CITY NEWS
Claremont COURIER/Friday, April 15, 2016
Council divided, city forms committee to re-review master plan
he Claremont City Council was

split Tuesday on a controversial
plan to move a historic home to
make way for the proposed Pomona College Museum of Art in a marathon meeting that lasted into Wednesday morning.
The council voted unanimously in favor of certifying the final environmental impact
CITY
report (EIR) for the proposed muCOUNCIL
seum, but split 3-2 on a zone change
that would allow the facility to be built at the location.
A supermajorityat least four yes voteswas
needed to override the planning commissions March
15 negative recommendation on the zone change and
the 2015 Pomona College Master Plan.
You couldnt approve a master plan without having an approved zone change, because the master plan
is required to be consistent with the zoning, Director
of Community Development Brian Desatnik said.
Even though you could approve the master plan on a
3-2 vote, you cant approve it without having the zone
change approved.
The next step is to create a subcommittee of two
councilmembers and two planning commissioners to
once again go over the zone change and master plan
ordinances, according to Mr. Desatnik.
The subcommittee, consisting of councilmembers
Larry Schroeder and Joe Lyons and Planning Commission Chair K.M. Williamson and commissioner
Leigh Anne Jones, will present its findings during the
May 24 council meeting. At that point, a three-vote
simple majority would be needed to pass the zone
change ordinance and the master plan.
I believe the goal is to extend the process a little
longer in the hopes that people would work together
to amend the project in a way that gets everyone
moving forward, Mr. Desatnik said.
Ms. Williamson voted against the EIR, zone
change and the master plan during the March 15 commission meeting, while Ms. Jones voted in favor.
The zone change would reclassify the properties at
211 and 239 North College Avenue from mediumdensity residential to institutional/educational,
which is a small but vital step for Pomona College to
move forward with their master plan.
The citys official zoning map lists the property as
residential. In a previous COURIER interview, Mr.
Desatnik described the designation as an oversight
when the 2007 zoning action was approved, as the
citys 2006 general plan classifies the property as institutional.
Pomona College officially appealed the planning
commissions negative recommendation in a March
28 letter to Mr. Desatnik.
The property is listed as institutional in the citys
general plan and the current zoning of the property
does not correspond with the general plan, Pomona
College Assistant Vice President Robert Robinson
wrote in the appeal. Thereforethe planning commission erred when it failed to recommend that the
city council adopt the zone change.
A point of contention for some is the lack of adherence to the Village Design Plan (VDP), which holds
that anything built within the Village conform to certain style parameters. Mr. Lyons and Mayor Sam Pedroza brought up the VDP during discussion, and Mr.
Desatnik and City Attorney Sonia Carvalho described
the VDP as guidelines, as opposed to mandates.
The museum would be within area 3 of the VDP,
which is labeled residential, but the staff report indicates that a number of non-residential structures exist
within that area, including city hall and the post office.
The meeting included nearly two hours of public
comment from 32 Claremont residents, and officially
adjourned around 1 a.m. Wednesday morning.

ABOVE: Residents line up Tuesday for an opportunity
to address the Claremont city council. The discussion
about the Pomona College Master Planand a proposed zoning change that goes with itlasted well
into the night.
ATLEFT: Steven Svete and Greg Martin of Rincon Consultants answer questions about the environmental
impact report prepared for the Pomona College Master
Plan. The EIR received approval from the council.
At the end of the meeting, Mr. Pedroza issued an

apology to the full house gathered in the city council
chamber.
It sounds like its anti-climactic, but this is the nature of this issue. I think everyone in this room and up
here is seriously looking at this issue and not taking it
lightly, Mr. Pedroza said, adding that this is how decisions in the city are made.
The council meeting was rife with passionate public comments from proponents and critics of the plan.
Some, including Claremont Heritage Director David
Shearer, cautioned against the relocation of Renwick
House, claiming it would permanently disrupt the historic character of the block.
Other commenters, including a representative for
the group Citizens to Save College Avenue, rejected
the findings of the EIR, claiming in part that it did not
take into account the overall historic relevance of the
west side of College Avenue between First and Fourth
Streets.
The EIR found two class one impactsmeaning
significant and unavoidablein the master plan: the
tearing down of the Thatcher Music Building and the
noise created from construction.
Ms. Carvalho told the council that the city staff

would not present a document if it were deemed inadequate.
Jude Emmert, the 11-year-old son of Claremont
Heritage board member Jesse Emmert, approached
the podium and urged the council to vote against the
plan.
Im just a kid, and adults always say these things
are complicated, but this doesnt seem complicated to
me, he said. Sometimes change is good, and sometimes it isnt.
Many of the commenters who spoke in favor of the
museum had one unifying sloganthe museum
would serve as a bridge between town and gown.
Preservation doesnt require placing our communities in formaldehyde, resident Ed Tessier said.
Preservation and growth are symbiotic partners, and
I think this project strikes the appropriate balance.
Many commenters questioned why the College
chose that specific location for the museum, with
nearby locations such as the southeast corner of Second Street and College Avenue seemingly available.
Pomona College President David Oxtoby told the
council that multiple locations had been examined,
but all had been ruled out either by being too far from
the academic core, disrupting current college activities or being too far into the college to be enjoyed by
the community.
Mr. Oxtoby also stressed that Pomona College will
preserve the Victorian nature of College Avenue between First and Fourth streets.
A positive recommendation tonight will truly be
an affirmation of the long and vital relationship between the city and the colleges, in the past, today and
for the future, Mr. Oxtoby said.
As the meeting passed the midnight hour, people
on both sides of the dais became increasingly restless.
The council seemed confused about how to approach
the packed agenda item, and received assurances

CHS speech and debate students aim beyond league competition
eing argumentative is not usually

looked on as a positive trait. But for
the students on Dave Chamberlains
speech and debate team, its the name of the
game.
On Wednesday night, 20 students from the Claremont
High School speech and debate team talked circles around
a crowd gathered for a Showcase of Champions. The
teens interpreted everything from a killers defense, to the
overwhelming experience of an autistic kid at a train station. They debated everything from how to best help
Syrian refugees to the merits of Cheetos.
The performers represented most of the 22 teens that
qualified to compete in the state championship, to be held
this weekend at Mission College in Santa Clara. The
event featured an abbreviated version of 17 different
forensic events.
The average speech is 10 minutes. Well be presenting a four- to five-minute snippet, the teams coach, Dave
Chamberlain, explained to attendees. A debate is generally 38 to 40 minutes long. Well present an abbreviated
20-minute version of public forum and parliamentary
debate.
The audience, perched on wooden chairs in the
schools library, consisted mainly of parents and other relatives of students on the team, along with well-wishers
like school board member Steven Llanusa.
The purpose of the showcase was three-fold.

from Ms. Carvalho that they can certify the EIR while
pushing the zone change and master plan to a later
vote.
It was packaged all together because that was our
recommendation, Mr. Desatnik said. But as it
worked out, as the evening went on, it was clear it
needed to be untangled.
During discussion, the council wrestled with the
implications of both keeping Renwick House at its
current location and moving it to make way for a museum that could potentially serve as a destination for
out-of-town visitors. Councilmember Opanyi Nasiali
and Mr. Lyons were in favor of certifying the EIR and
passing the zone change and master plan ordinance,
but Mr. Schroeder and councilmember Corey Calaycay expressed reservations about changing the character of College Avenue by moving the house.
After unanimously certifying the EIR, the council

have supported their considerable efforts.

The 65 to 70 kids on the CHS
speech and debate team work it like a
sport, practicing four hours a week and
traveling to many weekend tournaments.
The struggle has paid off. Statewide,
Claremont is ranked as the eighth
best team in California, out of about
600 teams. The team is number 44
among the 3500 teams across the
country.
For the 10th year in a row, the Wolfpack debaters have successfully defended their championship after months
of competition in the Citrus Belt
League, a sprawling collective of high
schools ranging from the 57 freeway
to Yucaipa.
In an additional coup, three CHS students have qualified to travel to the national championships this June in Salt
Lake City. Jack Xiao will compete in
oratory, Clayton Becker will compete
in extemporaneous speaking and
Alexandra Rivasplata will tackle dramatic interpretation.
The Showcase of Champions also
aimed to give the students a lastminute chance to hone their public
speaking skills and, with a $10 ticket
price, raise some of the money needed to transport the team to Santa
Clara.
The evening offered some gripping
performances and plenty of food for
thought, starting with an original oratory piece by Jack Xiao on the importance of taking time to unwind.
He began his speech, The Meaning
of Meaningful, by sharing an anecdote. He and some friends were fooling around, playing an impromptu
game of basketball involving a laundry basket and a beach ball. In walked
his mother, scolding him in Chinese.
Im sure youve all heard this before, Jack said, before translating
her admonishment into English: Stop
fooling around and do something
meaningful.
He went on to make an argument
peppered with basketball metaphors
that Americans have become too concerned with striving and achievement,
at the price of health and happiness. He
asserted that moments of play fuel creativity.
It is my contention that creativity
is on a par with literacy, he said. Join
me in integrating the three Fs [friends,
family and fun], back into society.
Rajan Shivaram next gave a convincing demonstration in original advocacy, advancing an argument that euthanasia should be legal for terminally ill people living in constant pain and
fear.
This was followed by Zachary
Wakefields oratorical interpretation of
the speech Charles Manson gave to the
grand jury during the Manson Murder
trials. Zachary was uncanny in his imitation of the cult leaderhis drawl, his
jerky movements and his strange mixture of big ideas and aints.
Rayyan Mishurghi channeled her inner hick, giving a humorous interpre-
tation of Middle Aged White Guys

discussing the problems with Merica.
This was followed by Alexandra Rivisplatas dramatic interpretation of a
mother who snapped and delivered a
grim retribution for the neighbors that
had victimized her son.
The evening continued with presentations such as a debate on whether
poverty can best be alleviated by
pouring money into infrastructure and
thusly jobs, or by continuing food
stamps and other public assistance. It
culminated in Nancy Jung and Sergio
Perez duo interpretation of Little Suzy
Sues God for All Hes Worth.
Nancy, a senior, serves as public forum, parliamentary and congressional debate captain for the CHS speech
and debate team. She and Clayton are
league champions in parliamentary debate.
Nancy first joined speech and debate
in middle school when the mother of
a friend suggested that she would be a
good fit for the speech and debate team.
The mom was right. She has been involved ever since.
She recently took a moment to describe her specialty.
Parliamentary debate is a spontaneous debate. We receive a resolution
and within 20 minutes define the
terms. It requires a lot of in-depth
knowledge of current events and a lot
of knowledge gained in history classes, she said.
To stay in good form, Nancy reads
articles every day. And for her job as
captain, she spends plenty of time mentoring younger and greener students.
Excelling in speech and debate
takes a punishing amount of brain-power and elbow-grease. Still, Nancy derives enjoyment, both from the challenge and the camaraderie between the
team members.
She considers it a privilege to be
mentored by someone as dedicated as
Mr. Chamberlain, who has helmed the
high schools program for 16 years.
Mr. Chamberlain really holds the
team together, Nancy said. He makes
sure we have certain goals to keep in
mind, and that we help each other and
think collaboratively.
She hasnt decided which college she
will attend but, so far, she is leaning toward Berkeley. She hopes to major in
integrative biology on the pre-med
track with a minor in political science.
They are heady subjects, but Mr.
Chamberlain said her time with the
speech and debate team will help ensure her success. Its a pursuit that
makes one adept at research, at discerning arguments, at public speaking
and writing. Ask the teachers here at
the high school, he said. They know
which students are on the debate
team.
Nancy is looking forward to the long
bus ride with her peers and for the
chance to test herself against the best
debaters in the state.
Being on speech and debate is
something to be proud of, she said.

Spring blooms with music and more, on and off campus

by John Pixley
ts that time of year again. I knew it

was April and that it was spring. I
knew that winter was over and that
the school year would soon be coming to
a close.
After all, we had switched to daylight savings time,

and Easter had come and gone early this year, putting
everything into high gear. Or even higher gear.
It was pretty obvious when I was passing through
the college campuses two Saturdays ago. That afternoon, it looked like there was a series of parties going
on at Claremont McKenna College, with groups of
students enjoying the sun and music and games
spread across the center of campus.
At Pomona College, students were painting or repainting murals on the long wall at Walker Beach, off
Columbia Avenue. It was a pretty typical scene of
kids enjoying a spring afternoon, blowing off some
steam before hitting the books and the laptops for the
end of the school year.
But before that morning, it hadnt really hit me. As
I was having breakfast with a friend, he mentioned
that there was a rockabilly festival going on at Pitzer
College. My friend had not known about it in previous years.
That Saturday afternoon was great for outdoor
musicsunny and bright, warm but certainly not hot.
I had other plans that afternoon, not having known
that the festival was going on, but was able to spend
an hour or so at the festival, enough to catch the last
few songs by one band (the Honeydrops) and some
songs by another band (the 44s?). I was sorry that I
couldnt stay to see Johnny Come Lately, a local
band, but I told my friend to watch for them, and I
was glad for the hour there.
It felt something like a discovery, like the first time
I went to the free festival and found out its an annual
event put on by the Latino students at Pitzer. The festival also features vendors and a car show and attracts
a good crowd, mostly from, interestingly enough, the
outside community, it seemed, but its not listed on
the official Colleges calendar.
I asked my friend later how he found out about the
festival, and he told me that he saw a flyer in the Village (and that he liked Johnny Come Lately better
than the bands before).
I dont remember seeing a flyer when I first went to
observer
the rockabilly festival a couple years ago. Perhaps I
was nearby and heard something going on and went
over to check it out. It was a surprisequite impressive, with a smooth, professional-quality set-up and a
welcoming, easy-going environment.
Yes, its that time. The school year at the Colleges
is coming to a closegraduation is just four weeks
awayand there are lots of surprises put on by the
students on the campuses.
Maybe therell be another Nochella, for those who
cant get out to the primo desert music festival. I first
saw this mini-festival, staged on the lawn in front of
the Smith Campus Center at Pomona Center, a couple
years ago. As I was going up College Avenue on a
pleasant April Saturday afternoon, I noticed flyers
listing bands playing hourly from 3 to 11. There was
an arrow pointing the way.
A year before, it was some chalk writing on the
sidewalk on College Avenue that I noticed. It said
Human Symphony and also had an arrow pointing
to the lawn in front of the Smith Campus Center. I
went over and found myself treated to a full, professional-quality concert by several student a capella
groups from the Claremont Colleges and from UCLA
and USC. It ended up being a most pleasant afternoon
out on the lawn.
There have also been the plays put on at Bottom
Line Theaterlikewise a pleasant surprise. These
productions, often free, are put on by a student theater
group centered at Pomona Center that call themselves
the Druids and are often stunningly well done, at least
as good as the theater department productions.
These productions may be listed in the programs at
the department productions, but one should keep an
eye out online or for flyers on campus. Like with the
music festivals around the campuses, they are in addition to all the officially listed concerts and performances going on now at the school years close and are
some wonderfully creative, well-done blowing-off-ofsteam by the students.
******
The Colleges arent the only places where I feel

lucky in Claremont.
On a recent Friday, I read in the COURIER that
Marleys Ghost was playing the next night at the Folk
Music Center. I was delighted, feeling that I was in
luck. Marleys Ghost is one of my favorite bands, and
I happened to not have plans for Saturday night. Plus,
it would be a nice way to celebrate getting over a horrible cold that I had endured for two and a half weeks.
I went by the store the next afternoon and snagged a
ticket. Sweet!
The group put on a great show, as always. I have
seen this folk bandthere are six guysfour or five
times, and they are wonderful. I like folk music, oldtime music, and these guys play and sing with lots of
soul. The trick, for me, is that they infuse a lot of their
stuff with reggae and also borrow a lot from the
Grateful Dead. So they are right up my alley. Also, as
with many folk bands, they feature much humorous,
corny banter, and its a kick to see these guys my
agein their 50sjamming and singing so sweetly
in harmony and doing it so superbly.
Also, seeing them at the Folk Music Center was a
real treat. The store in the Village is also more or less
a museum, with all kinds of acoustic guitars, violins,
drums, xylophones and other folk instruments from
all over the world lining the walls, literally from floor
to ceiling, and visitors encouraged to try out some of
them. It was founded by Charles and Dorothy Chase,
the grandparents of Ben Harper, and is sort of legendary around here and probably at least in the wider
folk world.
The store puts on in-store concerts usually about
once or twice a month, in addition to its annual folk
music festival (coming up next month at the Greek
Theater at Pomona College).
Over the years, Ive seen a number of groups there,
from the pretty traditional Wicher Brothers to the
punk-folk I See Hawks in LA, and this wasnt the first
time I saw Marleys Ghost there. The back half of the
store, which is relatively small, is cleared, with folding chairs set up in front of a corner stage area. It is
like going to a concert in someones living room, an
intimate jam session with top-notch musicians surrounded by beloved instruments. Whats more, tickets
go for $10 or $15.
Like I said, a real treatand all the more so with
Marleys Ghost.
What do you think? Were both fourteen.

How about we have some babies?
Hidden costs
Dear Editor:
The expensive 12-page glossy-paper
spring edition of the Claremont City Letter is, once again, hiding the true cost of
the proposed new police station.
It is not a $50 million public safety facility. By the time the parcel tax bond is
paid off, as I recall, some $119 million
will be received from local property owners. You would think that the overwhelming rejection of this nothing-istoo-good-for-Claremont project would
finally cause the city to be a bit more
open about its actual cost.

Dear Editor:
It has taken me a long time to write this
letter, since I have significant friends in
Claremont who make good cases for the
placement of the museum on both sides
of College Avenue.
I grew up in Claremont but have only
been back in town since 2010, so my relationship with changes here is a bit more
tentative than some who have been living
here for longer. Changes are always difficult in beloved places. I am fond of that
block on South College the way it is; in
fact, I always imagined living in one of
those little bungalows. But sometimes
change is worth it.
After much consideration, I think the
plan to place the new Pomona College
Museum of Art on the site that the college
has proposed is a change worth making.
It is a great location for a vibrant and engaging facility in appropriate scale to
both city hall and library, which will enrich our community; and siting it behind
the library will improve that part of town.
Rather than worrying about the Colleges encroaching on the town, we could
applaud the willingness and desire of a
private entity to share its resources with
the Claremont public. The Colleges are
READERS COMMENTS
an undeniable factor of why Claremont is
such a valued place to live and work.
More, rather than less, integration is desirable. Changing parking patterns to
timed usage will go far in dealing with
automotive congestion. They could increase handicap-accessible parking and
others can walk a bit if necessary from
nearby parking lots. I appreciated President David Oxtobys pledge that no more
houses would be moved after Renwick
House.
I trust that with Pomona Colleges resources and careful attention to community concerns, the new museum will be a
credit and a valuable boon to Claremont.
The new museum will have enough
space to adequately house and fulfill a
true museums functiondisplay, education and storageso much of which
will be offered to the local citizens at no
cost to them. I hope the zoning change,
master plan and EIR are approved to allow Pomona College to continue and expand its legacy of excellence in the arts.
As the daughter and wife of an esteemed artist and Pomona faculty member, we believe Karl Benjamin would
have been excited to see the museum
project underway at last.

Dear Editor:
I have been following the Claremont
water drama in the COURIER. I am
happy that Claremont is trying to take
control of residents water rights. While
following this story in the COURIER, I
neglected to follow my own Cucamonga
Water Districts sleight-of-hand.
I received an itty-bitty, looks-like-junkmail postcard from the Registrar of Voters with a note that the San Bernardino
board of supervisors approved the Cucamonga Water District board members

decision to change their election years to
odd-numbered years, thereby lengthening each board members term in office.
Strange.
As a resident voter, I had not received
notice of this proposed move, but it was
a done deal; as the itty-bitty postcard
stated. In checking the agenda for this
October 2015 board decision, I found no
public comments. Why was the public
(me) not informed of this proposed decision in the water district newsletter
mailed to residents? My vote had been
changed!
On further investigation, I found out
that in 2005 the Cucamonga Water District board members decided to change
their election to even-numbered years effective in 2008, thereby lengthening their
terms. Then I discovered that several current water district board members and
the manager have served long enough
that they have given themselves this term
extension twice by changing election
years twice!
So, the motto is for Claremont residents: It will be good to control your water district but do not fall asleep at the
wheel. Cucamonga Water District board
members appear to have invented a system to extend their term limits while
keeping a low profile out of the view of
voters. It appears that the newsletter to
resident voters is more PR than what is
really news.

Mary Happy Virginia Garner Nelson

Champion camper, happy woman
Mary Happy Virginia Fredendall
Garner Nelson died peacefully on February 17, 2016 in Claremont, surrounded by
her loved ones. She was 90.
She was born November 9, 1925 in
Upland to Martha Idella (Fowlkes) and
Thomas Benton Fredendall. She was
nicknamed Happy by her father, as she
was a happy baby. The name stuck and
everyone called her Happy until high
school, when her English teacher refused
to call her anything but Mary Virginia.
Her family lived near their seven acres
of orange grove where Oakmont School
is now. In addition to their grove, her dad
Benton took care of many more acres of
neighboring citrus trees. Her mother
Martha stayed home and tended the three
girls, Charlotte, Mary and Barbara.
She started camping at the early age of
one when her family went to Green Creek
near Bridgeport, California. In following
years, they went to Rock Creek, north of
Bishop. They would go for two weeks
every summer and always stayed at the
same campsite. They all loved Rock
Creek and had many happy times up in
the Sierras. Mary attended Sycamore
School and later Claremont High School.
At that time, those were the only schools
in Claremont, and junior high was at the
high school also. Her favorite subjects in
high school were history and math.
Mary loved belonging to her Girl Scout
troop, which met in the guild hall at the
old Congregational Church. She was
quiet and shy as a girl and learned a lot being a scout. She started as a Brownie and
stayed with it through high school, making lifelong friends. She was later her
younger sister Barbaras troop leader, as
well as troop leader for her daughters
Mary and Jane. Her mother, Martha
Fowlkes, was one of 14 children born in
Centerville, Tennessee. Many of the
brothers and sisters ended up in the surrounding area, so there was many a gettogether with many, many cousins.
Mary loved sports. She was about the
shortest girl in her class in sixth grade,
then grew to be the tallest in the next few
years. Her favorite sport was basketball.
At 59 she was a guard. She also liked
soccer and hockey. She and her friends

would stay after school to play and then
walk home.
She met Ted Garner at a dance her sister Charlotte was having at their home
and was welcomed into the Garner family. Her father escorted her to Chicago on
the train to marry Mr. Garner during
World War II, where he was stationed.
After the war, her parents sold their
grove and moved up to Toms Place,
north of Bishop, at the mouth of Rock
Creek canyon. They happily ran the Mt.
View Motel for many years. Martha
minded the motel while Benton led fishing and hunting trips locally and into the
back country out of Rock Creek Pack
Station. Benton was a first-class wrangler,
packer and camp cook.
The Garners returned to Claremont after the war and on Christmas Eve, 1949
welcomed their first daughter Jane. Mary
followed in 1951, arriving on Teds birthday. Garner Glass Company provided a
good life for the family. Mary stayed
home teaching the girls to iron and sew,
pull weeds, plant and enjoy nature and the
out of doors. She took Bobby Wheelers
gardening class for many years, and her
garden on Live Oak Drive was beautiful.
She became an expert in cymbidium orchids and had a gorgeous crop every year
that she loved to share. She volunteered at

the San Bernardino County Museum,
Casa Colina and Pomona Valley Hospital.
The family travelled a lot with a truck
and travel trailer and flew all over the
country for business, World Fairs and
other adventures. Each New Years holiday the family would fly to Page, Arizona
to watch the Glenn Canyon Dam being
built and the town of Page turn from a
construction camp to a real town. The
family also enjoyed Hawaii and travelled
there frequently.
Birds were always important to her.
The family had lots of Stop the car! moments looking at birds. She kept a life list
and her binoculars were always handy.
She birded extensively around the United
States and went to more exotic locales to
add to her life list. Mary loved her cabin
at Mammoth. It is a small log cabin, built
in the 1920s, in the upper lakes basin at
9,000 feet. It has been in the family for 40
years now. She spent much time in Rock
Creek Canyon where she camped as a
child, and grew to love the Mammoth
area as well. All of the family loves to go
to the cabin.
Then along came Conrad Connie
Nelson. He lived down the street from her
growing up and was her kid sisters Barbaras age. He had a gas station on Bonita
and then Connie and Dicks Garage in
Claremont. They married in 1989. They
had a lot of fun together and had many
wonderful years.
They loved their Lazy Daze RVs. They
traveled all over the United States, and
loved their trips to Alaska. Connie would
drive and Mary loved to navigate with paper maps and keep a book of records
about gas stops and the mileage they were
getting at each fill-up. They loved to camp
in their rig. Favorite places were Carlsbad,
San Simeon and Emma Woods on the
coast and Death Valley, Borrego Springs
and the Salton Sea in the desert. They
traveled a lot! They loved visiting family
in Idaho and elsewhere. They had been to
Borrego Springs and the Salton Sea the
week before her passing.
When Mary was no longer able to be in
high altitudes, they found their cabin in
Forest Falls. They loved it there. The oak

trees and tiger lilies were perhaps the favorite parts, but also the fires in the fireplace. Often in the winter when they went
up to Forest Falls, she would stay in the
car with the heater on until Connie had
warmed up the cabin with a fire in their
den and turned on the heater. She and
Connie went out most every day for a
drive.They enjoyed watching airplanes at
Brackett Field and trips to the local mountains. Connie kept up their gardens when
Mary was no longer able to garden. She
loved watching sports on TV and especially liked watching bull riding.
Her family was very important to her,
with visits always appreciated. She kept
special toys for the great-grandchildren to
play with, many of which had belonged to
Mary and Jane. She loved to cook and, as
her health waned, she taught Connie to be
a great cook. He enabled his wife to stay
in their home. It wasnt always easy.
Connie took such good care of her
and she appreciated and loved him so,
family shared. He was a real blessing
and she was a lucky lady to have had
such a rich and happy life. Those who
knew her were blessed to have her!
Mary is survived by her loving husband of 27 years, Conrad Connie Nelson; her daughters Mary (Chris) Hirsch of
Padua Hills and Jane Garner of Upland;
her grandchildren Patrick (Jenna) Logsdon of Santa Cruz, Benton Wolverton of
Olathe, Kansas, Jonathan Logsdon of Upland and Katie (Robert) Bartosh of Claremont; her great-grandchildren Melia and
Robbie Bartosh of Claremont; her first
husband Ted Garner; her sisters Barbara
(Fred) Switzer of Modesto, California
and Charlotte Kern of Oregon and many
cousins.
She also leaves the Nelson clan, John
(Janet), Chuck (Marilyn), Bob (Edie),
Gary (Donna), daughters Sharon and
Anna and many grand- and great-grandchildren.
Her family would like to thank Pilgrim
Place and VNA Hospice. They did an extraordinary job during the last few days
before her passing. Services were held
on February 20, 2016.
Nanette M. Keith
Volunteer, Shakespeare aficionado, ray of sunshine
Nanette Maude Keith, a longtime
Claremont resident, died on March 24,
2016. She was 89.
She was born on January 9, 1927 in
Chicago to John Peter and Pauline
Cheske Hardesty and moved to South
Gate, California at age 17 to finish her
senior year of high school. In September
1945, Nan enrolled at UCLA where she
earned her bachelors degree. While in
college she met her husband Robert Allen
Keith, who earned his PhD in clinical
psychology and taught for many years at
the Claremont Graduate School. In 1953,
the couple moved to Claremont where
they raised their two daughters.
A lifelong volunteer, she spent many
hours working on her childrens school
activities as well as in support of fundraising for Casa Colina Hospital where Dr.
Keith worked for several decades as the
director of research. They traveled extensively throughout their lives, taking annual trips to visit their oldest daughter
and her husband at their home in Switzerland. Both avid photographers, they documented their many journeys including
trips to China, Costa Rica and Canada
and many stays in Europe, including stops
in Paris, Italy and Ireland. They spent
1967-68 living abroad in London while
Dr. Keith was on sabbatical at the Uni-
versity of London.
In 1976, the year her youngest daughter went off to college, Mrs. Keith became
a realtor with Coldwell Banker where she
worked for the next 20 years. She represented many Claremont friends and colleagues in the purchase and sale of homes,
and enjoyed lots of great times with her
fellow real estate agents. She retired from
real estate after helping her youngest
daughter with the sale of her home in

1996.
Following Bobs passing in 2006, Mrs.
Keith put the pedal to the metal and
joined a Shakespeare group, continued
to volunteer at the Rancho Santa Ana
Botanic Garden, enjoyed hundreds of
plays with close friends, delivered Meals
on Wheels and lived on her own in her
home in Claremont. The annual trip with
the Shakespeare group to Ashland, Oregon was a highlight of every year, and
Nan always got special treatment from the
actors who got to know her on a firstname basis. She remained active, traveling with her family to Europe at age 84
and attending her grandsons graduation
from college in Chicago the following
year.
Nan loved sports. She grew up not far
from Wrigley Field, cheering for the
Chicago Cubs, but ultimately it was the
love of basketball that came first. She
rooted for the Lakers during the glory
days but became a Clipper fan because, as
she said, they were just more fun to
watch. She was also a diehard Democrat
and wore her Obama T-shirt proudly
when he was elected president in 2008.
She was known as the life of any party,
and spent many hours connecting both in
person and on the computer with a wide
group of friends, family and colleagues.

Her network received many fun emails
from her over the years, as she remembered birthdays, anniversaries and many
other milestones in their lives.
Mrs. Keith often described how lucky
she was to have so many good friends and
neighbors who looked out for her later in
life, and with whom she enjoyed so many
good times. Those who knew her, however, insist that luck had nothing to do
with it. Nan received what she put out
into the world: openness and kindness,
family shared. She was often described
as the most optimistic and positive person
you would ever meeta force of nature
and a ray of sunshine who would light up
the room.
She is survived by her two daughters,
Leslie Keith Berclaz of Switzerland and
Claudia Keith Lorenzana of northern California, and their spouses Leopold Berclaz
and David Lorenzana, as well as her
grandson Pablo Keith Lorenzana of
Chicago.
A celebration of life will be held on
Sunday, May 8 at noon in the Container
Garden at Rancho Santa Ana Botanic
Garden, 1500 N. College Ave., Claremont. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to RSABG in
memory of Nanette Keith.

OBITUARIES
Caring mother, avid gardener

Carol Ann Ivey Richardson died on
March 2, 2016 at the Woods Health
Services nursing home in La Verne following an eight-year struggle with
Alzheimers disease. She was 76.
She was born Carol Ann Ivey in
Manila, Luzon Island, Philippines on
May 27, 1939 and immigrated to the
United States with relatives in 1946.
Her mother, Elisabeth Rosalewski Ivey,
had been shot and killed by the Japanese
in Manila during WWII so she was
reared by her maternal grandmother,
Catalina Bautista Rosalewski, in Berkeley, California, where Carol graduated
from Presentation Catholic High
School.
A resident of the Claremont area for

more than 30 years, Ms. Richardsons
passion for plants and gardening led her
to California State Polytechnic University Pomona, where she earned a bachelor of science degree in botany with
honors. She later received a masters
degree in entomology at the University
of California, Riverside.
Carol was liked by everyone she
met and, as a mother, was kind, attentive, and loved unconditionally, family
shared, adding that she will be greatly
missed.
She is survived by an adopted son,
Scott Richardson, of Washington state,
her son David Richardson and five
grandchildren, Hailey, Eric, Mark,

Tabitha and Sophia, all of Oregon. She
also leaves an ex-husband, John
Richardson, of Oregon; an aunt, Luise
Reed, of Palm Desert; cousins Patricia
Gaesser of Mesa, Arizona, John Glaze
of Madison, Wisconsin, Vincent Genato
of La Quinta, California and longtime
friend Donna Johnson of Minnesota.
A memorial service will be held on
Sunday, May 26 at Hillcrest Retirement
Community, located at 2705 Mountain
View Drive in La Verne. The family requests that donations be made in
Carols memory to the Alzheimers Association.
Denis Lambert
Veteran, golfer, loving grandfather
Denis J. Lambert died at home on
March 26, 2016. He was 78.
He was born on September 23, 1937
in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the son of
Russell and Helen Lambert. He earned a
bachelors degree and in 1959 married
his wife Patricia. The couple had known
each other for years, having attended the
same grade school and neighboring
parochial high schools.
Mr. Lambert entered the US Air Force
as a pilot in 1960. After five years in the
military, he returned to civilian life. He
started a career with Honeywell in Minnesota and was later transferred to California in 1971. He had many years in
contract administration and program
management and furthered his career
with an MBA from Cal Poly Pomona.
The Honeywell division was purchased by Raytheon and later moved to
Texas.
Denis chose to remain in California

and returned to school at UCLA, becoming a certified paralegal. He worked
for a law firm, Lane Powell, in downtown Los Angeles as an aviation paralegal.
In his spare time, he liked reading and
had a particular interest in Tom Clancys
thrilling novels as well as anything to do
with politics and history. His son-in-law,
Royce Nix, recalls visiting Washington,
DC with him back when you could walk
through the Pentagon with just one or
two escorts. A guide asked if anyone in
the crowd could name all of the conflicts
going on in the world. Mr. Lambert was
a soft-spoken person, but he stepped forward and began listing them. He really
hit the nail on the head, Mr. Nix said.
They said, Youre impressive. Would
you like a job?
Mr. Lambert was an avid golfer and
would hit the greens with a group of golf

buddies on a weekly basis. He was a
parishioner at St. Anthony Catholic
Church in Upland and, while he was
quiet about his faith, he rarely went a
week without attending mass. He loved
spending time with his grandchildren
and liked to travel with his wife, heading
for destinations like Germany, Holland
and Hawaii. He was a very loving, caring and thoughtful person, family
shared.
Denis is lovingly survived by his wife
of 56 years, Patricia, granddaughters
Caitlin and Calleigh and son-in-law
Royce Nix. He was preceded in death by
his daughter Laurie Lambert Nix in May
of 2015.
Services were held on April 6 at St.
Anthony Catholic Church in Upland.
Donations may be made to the American
Heart Association.

Dr. James Isaac Bell

Veteran, administrator, lifelong teacher
Dr. James Bell, a pioneering college administrator, died peacefully, surrounded
by loving family and caregivers, on
March 23, 2016. He was 90.
He was born October 2, 1925 in Jersey
City, New Jersey to Fleta Mae Pickron
and Herman Bell. He attended Matawan
High School and upon graduation joined
the US Marine Corps. Returning as a sergeant from World War II, he played semiprofessional football for the Jersey City
Vikings.
He married Edna Mae Greene and together they had three children, Fulani (nee
Valerie), James and Elena. Jim attended
Lincoln University near Philadelphia and,
after graduation, worked at Historically
Black Universities in Columbia, South
Carolina, Baton Rouge, Louisiana and
Norfolk, Virginia. During that time, he received his Doctorate of Education from
Columbia University in New York City.
In 1969, Dr. Bell moved his family to
California and began working at California State Polytechnic University Pomona.
While at Cal Poly, Dr. Bell immedi-
ately made his mark at the university and

in the community. He was the first
African-American to hold an assistant
deans and then a vice presidents position
in the entire California State University
system. He was rapidly promoted to vice
president of student affairs and served as
interim president before retiring in 1989.
His influence on campus continued when
the James Bell internship for students
continued for more than 10 years after his
retirement.
While making a difference for thousands of students at Cal Poly, Dr. Bell
was also involved in the greater Pomona
Valley community. He was the first
African-American elected to the Pomona
Unified School Board, served on the
boards of several organizations, was a diversity consultant for Chaffey College
and worked for community empowerment and social justice. His contributions
and awards are too numerous to mention.
He was committed to and believed deeply
in quality education. It was his passion
and he practiced what he preached by be-
ing a lifelong learner, teacher and positive

force for all those that knew him.
Dr. Bell and his partner, Dr. Sonia
Blackman, traveled extensively and loved
enjoying cultures from all over the globe.
Jim and Sonia continued these pursuits
until the very end. Jim had a favorite saying, Never say no when you can say
yes. He exemplified this philosophy, en-
joying good music, good food, a good

laugh and a good story.
He was preceded in death by his brothers, Harold, Herman and Barney, wife
Edna and daughter Fulani. He is survived
by his two children, Elena and James, his
loving partner of 31 years, Sonia, and his
grandchildren Thembisa, Sumiyah,
Ahmed, Jabril and Michael. He also
leaves five great-grandchildren; Mecca,
Umi, Sarah, Jennah and Musa, and a host
of nieces, nephews, extended family
members and friends. The family would
like to thank his devoted caregivers,
Marie Willingham and Estella Castanedes.
Jim will be interred in Fresno, California next to his beloved mother, Fleta Mae,
and brother Barney. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Bell/ Blackman endowed scholarship at Cal Poly
Universitys Foundation, 3801 W. Temple
Ave., Pomona, CA 91768. A celebration
of Dr. Bells life will be held at Cal Poly
Pomonas Kellogg West Conference Center on April 30, from 1 to 4 p.m.
Citrus College student transfers reach an all-time high

Citrus College has achieved a new record for the number of students who transfer to four-year colleges and universities.
A report from the colleges Office of Institutional Research, Planning and Effectiveness revealed that during
the 2014-2015 academic year, 1,234 Citrus College students transferred to UC and CSU schools, private fouryear institutions in California or out-of-state colleges or
universities. That number reflects a 67 percent increase compared to students who transferred during the
2002-2003 academic year, the first year the data was
recorded.
The recent report concerning Citrus Colleges transfers is wonderful news for the institution, Superintendent/President Geraldine Perri said. Many students
enter the college with transfer as their educational goal,
and the college community is dedicated to providing the
academic preparation and support services that allow these

students to transfer to the colleges of their choice.
Citrus Colleges success in educating students who
transfer to four-year colleges and universities is a
byproduct of its longstanding commitment to college
completion.
In recent years, the provisions of the Student Transfer Achievement Reform (STAR) Act provided a pathway for Californias community college students to earn
Associate Degrees for Transfer (ADTs), increasing opportunities for them to enter a California State University with junior status. Today, Citrus College offers associate degrees for transfer in 18 programs of study.
Donna Phillips is one of the many students who has
benefitted from the programs and services that allow Citrus students to transfer.Ms. Phillips, who graduated from
the college in 2007, transferred to Pitzer College and is
currently completing a masters degree in English literature from Claremont Graduate University.
Citrus College provided me with the academic
skills I needed to thrive in the challenging realms of higher education, Ms. Phillips said.The college presents
a welcoming atmosphere for students who have made
the important decision to empower their lives and futures
through education.
Clareremont resident Sue Keith, who is president of
the Citrus Community College District Board of
Trustees, emphasized that she and the entire Citrus community are immensely proud of students who have
made it to the four-year schools of their choice.
I commend them for their accomplishments, and I
thank the faculty and staff who have worked so diligently
to ensure student success, she said.

outstanding liens that may exist on this property by
contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a
fee for this information. If you consult either of these

Claremont author helps youth find voices through writing

poem from the 2013 competition entitled
god, (excerpted below) by a then 17year-old Kennedy Valenzuela of La
Verne.
So, i downed the pills with my own
tongue, slashed each wrist with my
own fingers, tied the noose with
precision and jumped off the bridge,
turned on the faucet,
and swallowed the bullet,
just like i vowed.
because i hate

promises.

Querida Q Pearce
that she couldnt. And
now, looking back on a career
in which shes published more
than 150 books, the awardwinning Claremont author is in
the business of passing that gift
of encouragement on to young
writers.
Ms. Pearce, along with Judy Nelson of

Mrs. Nelsons Toy and Book Shop, established Mrs. Nelsons Young Writers Award
19 years ago. On Sunday, April 17, the
women will hand out the 2016 awards at
the dA Center for the Arts in Pomona.

Ms. Pearce who, along with her husband
Bill, has lived in Claremont since 1989.
The couples daughter Kaitlyn, a recent
graduate of San Francisco State University, lives in the Bay Area.
Helping young people find their voice
though writing has been rewarding for
Ms. Pearce. She related the story of one

past five years.

hes developed. And I know hes going to

go on and do amazing things. I just know
it, she said. And I feel like, Wow, I got
to be part of that. Its just this little thing,
you know? Encouraging him. I cant help
but think somewhere in there, this little
nod to Yeah, you can do this, helps to
encourage that.
Its a tough job, picking the best from

the dozens of entries.
Theres so much heart there, she explained. Theres so much beauty. Sometimes they make me laugh hysterically,
and sometimes they make me cry. Sometimes its really hard to make a decision.
Ms. Pearce sited another example, a
The ache of the young writer poured

from the page, full of visceral, unsettling
imagery.
It hung with me. I see an entire journey in that piece. A teenager who is
touched by the darkness that we all see so
many of our teens go through. And yet
she works this whole thing through, and
comes out the other side, not saved, but
with a course of action. In this one poem,
she goes from darkness to the light. Its
just really, really stuck with me.
Ms. Pearce was near tears after reading

young mother.
Elbows kissing knees,
I sit
Curling, twisting a single strand of auburn hair
I watch my little girl
With her cotton candy cheeks and teacup smile
Her coffee eyes bore into mine, and I realize
She is half me
Yet far more than half me
Baby I tell her, dont be like me.
Dont shrink in your chair every time a substitute
teacher calls out your lemon-flavored last name
Just because your fathers fathers fathers father
happened to be white
But everyone else around you
Is not
Baby I tell her, dont be like me.
Amazing, huh? she said. And shes obviously rethinking everything because she has a child. Thats the
thing with writing: It lets you get these things out. Its really hard to get these things out otherwise, unless you
write them on the page.
Ms. Pearce recalled her own start as an eight-year-old
second-grader, when her scary story won a writing contest at her Florida elementary school.
I loved scary. I used to scare all the neighborhood
kids, she reflected. One mother asked my mother to tell
me to stop it, because her daughter was having nightmares.
By seventh grade, Ms. Pearce and her family had relocated to Palm Springs, where she won another school
writing contest.
And from then on, I always wrote, she said. And
then I learned that there were people who did that for a
living. So I was really curious about that.
Her curiosity led to countless submissions to Rod Ser-
lings Twilight Zone Magazine (1981-1989), none of

which were published.
I must have submitted every other month, probably 20
or 30 times, she explained. I never got anything in it.
But I just loved it.
The writers perseverance finally paid off in the late
1980s when, after a friend recommended her to Los Angeles publisher Lowell House, she published her first
book. The How and Why Activity Book for Dinosaurs
was the beginning of a prolific career writing primarily
for young readers. She went on to pen 10 volumes of her
Scary Stories for Sleepovers series, with sales in the millions. And now, with Mrs. Nelsons Young Writers Award,
she is in a position to help other young people feel the excitement of competingand winningin a writing contest.
It was big deal, Ms. Pearce said. And it still is.

have a fruit and vegetable garden, others include edibles in ornamental beds. All are beautiful, useful and
sustainable.
Excerpts from the owners descriptions include:
The big camphor in the back that was planted in
1956, the Chinese elm and the pine tree all have
grown to make wonderful shade, a premium in southern California, but shade and roots make gardening
challenging.

Pitching dominates as CHS softball loses opener
ormer major league pitcher Warren

Spahn once said that Hitting is
timing and pitching is upsetting
timing. And that is exactly what Bonita
junior Destinee Lopez did to Claremont at
home on Wednesday, as the Bearcats
blanked the Pack 3-0 in the Palomares
League opener.
Lopez pitched the entire game, striking out 14, with
many batters frozen watching the umpire punch them
out for strike three. Her stuff was so good, many batters were also flummoxed swinging at pitches out of
the strike zone.
This was not the Claremont team that had been
burning up the competition so far this year, and it was
a wake-up call, according to Coach Vincent Hernandez.
To be fair, Claremont played well and they were
able to hit Lopezs pitches on occasion, but the Pack
left way too many runners stranded, including in the
sixth inning when lead-off batter Kalena Jimenez hit a
double. But in a perfect synopsis of the overall game,
Lopez struck out the next three batters.
With one out and the bases loaded in the fourth inning, Claremont showed some serious moxie in getting out of a very tight spot. Bonitas Megan Jones hit
a hard ground ball directly at pitcher Alexis Jimenez,
who shot the ball back to the plate for the force-out,
then catcher Cady Giles completed the double play
with the throw to first.
The game was scoreless until the fifth inning when
lead-off hitter Morgan Dunville singled. Sensing trouble, Coach Hernandez replaced Jimenez with Kelly
OToole. The next player up, Leticia Morales, executed a flawless bunt, gaining first for herself while
advancing Dunville to third. In a distraction play,
Morales tried to steal second, drawing the throw from
the catcher, allowing Dunville to easily score. Adding
insult to injury, Morales was safe at second.
Bonita scored again in the sixth inning when Jones
hit a double, scoring Lopez from first. And the
Bearcats put the icing on the cake in the seventh
when Morales scored from third on a sacrifice ground
ball by Lauren Flores.
She got how many strike-outs, maybe 15? And
CHS WEEKLY ROUNDUP

BASEBALL
Claremont High had a rough day, taking on South Hills at home in a game that
was rescheduled because of rain. The
Huskies came out swinging with two
runs in the first inning and didnt look
back as they won easily, 8-1.
Sophomore Jake Holcroft got the
Packs only run and a hit. Junior Jake
Gentry had three hits and one RBI.
Sophomore Andrew Beauvais pitched
four innings, giving up four hits and four
runs while striking out two. Two relievers, Cory Smith and Merrick Hummer,
gave up an additional four hits and four
runs.
The Pack also lost to Bonita on
Wednesday at home, 10-3.
Leading the Packs offense were Junior Matt Hohn who had a RBI double
and Cole Prentice who had two hits and
one run. The other two runs came from

that hasnt happened to us before, so hats off to her,

she pitched a good game, Coach Hernandez said.
But our girls didnt adjust to the outside pitch. The
umpire was calling them outside, but you have to deal
with that.
That was a good wake-up call for my girls, he
said. It is not going to get any easier in this league,
they all have good pitchers. We have to work on our
bats.
If she gets ahead early it helps her, Bonita coach
Darren Baumunk said of Lopez, the teams top
pitcher.
We had a lot of hard hits. One inning, we hit the
ball too hard and they got a double play, said Coach
Baumunk. But we got some timely hitting when we
needed it. Bunting was good, as was execution on our
short game, which helped us out.
The Pack is now 12-3 overall and 0-1 in league.

ESTATE OF LEONA MAE DYNES
Case No. BP172465
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in
the will or estate, or both, of LEONA MAE DYNES
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Joseph
E. Hilke in the Superior Court of California, County of
LOS ANGELES.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that
Joseph E. Hilke be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
THE PETITION requests the decedent's will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any
codicils are available for examination in the file kept
by the court.
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 May 27,
2016 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. 99 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 un-

It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a
trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on
the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee
auction does not automatically entitle you to free and
clear ownership of the property. You should also be
aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you
are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to
investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding
liens that may exist on this property by contacting the
county recorder's office or a title insurance company,
either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you
should be aware that the same lender may hold more
than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown
on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more
times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court,
pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.
The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you
wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed,
and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the
sale of this property, you may call, 1-800-280-2832 for
information regarding the trustees sale or visit this Internet Web site, www.auction.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number
assigned to this case, T.S.# 9986-8339. 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 ver-
25
ify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. 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. NBS
