminiscence
No matter the places I may roam,
Claremont will always be my home.

The race results are measured in minutes and seconds, but months of dedicated training and teamwork, directed
by an equally committed coaching staff,

Religious leaders meet in show of support for Muslims
ne week after an antiMuslim letter made

local waves and national headlines, interfaith
leaders and residents gathered
at the Islamic Center of Claremont (ICC) to show support.
The gathering Wednesday evening

included local religious leaders as well
as city officials such as Claremont
Mayor Sam Pedroza and Pomona Mayor-elect Tim Sandoval. Mr. Pedroza
called for unity and support for all
faiths and cultures.
What were saying here tonight is
Hey, this is not going to happen in our
place, and this is our place, Mr. Pedroza said.
Dozens of people were in attendance,
so much so that extra chairs had to be
brought in to accommodate everyone.
ICC President Basem Aweinat noted
that he was not expecting that many
people to show up.
This shows how strong this country
is, he said, adding that the majority of
Americans stand for justice and freedom.

meeting lasted well over an hour, with members of the community offering support for local Muslims after the mosque
received a threatening letter last week.
New police chief brings experience, work ethic to job
laremont Police Chief Shelly Vander Veen keeps three quotes on the
inside of her locker to remind herself of the importance of her job.
One is from Viktor Frankl: Success is the unintended side effect of a personal dedication to a cause
greater than oneself. Another states, The true warrior can on one hand build the mightiest sword, while
on the other caress the smallest child. The third
quote comes from fallen LA County Sheriffs Deputy
David MarchMy goals are simple: I will always
be equally honest, work as hard as I can, learn as
much as I can, and hopefully make a difference in
peoples lives.
These quotes reflect the chiefs commitment and
obligation to the community. It is these values that led
her to become Claremonts newest police chief.
Chief Vander Veen was officially sworn in during a
rousing ceremony on November 28. The event, held
at the DoubleTree Hotel, drew community members,
city leaders and police officers alike.
City Manager Tony Ramos hosted the event, and
touted the significance of Chief Vander Veen being
the towns first female police chief.
Claremont is a community that has always been
on the forefront of change and setting an example of
what leadership looks like, he said. It looks like
commitment, dedication, ability, caring and hard
work, regardless of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation or disability.
The chief brushed off the fact that shes the first
woman top cop. My co-workers know I never
wanted to be labeled as a female officer, she said. I
only strive to be the best police officer I can be, and to
work without any labels.
But she emphasized how far policing and society
have come for her to achieve this position, and
thanked the women who paved the way before her.

Outgoing Chief Paul Cooper swore in Chief Vander

Chief Vander Veen thanked her predecessor for his

When addressing her officers, she

CITY NEWS
Theater company presents electric new play
heater people are known

for their ability to multitask. Company members at Ophelias Jump, however, are taking the word to new
heights.
Theyre preparing for their 2017 season
while rehearsing their production of The
Electric Baby, a darkly comic play
theyll perform December 9 through 18 at
the Theatre Company Performing Arts
Studio in Upland. They are also in the
midst of an ambitious fundraiser, focused
on getting Ophelias Jump a new theater.
As Ophelias Jump gears up for The
Electric Baby, the need for their own
space is glaringly obvious.
The borrowed Upland venue is otherwise occupied, so rehearsals are being
held at the home of artistic director Beatrice Casagran and her Ophelias Jump
co-founders, husband Randy Lopez and
their daughter Caitlin Lopez.
Its not an ideal situation, but the thespians are making do. A Monday evening
rehearsal showed off the talent of the cast
of six as they play flawed but compelling
characters, as well as their willingness to
explore emotionally raw terrain. The
Ophelias Jump website features a description of Stefanie Zadravecs play,
which is infused with tension, drama and
more than a hint of mystery.
When Helen causes a car accident
that kills a young man, a group of fractured souls cross paths and connect
around a mysterious dying baby who
glows like the moon. Folk tales and folklore weave throughout this magical story
of sad endings, strange beginnings and the
unlikely people that get you from one
place to the next.
As the cast gathered, Ms. Casagran
was finishing work on a mailer shes
sending to past supporters of Ophelias
Jump, which was named Claremonts
2016 nonprofit of the year. Shes seeking
patrons to help put the theater in theater
company. Ophelias Jump is also collecting donations through a Facebook campaign.
Ms. Casagran hopes the company can
get into a new theater in time for their
2017 season. Considering the season
starts January 27, with a production of the
critically-acclaimed play Quilters, its a
tight deadline.
Still, Ms. Casagran is confident the
community will rally to support the local
theater company. Were at the point
where were going to make this happen,
she said.
On their way
Obtaining a theater has been a goal for
the founders of Ophelias Jump since the
companys launch in 2012. The dearth
has been a challenge, Ms. Casagran said.
When it comes to their productions,
Ophelias Jump has taken a page from a
famous stage character. Like Blanche
Dubois in A Streetcar Named Desire,
the theater company has had to rely on the
kindness of strangers. More accurately,
Ophelias Jump has relied on the kindness
of community partners willing to lend

Kelly Kelly and Joe Futerman portray a middle-aged couple who are experiencing a crisis in the Ophelias Jump production of The Electric Baby, which is currently in rehearsal. The local theater company is embarking on a fundraising drive
to acquire a permanent home for their shows.
them a stage.
Pomona College is chief among these.
When the company made its debut,
shows were held at the Seaver Theater. It
grew too complicated, however, to
squeeze Ophelias Jump productions into
the theaters busy performance schedule.
Pomonas Sontag Greek Theatrea lovely outdoor amphitheater built in 1914
still serves as the venue for Ophelias
Jumps popular Midsummer Shakespeare
Festival.
Claremont High Schools Fruechte
Theater has also been used by Ophelias
Jump but, given the productivity of the
high school theater department, the stage
is almost constantly in use. The same is
true of the Upland venue where Electric
Baby will be presented.
The bustling schedules of these ersatz
theaters has caused Ophelias Jump to
present very compressed runs of their
shows, which has a negative impact on
the companys bottom line. For instance,
eight performances of the play Tribes
presented last Junehad to be squeezed
into two weekends.
Scrambling for borrowed venues has
also hampered the theater companys ability to sell subscriptions. You cant sell
tickets for shows if you are unsure of
where, if at all, they will be performed.
Ophelias Jump has already found a
suitable place to rent in Claremont. Ms.
Casagran figures they need a minimum of
$25,000 to build the space into a functioning theater. They raised $10,000 of
that last year through online donations

and a small but significant grant.
Garnering the remaining $15,000 is a
lofty goal, but as of press-time, the theater
company had already collected more than
$5,000 through a Facebook campaign
launched in conjunction with #GivingTuesday.
Ophelias Jump is benefiting from a
classic town/gown partnership; they are
one of the nonprofits that have partnered
with Claremont McKenna Colleges business program. Their CMC source consultant told Ms. Casagran that once a theater company gets a stable space, their
profits typically go up by 400 percent
within the first year.
Increased revenue will help Ophelias
Jump move closer toward its goal of being an equity theater. Since the nonprofits inception, Ms. Casagran and Ms.
Lopez have been dedicated to the goal of
paying a living wage to their company
members and a fair salary to guest performers.
We want to treat our actors and artists
professionally, Ms. Casagran said. I
think art is important.
Having their own theater will also allow Ophelias Jump to engage in art education. Ms. Casagran, a Pitzer College
graduate, teaches drama, playwriting and
directing at Diamond Bar High School.
She is passionate about helping young
people forge meaningful experiences
and maybe a future careerin theater.
She plans to host process-based sum-
mer theater camps for aspiring young

thespians, both those who can afford to
pay and through scholarships. Participants will be immersed in subjects like
Shakespeare, improv and stagecraft, then
perform a green show 30 or 45 minutes
before the start of the featured attraction
of Ophelias Jumps annual Midsummer
Shakespeare Festival.
If youre among the many locals who
have become festival regulars, youll be
gratified to hear the program has been
set for the 2017 festival. Hamlet and
Much Ado About Nothing will be performed in repertory, with performances of
the tragedy and comedy presented on alternating nights.
The Bard famously said, The plays
the thing. For now, The Electric Baby
is the thing on which Ophelias Jump is
focused. That and finally making it home.
Performances of The Electric Baby
will be presented on December 9, 10, 16
and 17 at 8 p.m.; December 10 and 17 at
3 p.m. and December 11 and 18 at 4 p.m.
Tickets, which are $23-26, can be purchased on the theater companys website
at opheliasjump.org or at the door; advance purchase is advised as shows sometimes sell out.
You can also contribute to the fundraising campaign on the companys website,
or on Facebook; just search for Ophelias

A taste of a quick getaway

by John Pixley
t was Pie Day. It was time to go

home. My friend and I had spent the
weekend at a camp outside of Julian,
in the mountains north of San Diego, and
it was Monday morningtime to leave.
Another pre-Thanksgiving stay at the
camp was over.
But we werent just leaving, werent just heading

home. It was time for another pre-Thanksgiving stop.
Thats because, as I told my friend, it was Pie Day.
It started several years ago when, after leaving the
camp on Monday morning, I wanted to stop off in Julian and get an apple pie. After all, the small, quaint
mountain village is famous for apple pies, at least in
the fall, and I had been hearing about how wonderful
they were. There are several places in town selling
pies, and my friend and I chose the Julian Caf and
Bakery, with its friendly alpine front.
Well, we got lucky. We hit the jackpot, we hit a hole
in one, all on our first try. With apologies to the memory of my mother and grandmother, the Apple Crumb
Pie, with apples cooked perfectly with a touch of cinnamon and with a topping like an apple crisp, is like
no other apple pie Ive had.
My grandmother would no doubt say the sweet,
crunchy topping is gilding the lily. I like to gild the lily
even more and eat this pie warm and with ice cream.
So leaving the camp isnt just going home. It is, indeed, Pie Day. Taking this wonderful pie home to
enjoy is a real treat, something I look forward to each
year.
It is also nice that the drive home isnt very long,
about two and a half hours. And it is a pretty drive, at
least until the 15 freeway. It may not be quite like
going to the east coast to see the fall foliage, but there
are plenty of autumnal colors to be seen before the
year ends, whether on Highway 76, 78 or 79. There
are also all the roadside attractions and curiosities
copper horses prancing above the bluff, signs promising the best milkshakes and cocktails in another half
milemaking the drive around the bend is a trip back
in time.
This distant place, with its rich colors and quiet
not to mention the best apple pie in the world, bar
observer
noneisnt so far. In fact, Julian would make a nice
day trip, a quick, serene getaway now that the busy
holiday season is here. It could be another, or a new,
tradition, appropriate in this season, just as picking up
an apple crumb pie has become a new autumn tradition for me.
San Diego isnt that much further. In fact, the drive
down on the freeway is shorter than the winding drive
up to Julian and has become another day-tripping tradition for me. A nice, surprising bonus is that driving
to San Diego is easier, often with less traffic, than driving to Los Angeles.
Food is also a highlight of this new tradition. I
leave by 8 so I get to San Diego by 10 or 10:30, in
time for a big breakfast or, really, brunch, featuring
French toast in particular.
For several years, I went to a restaurant in the Hillcrest neighborhood called R Gang for an outrageous
French toast made with Capn Crunch batter and
stuffed with cream cheese. Much to my dismay, I
found the restaurant no longer open on my last visit,
but I remembered the Crest Caf, which features an
assortment of adventurous French toast. I loved the
French toast stuffed with marmalade and cream
cheese, and topped with orange syrup on my last trip,
and Im looking forward to trying the creme brulee
French toast with fresh strawberries and one concocted with lemon biscuits and blueberry sauce.
(Too bad I have to go to San Diego for this. Anyone
want to take my suggestion to open a restaurant in the
Village featuring adventurous French toast like this? I
guarantee it would be a real hit.)
After brunch, I have gone thrift shopping while Im
in the Hillcrest neighborhood. I also have enjoyed
spending an hour or two along the cliffs south of
Ocean Beach and then ending up in OB, which is like
Venice but gentler and sweeter with its hippie-surfer
vibe. I end the day with dinner at 5 or 6 before heading
back to Claremont.
This makes for a nice, surprisingly easy day trip,
with San Diegos distinct, sun-splashed, just-north-ofthe-border feel. Its far away but not too far, especially
with the drive down on the 15, the best thing since
sliced bread, when going down on Highway 5 once
meant a three- or four-hour drive. This is usually a
spring fling for me, but it could be a very nice outing
during the holiday season.
I remember going whale watching with a friend in
San Diego just before Christmas one year and how delightful it was to see the boats in the harbor draped
with colored lights, shining on the water, as we returned in the balmy evening.
One of the nice things about Claremont is that, in
addition to all that is going on, its not that far from
places that are very differentfar-off escapes that
arent so far. There is Los Angeles, of course, with an
endless array of different environments and experiences, but theres also everything to the east of us,
along the 10 and down the 15. Julian and San Diego,
with their tasty treats, arent the only quick getaways
during the holidays.
Closer than Julian but with the same far-away country feel is Oak Glen, otherwise known as Apple Valley.
With its apple orchards and cider mills, this is a real
day or few hours in the country barely an hour away.
It is particularly nice at this time of year, with the
apple harvest, and especially on a weekday, when
there are no crowds and lots of quiet. Of course, there
is food involved (even if there are limited restaurant
choices), with a piece of apple pie and a bottle of fresh
cider topping the list.
Much closer, but also a different, unique taste treat
for the holidays, is Graber Olives in Ontario. Yes,
these distinct green olives are available in stores and
online, along with other treats and gifts sold by
Graber, but going to the shop with the original factory
is a special back-in-time trip for those who grew up
going there every Christmas. There are also those
iconic nativity scenes, definitely from another time,
along the center of Euclid Avenue nearby.
There are also the mountainsnot only Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear Lake, but also Mt. Baldy just
up the road. Even when there isnt snow, Mt. Baldy
Village is another world, cold and quiet, a mere halfhour away. And, yes, theres a taste treat. Go up for
breakfast at the Mt. Baldy Lodge and order a cinnamon roll for an extra special quick getaway.
A plea for higher ground

Dear Editor:
In the last few weeks our community
has witnessed a number of hateful actions and words directed to our Muslim
sisters and brothers. We in the Christian
community wish to go on record as utterly rejecting such hate. It is antithetical to all we proclaim as followers of
Jesus. It is antithetical to what we ascribe to as Americans.
Civility and tolerance have been the
gold standard of our nation, though to
our shame we have often denied such
to various minorities. Even in their denial this is what we as Americans are
and will be judged by before the bar of
history. It is critically important that we
of all faiths and of none accord to oth-

ers the standards by which we wish to

be treated. I would urge that, further,
we go beyond mere tolerance to generosity, for that is who we are at our
best.
To the extent we see each as other,
we run the risk of demonizing those
who are different. To the degree that we
acknowledge the humanity of especially those we disagree with, we build
livable communitiescommunities
that safeguard what we hold most precious. To demonize is to be seduced
onto a path of darkness that holds no
hope.
In the scriptures of most faiths there
is an expressed preference for the marginalized. As Americans we have always acknowledged a responsibility to
give a hand up to those less fortunate.
We in the Christian community acknowledge that the largest portion of
the gospels contain wisdom concerning
our duty to the least of these. We refuse to stand silent while there are those
who would grind them into the dust.
Finally, the Christian community, at
its best, has been a place of sanctuary
for the oppressed and the set upon. We
make the promise to those assaulted by
hate mongers that we will stand between you and your despisers. It is not
only our duty, but our privilege.
It would be superb if we could love
one another, but if not that, might we at

least acknowledge one anothers humanity and honor what we have in
common. Listening could also help.

Electoral College
Dear Editor:
Last week Matthew Magilke, PhD,
wrote eloquently about the stunning
hypocrisy of the Democratic elites over
their call to end the Electoral College.
He of course mentioned how the deck
was stacked against Bernie Sanders in
the Democratic primaries with Hillary
Clinton given an automatic 700 superdelegate lead, and, depending on the
state, a seemingly unfair distribution of
regular delegates.
As a Bernie supporter, I didnt like
any of that either, and complained
about it quite a bit, but last time I
looked, Hillary won the most raw votes
in the primaries. So when Sanders lost,
I licked my wounds for a week, had
some long, passionate discussions with
Clinton supporters, and then pitched
my tent in Her camp.
Professor Magilke can cite all the
statistics from the primary and general

elections he wants, but they dont
change the fact that the Electoral College is a constitutional relic from a time
when we were a slave nation. It was
meant in part to assuage the fears of the
Southern states that they would be
dominated by the tyrannical and more
populous North.
The Electoral College is elitist, in
this elitists opinion, and must go. Im
very confident that significant changes
are being and will be made in the DNC,
but Mr. Maglikes argument that those
changes are somehow necessary before
Democrats can advocate for abolishing
the Electoral College is specious. That
is like saying because I drive a fourcylinder gas vehicle now, I am disqualified from advocating for, or wanting to
own, a hybrid or electric.
Two times in a generation the Electoral College has awarded the presidency to someone who did not win the
popular vote. I realize that with Republicans being on the winning end each
time, and in complete control of our
government, there is no incentive for
them to support its abolition.
The electors themselves can do
something on December 19 that I believe would insure the colleges expeditious demise: vote for the candidate
who won over two million more popular votes than her opponent. Win-win!

Claremont
Thanks and giving: a look at charity in Claremont

by John Neiuber
n Thursday, November 24, family, friends and loved ones gathered to give thanks for those
things that enrich life. Millions
overindulged in food and drink. However,
before we could recover from the feast
hangover, in rapid succession came Black
Friday, Small Business Saturday, a
breather on Sunday, and then Cyber Monday.
A cynic might comment about how giving thanks is
overshadowed by marketing ploys to separate us from
our hard-earned dollars. I prefer to think, regardless
of the crass commercialism that overtakes the holidays (please, not another Jdore commercial), the majority of people were out shopping so they could bestow heartfelt gifts on their family, friends, partners
and significant others at Christmas.
After those three huge spending days, another lesser known day, Giving Tuesday, arrived on November
29. Begun in 2012, Giving Tuesday is a global day of
giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. Last year, more than 45,000 organizations
in 71 countries came together to celebrate Giving
Tuesday.
Since its founding in 2012, Giving Tuesday has inspired giving around the world, resulting in greater
donations, volunteer hours and activities that bring
about real change in communities.
Last Tuesday, Claremont got into the act when the
Village Marketing Group partnered with 31 Village
merchants with 32 local nonprofits to celebrate Giving
Tuesday. Each merchant hosted a nonprofit, allowed
them to inform their customers about their good work
and then made a donation to their cause.
The Village Marketing Group, the good people
who contribute so vitally to the economy and culture
of Claremont, are the same people who bring you Friday Nights Live, the First Saturday Art Walk and
many other Village events.
Claremont is home to a large number of nonprofit
organizations doing good work for the community.
Giving Tuesday reminded me that, historically, it has
always been this way.
Judy Wright, in her book Claremont: A Pictorial
History, says that organizations, clubs and associations have always been numerous and important in
Claremont. She points out that the number of organi-
zations are probably more per capita than exist now

for a city of 35,000. She made that observation in
1980 and it still holds true today.
Begun in 1892, just a few years after the

town was established, the Cactus Club
was Claremonts first. Every person living
in Claremont was invited to join. The
Cactus Club fulfilled a need in the community to bring the citizens together to
hear discourse on any number of topics.
Members gave book reviews, shared their
travels, discussed poets, dramatists and
novelists. The club also hosted debates,
like a well-publicized one on womens
suffrage in May of 1911, when Pamelia
Colcord and A.J. Cook argued for suffrage
and Charles Vail argued against.
In a published a history of the Cactus Club, the October 1910 COURIER stated that members liked the
club because it was the only meeting in the city where
everyone could discuss current events and where one
could present prepared papers. The club thrived for
30 years until it discontinued its meetings in 1922.
Another early organization, the Womens Union of
the Claremont Church, was formed in 1908. The club
considered every woman in Claremont a member.
The first president of the Union was Ida Churchill
who set the motto for the year, Go Forward. The
Union raised funds for the church to support home
and foreign missions.
Other organizations flourished in the 1920s. During
the 1920s, the COURIER listed meetings of The
Friendship Circle, Mens Union of the Congregationalist Church, The Community Reading Circle, The
Thursday Club, Boulevard Club, Baseline Club and
Pomological Club. The Pomological Club had been
formed in 1894 for those involved in the citrus indus-
try. The club had been the brainchild of A.J. Cook,

professor of horticulture at Pomona College.
Most of the service clubs one now finds in Claremont got their start in the 1920s as well. The Kiwanis
Club was started in 1924 and the Rotary Club in
1929. Listings in the COURIER through the years included the American Legion, Daughters of the American Revolution, the Masons, Oddfellows, Modern
Woodmen of America, American Association of University Women, Business and Professional Women,
Stamp Club, Poetry Circle, Newcomers Club and the
Rembrandt Club.
Established in 1905, it was known as the Rembrandt Club of Pomona College and Claremont. Today, it is the Rembrandt Club of Pomona College and
supports the Pomona College Museum of Art by raising funds for various programs and through its
monthly teas, lectures and trips to other museums. After only three years in existence, the club built and
furnished the Rembrandt Hall at Pomona College.
The project was spearheaded by prominent Claremont
women, chief among them Helen Renwick.
Another well-known and respected arts organization, The Fine Arts Foundation of Scripps College,
got its start in 1935. The foundation was supported by
men and women of Claremont and other communities
in order to develop greater opportunities for the study
of fine arts at Scripps. It secured funds through memberships and gifts to erect the Florence Rand Lang
Studios. It awards scholarships, supplies art equipment and hosts monthly exhibits and lectures to
which the public is invited.
The Claremont Intercultural Council (ICC) was established in 1947 by a committee of the Congregational Church. It was formed to facilitate the building
of new housing in a culturally integrated neighborhood and to upgrade existing substandard housing.
The stated goal of the council was to end segregation.
The council developed the ICC Housing at First
Street and Claremont Boulevard, which because of its
ground-breaking concepts is now on the National
Register of Historic Places.
Today, Claremont is home to more than 100 clubs,
organizations, nonprofit foundations and service
providers that are focused on improving lives, be it
through education or social services, preservation or
veterans services, childrens issues or art appreciation.
It is good to know that a tradition that began more
than 100 years ago is alive and well today, and that
giving is as important to Claremont as is giving
thanks.

Claremont
CUSD seeks members

for bond measure
oversight committee
Claremont Unified School District is
seeking interested individuals to serve on
the Independent Citizens Oversight
Committee for Measure G.
On November 8, Claremont voters
passed Measure G, a $58 million bond
measure that authorized funding for district facilities repairs and upgrades, as well
as new construction projects.
State law requires that the CUSD
Board of Education appoint an Independent Citizens Oversight Committee to
work with the district. In accordance with
Education Code Section 15278(b) the
committee shall:
inform the public concerning the districts expenditure of Measure G bond
proceeds;
review expenditure reports produced
by the district to ensure that Measure G
bond proceeds were expended only for
the purposes set forth in Measure G; and
present to the board in public session
an annual written report outlining the
committees activities and conclusions regarding the expenditure of Measure G
proceeds.
To qualify as a committee member, an
applicant must be at least 18 years old.
Employees, vendors, contractors and consultants of CUSD are prohibited by law
from being members of the Citizens
Oversight Committee. Employment
which could result in becoming a contractor or subcontractor to the district
would also be a potential conflict.
If you have an interest in serving on this
committee, applications are available by
Eve. Desperate to save his life, his

guardian angel Clarence shows George
what life would have been like for his
friends and family if he had never been

OBITUARIES
Strong and beloved wife, mother and grandmother

Arlene Mae Derleth, aka MOM-O-5
Ds or Granny D, died peacefully on
Wednesday, November 16, 2016, having
just turned 86 years old. She was surrounded by many loving family members telling her that she was loved and that
she did well.
She was born on November 14, 1930 in
Rochester, New York to Ralph and Isabelle Beikirch. Her father was a firefighter and her mother was a secretary,
and they both volunteered many summers for Little League Baseball. She and
her younger brother Bud shared many
good memories of their parents time at
the Little League World Series in
Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
Arlene had a fun and loving childhood,
during which she was often cared for by
her Grandma Sophie and Grandpa Charlie. She joked, though, that she hated the
accordion her mom forced her to play.
She fondly recalled working as a telephone operator during high school, one of
the only jobs she would have outside of
the home until much later in life.
In her early teens, Arlene met the only
man she would ever date, her sweetheart
Gerald Chip Derleth. They were married on October 14, 1950 while Chip was
in the US Navy and they would eventually have five children, the 5-Ds of her
first nicknameDon, Denise, Dennis,
David and Dean. Don was born in 1953
in Connecticut where Mr. Derleth was
attending culinary school, and Denise was
born in 1955 in Florida. In 1956 Mr. Derleths older brother Harry convinced them
to come to California, where Chip was
hired as a baker at Du-pars Restaurant
(still a favorite restaurant at the LA
Farmers Market, where Mrs. Derleths
children enjoyed taking her to celebrate
occasions like Mothers Day.)
The final three Ds were born in CaliforniaDennis in 1959, David in 1964
and Dean in 1965. Harry convinced Chip
to join him in a brotherly construction
business in 1965. After living in Glendale
and then Norwalk for some time, they
settled in the newly developing city of
Cerritos in 1969. Their family and Harrys
matching family of five children spent a
lot of time together, with all 10 cousins

giving Arlene and Harrys wife, Pat, a
run for their money.
Mrs. Derleth was always active in
many school and community groups,
serving as team mom and room mom
too many times over the years to count.
She was a volunteer fixture at St. John of
God and St. Linus, where all of the children attended elementary school. The
Derleths were extremely active in the
Norwalk Knights of Columbus, Council
#3678, with Mr. Derleth being named
Grand Knight in 1973. Mrs. Derleth was
in charge of many K of C events, including a very successful fashion show
fundraiser in October of 1973. Most of
their best friendships were formed at the
K of C, and she maintained those friendships throughout her life. One of her
grandchildren, Sam, was named in honor
of their very best friends from the K of C,
Sam and Ruth Casarez of Norwalk.
Chip died unexpectedly in 1979, leaving Arlene to finish raising the children on
her own. At the time the last two, David
and Dean, were just 14 and 13, respectively. Although she had never worked
outside of the home during her marriage,
she had to promptly find a job. This she
did, making $5 per hour as a secretary at
a boiler company in South Gate. With a
small amount of social security and that

job, Mrs. Derleth was a 411 warrior
who never let her children down. She was
tough, compassionate and filled the role
of two. She refused to let the tragedy define the children or the family. She could
have let it do so and nobody would have
judged her, but she never did. She absolutely held the family together, and allowed the five children to go on to much
success and happiness in their own lives.
Simply stated, Arlene was a strong
woman.
Mrs. Derleths favorite pastime for
many years was playing bingo with her
fellow K of C friends. She rarely missed
a Monday bingo night. She also loved a
good game of Scrabble, especially while
visiting Denise and her family in Blythe,
California. These games were known to
last well into the wee hours of the morning. For many years, she enjoyed being an
annual pass-holder at Disneyland, and
she often visited the park a few times a
week, particularly when her son Dean
and his soon-to-be-wife Dawn performed
in parades and other entertainment shows.
She loved to visit family, including
many trips to Clovis to visit Don and his
family, a place where many family holidays and celebrations were held. She was
also never more thrilled than when she got
the chance to trek to Texas to visit David
and his family. Mrs. Derleth enjoyed
many vacations with her kids and their
families, highlighted by a Disney cruise
with Dennis and his family, a cruise with
Denise, her family and many extended
family members and friends to celebrate
Harrys 80th birthday, and a few trips to
Hawaii with Dean and his family.
Arlene was never more proud and happy than in her role as grandmother to 10
and great-grandmother to 16. Particularly in her younger driving years, she treated the kids to individual granny playdates, often going to theme parks, movies
and Disney-On-Ice shows. She loved
each of them, and loved to shower them
with time and attention.
Mrs. Derleth moved in with Dean and
his wife Dawn and their growing family
in 1999. Together, they moved to Clare-
mont in 2000. While living in Claremont

for the last 16 years, she was a fixture at
the Claremont Little League fields, AYSO
soccer fields, CHS football stadium, CHS
Theater and every Inland Pacific Ballet
production for the last six years. It was at
these locations that she was bestowed her
second nickname, Granny D, by her
fellow spectators. Her attendance streak
continued even after she was forced by a
broken hip to move into the Sunrise assisted living facility in Claremont in 2014.
She loved her time at Sunrise, including
the care and attention shown to her by the
staff, but she never missed a chance to
venture out to a game or other production
in town. At Sunrise, she was known for always cleaning her plate, though you could
never get her to eat a mushroom.
Mrs. Derleths family threw her many
big birthday parties, the biggest of which
was an 85th birthday celebration just last
year. For that, her brother Bud and his
wife Ann were brought in from New York
as a surprise, as they had not seen each
other in some time. The time they spent
together that week, including a Thanksgiving feast, many hours looking at family pictures and a fun and nostalgic trip to
Disneyland, was a much-cherished reunion of two loving siblings.

House of Ruth fundraiser features Neil Young tribute
n a move we would all do well to emulate, a local man has countered the
bruising and divisive just-completed
election cycle with a sharp turn in the opposite direction.
Claremonts Stu Olsen is spearheading a rocking
fundraiser for House of Ruth on Saturday, December 3
featuring a wide array of local musicians paying tribute
to Neil Young at the Black Watch Pub in Upland. The
event gets underway at 8 p.m.
I was just so disgusted with the bad feelings being
thrown back and forth that I began to think that the only
thing that was worth doing was direct, local positive action, Mr. Olsen said. And so I just began to cast around
looking for something positive to do within the community.
House of Ruth will have special tablets set up at the
Black Watch for easy, on-the-spot donations.
House of Ruth was the first name that came up with
just about everybody I asked, Mr. Olsen said. So it
seemed like a good cause to work for, and it was a good
time to do it.
In addition to the donations from patrons, the Black
Watch Pub will be donating a portion of the nights bar
receipts to House of Ruth.
Im really appreciative, said House of Ruth Director
of Development Pat Bell. It allows us to come out and
have a good time, meet people in the community and enjoy some great music and know that everythings going
back to help us provide critical services to people who
have been victimized by domestic violence.
Statistically, one in four women is abused. And when
you have an audience, there might be people in the crowd
that need help and dont realize that help is available, Ms.
Bell explained. So were going to have an information
table set up with brochures and pamphlets, and our staff
will be available to answer questions. So, not only do we
hope to raise money for our cause, but we also hope to
raise awareness. And if anybody needs help, we will be
available to get them connected with House of Ruth.
The charity directly assists 5,000 victims of domestic
violence every year, mostly women and children, but
some men as well. It has outreach offices in Ontario and
Pomona and a shelter in a confidential location that houses some 500 peopleper year. Its educational arm reaches about 15,000 people yearly.
As for the choice to celebrate Canadas venerable musical chameleon, Mr. Olsen saidthat was kind of an accident. The idea arose after Mr. Olsen was rehearsing with
his band, The Deadly Feathers, and the group launched
into several Neil Young classics. We just kind of looked
at each other and said, Gee, we could do this all night.
And thats how that happened. The two ideas just kind of
grew together.
The event will consist of a core bandMr. Olsen on
guitar, Bob Pritchard on drums, Mickie Ellis Avila on bass
and Darlene Luna on vocalsjoined by several guest
singers and musicians. The first set will feature classic
acoustic tunes such as Sugar Mountain, Heart of
Gold and Needle and the Damage Done. House of
Ruth representatives will next give a brief presentation,
and then the band will launch into a second set of Mr.
Youngs well-known electric catalog, including Cinnamon Girl, Powderfinger and Like a Hurricane.
In addition to raising funds and awareness, House of
Ruth will also be accepting new, unwrapped childrens
and mothers holiday gifts at the event for its Holiday
Store. Anyone interested in this should go to the House
of Ruths website (houseofruthinc.org) and click on How
To Help, then Make a Donation.
This would be a really good time to get involved in the
community and put your hands on the problem and not
just bitch about it on Facebook, Mr. Olsen said. My
own role in this is not so much a fundraiser but as a musician committed to putting on a great rock show in or-

Claremont resident Stu Olsen organized a fundraising concert this Saturday at the Black Watch Pub that will
benefit the House of Ruth. The concert will feature Neil Young cover songs, with the first set being acoustic
and the second electric.
der to give the very, very good fundraisers at House Of

Ruth the best possible access to an audience. And for the
purely selfish joy of playing classic music with these wonderful musicians.
Mr. Olsen, 55, is a professional photographer by trade.
He was an active musician beginning in the mid-1980s,
but stopped playing regularly in the early 90s. He recently began playing music again and has been encouraged by the rehearsals leading up to tomorrows show.
Were having a great time, Mr. Olsen said of the
preparations for the show. Ive never had a band practice before where everybody hugged each other when it
was done. And its great music.
Ms. Bell was somewhat giddy when asked if she was
looking forward to the musical component of the night.
Yes! I am a Neil Young fan! she enthused. Ive got a

couple of staff members that are so excited to work this
event, and several board members that want to come as
well. Its kind of rooting out all the Neil Young fans in our
pool. The rock n roll era comes forward!
If you or anyone you know is being victimized by domestic violence, call House of Ruths 24-hour crisis hotline at (877) 988-5559. More information on House of
Ruth is available at houseofruthinc.org.

ISLAMIC CENTER/from page 3
Muslim letters on November 23. The

letter called Muslims the children of
Satan and warned of a new sheriff in
town in the form of President-elect
Donald Trump, according to a statement from the Los Angeles chapter of
the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-LA)
The letter went on to say that American Muslims should get out of Dodge
and that Mr. Trump was going to do to
you Muslims what Hitler did to the
Jews. The letter was signed on behalf
of a group called Americans for a Better Way.
CAIR-LA called on local law enforcement to ramp up security efforts
for local mosques in the Los Angeles
area. The FBI as well as the LAPD
have been working on locating the
source of the letters ever since.
Joe Salas, a liaison for ICC, said in a
previous interview that the letter was
delivered in the mail with a fake Claremont return address and a stamp from
San Jose. They went public with the
letter at the urging of CAIR.
Mr. Salas said that ICC has received
hateful statements in the past, but never
a direct threat of physical violence.
We do have a fulltime school, so a
lot of our parents have been concerned
by the safety of their children, he said.
We have been advising mosque members to be more vigilant to see anything
out of the ordinary and take great precautions around the mosque.
CAIR-LA is offering a similar approach, telling Muslims around the Los
Angeles area to take extra security
precautions and offering free copies of
a book on how to safely worship. CAIR
noted that since the November 8 election, hate crimes against Muslims have
spiked, with more than 100 incidents
documented by CAIR and over 700 additional incidents against minority
groups logged by the Southern Poverty
Law Center.

During an interfaith meeting Wednesday night, Islamic Center of Claremont
Treasurer Anas Al Smadi describes reading the threatening letter for the first
time. Dozens of people attended the event, which was held at the local
mosque, to talk about the best way to respond to the letter and to express solidarity with Claremonts Muslim community.
At Wednesdays gathering, Anas Al

Smadi, the treasurer for ICC and one of
the first people to open the letter, described how it affected him. When
summoned to the stage by ICC member
Mahmoud Tarifi, he became emotional
when he relayed how he felt when he
read the note.
Cantor Paul Buch of Temple Beth Israel, who has been a leader in Claremonts interfaith community, called the
note frightening and an unfortunate
example of the hostile climate marginalized communities face in America.
We do understand there are organized groups who are determined to cre-
13
ate an uncomfortable climate for marginalized groups, Mr. Buch said in a

prior interview. We have to come together as a community to resist that.
As for the author or authors of the
letter, Mr. Salas said that if he were
ever to meet them, he would have a
clear message.
I would invite them to our mosque
to meet some Muslims, because oftentimes people fear what they dont understand or dont know, he said. Id
probably invite them over for a nice
dinner and break bread with this person
or group of people and share fellowship
with them.
At the interfaith gathering Wednesday night, community members from
all faiths stood up and offered support
and discussed what needs to be done in
the wake of the threatening letters.
Mariela Martinez, a student at the
University of La Verne who tutors children at ICC, created a letter-writing
campaign for students to offer support
for ICC and Muslims across the region.
One of the letters came from an anonymous writer who voted for Mr. Trump,
but rejected the anti-Muslim acts done
in his name.
Rabbi Zev-Hayyim Feyer noted that
whenever he hears Mr. Trump say
Muslim, he thinks of Jews.
We stand with you, Rabbi Feyer
said. Any time bigotry rises, Im with
you standing with the oppressed, whoever the oppressed may be.
The gathering was a prime example
of a community coming together to
show solidarity, a notion that Mr. Salas
holds dear.
I believe when there is a threat to
the body, the whole body should respond, he said. We are peace-loving
communities and we support each other
when one of us is under attack.

CHS cross country teams step it up, win state meet
laremont High School

cross country coach
Bill Reeves has been
telling his team all season not
to peak too early. But boy,
when they did, the results were
spectacular as both the boys
and girls teams won the Division Two State Meet on Saturday at Woodward Park in
Fresno.
Coming just one week after the girls
team won the CIF
SPORTING
Southern Section
LIFE
Division Two title,
the dual win was the crowning achievement of a charmed season.
Senior Owen Bishop won the boys
race at 15:15, setting a personal record
and slaying some dragons in the
process. Bishop has been in a bit of a
duel with Ayalas Steven Khan, finishing second to the Bulldog runner in
both the Palomares League finals and
the CIF Southern Section meet.
With about 800 meters to go on Saturday, he was determined not to be second again. In a tight pack with four
other runners including Kahn, Bishop
felt good and decided to make a move.
Coming into the final stretch I was
right next to him [Khan] and I was
thinking Im not going to be second
again, Bishop said during practice
Tuesday afternoon.
Bishop broke away with 400 meters
left, but still had some doubts about
being able to hold on.
Once you are in the lead, it is pretty
sketchy because you cant see if anyone
is making a move on you. So I was
coming in with 100 [meters] to go, and
I was definitely looking over my shoulder. I know Im not supposed to, but I
just could not believe I was going to

Claremont senior Owen Bishop, center, celebrates with his team following
his individual victory in the CIF Division Two State Meet on Saturday at
Woodward Park in Fresno. It was a
great day for Claremont, as both the
boys and girls teams won state champion titles in addition to Bishops win.

win, he said.
Bishop has been competitive for
years, but had never won before, saving
his biggest performance for the race
that meant the most.
With a mile to go I thought he could
win so with 400 [meters] to go I yelled,
Do your own kick. He is known for
having speed at the end of races, so he
kicked, and he won. said Coach
Reeves.
Its a good thing that Bishop was so
determined because Claremont only
narrowly defeated second-place Loyola
97-107, with West Ranch taking third at
140. Khan came in fourth with a time
of 15:22; the next Claremont runner
into the gate was Ryan Renken at 15:31
for ninth place.

The girls ran a solid team race, finishing in a tight

pack that guaranteed no other team would be able to
compete. Of the top 12 teams, Claremont had the
smallest gap, just 59 seconds, between the slowest
and the fastest runners.
We had seven girls in front of Saugus fourth girl,
and that is what did it, Coach Reeves said.
Annie Boos was the first Claremont runner to cross
the finish line in 14th place, with Sydney Hwang right
on her heels followed by Azalea Segura-Mora. The
girls combined score of 104 was a solid 43 points
ahead of second-place Saugus and 51 points ahead of
third-place Canyon.
Claremonts double victory came as a spoiler for
the Saugus Centurions, who were poised to win a
record-breaking 10 state meets.
Spectacular, was how Coach Reeves described
his teams performance.
Going into the state meet, I thought if we were
healthy we would have a chance to compete and
win, said Coach Reeves. Today I thought that if we
didnt win I would have been disappointed but the
fact that we won both, I am a bit shocked.
Division Two is so competitive, you never expect
to win both sides, added Assistant Coach Jose Ancona.
Bishop, Renken, Ryan Cowgill and Jonah Evans all
got personal records for the Woodward Park course.
Additionally, Segura-Mora knocked a minute off of
her best time and Hwang also charted a PR.
In the end, it was a big team effort that led Claremont to victory following a somewhat disappointing
result last year when the Pack got dual fourth places,
just missing a podium appearance by one spot.
This has been about 13 or 14 years in the making, Coach Ancona said. Every year, we got a little
bit better and when Coach Reeves came along he

tweaked it just enough.

That team effort was also apparent in Bishops
summary of his big day: I wanted to do it for the
team, and first place is the fewest points I can score

for the team.

books, including The World is Flat and
Hot, Flat, and Crowded, Mr. Friedman
examined the impact and consequences of
our increasingly globalized world. Now,

Did
you know?
The people of the United KingdomEngland, Scotland and Walesas well as folks in Ireland, Australia,
New Zealand and South Africa, have a holiday tradition that includes festive headwear. They wear paper
crowns while eating Christmas dinner.
The crowns come from something called a Christmas cracker or bon-bon. Its a cardboard tube with a
prize hidden in the center, wrapped in brightly decorated paper and looking like an oversized piece of
candy.
Christmas crackers, which are usually sold in boxes
of three to 12, are opened at the table during Christmas
dinner. Two guests, each holding one end, pull the
cracker. It splits unevenly and with a mild bang, because the cracker contains chemicals similar to those
in a cap-gun.
One lucky person ends up with the central chamber
containing surprises including a colorful paper crown,
a small toy and a strip of paper with a saying, joke, riddle or piece of trivia.
Isnt that a Cracker Jack idea?

AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE:
All right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by
the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and
pursuant to a Deed of Trust described as: More fully described in said Deed of Trust. Street Address or other common designation of real property: 246 East 87th Place,
Los Angeles, CA 90003 A.P.N.: 6041-014-010 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining
principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust.
The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation
secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated
costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $ 308,310.46. If the
Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidders sole and exclusive remedy shall be the
return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful
bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary
of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and
the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election
to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property
lien, you should understand that there are risks involved
in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a
lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at
a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free
and clear ownership of the property. You should also be
aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior
lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are
or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the
lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the
existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may
exist on this property by contacting the county recorders
office or a title insurance company, either of which may
charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same
lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust
on this property. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE
Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid
less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time
of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date
shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more
times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court,
pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.
The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public,
as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish
to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and,
if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale
of this property, you may call (866)-960-8299 or visit this
Internet Web site http://www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2014-08445-CA.
Information about postponements that are very short in
duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale
may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled
sale. Western Progressive, LLC, as Trustee for beneficiary C/o 30 Corporate Park, Suite 450 Irvine, CA

designation, if any, shown above. The sale will be
made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay
the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the
Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of
the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time
of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is:
$ 484,843.23. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for
any reason, the successful bidders sole and exclusive
remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the
Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has
executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned
caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee
auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does
not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership
of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible
for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned
off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You
are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and
size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property
by contacting the county recorders office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee
for this information. If you consult either of these resources,
you should be aware that the same lender may hold more
than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt
owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt NOTICE TO
PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the
mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires
that information about trustee sale postponements be made
available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those
not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your
sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the
rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you
may call (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site
http://www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices.aspx using the file number
assigned to this case 2015-01420-CA. Information about
postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the
Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement
information is to attend the scheduled sale. Western Progressive, LLC, as Trustee for beneficiary C/o 30 Corporate Park, Suite 450 Irvine, CA 92606 Automated

OR SAVINGS BANK SPECIFIED IN SECTION
5102 OF THE FINANCIAL CODE AND AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE: All right,
title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee
in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant
to a Deed of Trust described as: More fully described in
said Deed of Trust. Street Address or other common designation of real property: 142 West Gage Avenue, Los
Angeles, CA 90003 A.P.N.: 6005-023-011 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation,
if any, shown above. The sale will be made, but without
covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining
secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $ 220,405.97. If
the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason,
the successful bidders sole and exclusive remedy shall
be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the
successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The
beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence
foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county
where the real property is located. NOTICE TO PO-

TENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding
on this property lien, you should understand that there
are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will
be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing
the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically
entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.
You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned
off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at
the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off
all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you
can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged
to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding
liens that may exist on this property by contacting the
county recorders office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information.
If you consult either of these resources, you should be
aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property. NOTICE OF
be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of
the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not
present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale
date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may
call (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site
http://www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2016-02477-CA. Information
about postponements that are very short in duration or
that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on
the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Western Progressive, LLC, as Trustee for beneficiary C/o

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Kam
Kwok and Shuk Y. Kwok be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE
PETITION requests authority to administer the estate
under the Independent Administration of Estates Act.
(This authority will allow the personal representative
to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions,
however, the personal representative will be required
to give notice to interested persons unless they have
waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The
independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not
grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will
be held on Dec. 14, 2016 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. 5
located at 111 N. Hill St., Los Angeles, CA 90012. IF
YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should
appear at the hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before the hearing. Your
appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF
YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of
the decedent, you must file your claim with the court
and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed
by the court within the later of either (1) four months
from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date
of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your
rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an
attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY
EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of
any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for petitioner: KEITH S WALKER ESQ SBN 73047 LAW OFFICES

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

which may charge you a fee for this information. If you

WHAT GEOFF'S CLIENTS ARE SAYING . . .

Geoff exceeded our very high expectations in the recent sale of our property in the Claremont Village. We appreciated the
professionalism, courtesy and speed with which he shepherded the process from start to finish, keeping us fully informed throughout. It is
a pleasure to see a master at work in any field and a special pleasure when I am the direct beneficiary!
V. Sathe & S. Sathe
All along the way, from the search, to offer, to escrow, to closing, the process was smooth and painless. We were informed all along the
way of what to expect and when. I cannot recommend Geoff Hamill highly enough. He is a professional who has years of knowledge he
generously shares.
J. Spera & A. Conway
Geoff did an outstanding job selling our property in Upland. His attention to detail was superior. We immediately recommended that our
son list another Upland property with Geoff as a result of our satisfaction with the service provided.
S. Campbell & O. Campbell
Geoff helped me with my recent real estate purchase and was fantastic and professional. To be honest I was a little reluctant to call him
because I thought he only services higher value homes. He didn't care what the value of the home was and he treated it like it was a million
dollar deal and was on top of every step in the process. Geoff probably didn't know it at the time, but I was preoccupied with my father in
and out of the hospital and I didn't have much time to be involved in the transaction. Geoff took care of the whole thing and was a constant
professional! I'm so glad I chose him to be my agent.
