Dear Editor: When President Obama took office in 2008, he inherited two wretched wars and the worst recession in 80 years. Through his policies in the last six years, Mr. Obama has: Rescued major financial institutions from a catastrophe of their own making, thus keeping the recession from tumbling into a full-blown depression; Prevented the collapse of America's auto industry; Brought health care to millions who lacked it, an achievement that has eluded presidents for more than half a century;
Closed out two wars; Established diplomacy rather than military bullying as the best method of solving foreign-relations problems; Brought dignity and world-wide respect to the presidency. Mr. Obama has achieved all this while contending with opposition politicians whose shameful goal was to cause, if they could, the failure of Americas first black president. Now comes Jack Sultze to rhetorically wonder if America will survive Obama. Yes, Mr. Sultze, it will (see above).

Scrawled words, controversial flag spark fear, anger at CHS
Claremont Police Corporal Jacob Tillman keeps an eye out while patrolling Claremont High School on Thursday.
etween a gun scare and a controversial incident involving the Confederate flag, Claremont High School has had an eventful week.
On Wednesday, graffiti was found scrawled in a boys restroom in the 800 quad of the CHS campus indicating that a student planned to bring a gun to school the following day. The threat did not target a particular student or group of students, nor were any faculty or staff members mentioned. The Claremont Police Department has determined that the graffiti does not represent a credible threat. Given todays heightened wariness of school violence, however, the situation has received significant media attention. The story was aired on KCAL9 and on ABC7 Eyewitness News, among other TV news programs. At 8 a.m. on Thursday, Claremont High School Principal Brett OConnor emailed a statement to CHS parents, which was also forwarded to the COURIER. Out of an abundance of caution, he said, there would be an increased police presence as well as additional school staff and district administrators stationed on campus throughout the day. It was evident during a 9 a.m. visit to the campus that many parents were heeding the adage, It is better to be safe than sorry. With many students kept home for the day, the usually crowded parking lot was half empty. A few of the vacant spots were occupied by two news vans. The Claremont Police Department emphasizes that the safety of students, staff and faculty is a primary concern. Yesterday, four officers, one on a bicycle, spent the day patroling the CHS premises. While we do not believe the threat is credible, we still remind everyone to be ever-vigilant in their daily activities and to always report anything suspicious or out of the ordinary to their local police or sheriffs department, Claremont police urged in a Thursdaymorning release. They continue to investigate the incident and ask anyone with information regarding the graffiti to contact the Claremont Police Department or Claremont High School. The flag was still there Last week, another incident had emotions running high among the Claremont High School community. On the afternoon of Wednesday, March 12, the Class of 2014 gathered on the football field for the traditional senior class photo. As the picture is meant to be included in the center of the Wolfpack yearbook, students were cautioned to keep things classy and refrain from displaying any signs, banners or hand gestures. Despite the warning, a few students came to the shoot equipped with small signs and banners. One group of boys brought a Confederate flag. The students held the flag at waist level for much of the shoot.

It is not clear how many shotssnapped by a photographer standing on an elevated scissor liftincluded the flag. When the photographer encouraged the students to blow off some steam in a silly shot, most of the kids contented themselves with hand gestures or funny faces. Several, however, hoisted the Confederate flag. At no time did the three CHS administrators supervising the photo spot the Confederate flag, according to Mr. OConnor. The situation was brought to the administrations attention when a few upset and offended students notified them after the shoot. They acted quickly, according to a release sent to the CHS community as well as the COURIER last Friday. The administrators contacted the parents and guardians of the students holding the Confederate flag that same day to inform them of what had occurred and that at investigation would follow. The students involved have been counseled and faced consequences, according to the release. Another student, who wished to remain anonymous, stated that the participating boys received a punishment under the category of disruption, which ranges from a detention to a suspension depending on the level of the offense. The student continued, A lot of the student body, myself included, want a formal apology from these students and so a petition will continue for that. The photographer was able to capture many images that were appropriate for the school yearbook, so there is no need for a re-shoot. The offending image, however, has made its way onto various Facebook pages. In the aftermath of the incident, students are engaging in what Mr. OConnor characterizes as an appropriate and healthy debate over the meaning of the display. The Confederate flag served as the official flag for the 11 states that seceded from the Union before or during the Civil War, asserting that the federal government was intruding on states rights. One of the main rights in contention was the ability to keep slaves. As a result, many people view the Confederate flagsometimes called the Southern Cross as a sign of white supremacy. It is an impression that schools across the nation are taking seriously. Last year, two students from Tahoma High School in Washington were suspended after arriving at school wearing

T-shirts emblazoned with the Confederate flag. Supporters of the Southern Cross assert that the controversy is due to over-zealous political correctness. They say that the Confederate flag is not a racist symbol but instead a regional onea sign of Southern pride. Both of these views were reportedly expressed in a forum held at CHS yesterday, in which students were encouraged to voice their opinions and concerns about the presence of the Confederate flag at a school photo shoot. Mr. OConnor has expressed his hope that the occurrence will serve as a learning experience. The actions of a handful of students displaying the Confederate flag at a large class photo were, at the minimum, disruptive and disrespectful to many students, he wrote. It is my hope that all CHS students will use this incident as an opportunity to dialogue and reflect on how our actions can be offensive and harmful to others. Sarah Torribio

Claremonts new mayor gets down to business
oe Lyons is not one to say no. The lifelong proponent of volunteerism admits its a characteristic that sometimes gets him into trouble as he piles on new and challenging duties. His latest volunteer position, however, is a welcome addition to his full schedule as he takes on the title of Claremont mayor for 20142015.
With that role comes heightened responsibility. Staying true to his style, however, the council member has hit the ground running. In the first week since his election, the new mayor has attended the LA County library commissionchaired by Claremonts new Mayor Pro Tem Corey Calaycaytraveled downtown with other local mayors to get up to speed on the doings of the Metropolitan Transit Authority, taken a trip to Yosemite for a sustainability conference and met with a concerned citizen about the citys interest in purchasing the water system. All this in addition to serving as the chair of the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments housing, community and economic development committee and serving on a similar committee for the League of California Cities. He is also fiercely committed to supporting the efforts of advocacy groups such as TriCity Mental Health, the Pomona Valley Chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness. It might be enough work for several individuals, but Mr. Lyons is taking his latest additions in stride. Claremont is an active place with so many active volunteers, he said. Its what our city is all about. His need to give back in a more meaningful way is what drove him to run for city council in 2011. With former Mayor Linda Elderkin announcing her intent to step down, Mr. Lyons found his opportunity to come forward. I didnt see any candidates as strongly aligned with her philosophy of both collegial governments and civility at the dais, Mr. Lyons said. I decided to Wednesday, March 12 For the second week in a row, Claremont crooks have found unlocked bathroom windows to be their window of opportunity. A home in the 4000 block of Piedmont Mesa Drive was burglarized sometime between 4:30 and 8:00 p.m. $1900 in stolen jewelry and a laptop went right out the window. There are no suspects. Thursday, March 13 Police responded to another report of property loss the following day in the 400 block of St. Augustine Ave. The victim claimed $845 in property including an iPad, Nikes and a medical marijuana card were taken from his car, parked along the south Claremont street. Also missing: properly locked doors. A report of theft was taken, but there are no witnesses and no suspects. **** Police are puzzling over a case of vandalism that occurred in the 2300 block of Wood Court on Thursday around 11:30 p.m. A residents window was found broken with a BB-sized hole in the middle of the glass. A report was taken, but there are currently no leads. Friday, March 14 Allen Perez, a 40-year-old Claremont

run because I thought I could give that principle and philosophy a voice. Mr. Lyons prides himself on his lifelong mission to provide a voice to the voiceless. Its a characteristic instilled in him since childhood. A product of the 1960s, Mr. Lyons grew up in a progressive family, deemed liberal even for the time. Politics and the role of government were frequent dinner-table discussions. How government should act as opposed to how it was acting and the safety nets that were put in place such as the fair housing laws in place at the time were all certainly part of the family conversation, all
of which I was in support of, he said. Always a proponent of social justice, his course in support of equality was set in the early 1960s when his family made the move from the suburbs of Boston to California. The family had two choices: travel through the north and risk bad weather, or travel the southern route and head right into what might be some difficult situations in respect to the civil rights conflict going on at the time. The family choice was to head south. Mr. Lyons says he was shocked by what he witnessed.

resident, had a case of deja vu on Friday evening after being contacted by police for the second time that day for the same reason. Police found Mr. Perez taking a nap in the 400 block of Green St., his body in the bushes with his legs sprawled out on the street. He was unable to hold himself steady and needed assistance in sitting up as he was treated by medical examiners, according to Lieutenant Mike Ciszek. It was determined that he was heavily intoxicated. Mr. Perez was arrested for public intoxication and held at the jail until sober. Mr. Perez had been arrested earlier in the day for the same offense. **** A Claremont resident is out over $6,000 from an elaborate fraud scheme. Troubles began when the local received a phone call from an individual who claimed to be from the IRS and requested the resident pay back taxes worth $6137. The victim followed the supposed IRS officers directions, purchasing a series of prepaid debit cards to pay off the debt. It wasnt until after the transaction had already gone through that the Claremonter realized he was a victim of fraud. IRS representatives remind the public that they will never request credit card numbers over the phone, nor request an over-the-phone transfer. Any of these types of incidents should be reported to the treasury inspector general for tax administration at (800) 3664484. Saturday, March 15 It wasnt the driver who had road rage in an incident that occurred off Indian Hill and Ventura Way on late Saturday afternoon. Police pulled a car over for multiple traffic violations, including a child not wearing a seatbelt. The driver cooperated as officers issued tickets, but passenger Wan Ching Lo was less compliant. The 38-year-old Walnut resident reportedly began screaming at officers when they attempted to issue her a citation for also not wearing a seatbelt. The woman was further combative with police, allegedly kicking and pinching officers when they attempted to detain her, according to Lt. Ciszek. She was booked and later released with a citation.
Sunday, March 16 The construction crew at Pomona Colleges Millikan Laboratory received an extra hand with renovations. An unknown crook helped themselves to four power cords found at the renovation site, 610 N. College Ave., leaving the construction crew out an estimated $1600. There is no surveillance footage of the incident. While crooks left the Millikan Laboratory without, a couple of vandals left residents of a Claremont McKenna College dormitory off Amherst Avenue with more than they bargained for by breaking into the hall lounge and tearing things apart. The lounge was found with a shattered glass door, cupboards with their doors ripped off, incidentally used to break the glass door, and all the furniture toppled. Reports were taken in both incidents on the college campuses. Monday, March 17 While construction crews headed home on Monday evening after a full days work at Base Line Road and Monte Vista Avenue, the work for someone continued. An unknown person allegedly operated a forklift left on site to load up and carry away 198 pieces of plywood. The loss is worth an estimated $2970.

Eatery brings elegant culinary touches to menu, decor
ardot, a chic new Village eatery, opened its doors on the corner of Harvard and Bonita Avenues for the first time this week. The new business replaces the longstanding Harvard Square cafe, which closed in 2012.
The beloved bistro might be a part of the citys past, but a couple of the restaurants familiar faces have returned to revitalize the popular Claremont corner spot. While Harvard Squares famed front patio still remains, Bardot is a far cry from the old establishment. Nearly two years of renovations now reveals a glitzy new interior with a large square bar at the restaurants center and 60sand 70s-style decor throughout. The patio isnt the only thing familiar. Bardot is the brainchild of Chef Alain Fournier, who returns after originating Harvard Square in 1991. Though he moved on a few years later to focus his attention on Cafe Allegro in Upland and La Verne, where he continues to serve hungry patrons, the French culinary enthusiastic is happy to be back in his old haunt in Claremont. Joining him in his new venture is friend and coowner Philippe Catherine, also a former employee of Harvard Square. There are a lot of feelings and emotions for all of us associated with this location, Mr. Catherine said. All of the partners and people involved in the makeup of this company did, at one point or another, work here at Harvard Square. We are hoping to emulate the good vibes we had working here at that time. The pair also plans to bring back a little of the buildings history. Before becoming a restaurant, the space served as part of the Village Theatre, built in the 1940s from the estate of silentscreen legend Harold Lloyd. While the theater is a thing of the past, Mr. Fournier and Mr. Catherine plan to harken back to those days with silent black-and-white films to be projected on the wall outside once weather becomes more stable. The title of the restaurant also fits into the cinematic theme, named after the famous French bombshell Brigitte Bardot, for whom both entrepreneurs fostered childhood crushes. The inside lives up to its name sleek high-back booths lend the restaurant glamor along with other elegant interior touches like the vintage-inspired wallpaper and specially-made water fountain in front. In fact, every aspect of Bardot was made to customfit the restaurateurs vision of a hip, yet refined dining space. The menu caters to the same vision with a selection of small plates, sandwiches and more ritzy main courses with prices ranging from $6 to $38. We hope to appeal to someone who wants to have a quick lunch or is on a

budget, but by the same token cater to people who want to go out for a special occasion, three- or four-course dinner, Mr. Catherine said. A couple Harvard Square favorites return to the menu, the Warm Oriental Chicken Salad and the Chicken Burger Harvard Square. Other French favorites will remain on the menu, but Mr. Fournier says he will concentrate on a more eclectic type of cuisine at Bardot that he calls California fusion, incorporating American, Latin American and Asian dishes. It gives you a little more freedom culinarily, Mr. Fournier said. Instead
of sticking to the same old cuisine or age-old recipes done over and over, we can infuse a little creativity. One of Mr. Fourniers more recent masterpieces is Duck Taco a lOrange, an orange-marinated duck confit with salsa quemada, onions, cilantro and orange zest on a corn tortilla for $6. Another creation is Colorado Lamb Chops, placed on a grilled mint Jalapeno quinoa with white raisins, flash-seared cherry tomatoes and lamb jus for $38. His family fostered his artistry in the kitchen, developed over the last 40 years as a chef, at an early age. Mr.
Fournier says his family still remains adept at making ordinary dishes extraordinary. After receiving his foundational skills in France and what Mr. Fournier admits was a considerable amount of hard work, the cook moved to the United States where he worked in Los Angeles before venturing into the entrepreneurial realm with the opening of Harvard Square. He looks forward to continuing his culinary tour de force in Claremont. Cooking is about passion, and there is a certain satisfaction out of pleasing the people you serve, Mr. Fournier said. It brings flavor to life. Bardot, located at 206 W. Bonita Ave., is open Monday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. A weekend brunch is in the works, but plans have not yet been solidified.

A slice of life in Claremont

By John Pixley
t is called food porn. I thought it was one of those crazy things that I sometimes hear aboutat least as crazy as it soundedbut then I kept seeing friends and other people doing it. They probably do it in their kitchens and dining rooms, but I see them doing it usually in restaurants and sometimes in dining halls. It isnt something they are ashamed of. In fact, theyre proud of doing it.

pies and snapping photos. Even more than usual in the Village, with its plethora of eateries, opportunities to take and upload pictures of mouth-watering crusted delights were served up in generous portions at this second annual event. I was away last year when it was held in July. Hopefully, the crowd was bigger this time, with fewer people out of town, even though it may have felt a bit too much like summer for some. Actually, this was an ideal time for this festival. Although it was a warm winterwhat winter?the last two or three weeks have been particularly pleasant, with getting out all the more inviting. The recent big storm definitely made a difference, refreshing us at last and reminding us that, even without winter, spring is on the way. Not only was the Claremont Pie Festival a nice way to follow the spring urge to get out of the house and get together with others in the community, it has occurred to me that it is an ideal Claremont happening, especially with all the pictures being taken and shared with phones. It is Claremont at its not-so-small-town, small-town best. From the time when I saw the first advertisements for this years pie festival, I thought of the Rodgers and Hammersteins Oklahoma. The day was indeed not unlike the pie social in the musical, where pies are auctioned off along with the women who made thema traditional fun break taken together, a gathering in celebration of community. No question it was old-fashioned, even quaint, with the pie eating contests (Ive only seen that in movies, a friend commented) emceed by the city manager, a string band playing, a parade and contests for aprons. And, of course, the awards for best pies made. This was all straight out of a homesteading town on the prairie. But it was also all very modern, all very 2014, with people doing food porn. All these activitiesthe eating, the music, the parading, the demonstrationswere
They get their food, say, at a restaurant and then they get out their phone (iPhone, Smartphone, whatever) and snap a picture of the food. Usually, its because it looks so good, either because of the presentation or because its something they love or both. Taking the picture is only the first step, though. They then share the picture, pretty soon, if not, immediately, for many or all to see. Pretty soon, if not, immediately, they post the photo online (on Facebook, Instagram, whatever). Like I said, food porn is something to show off and take pride in, not to keep secret and be ashamed of. Or, to put it another way: It is said that were getting to the point, if were not there already, where we live online. Why not eat online? Maybe I should have taken a picture of the apple pie I bought in Julian in the fall and posted it for all to see. I have always heard about the apple pies in Julian and, when I went to a weekend retreat just outside of town in November, I decided to stop by a bakery and buy a pie before heading home. Actually, it was an apple crumb pie, and I have never had anything like itwith its abundance of perfectly-spiced, perfectly-cooked fresh apples and its caramelized crisp-like crust. Having it warm with ice cream was almost too good, too extravagant. Gilding the lily, as my grandmother used to say. I have to say that I cant wait to go to the retreat again this fall and pick up another one of those pies on the way home. It was definitely a highlight, perhaps even worth posting online. There was probably plenty of food porn going on at the Claremont Pie Festival last Saturday, speaking of
being photographed, videotaped and probably posted online by dozens and dozens of phones. There was also the woman in the pie eating contest with all her brilliant tattoos, doing a fierce, impressive job on her two-and-a-half-pound chocolate cream pie (a job much harder than it sounds), cheered on for grrrl power. Small-town but not-so-small-town. This was also a good time for the pie festival, not just with last Friday being International Pi Day (3/14) but also because spring and summer are on their way with all their fantastic berries and stone fruits. Sure, Im looking forward to fall when I can get that apple crumb pie, but Ill only have to wait a few weeks or so, if that, to eat some fantastic fresh fruit pies. In fact, it is just about time for me to enjoy my fresh strawberry pie. I enjoy two or three of these pies every spring when fresh strawberries are available. It was originally a recipe for peach pie, but I think its even better with strawberries with their touch of acidity and its terrific with vanilla ice cream. Its an icebox pie, but the key to it is the crusta sweet shortbread crust with, of course, real butter. It wont work with a standard store-bought crust. In the spirit of the Claremont Pie Festival, where recipes were handed out in Village shops in some clever marketing, heres the recipe: Fresh Strawberry Pie 23 boxes of strawberries 1 cup flour 1 stick butter 2/3 cup + cup + cup sugar cornstarch 1. Make crust with flour, butter and 2/3 sugar, fit it in pan and chill it before baking. (Adjust sugar amount to make crust easier to cut.) 2. Prick crust with a fork and bake at 300 degrees for 10-20 minutes, until it smells ready and is light brown, and set aside to cool. 3. Cut up 2/3 of the strawberries, mix with cup sugar and put in cooled crust. 4. Cut up the rest of the strawberries and blend with cup sugar until liquid. Simmer this mixture until translucent, adding cornstarch to thicken if desired (I dont), and drizzle over berries. 5. Refrigerate pie before eating. Pictures can be taken anytime.
Cheers!
Gleaning insipiration, lessons from our college students

By Rev. Brad Tharpe, Chaplain of The Claremont Colleges
or a dozen years, it has been my pleasure to work professionally with undergraduate and graduate students. Currently, as one of the chaplains to The Claremont Colleges, I see my work as a part of the broader educational mission of higher education and strive to come alongside students as they integrate spiritual and emotional growth with their intellectual development.
Inter-Faithfully SPEAKING
meaningful relationships that honor particularity and facilitate authentic and deep connection. The first: to know and be known by others, we have to hear one anothers stories. For example, I talked recently with a student who chose to take a 16hour car trip with two acquaintances that were seemingly very different than him. This travel was inspired partly by convenience, but also by a sincere desire to really get to know the other persons. This student knew that to really connect across difference, we have to share our stories and we have to seek out contexts in which stories can be told and heard. Once we see someone within their own narrative, quick judgments and easy categorization fall away. The second: we have to be willing to ask the hard questions of ourselves and others. This, in many ways, is at the core of a learning environment. As we are learning more about the world, we are challenged to learn more about ourselves and how we interact with one another. Higher education, at its best, challenges students to critically examine their own beliefs, assumptions and biases and provides a safe and inclusive context to do so. Though difficult for many at the outset, students often embrace the opportunity to explore the difficult questions and the implications of those questions on how they live with one another. This process, facilitated in both curricular and co-curricular ways, demands that students approach themselves and one another with a keen curiosity and a healthy humility. The third: we have to allow ourselves and others to change. When I ask students who are just starting their programs of study about their future plans, my favorite answer is I dont know. Many, perhaps most, undergraduate and graduate students will change their plans (i.e. major, concentration, career plan, etc.) multiple times. In addition to these concrete plans, students ideas and beliefs also evolve, often very rapidly. Though not without difficulty, they allow themselves and one another to change and develop; thus, they accept one another where they are and yet leave space for change. The fourth (and final): trusting often is better than not trusting, even if one experiences costly disappointment. Stereotypically, students can seem too trusting; just examine the number of unlocked bicycles that are stolen from campuses. Still, students often ap-
In this context, however, I have found that I am often in the position of the pupil and the students are my teachers. Perhaps more than anything else, students consistently exemplify ways to foster genuine connections with others. Though not perfectly, the students often find ways to have substantive interactions and real dialogue that transcend the barriers that so often divide us. Though technology is both enhancing and hindering these kinds of interactions, I find that students foster ways to be real with themselves and one another. In a world that is too sharply divided along religious, ethnic, political, or any of our other boundary markers, I want to share a few of the lessons that students teach me about building
proach new relationships from a basis of trust, meaning that some level of trust is often assumed and does not have to be earned. This, of course, is dangerous, but placing trust in others often inspires them to be more trustworthy. Instead of suspicion, beginning conversations from a foundation of basic trust can open the pathways for meaningful interaction. Obviously, college campuses are not ideal communities. Substance abuse, sexual assault and many other destructive forces are chronic problems across the country. Incidents of intolerance and bias occur too frequently and often with devastating effects. Students can and do engage in the polarization and division that characterizes much of our world. Still, as a group, I find their passion for authentic interaction and their willingness to take risks with one another to be inspiring. They are both open to and willing to work toward that great mystery we call community. There are, of course, those who look at the realities of our current political, cultural and religious context and consider the general student population to be inexperienced, uniformed and naive. As one who often learns from these students, however, Ive come to feel differently. If the kinds of authentic, boundaryhonoring and barrier-transcending interactions named above are considered naive, perhaps this is a naivet that needs to be reclaimed.

Steven Llanusa CUSD school board president
teven Llanusa may be president of the local school board and an active volunteer in an array of community organizations, including the Kiwanis Club of Claremont. He is, however, foremost a teacher, currently helming a 5th grade class at a magnet school in Bloomington.
So it makes sense that, when the COURIER sat down with him to discuss what hes been reading lately, the first book he named was a childrens title. Hes currently reading the Newbery Medal-winning The Westing Game, a 1979 murder mystery written by Ellen Raskin. The book follows the adventures of millionaire Sam Westings 16 heirs, who are challenged to solve the secret of the mans death. Each heir is a suspect. Its a great book for teaching character development and foreshadowing. I find good foreshadowing to be the mark of a good author, Mr. Llanusa said. Ive already told them well reread it once we finish it, so we can see School board president Steven Llanusa. how the clues are developed by the author. He has also read some of the childrens literature/ young adult series that have made a splash with his students in recent years, such as the adventures of Katniss of the Hunger Games. He was impressed with the many incidences of foreshadowing in J.K. Rowlings Harry Potter books and the well-drawn characters in Phillip Pulmans His Dark Materials trilogy, best known for the film adaptation The Golden Compass. Along with biography, Mr. Llanusas favorite genre is science fiction/fantasy, so he was swept up into Mr. Pullmans fictional universe, filled with witches, armored bears and the Northern Lights, which are imbued with mysterious powers. Accompanied by her ferret Pan (every child has a magical animal soul mate), a young tomboy named Lyra must do no less than save the world. The books have the universal themes like choice and destiny, even though they take place in a fantastical setting, Mr. Llanusa said.

The board member recalled how important reading was to him when he was a child. The first book he remembers reading was Dr. Seuss Green Eggs and Ham. I dont know if I read it so much as memorized it, he joked. By the time he was his students age, he was entranced with Hugh Loftings Doctor Doolittle stories, a dozen books about a doctor who can speak to animals. The series began as illustrated stories Mr. Lofting sent to his children from the trenches of World War II. Composing them which him a bit of escape and ensured that his letters home werent filled with the horrors of war. Young Steven also enjoyed Little Big Books, a series of small, compact books in which each page of text was accompanied by an illustration. Mr. Llanusas favorites among these were the adaptations of literary classics such as Tom Sawyer, Alice in Wonderland and Tarzan. His early love of reading has never faded. Mr. Llanusa, whose bedroom features three jam-packed bookcases, often has several books going at one time. Recent reads include abooks pertaining to education and todays young people. One of these is Barbara Colorosos The Bully, The Bullied and the Bystander: From Prechool to High SchoolHow Parents and Teachers Can Help Break the Cycle of Violence. Mr. Llanusa said
he has become increasingly concerned with how to help prevent bullying, particularly in the growing area of cyber-bullying. Its a topic pertinent to his teaching job, because his students are at an age where they are just beginning to experiment with social media such as Facebook and Twitter. He has also been reading Flip Your Classroom: Reach Every Student in Every Class Every Day by Jonathan Bergmann and Aaron Sams. Among other ideas, the authors suggest that teachers record their lectures and have students listen to them before coming to class. Class time can then be used for students to discuss concepts from the lecture, ask questions and try out problems. Mr. Llanusa said he isnt sure how practical this modus operandi would be at the elementary school level. He can, however, envision it being helpful in a high school math or science course, in which the instructor teaches several sections of the same subject. Mr. Llanusa doesnt always confine his reading to the topic of education. He recently completed My Inventions: The Autobiography of Nikola Tesla, the memoirs of a vastly influential scientist born in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Tesla most famously invented the alternating current method of harnessing electricity. It was a great read. He wrote in the early 20th century, so the vocabulary is
richer than a lot of todays writing, he said. Tesla describes almost kinesthesia, where he could imagine things visually and completely. He didnt need models or mock-ups [of his inventions]. He could do mental simulations. Now he is onto a biography called Alan Turing: The Enigma, an account of the life of a pioneering World War II code-breaker. He also regularly pores through the Sunday LA Times, the Claremont COURIER, MacWorld and other technical magazines as well as the LGBT-focused publications Out and the Advocate. How does Mr. Llanusa find the time to read so much, given his many responsibilities? One explanation is this: When he is not listening to NPR, he speeds up his daily commute by listening to audio books. He also plays audio books when he and his familywhich includes his husband, Claremont pediatrician Glenn Miya, and three adult sonsembark on road trips. Its also a matter of priorities. My mom always said you have enough time and money for what you really want, he said. Mr. Llanusa often borrows books and audiobooks from the Claremont Library. He also loves the Little Libraries, unofficial book-swapping sites that are spread across the city. He frequents one such book nook in particular, located at a residence near to Wolfes Market. When he wants a copy of a book he
suspects he will be reading again, he shops for reading material at Amazon, Audible.com or at thrift stores. Mr. Llanusa has several titles and authors he turns to again and again. One perennial favorite is Umberto Ecos The Name of the Rose, a murder mystery whose setting is an Italian monastery in the year 1327. Mr. Llanusa also finds himself returning to the works of Paul Monette, an author who wrote prolifically in the genres of fiction and nonfiction before dying of AIDS in 1995. Along with novels and essays, Mr. Monette was a master at autobiography, charting coming to terms with his homosexuality in Becoming a Man: Half a Life Story and his cataclysmic illness in Borrowed Time: An AIDS Memoir. Less heavy but no less beloved to Mr. Llanusa are the works of Steven R. Donaldson, an American writer specializing in the sci-i, fantasy and mystery genres. His most popular works are the 10-volume fantasy series The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. Thomas is a sardonic leper who is ostracized by society. As is the case in many compelling stories, his ultimate job is to save the world. I read many books repeatedly. I dont understand people who say theyve already read that book, as if theyve gotten everything from the book in one read, Mr. Llanusa said. Maybe they do, but I dont. Sarah Torribio

Rotary completes a water-wise landscape project at AbilityFirst
ne of the Rotary Club of Claremonts goals this year was to identify and complete a new service project. Under the leadership of project co-chairs Charles Carpenter and Al Herrlinger, a committee was formed to research potential service projects. AbilityFirst eagerly embraced Rotarys offer to help.
AbilityFirst in Claremont provides programs for children and adults with physical and developmental disabilities. The center features activity rooms, a computer lab, a specialized learning lab, an indoor swimming pool and an outdoor play area. A Claremont Rotary project in 1988 at the facility had included the installation of a childrens landscaped play area. Nearly 26 years later, the landscaping was overly mature and the irrigation system was not water-wise.
Photo courtesy of Rotary of Claremont Rotary of Claremont members Tom Shelley, Charles Carpenter and Dennis Smith work to beautify the planter outside AbilityFirst in Claremont.
The director shared that the centers high water bill was a huge concern. Large and woody bushes in the childrens play area, which were too near the sidewalk, was also as a safety concern as children often received
scratches from the bushes as they rode past on their tricycles. In addition, since little landscaping remained at the front entrance to the building, the director asked for help in restoring the area to create a warm and inviting welcome to students and visitors. When the committee recommended improving the landscaping in both the childrens play area and at the building entrance, it also recommended modifying the irrigation system by changing from sprinkler to drip. While approximately four dozen new plants for the landscape project were donated by a local landscaping firm, the clubs small budget for this project would cover the cost of the drip line. Mulch for ground cover is offered for free by the city of Claremont. At 8:30 a.m., Claremont Rotarians showed up to work. Joining in the fun was a representative from the Rotaract Club at The Claremont Colleges. Rotarys exchange student from Germany, Philippe Schicker, who attends Claremont High School, also showed up to work. In the end, some 31 Rotarians contributed to the projects success.

CGU announces Kingsley, Kate Tufts poetry awards
laremont Graduate University has announced Afaa Michael Weaver as the winner of the 2014 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award.
The $100,000 award, presented each year to a midcareer poet, is one of the largest poetry prizes in the nation. It is hoped that the money allows a writer to continue working towards the pinnacle of their craft. Mr. Weaver is the author of 12 books of poetry, the most recent of which is The Government of Nature. It explores the trauma of his childhood, including sexual abuse, and employs a cartography and thematic structure drawn from Chinese spiritualism. A native of Baltimore, Mr. Weaver was the oldest of five children born to a beautician mother and a steelworker father. After dropping out of college, he worked in a factory for 15 years while juggling the responsibilities of fatherhood with his growing interest in writing. During this time, he founded a small press and literary magazine. In 1985, Mr. Weaver enrolled in Brown University, where he earned his MFA and garnered a national arts fellowship. He has served as a professor at Rutgers, as a Fulbright Scholar and as the first African American poet in residence at Bucknell University. He is now a professor at Simmons College in Boston. Mr. Weaver, who currently teaches at Simmons College in Boston, won the Pushcart Prize in Literature in 2013 for his poem Blues in Five/Four/The Violence in Chicago. The work is characteristic of Mr. Weavers style, which echoes the gospel and blues ethos of his mother and father who were themselves the children of farmers in southernmost Virginia, ac-
cording to The Poetry Foundation. In movies about the end of our civilization toys fill the broken spaces of cities, flipping over in streets where children are all hoodlums, big kids painting themselves in neon colors, while the women laugh, following the men into a love of madness. Still shots show emptiness tearing the eyes of the last of us who grew to be old, the ones the hoodlums prop up in shadows, throwing garbage at us, taping open our eyes, forcing us to study the dead in photos torn from books in burned down libraries. Chicago used to be Sundays at Gladys Luncheonette where church folk came and ate collard greens and chicken after the sermons that rolled out in black churches, sparkling tapestries of words from preachers mouths, prayer books, tongues from Tell Me, Alabama, and Walk On, Mississippi. Now light has left us, the sun blocked out by shreds of what history becomes when apathy shreds it, becoming a name the bad children give themselves as they laugh and threaten each other while we starve for the laughter we were used to before the end came. Yona Harveys Hemming the Water earned her the Kate Tufts Discovery Award, a prize presented to a first poetry book of genuine promise. Ms. Harvey will receive $10,000. Her poetry and prose have appeared in publications such as jubilat, Callaloo, Crab Orchard Review, Rattle and The Volta. Her honors include a Virginia Cen-
ter for the Creative Arts residency and an Individual Artist Grant in Literary Nonfiction from The Pittsburgh Foundation. She is assistant professor of English at the University of Pittsburgh. The annual presentation of the Kingsley & Kate Tufts Poetry Awards and an associated poetry reading will be held on Thursday, April 10 at 5 p.m. at Balch Hall, located at 1030 Columbia Ave. in Claremont. As seats fill up quickly, guests are asked to RSVP by calling (909) 621-8974.
Drowning in Drought: interncurated exhibition at Scripps

As water restrictions in cities parallel cuts to agricultural supply, the scant rainfall will continue to have profound implications on the lives and livelihoods of California residents. The Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallerys third annual intern-curated exhibition, Drowning in Drought: Selections from the Scripps College Collections, explores varying conditions in California and elsewhere, from the vastness of the parched desert dunes to the misty ocean waves. Curated by Scripps students, Wilson interns Kaela Nurmi and Katie Shulman and Turk intern Bonnie Siler, the opening reception, featuring light refreshments, will be held at Gallery 112 on Wednesday, March 26, from 6 to 8 p.m. The gallery is located in the Lang Art Building at Scripps College, 250 E. 12th St., between Columbia and Dartmouth avenues.

COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff Trisch Deehring tries to keep a good attitude as the pie-eating contest hits the final stretch during the second annual Claremont Pie Festival in the Village on Saturday. Ms. Deehring was making good progress on her chocolate cream pie but after eating most of it, she paused and commented, Im getting really full. Other festivities included live music, a pie baking contest and an apron contest.
he weekends weather served as the perfect setting for the team from Claremonts I Like Pie Bakeshop, who dished out sweet treats amid sunny skies at the second annual Pie Festival.
Claremont Pie Festival provides delectable treats for the taste buds
student category for her lemon meringue pie, and Patricia Lapiezo took home the overall prize for her tantalizing Its All About the Peanut Butter pie. Ms. Lapiezo must have a gift in the kitchen, because the dedicated baker also took home first place honors for her Paradise in a Pie custard creation and her Touch of Cherry Berry. The merriment wasnt restricted to Pie Festival headquarters at the Depot or the pie shop itself at 175 N. Indian Hill Blvd, Suite 102B. It was a communitywide effort. Down at the Packing House, the Chefs Academy led kids in pie-pop making, while Studio Claremont artists enjoyed making pie-inspired masterpieces. Throughout the Village, shop owners got into the spirit with participation in the scavenger hunt. Our goal was to encourage the festival folks to visit shops theyve never seen before, and elements of the festival like the Recipe Card Hunt and having various events in various locations were designed to accomplish this, Ms. Corbin said. Local businessfolk did their part to help Ms. Corbin in the pie festival preparation as well. The sweet shop owner credits the Village Marketing Group for their role in helping her and her staff pull it all off. The entire three weeks before the festival, it becomes my full-time job to prepare, she said. The Village Marketing Group (VMG) has become expert in such happenings with the annually sold-out
PIE FESTIVAL/continues on next page
The crowds arrived at the Claremont Depot on Saturday with their sunscreen and hunger in tow to enjoy a days worth of activities that included a pie baking contest, apron parade, face painting and, of course, the requisite pie eating contest. The brainchild of bakeshop owner Annika Corbin, the weekend affair was the second time Claremonters have gathered together in an ode to the crust-laden confection. The inspiration for the Pie Festival came as soon as I knew that I wanted to open a pie shop in town, she said. Claremont embraces the old and the new, which is exactly what the pie festival is all about. Pie signifies something different to everyone, but for many people its a sentimental part of their family history. My goal is to make it part of the present, for them and their children and grandchildren. The convivial spirit was certainly alive, with all things pie providing a platform for a range of familyfriendly activities these included pie making demos, a recipe card scavenger hunt and a classic car show, a highlight for young and old. The pie baking contest added further excitement to the days festivities, and a welcome indulgence for the days volunteer judges. First and second place honors went to six lucky bakers who competed for best cream, custard and fruit pies. Sydney Hwang took a break from her studies to compete and win the CUSD
Rows of pies wait for the final judging Saturday afternoon at the Pie Festival.

Wine Walk and Blues and Brews Village crawl, events that have helped boost the local economy. We introduce the Village and Claremont in general to a new audience and thus hope this new audience will spend money and help keep our independently-owned business owners smiling, said Joan Bunte, cofounder of VMG. Ms. Bunte, who recently closed her Village shop Stamp Your Heart Out to enjoy a well-deserved retirement, acknowledged that such community-wide events were crucial for her business. We often gave out bounce back coupons that gave the new customer a discount on their next visit. They always worked. We provided excellent customer service by making our guests feel special and welcome, she said. Its all about the
customers. They are our lifeblood of our businesses. We would go all out for them and, I promise you, it always paid off. The VMG looks to its customers for its latest campaign, to further the fun in Claremonts downtown with the addition of a band stage at Shelton Park. Local supporters have responded in spades. To date, more than $94,000 has been raised toward the groups goal of $100,000 to begin construction. With less than $6000 to go, group members are getting ready to throw another Village party. A fundraiser will be held on Sunday, April 6 from 4 to 7 p.m. at Walters Restaurant, 310 Yale Ave. Tickets are $35 a person, including hors doeuvres and a drink, and can be purchased at Aromatique, Bert & Rockys Cream Co., the Claremont Chamber and Rio de Ojas.

The well-designed garden
by Susan Schenk
hen I walk around the city, I look for gardens, big and small, that seem not only to embody principles of sustainability, but which add to the beauty of Claremont.
I admire some that are simple, some that are complex, some that grow edibles, some given over to annuals or shrubs, some replete with California natives and some full of exotics. Some I admire for neatness and symmetry, some for abundance and exuberance, some for usefulness, some for creativity. Clearly, they are an eclectic bunch, so what are the qualities that my favorite gardens share, regardless of size? Unity: There is a clear, unifying idea underlying the garden. The theme may be formal, cottage garden, sensory, meditation, California native, birds, garden art,
irises, vegetable, and so on. The design of the garden elements fits with the architecture of the home. Focal points: There are a few, but not too many, places that catch your attention, causing you to spend more time looking at them. A focal point might be a tree, a patch of brightly colored flowers, a bench, a raised bed, etc. Line: Generous lines are created by walkways and beds for the eye to follow. Form: The forms of the larger plants fit with the intent of the gardenweeping trees bring the eye down to the ground often to a focal point, vase-shaped trees provide shelter for sitting areas, rounded shrubs form a pleasant background to flower beds. There are some intermediate forms moving the eye from trees to flower beds. Texture: There is interest resulting from differences in the size and shape of leaves, the arrangement of leaves and branches, colors, the shiny or matte sur-
Demystifying
SUSTAINABILITY
faces of leaves, the interplay of light and shadow, the inclusion of hardscape elements. Color: The colors fit with the theme or intent of the area. A formal garden often has limited colors, a cottage garden, many. Red, orange, yellow are lively; blue, purple, green are more restful. Scale: The size of the plants is in keeping with the size of the house so that the house doesnt look dwarfed or loom over the landscape, but instead looks firmly anchored within it. Balance: Either there is symmetrical balance, in which the two halves of the area are essentially mirror images or asymmetrical balance in which the plant material may be different but the visual mass is the same; for example one side may have a shrub and tree and the other several shrubs, but the visual weight is the same. Repetition and variety: The same plants, colors, or textures are repeated in good-sized groups in a number of places to avoid the look of one of everything, but there is enough variety to avoid monotony. Movement: There is a feeling of movement given by a directed change throughout an area in some element--perhaps a progressive decrease in the leaf size, or in colors from red through orange to yellow.
Robert Schroeder
Bob Schroeder, a longtime Claremont resident, died on February 25, 2014 in Gardnerville, Nevada with his beloved wife of 54 years, Joanne, by his side. A 50-year member of the Fraternal Order of Free and Accepted Masons, Mr. Schroeder was a past master of Claremont Lodge No. 436. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Claremont Masonic Lodge, 272 W. Eighth St., Claremont, on Saturday, March 29 at 2 p.m. A reception will follow the service.
Surprise: There is some interesting element such as a statue seen only from one place, unique paving stones, or a surprising color combination. All of the Claremont gardens I admire give me ideas for mine. You can take the opportunity to get inspiration for your own garden by visiting six outstanding and varied local gardens on the 2014 Garden Tour Claremont Eclectic to be held Sunday, April 6 from 1 to 4 p.m. The ticket price includes admission to Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, as well as to the special Tomatomania event being held there. Tickets are $25 and may be purchased online at www.sustainableclaremont.org or under Events on the RSABG website, or at RSABG on the day. The tour is a fundraiser for the Sustainable Claremont Garden Club, the Claremont United Church of Christ, and Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Gardenits a chance to support some local non-profits, as well as have fun and get some great garden ideas.) Demystifying Sustainability is a project of Sustainable Claremont. Information about the SC Garden Club, which meets the second Wednesday of the month at Pilgrim Place, can be found by visiting, www.sustainableclaremont.org, where you can also find a list of actions to make your garden more sustainable. A new program called DRIP is forming with the aim of reducing landscape water use, and wed love to have your help getting it going.

MAYOR JOE LYONS continued from page 4
he signs [reading whites only] were so unabashedly and unashamedly displayed, and seeing lines at service windows of African American people and the counters inside the restaurants with all white people was a seminal moment in my life, Mr. Lyons reflected.
These were the injustices that, despite our constitution and despite the fact that everyone is protected and considered equal, made it apparent to me that something needed to be done, he continued. It really cemented my sense of the destructive nature of
segregation and social inequity. As a person and as a council member, he has made it his mission to continue to work towards helping the marginalized and to help create a sustainable future on all frontseconomic, environmental and social. To date, the council has been successful in these areas, bolstering city finances to a state of surplus, providing an update to the citys sustainability plan with the help of Sustainable Claremont and working with community groups to help the areas homeless population. As he embarks on his term as mayor, Mr. Lyons is making it his charge to continue the focus on sustainability issues. This includes moving forward with the affordable housing issue with care, and exploring the possibility of incorporating pocket neighborhoods or smaller areas with affordable housing instead of lumping it together into a large development. He says he will also encourage providing as much support as
possible, both emotional and financial, to aid Sustainable Claremont in furthering the mission of the citys sustainability plan. These focuses have been part of issues I have championed and been involved in, both in my private life and in my time on council, Mr. Lyons said. This is an opportunity to give them a voice. His aim is aided by the councils reputation for working together despite the 3-2 political split. He looks forward to continuing the citys work in this spirit. The principles on which we view things have been, at other levels of government, the source of much incivility and ineffectiveness, he said. Yet we have been able to act effectively because we can respect each others opinions, even if we dont agree on everything. For that I am very grateful.

ART SYMPOSIUM Known for his distinctive contribution to modernism, Alfredo Ramos Martnezs paintings and murals were deeply informed by both the European academic traditions he absorbed while traveling abroad and by the social and populist art beginning to take root in Mexico. Although initially hailed as an innovator, Mr. Martnez was quickly left on the outskirts of the artistic trends that dominated Mexico City in the 1920s when his peers, Diego Rivera, Jos Clemente Orozco and David Alfaro Siqueiroslos tres grandesand their rejection of Europe and academic traditions rose to prominence. Seeking opportunities to continue his own modernist style, he moved to Los Angeles. With the United States on the

Through March 31: For over 35 years, Robin Temaiana Repp has been documenting and commenting on our contemporary society with different photographic methods. Beginning in 1969-70, as a student at UC Berkeley, she created photo silk-screen images and transformed them into protest posters. Since then, she has presented photo imagery in paintings, woodcuts, lithography, drawings, collages, and sculptures. Her current work is digital infrared photography, which portrays the emotions of fear and anticipation in the landscape. The use of infrared photography suggests a surrealistic and dream like future state. Infrared wavelengths are not visible to the human eye, but become apparent in the photograph. In this same way that people are fascinated by the landscape but fear what it may hold, infrared photography shows us a hint of the unknown from a safe distance.

Boys tennis overpowers Ayala High in opening win
he afternoon sunlight glared as senior Cameron Lorek began a final showdown with Ayala High on Wednesday. As the wind picked up and specks of trash flew over the tennis court, Lorek stayed focused.
Both teamsthe Wolfpack and the Bulldogsstood on the other side of the fence and rooted for SPORTING their respective athLIFE letes. The match finally ended at 7-6, with Lorek adding another team point for the Wolfpack. The Wolfpack performed well for their first league meet against Ayala, winning 13-5. It was a great team effort, Head Coach Clint Rees said. The singles are on the verge of sweeping, but our doubles need some work. Before Loreks final standoff, he started his singles career strong with a 62 win in the first match. After a few adjustments, whether for overshooting the ball or making faults during a serve, Lorek adapted and added quick maneuvers to eventually defeat his opponent. He had a really big serve, Lorek said. I just had to keep on my toes and watch for his mistakes. Lorek said consistency has been an issue but, since his primary sport is soccer, his quick reflexes and strikes on the tennis court impressed Coach Rees. He won all three of his matches, giving the Wolfpack a distinct advantage. Sophomore Andrew Leahy also made three team points in singles and ended his first match in a sweep, 6-0. He finished the match quickly with few errors and had enough rest to face his next opponent. I felt very confident in myself, Leahy said. Tennis is all mental. The Bulldogs did notice some weak spots on the court in doubles play. However, that did not intimidate Chaska Yamane and Nauveen Mahideen. Both teammates worked so well together, they each knew what section of the court to cover. No ego, only synchronization. At deuce, 15-15, Yamane lofted the ball back to the Bulldogs. As their opponent hit back, Mahideen was in front and quickly produced a counterattack. Then Mahideen was trapped in a duel with a Bulldog. Each was only a few feet away from one another and both defended their territory. The ball kept moving back and forth and finally Mahideen struck in open territory, taking the point. Fatigue started to show and Yamane lost the first match 6-2 and second match 6-4. They did make a comeback, Rees said. But when you spend so much energy giving back, it sometimes takes a lot out of you. All was not lost as doubles freshman, brothers Hunter and Harrison Bojalad, won the third match, 6-4.
COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff Claremont High School sophomore Andrew Leahy returns a shot on Wednesday on his way to winning his first round-game against Ayala 6-0. the pack went on to win the match 13-5.
Sophomore Philippe Schicker also swept in singles. The final match was a challenge after being tangled from moving to every corner of the court, but Schicker managed to win, 6-2. His two previous matches both resulted in 6-1. The Wolfpack will face South Hills at 3:15 p.m. today, Friday, March 21, at Claremont High School. They will face Damien at 3:15 p.m. on Wednesday, March 26, again at CHS. Boys volleyball unable to finish late comeback Boys volleyball lost, 3-2, against Burbank High on Wednesday after al-
most making a compelling comeback. The Wolfpack won the third and fourth set25-23 and 27-25but lost in the fifth, 15-8. Claremonts Donovan Robinson lead the charge with 23 kills, with Eroni Vatuloka having 8 kills. Head Coach Bernie Wendling expressed little worry since the season just started and the team played through all sets, sending a clear message: They will not stop fighting. They guys have confidence, Coach Wendling said. Theyre now just experiencing the intensity of tougher games they will face in the season. Coach Wendling said there were some
mistakes made early on that inevitably put the Wolfpack in too large a hole to climb out of. Whether it was leaving space open or being unable to hit the ball over the net, the Pack will keep those errors in mind as they play in the Orange County Championships Friday and Saturday. The Wolfpack will first face Mission Viejo High at 3:30 p.m. on Friday at Estancia High School, then face Sage Hill High School at 6:30 p.m. at Marina High School. They will also face Woodbrige High School at 8 a.m. on Saturday at Estancia High School.

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, this information can be obtained from one of the following three companies: LPS Agency Sales and Posting at (714) 730-2727, or visit the Internet Web site www.lpsasap.com (Registration required to search for sale information) or Priority Posting and Publishing at (714) 573-1965 or visit the Internet Web site www.priorityposting.com (Click on the link for "Advanced Search" to search for sale information), or auction.com at 1-800-280-2832 or visit the Internet Web site www.auction.com, using the Trustee Sale No. shown above.

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 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 20130210200409. 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.
