Water Decision Day

Dear Editor:
On August 9 and 10, after a long trial,
the city of Claremont and Golden State
Water Company (GSW) made closing arguments before the judge who will decide
if Claremont has the right to take over its
local water system. The judge then had 90
days to rule on the case. That 90 days will
be up on November 8.
Last year, 72 percent of Claremont voters chose to have the city try to purchase
the local water system from GSW, an unwilling seller, using eminent domain.
The community was supportive in part
because GSW raised rates sharply and the
cost of water made Claremont a less desirable place to live. GSW was also allowed
to set water rates on a regional basis, so
Claremonts local needs became less relevant while drought made local control of
water especially important. No city can
survive without water, and water should
not be under the control of an outside forprofit monopoly.
In closing arguments GSW claimed that
the costs would be so high that rates would
have to go up, that Claremont had used
pretty words about local control but had
not offered specific projects to be implemented if it had local control, and that
water quality would be better under GSW.
Management of the water system under
Claremont ownership would be contracted
out to the city of La Verne, so GSW cited
problems with lead in La Vernes water.
In rebuttal Claremonts attorneys argued
that GSWs cost estimates were exaggerated, and cited as an example GSW using
depreciation of the system as an expense
rather than as a financial benefit to stockholders.
The lead contamination in La Verne
water was a one-time incident in a small

area and was quickly corrected. La Vernes
water quality is as highly rated as Claremonts.
So how will the judge decide? Does it
make legal sense to rule that Claremont
does not have the right to take over the system because it did not include enough detail on specific projects to be implemented
under local control?
This will be a precedent-setting decision. If Claremont prevails the next step
will be a trial to set the price to be paid, but
GSW is likely to use every legal challenge
possible.
November 8 will be a day of decision
for the whole nation, and more so for
Claremont.

Dear Editor:
November 8 is an election with huge opportunities or consequences. A yes vote
on Measure G and Proposition 51 are vital
to the public education facilities in both
Claremont and the state of California. The
most important resource we have is our
youth and it is vitally important that we provide them with a 21st century education in
order to compete in our global economy.
I also firmly believe that it is time to
drain the swamp in Washington, DC and
put new private sector leadership in the
Oval Office. Donald Trump certainly has
his shortcomings, but he is a proven leader
with many innovative solutions to the
many problems facing this country.
Im willing to give the self-made bluecollar billionaire a chance. I believe Mr.

Residents question council vote against Prop 57
he Claremont City
Councils decision to
formally oppose Proposition 57 has not been without
its share of criticism.
An online petition has been circulated

in the past week admonishing the council for taking a negative stance against the
proposition, which would allow early release of low-tier offenders, give judges
the final say over whether a juvenile is
tried as an adult and expands good behavior and parole opportunities. The
proposition was put on the ballot by Governor Jerry Brown to chip away at prison
overcrowding in the state.
In the unanimous decision on October
25, the council determined that it would
be too risky to let offenders out after the
end of their primary sentence. The council mentioned the perceived after-effects
of Proposition 47, a previous ballot measure aimed at reducing prison overcrowding that has been pinpointed by Claremont police as a reason for the uptick in
property crimes in the city.
Nancy Neiman Auerbach, professor
of international political economy at
Scripps College, called the councils decision to take a stance on the proposition
kind of unprecedented.
Nobodys asking them to vote on this.
Theyre actually taking a policy position
and I think it does very little good for
city, she said. It doesnt make me proud
to be a Claremonter.
Mayor Sam Pedroza disagreed with
the assertion it was unprecedented, saying that the council has passed resolutions for or against statewide ballot measures in the past.
According to city spokesperson Bevin

Handel, the council has passed resolutions for or against state propositions six
times in the past decade.
The language under Prop 57 states that
non-violent felons would be given the
option for parole at the end of their primary sentence, a move that Claremont
police and council have deemed a threat
for local communities.
Felons who have committed multiple
crimes against multiple victims will be
eligible for release at the same time as inmates who committed one crime against
one victim, Claremont Police Chief Paul
Cooper told the council during the October 25 meeting.
Mr. Pedroza noted that the council is
free to take a position on ballot measures
that could directly impact the community. That stipulation, he said, is part of the
council norms reviewed by the city at
the beginning of every year.
In this case, the council believes Prop
57 could have a significant effect on the
city, which has suffered through an increase of home and car break-ins in the
past year. Mr. Pedroza noted the council
had been receiving regular input from
the police about crime in the city.
I think the reason why [the vote] was
unanimous was because the council does
receive the regular notices from the police department on whats happening
with our nonviolent crimes increase,
Mr. Pedroza said.
Despite law enforcements stance on
Prop 47, Ms. Auerbach noted there was
no direct link between the uptick in crime
and the propositions passage. There have
been a number of studies that have determined no causal effect between passing Prop 47 and a higher crime rate, she
said, and the councils decision to take a

stance against Prop 57 is based on a
very narrow understanding of the
prison system.
They basically presented it as an
open-and-shut case, that if you let people
out of prison theyre going to have a
higher crime rate, Ms. Auerbach said.
A study conducted in March by Mike
Males of the Center on Juvenile and
Criminal Justice concluded that it was too
early to tell if Prop 47 was directly to
blame for a rise in crime rates in California.
There are no obvious effects associated with Prop 47 that would be expected if the reform measure had produced a
consistent impact on crime, and it is too
early to conclusively measure the effects
of Proposition 47 on crime rates just one
year after the law took effect, Mr. Males
wrote in the report.
But Mr. Pedrozawho initially supported Prop 47 in 2014said the crime
hike in the wake of the proposition was
too acute to ignore.
It seems too coincidental, he said.
He issued a challenge to those backing
the proposition. Show me some evidence, show me information that some of
those reforms that were supposed to happen under 47 are, first of all, occurring and
second, having positive effects, he said.
The councils decision has struck a
chord within the community, with petitions, phone calls and emails being circulated lambasting the decision to oppose the proposition.
One petition has more than 200 signatures as of Thursday morning. Local
groups such as the Democratic Club of
Claremont and the League of Women
Voters are listed in the petition. In addi-
tion, the California State Lawmakers Association and the Chief Probation Officers of California support the proposition.
The language in the petition is clear
the Claremont City Council should rescind its resolution opposing the measure.
Given the lack of representation of
community members in favor of Proposition 57, to suggest that Prop 57 would
compromise the safety of Claremont residents is undemocratic, the petition read.
Mr. Pedroza stated that the council
would have appreciated input from the
community before they made their decision, as opposed to afterward.
The agenda was properly noted, he
said. How much can the city do to let
people know that were going to discuss
this? I wouldnt agree that it wasnt properly noted.
Ellen Taylor, speaking on behalf of
the Claremont chapter of the League of
Women Voters, said she disagreed with
the councils decision, but understood
why they would do it.
Their feeling is that we have had a lot
of minor crimes in Claremontmaybe
its these people who are committing
these minor crimes, we dont know, she
said. But I understand why they came to
that conclusion.
Ms. Auerbach said halfway houses in
the city such a Crossroadswhich helps
formerly incarcerated women to reintegrate into societyare proof that the solution is treatment rather than incarceration.
This kind of symbolic statement from
those who represent us, its upsetting,
she said.

Metrolink takes noisy BNSF locomotives off-track
f the horns from trains passing

through Claremont seem a tad quieter
than usual, its due to a main culprit
being taken off the tracks.
Locomotives from the Burlington Northern and
Santa Fe (BNSF) railroadthe big, orange engines
that have been a fixture in front of Metrolink trains
for the better part of the yearhave officially been
taken off the line, the city announced last week.
The locomotives have been taken off the tracks as
of November 1, Metrolink spokesperson Gina Mack
confirmed.
While this can be seen as a positive development in
Claremonts quest for a quiet zone, the reactions from
those living near the tracks have been mixed, according to Traffic and Transportation Commissioner
Zachary Courser.
There may be a subjective notion that the train
noise is slightly less, he said. I still think its a nuisance, and I think the community still feels that way.
The engines were attached to the commuter trains
as a safety precaution following a fatal 2015 accident
in Oxnard, according to Metrolink. But an unintended
consequence occurredthe engines had a louder train
horn fixed higher on the engine for maximum distance, which caused a loud and irritating noise problem for Claremonters living near the tracks.

As of November 1, Metrolink has pulled the noisy BNSF locomotives off track. Despite this development,
some residents say that train noise will continue to be a nuisance.

Claremont Police Explorers take home several

awards in annual competition
Claremont Police Department Explorer Post 411
participated in an annual Explorer competition recently and took home several awards.
The two-day competition was hosted by the Riverside Police Department and consists of various law
enforcement practical scenarios, an airsoft shooting
event, a police report writing event, team and individual obstacle courses and a tug-of-war competition.
There were 18 Explorer posts competing, representing different agencies from throughout California.
Although the competition was challenging, CPD Explorer Post 411 took first place in the tug-of-war, first
place in the female advisor obstacle course, second
place in the male obstacle course, third place in crime
scene investigation and third place overall out of all
18 competing agencies.
The Claremont Police Explorer Post demonstrated
tremendous dedication and trained almost daily prior
to the competition.
Explorer Post 411 is a volunteer organization

sponsored by Learning for Life and the Boy Scouts
of America. It is open to young men and women between the ages of 14-and-a-half and 21.
Exploring enables participants to examine the law
enforcement field by participating in training techniques and procedures through community service
and ride-alongs with local police officers.
The program is intended to encourage interest in a
law enforcement career while helping to build character and to foster self-confidence, self-discipline and
goal-setting. The program is staffed by police officers, and meetings are held bi-weekly at the police
department.
Additional training is provided through a yearly
summer academy, held for one week. Membership
in the post is contingent upon successful completion
of the academy within one year of acceptance into
the program.

The problem became so bad that an ad hoc committeeof which Mr. Courser is a memberwas
established to look into creating a quiet zone
through Claremont.
The situation has gone national as well. Mayor
Sam Pedroza and City Manager Tony Ramos met
with officials from the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) in September to look into a possible revision of the Federal Train Horn Rule.
The council entered into a contract with City of
Industry-based JMDiaz in September to look into
the feasibility of implementing a quiet zone in the
city. The study should take three months to complete.
I think the city of Claremont has had some
progress, not only here in the community, and I
think they are beginning to reach out to other cities
through the [San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments] to share the concerns about quiet zones, Mr.
Courser said.
Ms. Mack said the new Tier 4 engines, which
are supposed to be safer and more energy efficient
than previous engines, would eventually replace the
locomotives. While the BNSF engines had a loud
five-chime horn placed higher on the engine for
maximum distance, the Tier 4 locomotives will have
a three-chime horn placed lower on the engine for
travelling through communities.
[The Tier 4 locomotives] are expected to operate
in late 2016, and some of them are going to arrive in
2017, Ms. Mack said.
But state-of-the-art locomotives or not, Claremont
is still continuing its journey to eliminate train noise
through town once and for all. It is a problem that
has existed long before the big, orange locomotives
were first placed on the tracks, Mr. Courser said.

EDUCATION
CUSD board wants to get even with election process

At the November 3 meeting of the
Claremont Unified School District Board
of Education, the school board voted on a
resolution to hold all future school board
elections in November of even years.
The resolution comes in response to Senate Bill 415, the California Voter Protection
Act, which became effective in January
2016. The bill aims to remedy two problems with off-cycle elections: low voter
turnout and higher costs.
The district cancelled the election set for
November 2015 due to lack of opposition.
The terms of Hilary LaConte and Sam
Mowbray expired, but no one filed to run
against them.
Mr. Mowbray opted not to run for office
again, so Beth Bingham was offered a return position on the board. Ms. LaConte,
who first joined the board in 2007, chose
to renew her position.
Nancy Treser Osgood and Dave Nemer

were first elected in 2013. The same year,
Steven Llanusa was re-elected for a third
term. The latter three candidates will be up
for re-election in 2017.
CUSDs resolution was crafted after a
workshop held on October 20, where
Tiffany Tran of Atkinson, Adelson, Loya,
Rudd and Roma provided legal counsel.
Meeting attendees learned that any political subdivisionincluding city, school
district or community college districtthat
has held an off-cycle election yielding a
measurably low voter turnout must comply with the law. Claremont falls into this
category.
The law spells out the threshold specifically. If the voter turnout for the last four
local elections has averaged 25 percent less
than the average voter turnout for the previous four statewide general elections,
the bill mandates you must adjust your election policy.

Voter turnout in Claremont for the last
four local elections has averaged 21 percent, fully 49 percent less than the average
70 percent turnout for the previous four California general elections.
The board agreed that they wanted to
make the adjustment quickly to be ahead
of the curve, even though it is unlikely the
law will be immediately enforced.
Also, Ms. Tran emphasized that a lack
of compliance could leave CUSD open to
a lawsuit pressed by an individual who contends that the districts off-cycle election has
wasted taxpayer money. Should a judge
agree, the district would have to pay attorney and litigation fees.
There was another decision before
them, though. Senate Bill 415 also stipulates that the district must make a decision:
hold elections in either November or June

of even-numbered years. They then proceeded to weigh the pros and cons of adopting either month as an election norm.
November elections tend to get higher
voter turnout, it was noted, but the ballots
are often busier. June elections typically
have smaller ballots, making it harder for
a school board race to get lost in the shuffle. Still, a couple of board members expressed concern that families, caught up
with end-of-year concerns like graduations
and impending vacations, might be too busy
to engage in a CUSD contest.
By the end of the deliberation, the
board was leaning toward November elections. The results of the boards final decision will be included in a future edition

The state of
the schools
With local, state and national elections all
happening on Tuesday, November 8, Claremonters will also vote on Measure G to earmark
$58 million focused on the infrastructure of
every public school in the city. The COURIER
recommended voting yes on this bond in an
editorial last week.
Given the bonds focus on school facilities,
we took to the air to help illustrate some of the
districts needs. One key aspect of the bond is to
replace portable classrooms, some of which are
more than 40 years old, with more permanent
construction.
Other uses for Measure G money includes addressing leaky roofs throughout the district. The
pool at El Roble has also fallen into disrepair
mostly because of more than 50 years of use, becoming an eyesore on the campus.
Although much of the construction needs are
not obvious to the naked eye, the school district
has shown a clear need through the dozens of
meetings with the Claremont community.
CUSD is clearly dealing with numerous aging
buildings. These photos are an example of what
people are talking about.

The pool at El Roble, built nearly 50 years ago, has been shut down a few years. Not only is the pool used for El
Roble physical education classes but it is also a community resource and is utilized by local swim and water
polo clubs, like Mt. Baldy Aquatics.

Getting a whiff of caution in Claremont

by John Pixley
arlier this spring, I had a couple of

piercing rings removed. I might
have had it done at the Claremont
Tattoo Parlor but, according to the establishments website, the Claremont Tattoo
Parlor only does tattoosno piercings.
So I ended up going someplace in Upland, on Mountain or Central Avenue, that does piercings as well as tattoos. Besides, it was closer than the Claremont Tattoo
Parlor.
Thats righta place in Upland that does tattooing
and piercings is closer than the Claremont Tattoo Parlor.
How can this be? How can an establishment in Upland
be closer to Claremont than a Claremont business?
No, it isnt because the Claremont business is across
town while the Upland business is just across the border.
Its because the Claremont Tattoo Parlor isnt a Claremont business. The Claremont Tattoo Parlor is actually
in Rancho Cucamonga.
The Claremont Tattoo Parlor is a Rancho Cucamonga
business because Claremont didnt want to have any
business with it when it tried to get a space in the Village
some 20 years ago. The city decided to not have any
business with tattoo parlors and banned them. Well, they
eventually decided to allow such establishments in
Claremont a few years ago but only in industrial parks
or other such in-the-dark, out-of-sight-out-of-mind
places. I dont even know if there is a tattoo parlor in
Claremont at this point, which is probably the point.
At the time, the debate over whether to let the tattoo
parlor locate in the arcade off Yale Avenue in the Village went on for some weekswell over a month, actuallytaking up time at two or three city council
meetings. City officials said the concern was over health
and safety issues. However, there was plenty of talk and
letters written about not wanting that kind of business,
not wanting the kind of people that kind of business attracts, in Claremont, much less in our Village.
Never mind that, even at that time, it was plainly evident many people who visited the Village and patronized its businesses indulged in the services offered at a
tattoo parlor. Never mind that there were guys working
at Some Crust Bakery in the Villagejust a block from
the proposed siteserving up its renowned, beloved
treats, whose arms and legs were covered with tattoos.
Never mind that, not many years later, I felt comfort-
observer
able getting my piercings and having them seen in public in Claremont and even in the Village. (I had them removed primarily because of the pain they were causing.)
It is all too easy to see that this kind of thinking is behind the city councils recent unanimous decision to ban
pot dispensaries in Claremont. The council took this step
before Tuesdays election, in which Proposition 64 to
legalize the recreational use of marijuana as well as dispensaries and various regulations and taxes in California
is likely to be approved. The measure permits local governments to make such moves, banning marijuana businesses, regulating cultivation and banning outdoor
plants.
In going ahead and taking this step to ban dispensaries, but not personal use and cultivation of marijuana
in Claremont, the city council mainly cite legal and technical concerns. The worry is that while legislation will
occur immediately after Proposition 64 passes, businesses wont be able to apply for licenses until January
2018.
In order to keep illegal commercial dispensaries from
opening here, possibly resulting in legal costs, and to
observe how the proposition will work in other cities,
the council concluded that a ban is best. As City Manager Tony Ramos said, this put[s] in safeguards to protect this community and then allow this community, if
[Prop 64] passes, to have the appropriate dialogue about
what they would like to do with recreational marijuana.
It is all well and good to take time out and have a ban
or moratorium while an appropriate dialogue takes
place. But is this what the ban is about? If it is, why is it
taking place now, just before recreational pot may be
legal, and when it has been a hot topic for several years
(at least)?
After all, medicinal marijuana has been around for
decades, but there are still no medicinal marijuana dispensaries in Claremont. Maybe we shouldnt be surprised when there are also no recreational marijuana
dispensaries in Claremont and, perhaps, a Claremont Pot
Shop opens up in San Dimas in a handful of years.
This would be too bad. If we stepped up as a com-
munity, a truly appropriate dialogue could lead to a

creative, innovative, responsible way to deal with what
to do with recreational marijuana. Dealing with recreational marijuana use like this, rather than banning dispensaries or putting them in the shadows, when drinking
alcohol can cause at least and probably more damage,
would reflect Claremonts caring, outgoing spirit.
Claremont can do better than to be so overly cautious
and ban the dispensaries that are coming probably
sooner than later, not to mention the ones already here.
This community can do better than the man who said he
feared for his daughters safety when there were people
camped out in front of city hall during the Occupy
movement.
Pitzer College, of all places, can also do better. The
student senate at the college, known for its progressive
outlook and activism, decided to withhold funding from,
and thus cancel, the student-run Reggae Fest, which was
slated for this month and has been going on annually for
14 years. The decision was based on concerns expressed
by some students and faculty that the festival, at which
a number of bands play and vendors offer goods and
food, is cultural appropriation.
The fear here is that, frankly, a bunch of white students are taking on and exploiting the creative expression of black artists. There is also concern that the
festival, which usually kicks off at 4:20, glorifies pot use
and, as one international student from Jamaica said,
perpetuates the idea that Jamaicans (and Caribbean
people in general) just sit around and smoke weed all
day.
The Pitzer Student Senate also decided to increase its
funding for the schools Rockabilly Festival. Doesnt
this exploit Latino artists and appropriate Chicano culture?
As a disabled, gay man, Im all for people being sensitive. I want people to take care and be gentle with each
other, including me. I understand the desire to be heard
and to protect.
But again, as with the tattoo parlors and pot shops, we
can be too careful and end up hidden from and scared of
each other. What good will ignoring reggae music do?
Will trigger warnings and having only black roommates in collegean issue that arose recently at, yes,
Pitzer Collegehelp in getting along in the world?
A wall keeping us in is almost as bad as a wall keeping others out.
Vote no on everything
Dear Editor:
Ive read every page of the 230-page
state voter pamphlet and the 80-page
county voter booklet. It was daunting but
I did it so you wouldnt have to.
I recommend voting no on every state
proposition and county and school measure. Its easy to remember and you'll be 85
to 90 percent right, a pretty good batting
average.
Ludd A. Trozpek
Claremont
City council erred on Prop 57

Dear Editor:
Im voting yes on Proposition 57the
Public Safety and Rehabilitation Act of
2016. Though I am now a private citizen,
my decision is based on years of service as
a public school teacher in a family of public school teachers, in a town that values
education.
Many students I have taught have been
involved, either personally or through
family and friends, with the criminal justice system. Through them, I have learned
how important it is that we push for reforms. This is why I was surprised when
I picked up last Fridays COURIER and
saw that our city council voted to officially oppose the proposition.
Our police chiefwho lobbied for endorsement against itis certainly a very
important voice in the conversation, but
there are many other important voices to
consider.
In this instance, the council has taken a
position in opposition to various local
groups including the League of Women
Voters (both local and state chapters), the
Democratic Club of Claremont (as well as
the California Democratic Party), Inland
Congregations United for Change and various Pitzer College action groups.
Statewide support for Prop 57 includes
the ACLU, the Los Angeles Times editorial board, Chief Probation Officers of
California, California State Law Enforcement Association and the California Federation of Teachers, among many others.
READERS COMMENTS
Proposition 57 is written in two parts:

One part addresses how we try youth in
juvenile courts. Prior to 2000, accused
lawbreakers under 18 were subject to the
states juvenile court system. If a prosecutor wanted the case transferred to adult
court, he or she was required to make an
appeal to a judge, who would have the final say on where the case would be tried.
In 2000, voters passed Prop 21, which
allowed prosecutors rather than judges to
choose between juvenile and adult court.
Those who support 57 believe it would return better balance to our justice system by
putting power back in the hands of judges,
who have less skin in the game than
prosecutors.
The second part of Prop 57 deals with
parole and its more complex. Prop 57
would make some prison inmates eligible
to seek parole once they have served the
base portion of their terms but before they
have served time for the add-ons used to
enhance sentences. These add-ons are
for things like having previous convictions or belonging to a gang.
This proposition begins to address some
of the injustices of the three-strikes law
and gang injunctions. Prison inmates
would still serve out sentences as meted
out in their trials or settlements, but would
be less subject to the extras that are piled
onto their sentences.
I leave the citizens of Claremont with
some facts to consider before casting their
votes:
Fact: In October 2013, the incarceration
rate of the United States was the highest in
the world at 716 per 100,000 of the national population. While the US represents about 4.4 percent of the worlds population, it houses around 22 percent of the
worlds prisoners. Californias incarceration rate is slightly below the national average, but certainly nothing to brag about.
Fact: Research does not support trying
youth as adults. A private MacArthur
Foundation study released in 2003 states

that many children under 16 had as much
difficulty grasping the complex legal proceedings as adults who had been ruled incompetent to go to trial.
Fact: According to data collected by
the Campaign for Youth Justice, Latino
youth are four times, and African American youth nine times, more likely than
white youth to receive an adult prison sentence for the same charges.
Fact: Though the city of Claremont
based its endorsement on a causal relationship between the passage of Prop 47 in
2014 and an increase in crime, many experts say it is too soon for such conclusions.
Keramet Reiter, a criminology professor at UC Irvine, said the ballot measure
has been used by critics as a convenient
scapegoat for the rise in crime. The reality, she said, is more complicated in a state
that is undergoing broad changes to its
criminal justice system, including a massive shift of inmates from state prisons to
local jails.
The Los Angeles Police Department
has reported a double-digit increase in
property crime in 2015, but Chief Charlie
Beck said it is premature to fault Proposition 47. The studies are not done and the
results arent in, he said.
Claremont, it is time to start conversations about the kind of society we want to
build, whether we favor rehabilitation and
redemption or more punitive measures.
Voting yes on Proposition 57 would be a
good start.

LA County Measure A
Dear Editor:
The Claremont Wildlands Conservancy
Boards could list doesnt take into account the basic rules of Measure A, which
imposes an additional property tax with no
expiration date. The allocation of funds is
based on the LA Countys needs list,

which was finalized in July. LA County
was divided into 188 areas with priorities
from very high to very low needs.
One hundred and forty-four areas have
higher needs than Claremont's low
needs. It will take decades before our area
will receive funds. In the meantime, property owners will be paying increased property taxes.
It only takes three members of the board
of supervisors to approve tax rate increases; and our property tax bills shall be the
only notices required.
The five members of the Citizens Oversight Advisory Board will be appointed by
the board and will serve at the pleasure of
the board. Measure A is a funding source
completely controlled by the five-member
board of supervisors.

Prop 58, Measure M

Dear Editor:
Vote yes on 58English Proficiency,
Multilingual Education. Prop 58 repeals
the most restrictive parts of Proposition
227, a 1998 initiative that limited the
methods California schools can use to
teach English to students who are not native English speakers. This measure addresses the inequity of Prop 227 and frees
parents and schools to provide the best educational opportunities for all children,
regardless of first language. The League
opposed Prop 227 nearly 20 years ago
and urges support for this change.
The county and local League also supports Measure M, which raises money for
the Gold Line to be built from Azusa to
Claremont. Vote yes on Measure M, so we
can get to and from Los Angeles and
points west without driving the clogged
freeways.
It is difficult to gather enough information to vote wisely on the 17 state propositions and the county ones as well, and I
hope my letters have helped you understand them better so that your vote is an
educated one.

Claremont Modern: The Convergence of Art + Architecture

by John Neiuber
n Sunday, November 13 at 3
p.m., Claremont Heritage will
premiere Claremont Modern:
The Convergence of Art + Architecture at Midcentury, a documentary
chronicling the movement that has come
to be known as the Claremont School,
where the intersection of art and architecture produced an incredible creative output at mid-century.
The premiere will be held at the Garrison Theater at

Scripps College, including a Q & A with Filmmaker
Paul Bockhorst and Alan Hess, architectural historian
and author, followed by a wine reception.
Claremont is known for its tree-lined streets, stately
college campuses, diverse architectural styles and a
small-town, quintessential American village. It could
be the perfectly designed, all-American setting for
any film. It is lesser known as one of the rare places
with a cultural character embracing art, architecture,
design and education.
Recently new attention and scholarship is being
given to its important role in the history of mid-20th
century architecture, craft and art.
The focus on Claremont began in 2012, with the
Getty initiative, Pacific Standard Time: Art in LA
1945-1980, that celebrated the vibrancy of art in the
Los Angeles area with more than 30 concurrent exhibitions, some featuring Claremont artists.
Locally, two organizations have advanced the
scholarship and interest even moreClaremont Heritage and the Claremont Museum of Art. The organizations collaborated to present a series of four
exhibitions in 2012, in conjunction with Pacific Standard Time, under the banner of Claremont Modern.
The series explored both the art and architecture of
the community. And, in 2014, the museum premiered
its film Design for Modern Living: Millard Sheets
and the Claremont Art Community 19351975 that
focused on Claremont as an important center for the
visual arts.

USBank & Trust, formerly Pomona First Federal,
boasts a a mosaic of Native Americans on horses
surrounded by flowering yucca plants created by
Millard Sheets.
With the development of substantial art programs at

the Claremont Colleges, spearheaded by the artist and
educator Millard Sheets, Claremont attracted a large
number of artists in the years following World War II.
Painters, sculptors, ceramists, muralists and mosaic
artists, architects and designers shared ideas and
forged close friendships. With a cultural climate that
was conducive to the integration of art, craft and architecture, Claremont became an important center of
midcentury modern design.
Claremont had developed as an art community in
the 1930 and 1940s with artist/teachers such as Arthur
and Jean Ames, William Manker, Henry McFee,
Richard Petterson, Albert Stewart, Millard Sheets and
Milford Zornes. But it was in the 1950s that Claremont really buzzed.
With the end of war came a renewed hope in the
American Dream and all things possible. Returning
vets used the GI Bill to attend college. The electricity
in Claremont was generated by Millard Sheets who
accepted many young artists into the Graduate School
to study at Scripps College and took on Sam Maloof
and others as apprentices. Claremont became a veritable hotbed of modernism and as painter Karl Benjamin would later say, the epicenter of the art world
in Southern California in the 1950s and 1960s.
Claremont had long enjoyed the works of turn-ofthe-century classic revivalist architects such as
Marston and Maybury, Gordon Kaufmann and Myron
Hunt, who worked with several of the Claremont Colleges. The Modernist movement in Claremont can be
traced back to one of the earliest Arts and Crafts
houses, The Darling House, designed in 1903 by
Greene and Greene, that marked the brothers shift
from an early, more conventional style to a groundbreaking new form of design.
People associated with the Claremont art community
and the Claremont Colleges were highly receptive to
modern trends in architecture, and many of them engaged the services of local architects to create houses
and other structures suited to the informal, nature-oriented lifestyle of southern California.
Post-and-beam construction, flat or low-pitched
roofs, extensive use of glass, perforated concrete-block
sun screens, carports, integrated atriums and patios, and
careful attention to landscape design typify the modern
architecture produced in the Pomona Valley in the postwar period.
At mid-century, the architects who created work in
Claremont reads like an American Institute of Architects Whos Who: Richard Neutra, Theodore Criley
Jr., Foster Rhodes Jackson, Cliff May, Everett Tozier,
Buff and Hensman, Whitney Smith, Fred McDowell,
and Paul R. Williams. Others such as Boyd Georgi,
COURIER photo/Steven Felschudneff

Cliff May and Chris Choate designed the Milford
Zornes home on Via Padova in 1953, which now includes a studio and carport addition by Theodore
Criley and Fred McDowell in 1963.
Carl Troedsson and Leland Evison also made their

collective mark on the residential landscape.
Not to be overshadowed by residential commissions, the institutional and commercial output during
this period included work by A. Quincy Jones &
Frederick Emmons, Victor Gruen & Associates,
Pereira & Luckman, Edward A. Killingsworth and
famed east coast architect Edward Durell Stone. John
Lautner designed an office building and shopping
center for Claremont although they were never built.
Mr. Lautner did design Henrys Diner (now demolished) on Route 66 on the Pomona border that was the
epitome of modern drive-in architecture; a huge
whale-like structure that offered respite on the drive
from the desert to the city.
The buildings and homes were filled with modern
furnishings and artwork by local artists and craftsmen. Those artists and craftsmen, many of whom
came to study after WWII, made Claremont their lifelong home, working as professors, designers and studio artists. These included Karl Benjamin, Harrison
McIntosh, Paul Darrow, Betty Davenport Ford, Rupert Deese, Phil Dike, John and Gretchen Fassbinder,
Carl and Sue Hertel, and John Svenson, among others.
Modernism had a deep and enduring influence in
Claremont. The 90-minute documentary chronicles
the efforts of forward-looking architects and designers
to create living environments suited to the physical
and cultural landscape of Claremont and southern
California. The film captures the areas rich architectural heritage, from early expressions of modern
thinking to the residential housing boom of the postwar period to institutional and commercial projects
that advanced modern ideas in architecture and design. Few places of equally small geographic area
have produced such a plethora of outstanding work in
both architecture and art that impacted the Modernism movement.
Tickets for the November 13 screening and reception are $20 in advance or $25 at the door and are
available at claremontheritage.org.
Thanks to David Shearer, executive director of
Claremont Heritage, for his contributions to this column.

Claremont
Claremont mayor urges yes vote on Measure M

by Sam Pedroza, mayor of Claremont
easure M on the November 8

ballot is unanimously supported
by the Claremont City Council,
and is a measure I strongly believe should
be passed by voters.
Measure M is a new half-cent sales tax that will
fund 40 major highway and transit projects throughout our county in the first 40 years, including the
Foothill Gold Line light rail project to Claremont
(which is one of the first projects to be funded under
Measure M if it passes).
All of these projects will provide alternative means
of transportation and improvements to existing
modes, giving residents of Claremont valuable time
back by reducing time spent sitting in traffic.
Not only does the extension of the Foothill Gold
Line provide more transit options for Claremont residents, but it also creates another way to build our
local economy by bringing people from Pasadena and
Los Angeles to enjoy Claremonts shopping, dining
and cultural events.
Other important local projects that would be
funded by Measure M include improving the 57 and
60 interchange, the 605 and 10 and 605 and 60 interchanges, completing the SR-71 through Pomona, and
providing hundreds of millions of dollars for bike,
bus and other local projects to improve the way we
move.
Importantly, the measure also includes local return
VIEWPOINT
funds, estimated to bring more than $500,000 to the
city of Claremont each year for improvements we decide to make to our transportation system here in our
city.
Notably, Metro has built-in room for flexibility in
case new technologies come online or better solutions
are found that we dont know of today. They have
also built in independent oversight to ensure the funds
are spent as promised (both at the county level and at
the city level).
I have heard some people say they are against any
new, permanent tax. I understand their concerns, but I
must say that I believe a permanent sales tax is the
best option in the case of Measure M.
In addition to being able to bond against future revenues to build more projects and build them sooner, a
permanent tax provides a higher proportion of local
return to each local city; keeps fares low for seniors,
students and the disabled; and provides Metro the ongoing funding they need to maintain their growing
system in a state of good repair as it ages.
If you look around the country today, many of the
larger, older systemslike Washington, DC, Boston,
Chicago and San Franciscoare having a terrible
time maintaining their systems because they did not
create a permanent funding stream to use for maintenance. This has caused safety issues as well as loss of
service due to breakdowns or wearing of equipment.
Rather than just asking voters to build additional
rail miles and finish freeway segments that are long
overdue for completion, Metro is strategically planning for the systems future and ensuring they have
the resources needed to keep the system running
smoothly in the decades ahead.
Measure M will also provide a huge economic
boon for our region. The Los Angeles Economic Development Corporation estimates the measure will
create more than 465,000 jobs for our region and generate billions of dollars of economic output that will
boost our local economy.
Unlike previous tax measure proposals, Metro did
it right this time. They have spent time, worked with
each area of the county, listened to the feedback and
proposed a plan that benefits everyone.
For us here in Claremont, it will mean getting the
Foothill Gold Line to finally arrive in our city, at least
$500,000 a year for local transportation improvements, funding for Metrolink and Dial-a-Ride and
much more.
There is no other source of money available to accomplish what Metro is proposing through Measure
M, and I believe this is our chance to become a
county prepared for the next century.
I urge you to join our city council in support of
Measure M on November 8.

Avocado shortage hits home with huge price increases
ans of avocado are well

aware that the natural
delicacy costs a bit
more than most produce. In
fact, some clothing companies
have capitalized on this piece
of common knowledge by producing humorous t-shirts with
slogans like, Yes, I know avocado is extra and I know that
guacamole is extra.
In recent weeks, however, extra has
taken on a whole new meaning. The cost
of avocado has more than tripled in recent weeks, thanks to a major shortfall.
Each week in October 2015, Mexico
sent at least 40 million pounds of avocados to the United States. This October,
the neighboring country has sent about
13 million pounds per week, according
to the Hass Avocado Board.
The shortage was spurred by a strike
among avocado workers in the Mexican
state of Michoacan, protesting wages
paid by packing companiesreportedly
as low as $1 for the same two pounds of
avocados sold to the United States for
more than $5.
The strike has been settled, but prices
to strike a balance.
Theyve stopped serving avocado rolls
and avocado salad, two of their most avocado-heavy items. They are still serving sushi that contains slices of avocado,
but if costs continue to rise the restaurant
may have to consider raising the price of
some items, according to Mr. Jo.
Podges Claremont Juice Company is
walking a similarly thin line between
waiting out the crisis and protecting their
bottom line. The Yale Avenue juice bar
and restaurant has traditionally charged
customers $1 to add half an avocado to
any sandwich. They have raised the price
for extra avocado to $2, prompting consternation among some customers, according to owner/manager Uvon
Cisneros.
Podges is not profiting from the price

she emphasized. Instead, the

Produce manager Ruben Terrones inspects the Hass avocados on Wednesday at Wolfes Market in Claremont. A recent shortage in the supply of avocados has resulted in steep prices, both at the grocery store
and at some area restaurants.
AVOCADOS/from previous page
Still, if the cost continues to rise, Podges may have

to consider removing the option of adding extra avocado to their other sandwiches, according to Ms. Cisneros.
The price for avocados has escalated at least three
Claremont grocery stores as a result of the shortage.
On Monday, an employee in the produce department of Sprouts said the price tag for a small avocado
at the grocery store has gone from 99 cents to $1.49,
the most expensive he has seen it. A Vons employee
said the price for a single avocado had risen from
$1.69 to $1.99 recently. An employee of Wolfesa
store that doesnt benefit from the same high volume
as chain marketssaid they have recently been sell-
13
ing the prized produce for as high as $3.49 for a single avocado.
Less is more, literally
Returning to the citys booming restaurant business, Walters Restaurant hasnt stopped serving avocados but they have been buying less. General
manager Dawould Ghafarshad noted the eatery has
been running out of avocados and guacamole earlier
than usual.
We have to make necessary adjustments. Business
goes on, he said.
A scoop of avocado is one of the more popular ingredients customers can add to their sashimi bowl at
the new Hawaiian-style seafood restaurant Poke Dot,
located in the Village West.
Avocado is still an option, but an employee told the
COURIER that the fast-casual establishment has less
of the produce in stock than usual. As a result, theyre
serving the fruit on a first-come, first-served basis.
Mexican restaurants are among the hardest hit by
the inflation, considering the ubiquity of avocado garnishes and guacamole in the American iteration of the
cuisine.
At Casa Moreno, the fresh guacamole appetizer is
listed on the menu as selling for market price. In recent weeks, the market price has risen from $7 to $14,
according to a manager.
Other restaurants specializing in Mexican food are
trying to wait out the situation. Commenting on the
hike in avocado prices, an Espiaus manager said the
restaurant is taking it as a hit.
El Ranchero has seen its avocado costs rise from
$28 per box to as much as $100 per case, but hasnt
yet limited avocado or raised their prices.
We offer avocados on the menu, so theres nothing
we can do, owner Jose Haro said. Were hoping for
a miracle.

Improved CHS volleyball team marches forward in CIF play
laremont High School girls volleyball swept past their first challenger in the CIF playoffs Tuesday
night, defeating the Sonora Raiders of La
Habra, 3-0.
The victory marked the culmination of a storybook
season for the girls, with a 9-1 record in league play
and the Packs first league title
since 1998.
SPORTING
Watching the team play, their talLIFE
ent is obvious. With smooth, confident motions, they effortlessly get the ball where their
top hitters will get a kill. And boy, did they get kills
Monday, led by Simone Bliss with 14 and Emilee
Rohrer with 12.
Claremont came out strong in the first setgoing
up by three before Sonora got on the boardand
pretty much maintaining a five-point lead all the way
to the 25-17 finish.
The second set was a different story, with Sonora
holding a narrow lead until the Pack tied at the score
at 8. From there Claremont reasserted their dominance, limiting the Raiders to just seven more points
on the way to an eventual 25-16 win.
The second set also saw a large number of points
given up through serving errors, including four by
Claremont. Claremont coach Dan Reighter indicated
that he was pushing his team to try more difficult
serves, which may have accounted for the ones that
missed.
The final set was more like the first, with Claremont controlling the pace and, even though Sonora
tied the score twice, it was the most lopsided victory
for Claremont with a 24-10 final result.
In spite of the lopsided score both teams played
skillfully, including execution of some amazing saves.
The Pack had some great defensive plays and passing,
with 14 digs from Bel Grabowski; 22 assists from
Kylie Robinson; and 15 assists from Merisa Marquez.
Robinson also had four serving aces.
The girls program at Claremont has been a revolving door for head coaches recently, so Coach Reighter
being able to pull off a league title in his first year is
an accomplishment.
I have to give it more to the girls than myself, he
said following the game. The seniors have had four

coaches in four years, but they really came together

and picked up the pace. I just had to make sure they
stayed together.
Bliss had a great game both on offense and defense
and, along with Rohrer, showed some leadership as
well. She [Bliss] is definitely one of the top two
players on the team. It will be interesting without her
next year, but some of the players we have coming up
should be good, Coach Reighter said.
If Claremont prevails in the Gahr game Thursday,
November 3 in Cerritos, they will be back in Claremont on Saturday. Be sure to see our updated coverage at claremont-courier.com on Friday.

HIGH SCHOOL ROUNDUP
WEBB GIRLS TENNIS

CROSS COUNTRY
Top-ranked Claremont High School
cross country finished another great season of competition on Saturday, winning
the Palomares League title on the Legg
Lake course at Whittier Narrows Park.
Claremont Coach Bill Reeves said the
course was flat and weather conditions
were cool, making for very low times.
Owen Bishop was the top finisher for
the Pack, coming in second place at 5:02,
just one second behind Alaya phenom
Steven Khan. Ryan Renken was fifth at
5:06, with a trio of Claremont runners
Jonah Evans, Ryan Cowgill and Anthony
Lamarplacing in the top 10. Claremont scored a decisive win with 31
points, followed by Ayala with 44 and
Bonita at 82 points.
Claremont girls took the top three
spots with Annie Boos at 5:45, followed
by Sydney Hwang 5:46 and Jax Heckers
5:51. As a result of sweeping the top
spots, the girls team score was an amazing 19 followed by Glendora at 61 and
Ayala at 76.
The results bode well for Claremont as
the CIF Southern Section meets are coming up, with an eye on the state meet later
this month in Fresno.
Claremont boys also won the junior
varsity and frosh/soph races. The girls JV
team won their race with 16 of the top 20
places, including all top nine spots.

San Joaquin League with Fairmont Prep
and won the league playoff singles title
with Kirkpatrick named league MVP.

WEBB VOLLEYBALL
Webb boys water polo defeated Whitney 22-1 on Tuesday, with four goals
each from Mitchell Fargo and Brandon
Fanghad. Webb is now 11-14 overall, 30 in league and will host the CIF opener
on Wednesday.
Vivian Webb volleyball defeated Vista

Del Lago 3-0 (25-20, 25-18, 25-19). The
Gauls are now 9-14 and hosted Archer
School for Girls on Thursday at 7 p.m.
Claremont defeated Glendora 19-4 at

home in the final league game of the season. An amazing 10 players scored at
least one goal, led by Bruno Snow who
had five. Goalkeeper Kellan Grant had
eight saves and, remarkably, also scored
one goal.
The Pack was also in tournament play
over the weekend with mostly good results. They defeated Troy, La Serna and
Santiago but lost to Beckman and Redlands East Valley. The Redlands East
Valley 7-4 defeat was a disappointment
as the Wildcats defeated the Pack for the
CIF title last year.

DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME ENDS

TOMORROW Its time to fall back,
with daylight saving time ceding to standard time early tomorrow. Daylight saving timeoften (incorrectly) called daylight savings timewill end at 2 a.m. on
Sunday, November 6. Daylight saving
time in the United States was not intended to benefit farmers, as many people
think. In fact, the agriculture industry was
deeply opposed to the time switch when
it was first implemented on March 31,
1918 in an effort to conserve fuel needed
to produce electric power during World
War I. The plan was so unpopular that
farming interests led a successful effort to
repeal it the very next year. It was re-implemented at the beginning of World War
II. After that conflict, it was left to local
governments to decide whether or not to
take part. It wasnt until the Uniform Time
Act of 1966 that the practice was made official and consistent across the entire
country and its territories, with the exception of Hawaii, Arizona, Puerto Rico,
American Samoa, Guam and the Virgin
Islands, all of which do not observe the
practice, either in part or wholly.

This local man love electionsgood, bad and ugly
f theres one thing we can

all agree onand it just
may be the only thing we
can all agree onits that this
years election cycle has been
surreal.
Its unbelievable, said Larry
Wilmore. It really is like a [Salvador]
Dali painting. I mean, that clock is just
melting all over the place in this election. Its unrecognizable at this point.
But the Pomona-born Mr. Wilmore is
fascinated by the machinations of the
American electoral process, no matter
how distasteful it has been this time
around.
For me, I love elections, said the
comedian, actor, writer, author, producer, political commentator and, most
recently, the host of Comedy Centrals
The Nightly Show With Larry
Wilmore. Ive been a political junkie
since I was a kid, watching Walter
Cronkite. So I cant get enough of this
time of year.
Mr. Wilmore will bring his insights
on the election to Claremont on
Wednesday, November 9 at Bridges
Auditorium with Larry Wilmore:
Making Sense of the Results. Tickets
for the 8 p.m. event are free, but
RSVPs are required online at
pomona.edu/events/larry-wilmoremaking-sense-results.
Although he chuckled at the mention, Mr. Wilmore has moved deftly,
though certainly not quickly, from
standup to noted satirical journalist,
as he is referred to in Pomona Colleges
promotional material.
I suppose [its true] at this point, he
said. But its funny when youre a comedian. I always say, You guys know
Im a fake journalist, you know? Im
just giving my comic perspective on
things more than anything else. But I
am a fan of journalism. Im not an expert pundit. I would lose in a policy argument. But I can distill, I think, whats
going on. I think Im good at that. I stay
in my lane!
The event is a homecoming of sorts
for the 55-year-old entertainment industry veteran. He was born and raised
in Pomona, the third of six children for
Betty and Larry Wilmore. Mr. Wilmore
attended Damien High School in La
Verne, graduating in 1979. He studied
theater at California State Polytechnic
University Pomona, but left early to
pursue acting and standup comedy.
Mr. Wilmore was nominated for an
Emmy Award in 1992 for his writing
on In Living Color. He won in 2002
for his writing on The Bernie Mac
Showa program he created and for

Larry Wilmore will bring his special
brand of comedy to Bridges Auditorium in Claremont just one day after
the election.
which he served as executive producer.

And this year he received an
NAACP Image Award for outstanding
comedy series for Black-Ish, a show
for which Mr. Wilmore served as executive producer. He may be most familiar to viewers from The Nightly Show
With Larry Wilmore, which ran from
January 2015 to August of this year, or
as Jon Stewarts Senior Black Correspondent on The Daily Show.
Mr. Wilmore said it would have been
a far-fetched thought to be a guest lecturer at the esteemed Claremont Colleges when he was growing up in
Pomona.
Ha! I never ever imagined something of the sort, he said. I mean, of
course, when youre younger you never
think anybody ever wants to listen to
anything you have to say. But Ive always been an admirer of those
schools.
This fractious election season has left
many of us bruised, divided and frankly
disgusted. Its a weird time to be an
American.
I think were kind of confused as to
who we are and where were going,
Mr. Wilmore said. When you look at
the fracture of the two parties, people
dont even know how to judge how
Obama did. Theres not even a consensus about what just happened these past
eight years.
The divide is across both major parties, he added.
You have a president with extremely high approval ratings, but the
job approval is extremely low. Like,
how people feel about where the country is is low. And that doesnt comport
with itself. That doesnt make sense. So
there seems to be some cognitive dissonance about what just happened.
Strange times, indeed.
I think there was such a split about
how government could work when

Obama came into office, and that fracture never healed itself, he added. I
mean, when you look at his signature
legislationthe Affordable Care Act
I cant think of any type of legislation
on that scale that got zero votes from
the opposition and yet somehow
passed. That just doesnt make sense.
Say what you will, legislation cant be
that horrible, and if its that horrible,
how does it get passed?
hen you think

about it, in
the 1960s a
much more dangerous piece
of legislation called the Civil
Rights Act got bi-partisan support at a time when people
were literally being tortured in
the streets by fire hoses and
arrested, Mr. Wilmore recalled.
And were talking about healthcare
and it cant get one vote from the other
side? I mean, what does that say about
us? Who are we? Where are we? I think
on both sides of the aisle [that fracture]
just manifested itself in different ways,
everything from the Tea Party to Occupy Wall Street, from Bernie Sanders
to even the Trump phenomenon. Thats
my laymans perspective on it.
Despite his modesty about being labeled a satirical journalist, Mr.
Wilmore has strong opinions on the television branch of the fourth estate.
I think a lot of young people just
dont trust the news to be as unbiased
as they purport to be, he opined.
Mr. Wilmores commentary will be
followed by an interview-style discussion with Pomona College W.M. Keck
Professor of English Kevin Dettmar.
The self-confessed political junkie
was downright giddy when asked if he
was ready for election day. History
will be made next week, regardless of
which way youre voting. Good lord,
Im not ready for this!" Mick Rhodes

Local painter gets geological with new Stacked exhibit
nne Seltzer has a growing reputation as an important local artist.

Come this weekend, however,
she will become a veritable
Claremont rock star.
Ms. Seltzer is presenting an exhibit of
stone-inspired artwork called Stacked,
on view beginning today, Friday, November 4, at the Ginger Elliot Gallery.
The show features paintings, photographs and an opportunity for some interactive rock play.
Its an impressive display, showcasing
acrylic images of rock arrangements
with a vivid color palette and hard-edge
style evoking mid-century art. There are
also painted stones on display, with a few
piles of rocks gallery visitors can get
their hands on.
One rock grouping is a bit of a brainteaser. Ms. Seltzer has put up a large photograph featuring a pile of stacked
stones. Guests are challenged to use the
same stones and try to replicate the precarious arrangement. What you do with
another jumble of rocks is left to the
imagination.
Ms. Seltzers preoccupation with
stones began some time back, when she
began experimenting with rock stacking
during visits to the Anza-Borrego Desert.
Getting it right is almost a form of active
meditation, she said.
You find the balance pointsthe absolute center of the rocks. Its so satisfying to find balance. For me, its all about
balance, she said.
Later, when she taught for a time at a
drug and alcohol treatment center, she introduced rock stacking to the women in
the program.
We would spend an hour stacking
rocks in silence. Sometimes you would
hear rocks fall and a burst of giggles,

delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in
the county where the real property is located. NOTICE
TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering
bidding on this property lien, you should understand
that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does
not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the
lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you
are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may
be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien
being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title
to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the
existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may
exist on this property by contacting the county
recorders office or a title insurance company, either
of which may charge you a fee for this information. If
you consult either of these resources, you should be
aware that the same lender may hold more than one
mortgage or deed of trust on this property. NOTICE
OF TRUSTEE'S SALE Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt
owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt NOTICE TO
PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this
notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by
the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant
to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law
requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as
a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish
to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and,
if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale
of this property, you may call (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site http://www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices.aspx
using the file number assigned to this case 2016-02056CA. Information about postponements that are very
short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best
way to verify postponement information is to attend
the scheduled sale. Western Progressive, LLC, as

County of LOS ANGELES. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that NATALIE A. BLICKENSTAFF be
appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act . (This authority will allow
the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very
important actions, however, the personal representative
will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed
action.) The independent administration authority will be
granted unless an interested person files an objection to
the petition and shows good cause why the court should
not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will
be held in this court as follows: 11/28/16 at 8:30AM in
Dept. 9 located at 111 N. HILL ST., LOS ANGELES,
CA 90012 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your
attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent
creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal representative
appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b)
of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the
date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice
under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your
rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of
an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

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
