The killing fields
Dear Editor: The recent tragedy at Newton is only the most recent example of how America has become the killing fields. Far too many of our fellow citizens die at the hands of gun violence. It is hard to imagine that 900 people have died just since the death of the 20 children and teachers at Newtown, Connecticut. The time has come for commonsense gun safety and control. The proposals suggested yesterday by President Obama all make sense, and would contribute to the reduction of gun deaths in this country. It is interesting to take note of the history of the National Rifle Association and discover that they too, sought restrictions on gun ownership and sought to have rules for gun safety. It is only in the last 40 years that the NRA has become more libertarian in their views. In poll after poll, the American people have indicated a willingness to have thorough background checks, so that we insure that criminals don't buy guns, and we should definitely work on having a data base with information so that people who have mental health issues do not have guns. Guns that should only be used by the military are also weapons that should not be sold to the general public, because their reason for existence is not for hunting but to kill people. The Second Amendment states that the right to bear arms is for a well-regulated militia. In the Federalists Papers #29, Hamilton speaks about the debate of the day for ratification centering around whether or not to have a standing army or a regulated militia of a state. They did not debate whether every-day citizens have the right to bear arms. Our history has had several examples of regulating the type of guns we can have. You may recall that after the 1930s, machine guns were eliminated from use by citizens. Government has the responsibility to see that we are safe. As a parent, I am tired of wiping tears from my eyes as a result of the death of too many innocent children. It is time to try to reduce these occurrences. Children have the right to grow up and have a life and not be deprived of the chance to fulfill their promise. This has been described as an uphill fight to see the passage of any meaningful bill to provide for more gun safety. But we should not hesitate to fight for this cause, because it is a fight worth fighting for, for our children and for our nations future. Gar Byrum

CITY NEWS
Multiple construction projects this week may cause traffic delays
series of projects throughout Claremont this week may cause traffic delays requiring re-routing of automobiles, according to the latest city managers report. A full report of construction projects is listed below.
Construction at Harrison Avenue and Indian Hill Boulevard The city of Claremont will soon start construction at the northeast corner of Indian Hill Boulevard and Harrison Avenue, according to the weekly city managers report. The project includes public rightof-way improvements to create an American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant pedestrian access to Mallows Park.
This accessible pedestrian route is being developed from the Harrison Avenue side of the park. The project includes the relocation of the existing Harrison Avenue access and the replacement of pathways to create an accessible path of travel to the easterly picnic table, the storage building at the west side of the park and the tennis court. The city awarded this project to Horizons Construction Company. The contractor is scheduled to start construction tomorrow, Thursday, January 24, with an anticipated completion by the end of February. The city manager warns that the public, in general, and nearby residents in particular might experience minor inconveniences associated with traffic control and temporary parking restrictions. Questions regarding the project should be directed to the citys Engineering Division at 399-5465.
Edison installing vault in Village Edison will be installing a vault on Second Street between Yale and Harvard Avenues this week. The work will be conducted at night, between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. Traffic will be affected in this area. Indian Hill Boulevard storm drain Construction on San Jose Avenue has been postponed to resolve problems encountered during trench excavation; however, placement of the storm drain line will continue on Indian Hill Boulevard. Work will continue during the day, with the installation of the storm drain on Indian Hill Boulevard, from San Jose Avenue moving north toward Vista Drive, this week. The storm drain trench work has moved north of the Indian Hill Boulevard and San Jose Avenue intersection. Temporary measures will be
taken with traffic control, including placing the traffic signal at Indian Hill Boulevard and San Jose Avenue on flashing operation, and reducing the northbound traffic to one through lane, according to the city manager. Drivers may want to avoid the intersection or allow additional time to travel through the construction zones. Signs have been posted on the freeway to alert drivers of the possible delays on Indian Hill Boulevard and to allow drivers the opportunity to use an alternate exit while construction is in progress. Wilderness Park parking lot Work continued on the Wilderness Park parking lot Monday, January 21. Irrigation work will be the main item under construction this week. The city managers weekly report is available at www.ci.claremont.ca.us.

Come one, come all to the CHERP citywide energy efficiency celebration
The Claremont Home Energy Retrofit Project (CHERP) has achieved its goal of retrofitting 130 homes in Claremont. Mayor Larry Schroeder, along with the rest of the city council and regional- and state-level energy officials, will gather for a citywide celebration on Thursday, January 24 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Taylor Hall, 1775 N. Indian Hill Blvd. The event is free and open to the public and will include awards, prizes and refreshments. In light of this first milestone, CHERP representatives now plan to raise the bar, according to city officials, and work to retrofit 1300 homes in Claremont, which is 10 percent of all of the approximately 11,000 households in the city. Rebates, grants and financing are still available to those interested in retrofitting their home. CHERPs network of experts and volunteers are available to assist residents in making their homes more energy efficient and less expensive to operate. For more information, visit the CHERP website at www.claremontenergy.org or contact Chris Veirs, senior planner/sustainability coordinator, at 399-5486 or by email at cveirs@ci.claremont. ca.us.

olice are searching for 2 men suspected of attempted car theft in the 400 block of Charleston Drive on Friday morning.
Police reported to Charleston Drive around 3:45 a.m. after a resident reported seeing 3 suspicious men believed to be breaking into vehicles. Officers found one of the men sitting in a stolen van parked along the street. The man was arrested for the stolen van and for stolen property located within. Upon questioning, the man admitted that he and 2 others had entered numerous unlocked vehicles and taken property, according to the police report. He described the 2 accomplices as Hispanic males, one 21 years old and the other 35, wearing dark clothing. Investigation continues. Officers also remind residents to lock their vehicles and remove all valuables from sight.

Amberson pleads innocent on all counts of lewd conduct
laremont psychologist Thomas Gary Amberson, PsyD, pled not guilty last week to recent accusations of child molestation. Mr. Amberson plead his innocence after the District Attorneys Office charged him with 4 counts of lewd conduct on a child and one count of possession of child pornography last December. The arraignment, originally scheduled for late December, was pushed back as Mr. Ambersons attorneys desired more time to look over their clients case before entering a plea, according to police.
Troubles began for the 56-year-old resident of Upland with a psychological practice in Claremont after a 9-yearold male alleged that Mr. Amberson had made inappropriate contact with him during a counseling session. It was the second time such an allegation has been made about the psychologist, who was accused of inappropriate contact with a 13-year-old male in 2008. Though the District Attorney did not file in the 2008 case due to lack of evidence, the incident will be included as part of the latest criminal filing. Claremont police officers say they
conducted a search of Mr. Ambersons business on November 15 following the most recent allegation. During the search, detectives claim a work computer containing child pornography was found. Mr. Amberson was arrested and released later that day after posting $100,000 bail. Mr. Amberson has been a practicing psychologist for more than 20 years with experience counseling both children and adults. He specializes in children and teen issues such as Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and offers eval-
uations in learning problems, parenting, abuse, depression, stress, grief and anxiety/panic disorder. He received his Doctorate in Psychology from the Rosemead School of Psychology and became licensed in California in March 1987, according to the California Board of Psychology. He maintains a practice off Foothill Boulevard in Claremont. He will return to the Pomona Courthouse on March 6, at which time a date for a preliminary hearing will be set.

Local theater shows it belongs in the big time
he Candlelight Pavilion may be modest in size, but the beloved Claremont playhouse is proving its more than just a small-town dinner theater.
The local theater won 6 Broadway World Los Angeles Awards earlier this month including Best Musical (Local Production) for its recent production of Miss Saigon. Pantages, Candlelight on Top! headlined the awards announcement, recognizing the local theater, which swept categories alongside the renowned Hollywood theater. Though the Candlelight team insists they are not in it for the awards or the fanfare, the recent recognition is a welcome validation of years of hard work and passion. This is my heart, this is my life. The award is a bonus, said Mindy Teuber, the Candlelights assistant producer. Every show we do, I stand back and go, Wow, look at what we just did and look whos up there doing it for us. Its pretty amazing. Though the Candlelight is gaining widespread recognition, the theater has long been a gem to Claremont, exposing many locals to their first glimpse of musical theater, from singing along to Marias favorite things in The Sound of Music to tapping toes to the sound of Tevyas dreams of riches in Fiddler on the Roof. The Candlelight, now entering its 28th season, blossomed under the leadership of the Bollinger family. What southern California has come to know and love about the local theater began with the vision of Ben Bollingerformer music department chair at Citrus College and director of the noted Citrus Singers. Along with Sandy Sanford of the former Griswolds Smorgasbord, Mr. Bollinger set up stage in a banquet hall that was once the old Claremont High School gym, located within the Old School House complex on Foothill Boulevard. I wanted to be a family theater, Mr. Bollinger said of his desire to bring musical theater to life for young and old alike. The Sound of Music remains just as fresh to a child who is 8 years old as it is to that 70-year-old that saw it at 8. Today, while many playhouses and show halls have suffered with the recent economic downturn, the 300-seat theater remains filled under the management of Mr. Bollingers son Mick Bollinger and daughter Mindy Teuber, who maintain their fathers focus on community. Part of that is making sure that customers, despite struggling times, are able to afford the theatergoing experience.

COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff Candlelight Pavilion founder Ben Bollinger has been working for years to bring quality theater to Claremont and the Inland Valley. The recent awards, and the fact that his theater was mentioned in the same headline as the Pantages Theatre, have become a symbol of the companys success.
Neil Dale won a Broadway World Los Angeles Best Director award for his work on the Candlelight Pavilions production of Miss Saigon. Behind Mr. Dale is Nicole Santiago-Barredo, who played the lead female role in the play.
Our prices havent changed and thats because we want the community to be able to come and enjoy, Ms. Teuber said. We can charge $75, what we probably should be, but we would scare people away that are enjoying theater 5 times a year. While much about the Candlelight remains unchanged, which continues to present musical theater classics like The Sound of Music and Cats, Mick and Mindy have introduced a variety of new, slightly edgier productions to their stage in recent years in hopes of continuing to draw in the crowds. Ms. Teuber is pleased to see the risks are paying off. To be listed next to a theater that everyone holds in high regard means that someone finally nodded their head and said, You did it right, Ms.
Teuber said. Its a pretty great feeling after 28 years in business. Taking risks As many successful business-folk can attest, great rewards come of great risks, and the Candlelight took a gamble in producing Miss Saigon, which ran last August through September. It was one of several more controversial pieces that have graced the Candlelight stage in recent years as Mick and Mindy look to diversify their theater selections. They received some backlash for producing Miss Saigon, just as they had for shows like The Full Monty and even Dreamgirls. We had several letters saying, How could you do this? Ms. Teuber admitted. To one of them I re-
sponded, Look, this is the story and we would be taking away from everything we believe in by changing that story. Miss Saigon follows the life of a young Vietnamese orphan and prostitute named Kim who falls in love with a GI named Chris during the Vietnam War. Before leaving Vietnam, he promises Kim that he will return for her. The play follows Kims heartbreaking journey to be reunited with her love and the unexpected twists and turns she encounters along the way. Though Miss Saigon isnt a typical, rosy musical production, the true story tugs at the heartstrings. There are some things in life you just have to be honest about, even if they arent pretty, said Neil Dale, honored as Best Director for Miss Saigon, though he has directed numerous shows on the Candlelights stage. The Candlelight was provided with a rare opportunity in bringing Mr. Dale, known for his work with Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schnberg, the original writers of Miss Saigon, to direct the show. Mr. Dale was asked to help revamp the show in 2004, and spent numerous hours on the details in order to make the production as real as possible, while not overshadowing the most important part of the play: the love story. We were very honest without ramming it down peoples throat, Mr. Dale said. In many places where this show is staged, they focus more on the girls than the story. But I think most people that came to our producCLAREMONT MOM &POP continues on the next page
EDUCATION
Schools provide report cards, district deals with CDE
onnie Bell, assistant superintendent of business services, asked the school board last meeting to approve and release the districts School Accountability Report Cards (SARC).
Since 1998, every California school that receives public funding has been required to SCHOOL prepare a SARC, detailing its status BOARD in crucial areas like student demographics, academic achievement and the condition of facilities. As noted in the most recent batch of SARCs, virtually every school in the district has made steady progress in academic achievement as measured by students results in STAR standardized tests. An exception is Danbury School, whose students face a range of disabilities and whose test scores dipped last year. At an earlier meeting, Principal Steve Hamilton explained the lower scores are due to the fact that 2 disabled students who were unprepared to take the STAR with no adaptations did so, scoring poorly. Given that the school has only 46 students, 2 poor test performances is enough to make a significant difference in the schools achievement statistics. Board members have praised Danbury, however, for its performance towards its stated goals of providing a warm, stimulating environment where students are actively involved in learning academics as well as positive values. The districts SARC responses are heartening, ac-
cording to the board. Im very proud of our district, board member Jeff Stark said. I would be thrilled to have my children attend any of our schools. To view the School Accountability Report Card for any Claremont public school, visit the CUSD website (www.cusd.claremont.edu) and select Meeting Agendas. The SARC for each Claremont school is available in the agenda for the Thursday, January 17 meeting of the school board. CDE says district responded to CHS leaks, mold The last meeting of the Claremont Unified School District Board of Education, held Thursday, December 17, included a report on the status of Williams Report complaints within the district. A Williams Report is a state-mandated process where complaints can be made regarding insufficient instruction materials, unsafe or unhealthy facility conditions, and vacancies or inappropriate assignments among teachers. In February 2012, a Claremont High School instructor filed a Williams Report citing concerns that ongoing water damage was posing a health threat, including the potential growth of mold, in classrooms in the 700 block of the high school as well as some adjacent campus buildings. In response, the district hired an independent inspector, who determined there was an ongoing leak from a pipe in a 700-block classroom, a patch of mold in the same classroom and mold on a wooden overhang outside of the classroom. On July 2012, the
board reviewed the complaint and determined that, as the areas had been cleaned and repairs had been made, the matter was closed. The complainant appealed the boards decision to the California Department of Education, stating that the district had not inspected all of the areas cited in his Williams Report. Furthermore, he contended that repairs, such as the replacement of ceiling tiles, had been largely cosmetic. The problem of ongoing water damage, the complaint emphasized, had not been addressed. In December 2012, representatives from the California Department of Education came to CHS, a visit that occurred shortly after a rainstorm, according to a CDE report. After their inspection, they concluded that CUSD had investigated the underlying cause of the water intrusion and has taken appropriate steps to repair these underlying causes. Damp or moldy material was removed as well. The district finished with its abatement measures 41 days after the Williams Complaint was filed, well within the mandated 61 days. Because CHS has flat roofs, a design that has been found to be apt to leaks, the CDE noted in its Williams Facilities Appeal findings that water intrusion and resulting damage is likely to pose an ongoing challenge for the district. They recommend that the district continue addressing the immediate underlying cause of any leaks, and to remove any damp or moldy material that becomes apparent, reported Kevin Ward, vice principal of human services.

tion forgot that the girls were in bikinis and that they were supposedly in a bar full of prostitutes and just fell in love with the story of Kim and Chris. Mr. Dale credits the magic behind the production to the cast and crew, equally invested in the unconventional love story. Auditioners showed up in droves for the chance to take part in the production, some, like Nicole Santiago-Barredo, caravanning with a group of others from Van Nuys. [Playing Kim] has always been a dream role of mine. I grew up singing the songs, Ms. Santiago-Barredo said. But the Candlelights success cannot be attributed to just one person. It was a collective effort of what cast and crew refer to as the Candlelight and Saigon family. It comes down to trust, said Orlando Montes, Candlelight production manager and Miss Saigon cast member. You are portraying people and telling a true story and you have to make that believable, and the only way to do that where there is war and devastation and heartbreak is to be honest. It takes a lot out of you, but we had 17 people on that stage trusting each other. The dedication paid off. To get a director and a choreographer and an ensemble that trusts in each other is imperative and, in essence, that is how this show jumped off the page at the Candlelight, Mr. Bollinger said. People really believed in what they saw. The Bollingers will continue to de-

vote themselves to great storytelling, occasionally taking on the controversial storylines. This season touts a wide variety of musical theater among its lineup, from righteous to racy, including The Sound of Music, Sweet Charity and The Full Monty, which returns for another run this spring. The spicy playbill continues with the bloody musical thriller Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet
Street, due on the Candlelight stage for the first time this September. Though jumping into uncharted territory in Candlelight history, its a risk they look forward to taking. We can make some people angry or we can make a whole lot of people happy. We are making choices that we believe in and that we know are good, sound, musical theater pieces, Ms. Teuber said. We all want to put musi-
cal theater in a box....and I dispute that. There are beautiful stories being told. If you can just sit back and buy into it, its a pretty amazing adventure. The Candlelight Pavilion is located at 455 W. Foothill Blvd. Find out more about the 2013 season at www.candlelightpavilion.com.

Seeing the people who make Claremont

by John Pixley
You know the Byrds? The what? The Byrds. B-Y-R-D-S. The Byrds?...The band? Yes.
Yes, my friend had heard of the Byrds. He is almost half my age and probably wasnt even born when the band was playing, but I figured he had probably heard Turn, Turn, Turn or Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man on the radio, maybe in a diner or a thrift store or an auto repair shop. Not only that, my friend knew that the Byrds had been an important band, well-known for its jangly, folky, sunny guitar sound. He was in town for the weekend, and we had just seen that John York was playing in the area. He was in the Byrds, I told my friend. That guy was in the Byrds? And he lives in Claremont. Really? Mmm! my friend said, no doubt making a mental note to Google or YouTube John York later on his phone. Or maybe he was doing it right then. Really? Who knew? I hate to say this, but I have to admit that this is what I thought when I read the obituary for Ray Collins in these pages a few weeks ago. I had seen that there was an obituary for Ray Collins a few days earlier in the Los Angeles Times (although I didnt read it). And I had seen the man around in the Village for years, but I hadnt put the 2 together. I didnt know that the guy with the headlining obituary in the Los Angeles Times was the guy in
observer
the Village. I didnt know that he had been in the Mothers of Invention, another influential 1960s rock band. I didnt know there was this quiet treasure trove of rock history and colorful stories, complete with partnering with and then not speaking to and sometimes speaking ill of Frank Zappa, in our midst. And now he is gone, no longer in our midst. Ray Collins is no longer here, where he chose to live out the end of his rich, creative life, making Claremont all the more rich and creative. I wish I knew this before now. I wish I knew about Ray Collins like I know about John York. Like my friend now knows about John York. And about how he, along with many others, is what makes Claremont such a rich, creative community. Im certainly gladall the more nowthat I knew Mary Ellen Kilsby, who died a few weeks ago. As I write this, I think about going to a memorial service for her on Sunday. I also think about how last year, when I saw her for one of the last times at Pilgrim Place where she then lived, she hugged me so hard that it hurt. It occurs to me that she hugged Claremont in the same way.
For years, when I was growing up and before she and her husband Bud moved to Long Beach, Mary Ellen Kilsby embraced Claremont, giving this community much of her remarkable energy. Among other things, she served on the Claremont school board and was its president, all while I understood she was a pastor at the Claremont United Church of Christ, Congregational. It was actually not until later in my life, when I became friends with her daughter, Kathy, and after she moved to Long Beach to serve as the head pastor of the big congregational church downtown, that I met Mary Ellen. But I had always heard and read about her and what she was doing in Claremont. While here in Claremont, she was always one of those people making this town a better, more caring community. She still cared about Claremont after she left. I would occasionally see her, and be subject to her enthusiastic hugging and kissing, at events at Pomona College, where she was activeonce again, activein the alumni organization. One year, she gave the address at the Colleges baccalaureate service. And it felt right, like a circle closing, when a year or 2 agoafter her retirement and the death of her husbandI saw that she was living at Pilgrim Place. The circle is always closing, just as the years keep going and coming. And people like Mary Ellen Kilsby and Ray Collins, with their wild stories and boundless enthusiasm, come and then go, enriching our lives and our community. Do we know them and the many others who make Claremont before they are no longer here, before the circle closes again?
Your newspaper tastes better because of the paper and the ink they use. My paper is almost tasteless, except for its politically liberal voice and outlook.
An open letter to Claremont gun owners

Dear Editor: Let me agree at the start that there is a constitutional right for individuals to own and possess guns. However, having a right does not give one carte blanche freedom to exercise that right. If a male is hired to do janitorial work at the high school and thus has as part of his job the right to enter the girls locker room to clean it, that does not give him the freedom to enter the locker room whenever he pleases. We have the right to drive down Indian Hill, but that does not enable us to exercise that right during the Fourth of July parade. A full-fledged right to gun ownership is perfectly compatible with all kinds of regulations designed to provide for public safety. Gun owners also need to be aware that there is no significant organization or individual holding that guns ought (in NRA language) to be confiscated. It is a
READERS COMMENTS
fantasy of the NRA that those who advocate gun regulation have a program of forcible elimination of guns in this country. The NRA (and others) promulgate that claim in order to create fear among gun owners that any regulations are a step down the slippery slope. The only issue of interest is whether we, the people, have the right to regulate gun ownership in the interest of the general welfare and public safety. There is no constitutional provision that precludes such regulation. It is true that many of those arguing for regulation of guns are not part of gun culture. But, equally, many of those arguing for regulations on tobacco use are not part of smoking culture. It was not that they argue that tobacco ought to be bannedrather, the argument is that, as a matter of the general welfare, we the people have a right to regulate the exermembers. For details, contact the Claremont Chamber at 624-1681 or visit www.claremontchamber.org.
common sense, the NRA has also become a chief supporter, not of the individuals who own guns to hunt, for self-protection in ones own home, for cise of smoking and to try to convince fondling or for sport, but of those groups smokers that they ought not to be in- who amass weapons to be used against dulging. So, too, with guns: It is open to their own government (and imaginary individuals and to the government to try foreigner enemies). to convince those in the gun culture that If you wish to be aligned with such they ought to give up the dangerous disreputable groups, the Timothy habit.

Southern California Edison warns customers of scam

Southern California Edison (SCE) is advising customers to be aware of a new telephone scam that is demanding immediate payment for allegedly past due electricity bills. Imposters have been calling SCE customers, telling them they must make immediate payment on past due bills or have their electric service disconnected. The callers are also demanding that payment be made through a prepaid cash card, such as a PayPal or a Green Dot card. We ask our customers to be alert to these calls that demand immediate payment and threaten service disconnection, said Henry Martinez, SCE vice president of safety, security & compliance. Customers suspecting a fraudulent call should ask for the callers name, department and business phone number. If the caller refuses to provide this information, customers should end the call and report the incident to local police or SCE at (800) 655-4555, Mr. Martinez explained. SCE reminds customers to ask for identification when a stranger comes to the door or calls claiming
OUR TOWN
to be a utility worker. SCE utility workers will provide verification, including their department and phone number, when asked. In most cases, home visits by SCE are scheduled by the customer and SCE will confirm the appointment in writing. If there are any concerns, SCE and law enforcement officials suggest having the utility worker wait outside until their identity can be verified. SCE customers should also note that SCE employees will never ask for money in person, so customers should never reveal credit card, ATM or calling card numbers (or PIN numbers) to anyone. If someone calls and requests a customer leave their residence at a specific time for a utility-related cause, customers should call the police, as this could be a burglary set-up by the caller. SCE also warns to be suspicious of anyone who arrives at your home without an appointment asking to check an appliance, wiring or suggesting that there may be some other electrical problem inside your residence.
For more ways customers can stay safe, please visit www.sce.com/safety and read the safety tips section.

Wrestling in the 152-pound class, Claremonts Gabe Vigil, left, squares off with Chino Hills Craig Worthley on Thursday at Claremont High School. Though Vigil won his match, the Wolfpack lost 46-30. COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff
CHS starts strong, but loses after upper-weight matches
olfpack wrestling put in a dogged effort against the Chino Hills Huskies last Thursday night, winning 2 individual matches by technical decision and one by a pin. However, the Huskies upper weights took the final 5 matches of the night. Chino Hills won the overall meet by the score of 46-30. Claremonts first 3 wrestlers received scratch victories, so the first bout of the night involved 126-pound wrestler TJ Hinkson. He was pinned by Gabriel DeLeon after 2 rounds. Next up was Pedro Cordero in the 132 pound class. After 3 tough rounds, Corderos opponent Eugene Laksana won by technical decision. Malik Webster took home Claremonts first individual win of the evening. He wrestled Meldrick Hogg at 138 pounds, and worked his way to a 3-point technical win over 3 rounds. Matt Hagen followed with another match that went the distance at 145 pounds, but opponent Justin Metzger took the decision. Gabe Vigil brought the momentum back to Clare-
monts side in the 152 pound class. He scored points with a headlock takedown and a near fall. Vigil beat his opponent, Craig Worthley, by decision after 3 rounds. Following Vigil was Alex Merritt at 160 pounds against the Huskies Kevin Perez. Merritt scored a solid takedown and pinned Perez in only 56 seconds. At this point, Claremont led Chino Hills 30-17 in overall points. Unfortunately, this is where the Wolfpack peaked as a team. The next 5 bouts of the match were all Chino Hills victories. Huskies upper-weight wrestlers won 4 victories by pin and one by decision, and Claremont was unable to come up with an answer. Coaches Escalante and McGill praised the team, but had suggestions for improvement. We had so many close matches today and were just unable to finish them off. Our wrestlers got in good positions but could not take full advantage, Escalante said. I was pleased with our hand-fighting technique. We
have a lot of young wrestlers so it is encouraging to see them developing the fundamentals, but we need it all to come together, McGill added. The Wolfpack will take to the mats again when they travel to Charter Oak this Thursday, January 24 at 5 p.m. Chris Oakley

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE TS No. 11-0124166 Doc ID #0001051406562005N Title Order No. 110104260 Investor/Insurer No. 105140656 APN No. 8718-032-003 YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST, DATED 09/09/2005. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. Notice is hereby given that RECONTRUST COMPANY, N.A., as duly appointed trustee pursuant to the Deed of Trust executed by RENEE B. MARTINEZ AND SONJA B. MARTINEZ, HUSBAND AND WIFE, AS JOINT TENANTS, dated 09/09/2005 and recorded 9/20/2005, as Instrument No. 05 2260716, in Book , Page , of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of Los Angeles County, State of California, will sell on 02/11/2013 at 9:00AM, Doubletree Hotel Los Angeles-Norwalk, 13111 Sycamore Drive, Norwalk, CA 90650, Vineyard Ballroom at public auction, to the highest bidder for cash or check as described below, payable in full at time of sale, all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust, in the property situated in said County and State and as more fully described in the above referenced Deed of Trust. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 273 SOUTH ROCK RIVER ROAD, DIAMOND BAR, CA, 91765. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. The total amount of the unpaid balance with interest thereon of the obligation secured by the property to be sold plus reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $338,904.63. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept cashier's checks drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state. Said sale will
legalads@claremont-courier.com 909.621.4761
be made, in an ''AS IS'' condition, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust, advances thereunder, with interest as provided, and the unpaid principal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as provided in said Note, plus fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. If required by the provisions of section 2923.5 of the California Civil Code, the declaration from the mortgagee, beneficiary or authorized agent is attached to the Notice of Trustee's Sale duly recorded with the appropriate County Recorder's Office. 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 a 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 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 1-800-281-8219 or visit this Internet Web site www.recontrustco.com, using the file number assigned to this case TS No. 110124166. 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.
