experience with the PUC has shown it to be
as disreputable as many health insurer
groups. There is little reason why this ap-
pointed commission whose only over-
sight by the public is advisory would be
a desirable alternative.
I was also disturbed by a SB 562 propo-
sition which ...would prohibit health care
service plans and health insurers from of-
fering health benefits or covering any serv-
ice for which coverage is offered to indi-
viduals under the program... This could be
interpreted as setting up monopolies similar
to what we have with the water company.
When you look at what the CPUC was
supposed to be doing and how it ended up
being a front for profit-making monopolies,
it makes one cautious about setting up an-
other bureaucracy that may end up doing
something similar with health care.

Claremonts energy vision
Dear Editor:
As a longtime resident of the city I ap-
plaud the efforts of the Claremont Energy
Vision, Roadmap to Net Zero and any/all
other efforts toward energy sustainability.
I admit to not being engaged in this
process other than doing what I can at my
home toward sustainability, and reading
the COURIER to try and stay abreast of
local developments.
What I am not reading about are large-
scale efforts toward solar renewable en-
ergy generationthat is, a city-owned,
solar-based public utility. We all know that
solar equipment is relatively inexpensive,
easy to design/install and almost mainte-
nance-free.

Council approves CBO grants, retrofits streetlights
T
he city council approved funding for
community-based organizations
(CBO) and moved forward with
streetlight purchases during Tuesday nights
meeting.
The CBO presentation by Human Services Director
Anne Turner outlined a number of programs that will
receive funding by the city. Twenty agencies applied
for grant in the past year, with a grand total of grant ap-
plications totaling $169,280.
Unfortunately, the city has only allocated $86,650 in
available funds for general services and $60,000 for
homeless services.
The city gets more applications than funding avail-
able, and this is certainly true this year, Ms. Turner
said.
The CBO program was established in 1989 to pro-
vide funding for nonprofits in need, Ms. Turner said.
The current budgeting amount for general services has
been in place since 2004, while the budgeting amount
for homeless services has remained in place since 2008.

In an April 19 letter emailed to Claremont City At-

council and City Manager Tony Ramos, James Belna
outlined what he called serious concerns about Best,
Best & Kriegers conduct in the course of Clare-
monts attempt to acquire the local water system.
In particular, Mr. Belna accuses the law firm of vio-
lating Government Code section 1090a part of Cal-
ifornia state law that prohibits a municipal employee
from having a financial interest in a city contract. Ms.
Carvalho is also partner with Best, Best & Krieger

I am writing to you today to direct your attention
to the fact that you and your firm continue to have a
conflict of interest with the city of Claremont, and to
remind you of your professional obligation to take
immediate action to resolve the conflict, Mr. Belna
wrote.
Subdivision A of section 1090 states that, Mem-
bers of the Legislature, state, county, district, judicial
district, and city officers or employees shall not be fi-
nancially interested in any contract made by them in
their official capacity, or by any body or board of
which they are members. Nor shall state, county, dis-
trict, judicial district, and city officers or employees
be purchasers at any sale or vendors at any purchase
made by them in their official capacity.
Mr. Belna believes Ms. Carvalho violated the code
in entering into an agreement with other partners in

seling services and parent support program for under-
served families in the Claremont Unified School Dis-
trict.
Homeless services that made the cut include the
Claremont Homeless Advocacy Program (CHAP),
which received $7,200 in funding; Inland Valley Hope
Partners, receiving $32,900 for their Family Stabiliza-
tion and Homeless Assistance Programs and $3,000 for
Our House Shelter, which serves as a residential fam-
ily emergency housing program.
One aspect of the CBO funding process is the allo-
cation of 20 percent of grant funding for new and
emerging programs, which reflect newly-identified
needs or an increase in an existing need, Ms. Turner
said.
Programs that will benefit from that funding will be
the new Claremont Museum of Art for their Project
ARTstART Program ($3,100), Claremont Community
School of Musics I Love Chorus program ($1,200),
The Summer Music Theater Program for the Inland
Valley Reparatory Theater ($1,150), Sustainable Clare-
monts Planting With Purpose Claremont Urban Forest
Program ($2,000) in general services, and Pacific Life-
lines Womens Program ($7,300) for homeless serv-
ices.
Ms. Turner noted that all the programs that applied
for funding under the new and emerging program cat-
egory were able to receive funding.
Councilmember Sam Pedroza thanked the commis-
sion for their work, and noted that the CBO program
is, one of those reasons why this city stands out from
the others.
Its a very rare thing that cities do this type of ef-
fort, he said. It really is a safety net that were able to
help so many different organizations throughout the
city.
Councilmember Corey Calaycay abstained on vot-
ing on one program that is set to receive funding, Fair-
plexs Big Yellow Bus Program, as he is also a part-time
employee of Fairplex.
Other than that, the program passed unanimously.
The city also approved the purchase and retrofit of
hundreds of streetlights peppered throughout Clare-
mont. The purchase is phase II of a city plan to convert
all streetlights in the city to energy-efficient LED bulbs,
according to Principal Planner Chris Veirs.
The lights being purchased are classified as LS-1,
which have the highest monthly tariffs for lights in the
city. The sale of these poles were approved by the Pub-
lic Utilities Commission (PUC) in 2012 but stopped in
2016. According to Mr. Veirs, Claremont slipped in just
under the deadline.
Phase I was initiated in March 2016, when the city
council approved converting city-owned streetlights to
LED bulbs. This time around, the city would purchase

BB&K to serve as counsel in the citys efforts to take
over the water system. The findings under section
1090, according to Mr. Belna, present a clear conflict
of interest on the part of BB&K.
BB&K had a material financial interest in the pro-
posed acquisition, as it was foreseeable that your firm
would be able to bill several million dollars in fees to
handle the litigation, Mr. Belna wrote.
Multiple interview requests to Ms. Carvalho by
email were not returned by press time. When reached
for comment, Mr. Ramos told the COURIER by
phone that the city is currently looking over the
claims made in Mr. Belnas letter and will draft a re-
sponse at a later date.

No one at the meeting shared my view, he said.
Mr. Belna noted that since then, nobody from the
council or city staff has responded to his concerns
about the issue, including the letter sent on April 19.
Mr. Belna cites a number of articles that support his
claim, including a California Attorney General Opin-
ion written last year that presents the hypothetical sit-
uation of a city attorney having a financial interest in
the issuance of bonds.
Government Code section 1090 prohibits an
arrangement under which a contract city attorneys
compensation for providing the city with additional
bond counsel services is based on a percentage of
the citys bond issuances, the opinion concluded.
Mr. Belna believes the funds used to purchase the
water system fall under the expansive meaning of
the term contract under section 1090.
Mr. Belna contends the citys initial legal services
contract with BB&K, entered in May 2015, was itself
a violation of section 1090. The contract, which Mr.
Belna states is a provision for an enhanced billing rate
for the firms work on the water system acquisition,
was agreed to less than a month before the city coun-
continues as the city
moves forward in its quest
to take over the water sys-
tem by appealing Judge Fruins decision.
A consequence of the code violation would undo
much of the work the city has undertakenretroac-
tive voidability of any contract that a city official has
had an unlawful interest in, according to Mr. Belna,
adding that Claremont has the immediate right to
recoup the millions of dollars paid to BB&K over the
water system takeover.
In the letter, he accused the firm of acting under its
best interest to dissuade city officials from seeking
independent legal advice or questioning the compe-
tence of BB&Ks performance in any wayeven
though the unexpected loss of $14 million in the pre-
liminary stages of a lawsuit demands scrutiny.
Mr. Belna concluded that Claremont has a right to
independent and conflict-free legal counsel, even if
its officials are unaware of or indifferent to the exis-
tence of a conflict.

laremont police swore in a new
officer during the April 11 city
council meeting.
Claremont Police Chief Shelly Vander Veen swore

Officer Burns started his career in law enforcement
in 1989 as a community service officer at the Fontana
Police Department. He then put himself through the
San Bernardino Sheriffs Academy and was hired by
Fontana PD as a sworn officer in 1995, according to
Chief Vander Veen.
Officer Burns has experience as a field-training of-
ficer, K-9 handler and in the crime-free multi-housing
program.
Officer Burns wife, Summer, pinned his badge be-
fore he was sworn-in by the chief. He told the council

Pomona administration office
Tuesday at 3 p.m. to confront

Vice President and Treasurer
Karen L. Sisson about what they
say is unfair treatment.
It was a heated atmosphere.
The demonstrators demanded respect
and a redress of what they say are long-
standing frustrations at the workplace.
They were also protesting what they as-
sert is a direct reprisal against protected
concerted action.
Tensions between dining hall staff and
management have been rising for some
time.
Workers say theyre often missing in-
gredients and equipment needed to pre-
pare foods advertised on dining hall
menus. Employees also said when a din-
ing hall staffer is out sick or on leave,
they arent replaced, leaving their
coworkers with an extra share of work.
The situation came to a head this Mon-
day, when 11 dining hall workers, in-
cluding Pomona College Lead Cook
Edward Mac, were written up for infrac-
tions such as stoppage of work. Each
of those who were issued a written warn-
ing took part in a political action last
Thursday.
Ms. Sisson told the COURIER that the
initial meetings tone was very aggres-
sive, particularly when it came to the de-
meanor of a union organizer who
accompanied the dining hall workers.
Their business representative was
very strident, she said of Daisy Monter-
roso.
Ms. Monterroso, a representative of

did much of the taking during this Tues-
days action. At times, she translated the

Ms. Monterroso told Mr. Oxtoby and
Ms. Sisson the delegation was seeking as-
surance that the Pomona College admin-
istration was unaware of the write-ups
and didnt support the disciplinary action.
Ms. Sisson told the group crowded into
the presidents office that the write-ups
had nothing to do with censuring political
action. Instead, employees failed to fol-
low procedure.
After hearing Ms. Sissons explana-
tion, Ms. Monterroso said workers and
the union must conclude, with disap-
pointment, that Pomona College admin-
istration endorses punishing staffers for
political action. They say the fish stinks

ast Thursdays school board meet-
ing focused largely on swift and
positive developments with respect
to Measure G, the $58 million general ob-
ligation bond passed by voters in Novem-
ber of 2016.
The Claremont Unified School District Board of Ed-
ucation voted unanimously at its April 20 gathering to
enter into contracts with three architectural firms for
three key bond projects.
The contract for the pool and locker room renova-
tions at El Roble Intermediate and Claremont High
School has been awarded to Ziemba and Prieto Archi-
tects. Once the architects comple the design, the district
will go to bid, seeking a contractor to undertake the
projects.
The pool at El Roble has been unusable and closed
for a few years. The CHS pool is currently up and run-
ning, thanks to the recent purchase of a heater. Its con-
dition has been deteriorating for years, however.
When Measure G was first being shaped, only the El
Roble pool fix was included on the list of potential proj-
ects. When Superintendent Jim Elsasser and Assistant
Superintendent of Business Services Lisa Shoemaker
led public meetings to get a bead on which facilities
changed.
Many CUSD families, particularly those with chil-
dren engaged in water sports at the high school, ex-
pressed their desire that the CHS pool
SCHOOL get an upgrade as well. In response,
BOARD the renovation of the high schools
pool was added to the bond measure,
and a less popular plan to upgrade faculty spaces dis-
trict-wide was swapped out.
It would be hard to project when construction will be
completed, according to Ms. Shoemaker, because of the
locker room component of the projects. Locker rooms
are just the sort of facility likely to trigger ADA (Amer-
ican with Disabilities Act) requirements, expanding the
scope of work.
Were trying to get it rolling sooner rather than
later, Ms. Shoemaker said of the pools upgrade.
WLC Architectsthe same group used for the the-
ater renovation project at CHS has been engaged to
assist with the renovation of the high schools music
building, student center and nutrition services area.
And Ruhnau Ruhnau Clarke will serve as the archi-
tects for the upcoming replacement of many temporary
classrooms throughout the district with longer-lived
modular buildings.
Some campuses, such as Condit, are so short on
where portables are currently situated, Ms. Shoemaker
said. On other campuses, however, the district may be
able to find better placement for modular classrooms.
If it turns out theres a more favorable spot for a mod-
ular, the portable being replaced will likely continue to
be used during construction of the new classroom, to
avoid the displacement of students.
Another order of business moved the district closer to
the renovation of the CHS gym. This project includes
new flooring, new bleachers andfor the first time in
the gyms historythe installation of air-conditioning.
Under the California Public Contract Code, school
districts can use competitive bids prepared by other
school districts and public agencies. Piggyback con-
tracts, as they are sometimes called, can save a district
time and money.
The board voted unanimously to join the National
Joint Powers Alliance, a municipal national contract-
ing agency. The free membership will enable the district
to purchase gym flooring and bleachers through con-
tracts that have been awarded via the competitive
process utilized by the NJPA, according to the school
board agenda.
The district is now poised to purchase gym flooring
for $90,000 and bleachers for $230,000. The labor for

It happened to me just the other day in a conversation
with COURIER Editor Kathryn Dunn, when she re-
counted all of the work she was putting into the news-
papers big move. After a particularly heavy day of
packing, labeling and organizing, she was exhausted. In
an effort to be encouraging, I signed off on our conver-
sation with an upbeat, buon lavoro!
There was really no way to say the same thing in Eng-
lish. If I had said happy work day!, work hard! or even
keep up the good work!, she would have certainly per-
ceived my response as snarky. In Italian, however, buon
lavoro is said to someone in earnest. The closest trans-
lation would be have a productive/meaningful work ex-
perience. Unlike the English good job, which typically
praises a performance or finished product, buon lavoro
is meant to inspire happiness, or satisfaction, within the
worker.
The Japanese have a similar expression, ganbatte,
which goes beyond work and has the broader sense of
work hard, do your best, chin up, be strong. Perhaps a
close English equivalent would be hang in there, but
when I lived in Japan I observed the word used in all
sorts of situations. It was said studying, playing a sport
or even persuading someone. In a classic example of
CITY
collectivist culture, the person who receives the words of
encouragement responds with an enthusiastic ganbari-
masu, which agrees with the good wisher, You are
right, I will do my best!
I asked my students to help me with this article by
sharing some of the expressions that they miss most
from their native languages. A German student reported
that she wished she could use the word kummerspeck, or
grief bacon, which refers to the excess weight gained
from emotional overeating.
A Japanese student surprised me with a word that per-
fectly describes one of my most annoying habits. She
explained that tsundoku refers to buying a book and
leaving it unread in a pile of other new, unread books in
the house. I had no idea that other people did that.
A Chinese student looked at me pensively and asked
Do you have study gods in English? Study what? I
replied. She explained that someone who doesnt have
to study very much but still does amazingly well on tests
and assignments is called a Xue Shen, or study god. She
knew?); in Russian, a pochemuchka is a person who
asks a lot of questions; in Japanese, yoko meshior a
meal eaten sideways, refers to the stress induced by
speaking a foreign language; and in Tagalog, gigil is the
urge to pinch or squeeze something that is unbearably
cute.
A few years ago, I received a book titled, The Mean-
ing of Tingo: and other extraordinary words from
around the world. Tingo is a Pascuense word, which
basically means to steal what you want from a friend by
slowly borrowing items one at a time. Needless to say,
the word tingo made its way into my lexicon along with
some other gems from the bookand yes, the person
who gave me the book had indeed loaned me many
items over the years.
The book offers a glimpse at the way in which differ-
ent cultures view the world. For example, in Hopi the
word masaytaka refers to insects, airplanes and pilots,
while the Indonesian neko-neko describes someone who
has a creative idea that only makes things worse.
I love turning the pages and stumbling across wacky,
funny, offbeat words and I must agree with the authors
insight when he notes that, sometimes a dictionary can
tell you more about a culture than a guidebook.

Superintendents update on Measure G funds

sage of Measure G last
November, Claremont VIEWPOINT
Unified School District staff
has been working to get the ap-
propriate mechanisms in place
to handle accounting, Citizens
Oversight Committee report-
ing and contractor prequalifi-
cation.
To ensure the proper support and
management of construction/modern-
ization projects as well as to provide for
district-level oversight, internal staffing
changes were recently approved by the
board of education. The districts proj-
ect management team will work to-
gether with the architects and other
project personnel to keep costs to a
minimum.
Three architectural firms were ap-
proved and have been assigned bond
projects:
WLC ArchitectsClaremont High
School (CHS) music building, student
center and food prep area;
Ruhnau Ruhnau Clarke Architects
replacing the portables with modular
construction;
Ziemba and Prieto Architects
locker rooms and pools at El Roble and
CHS.
Other projects on the list that require
minimal to no architectural or Depart-
ment of State Architect (DSA) over-
sight, and will be primarily managed by
district staff include: repairing and re-
furbishing roofs; replacing air condi-
tioning; upgrading electrical systems,
installing a new floor, bleachers and air
conditioning in the CHS east gym; and
upgrading elementary classrooms.
During the April 20 board meeting,
members of the CUSD board of educa-
tion approved the issuance of the first
$30 million for bond projects. These
funds should become available to the
district within the first two weeks of
June.
With funds on their way, and projects
having been assigned, the district can
begin to move forward on these various
projects. Our project management team
and architects will involve the appropri-
ate school site staff on projects that di-
rectly affect their programs.
One of our highest priority goals has
been to refurbish the swimming pools
as soon as possible. Architects from
Ziemba and Prieto will engage the nec-
essary pool consultants; however, due
to the proximity of the pools to the
locker rooms, there must be coordina-
tion of these projects. This work will
require DSA involvement in the design
and construction oversight, which typi-
cally prolongs the process.
A district-wide roofing project was
recently authorized and the awarding
bid will be presented for approval at the
May 18 board meeting. It is anticipated
that work will begin on this project
shortly thereafter.
A resolution was also recently passed
which allows the district to participate
in the National Joint Powers Alliance
for the purchase of a new floor and
bleachers for the Claremont High
School gymnasium. Our goal is to have
this work completed over the summer.
Architects from Ruhnau Ruhnau
Clarke will begin planning our transi-
tion from portable classrooms to modu-
lar units with plans of starting the
transition at the end of the 2017-2018
school year.

housing costs, and depending on the
final placement of modular units, we
will continue to house students in exist-
ing portable classrooms whenever pos-
sible.
California Education Code requires
districts to appoint community mem-
bers to provide bond oversight. The
Citizens Oversight Committee (COC)
for Claremont Unified School District
consists of seven community members
that were selected through an applica-
tion process and approved to serve on
the committee. Their primary responsi-
bility is to receive and review informa-
tion related to the expenditure of the
bond proceeds as well as to ensure that
the proceeds are being expended in
compliance with the law.
The first meeting of the COC will
occur prior to the end of the 2016-2017
school year.
The coming months and years are
going to be both busy and exciting.

dollars at work!

thank you again for your commitment
to and endorsement of Measure G.

In wake of student activism, college defends hire of sociologist
A
midst a tumultuous period of stu-
dent demands, protests, strikes
and sit-ins at the Claremont Col-
leges, the Pomona College administration
is standing firm in response to criticism
after hiring prominent sociologist Alice
Goffman.
After a student or group of students emailed
Pomona officials a list of demandschiefly, the im-
mediate dismissal of Ms. Goffman, whose critically-
acclaimed book about how policing and mass incar-
ceration affects African American communities has
sparked national controversy and allegations of
racismthe sociology department emphatically de-
nied the students claims.
We reject the premise that Alice Goffmans work
hyper-criminalizes and hyper-sexualizes African-
Americans, the department wrote in a letter to sociol-
ogy students. In fact, her book is widely regarded as a
sympathetic and humanizing portrait of an over-po-
liced community, and has been part of the national
conversation about racial disparities in crime and in-
carceration.
Pomona College Dean Audrey Bilger dealt a similar
blow to the petitioners hopes, noting in a statement to
the COURIER that Pomona follows a rigorous
process when hiring faculty.
We are pleased that this process resulted in an offer
and an acceptance, and we look forward to [Ms. Goff-
man] joining our very active, vibrant academic com-
munity in the fall as a visiting professor, Ms. Bilger
said.
Pomonas support for Ms. Goffman in the face of
student outcry comes during a wave of student ac-
tivism across the Claremont Colleges.
In March, Harvey Mudd College students voiced
their anger with the school for not releasing an exter-
nal report that quoted anonymous students and faculty
saying the burdensome workload was extreme, and
left students with no time for essential activities like
eating and sleeping.
After the report was leaked to the Claremont Col-
leges newspaper The Student Life, students rallied and
held a sit-in to demand curricular changes, increased
mental health funding and more support for students
of color. They received some concessions from Mudd
President Maria Klawe, who promised $1,500 to each
student diversity group and canceled two days of class.

testers barred access to a building where conservative

Bishara said, nearly echoing the letter. Her research
methods were questionable. And her hire at Pomona
was secretive and seemingly biased.
Ms. Goffmans critics claim that Pomona sociology
students were given no notice that the department
was hiring someone to fill the McConnell Visiting
Professor Chair position.
Candidates were only referred to as guest lectur-
ers, not as potential faculty members, the statement
reads. Students attending the lectures were given no
platform to provide feedback about candidates.
However, Pomona student and sociology liaison
Mary Alice Koon emailed sociology students ahead of
Ms. Goffmans hiring, inviting them to have lunch
with the candidates being considered for the position.
The sociology department received funding to
bring in a tenured, distinguished faculty member from
another university for two to three years, and they are

For instance, Mr. Macs specified time
to break for lunch is 4:15 p.m. He says
he cant afford to stop work then, be-
cause its only 45 minutes before the 5
p.m. dinner crowd shows up. Instead, he
generally breaks at 3 p.m., the same time
he went to speak to administration last
week.
Workers and union reps are convinced
that those written up were purposely
punished. They indicated to Ms. Sisson
and Mr. Oxtoby, who were standing out-
side of the presidents office, that the
write-ups were in direct violation of fed-
eral law.
Section 7 of the National Labor Rela-
tions Act (NLRA) says employees have
the right to join together to advance
their interests as employees and its un-
lawful for an employer to interfere with,
restrain or coerce employees in the exer-
cise of their rights.
Section 8 details some of the things
that constitute interference, including
disciplining employees because of their
protected, concerted activities.
In a later interview, Ms. Sisson as-
serted that the college supports employ-

The board has approved the first issuance
of bond money. That issuance, known as
series A, will yield $30 million.
The districts underwriter, Piper Jaffrey
& Co.which has helped with district re-
financing over the last couple of years
will perform a routine credit check and then
sell the bonds to investors. Ms. Shoemaker
said the money is expected to be available
in late May or early June.
The district had originally planned to is-
sue $20 million in Series A. They opted to
issue $10 million more for two reasons.
The first is that the marketstill-low in-
terest rates plus housing values that con-
tinue to climballows for the district to
issue more bond money while still keep-
ing an important promise to taxpayers.
We can issue 30 million of bonds and
its not going to exceed $46 per $100,000
in assessed value, Ms. Shoemaker said of
the bond cost attached to residents annu-
al tax bills.
Secondly, the district is looking to ac-
quire more bond money sooner so it can
cross bond projects off the list quickly. Con-
struction experts have advised district
staff that constructions prices are likely to
escalate precipitously in the coming
months and years.
Everyone who knows construction, and
how competitive it is, is encouraging us to
do more work sooner rather than later, Ms.
Shoemaker said.

Board of Education will be Thursday, May

ees rights to share their concerns.
The issue was that not every em-
ployee had checked in with their man-
ager to say they were leaving. Those that
did were not written up, she said.
The reason people were written up
was for not following procedures. Sta-
tions were left virtually unmanned. It
created an unsafe environment for stu-
dents.
The employees insist they were fol-
lowing de facto policy, and some say
there has been an unusual amount of
scrutiny regarding clocking in and break
times since last Thursday.
According to Mr. Mac, Unite Here
local union 11 has either filed or is in the
process of filing a suit against Pomona
College with the NLRB.
It remains to be seen whether the din-
ing hall workers and the Pomona College
administration can settle their differences
out of court. If there is legal wrangling,
another stipulation of Section 8 may find
its way into the workers case. Enforcing
new or once unenforced rules could be
considered a reprisalif, and only if, its
done to quell political dissent among
workers.
As with many employee-employer
disputes, there is a he-said, she-said qual-
ity to the conflict.
Ms. Sisson said the staffers and union
reps failed to use an important mecha-

nism for resolving issues. They failed to
attend a Joint Labor Management Com-
mittee (JLMC) meeting scheduled for
the afternoon of Friday, April 21.
I had hoped they would attend so that
we could have had the opportunity to
discuss their issues more fully, Ms. Sis-
son said in a later interview. I believe
they responded that the JLMC wasnt
working.
The JLMC is attended by a neutral
federal mediator to make sure all points
of view are heard and to facilitate the res-
olution of complaints, Ms. Sisson con-
tinued. That meeting would have been a
good opportunity for me to report on the
two specific items mentioned on Thurs-
day. This is important because the JLMC
is the mechanism agreed to in the Col-
lective Bargaining Agreement for re-
solving issues. If workers and their
representatives do not attend, it is very
difficult to get things resolved.
Ms. Monterosso was clear with Ms.
Sisson on Tuesday, saying the staff and
union had purposely opted not to attend
the JLMC meeting. Mr. Mac later attrib-
uted their absence at the meeting to the
fact that administration had dragged its
heels in delivering some requested infor-
mation. They got that information only a
couple days before the meeting, he said,
and they determined that was not enough
time to properly review and respond to
Claremont COURIER/Friday, April 28, 2017 9
the information.
Mr. Oxtoby had a focused message,
which he repeated more than once.
We are committed to respect in the
workplace. We are also committed to
working with the union. Wed like to
work with the union on the contract,
Mr. Oxtoby said.
Ms. Monterroso insisted the contract
was breached the moment those 11 em-
ployees were written up because, ac-
cording to the contracts terms, workers
should first receive coaching and coun-
seling before being disciplined.
Whatever side, if any, is at fault, its
apparent theres a communication break-
down. Ms. Sisson told the COURIER
that administration is, indeed, looking to
address staff concerns.
Take the ingredient shortage, she said.
The reason kitchen staff were short on
ingredients is that a new computer pro-
gram was causing certain things to drop
off the list of needed items. Since last
weeks delegation, they have began
using a whiteboard on which the ingre-
dients to be ordered are written. We can
then ask all employees if they see a prob-
lem with, or if they are in agreement
with, what is on the white board.
Ms. Sisson did not, however, mention
that administration and management
were working to address staff concerns
at Tuesdays meeting, which she said
was a misstep on her part.
I probably should have. Communi-
cation is very important, she said. But
to think on your feet when there are 40
people in the room and theyre agitated
and making accusations, its very hard.
Tuesdays gathering ended dramati-
cally. Ms. Monterroso translated as one
dining hall worker vented his feelings.
The problem is we have a union and
because of that they wont let us work in
peace, he said. Why do you hate us?
We do the work of two people and you
treat us like animals. Im not asking for
anything that is not mine. Im asking for
respect.
Ms. Monterroso warned Mr. Oxtoby
and Ms. Sisson that the crisis wasnt
over. She noted that last weeks delega-
tion had been small and this weeks del-
egation was larger. The next time, she
warned, there will be even more demon-
strators.
The protestors joined in chants of Si,
se puede (yes, we can) and No respect,
no peace. No justice, no peace before
exiting the office. Sarah Torribio

Jeff Overley
Adventurer, friend to all, loving grandfather
John Jeffrey Jeff Overley, a former
Claremont resident, died suddenly of a
heart attack on April 5, 2017, two days
before his 62nd birthday.
He was born at Pomona Valley Hos-
pital in Pomona on April 7, 1955 to Ed-
ward Eugene Gene Overley and
Anita Darlene Spangler. Jeff grew up
in Claremont, where he attended
Mountain View and Condit elementary
schools and El Roble Intermediate
School. His family next moved to Or-
ange County, where he graduated from
Villa Park High School.
Mr. Overley was the owner and oper-
ator of Excel Plumbing and Rooter in
Rancho Cucamonga for many years. A
few years ago he retired and sold his
business, making his home on the
waves of the Long Beach Harbor. Liv-
ing on his boat was a fitting move for
someone who had a lifetime love affair
with the sea and who was dubbed Boat
Papa by his oldest grandson. It was a
nickname that stuck among all five of
his grandchildren, on whom he doted.
Mr. Overley delighted in sailing to
destinations ranging from Catalina Is-
land to La Paz, Mexico. He enjoyed
ocean fishing and bought both his
grandsons their first fishing poles. Mr.
Overley was also an avid camper, who
loved roughing it.
Jeff was an adventurer in the truest
sense of the word. He loved spending
time exploring the roads less traveled on
land and sea, his family shared. He
was most content riding his Harley, sail-
ing his boat or behind the wheel of his
Jeep. But he was never happier than
when he was in the company of his
beloved children, Nichole and Danielle,
and his adored grandchildren.
Mr. Overley had a casual charm that
gained him many friends. His usual
uniform was shorts and a T-shirt.
Dressing up consisted of wearing one
of the many Hawaiian shirts in his
wardrobe. He liked any music that was
fun and upbeat, everything from Jimmy
Buffet to Calypso tunes to country
music.
Between his adventures on surf and
turf, Mr. Overley had many entertain-
ing stories to tell. He has left all who
knew him with a lifetime of memories.
Jeff loved making people laugh,
his family said. He was the jokester
the life of the party. He was a friend to
all who knew and loved him. His warm
smile, the twinkle in his eyes and his
hearty laugh will be deeply missed.
He is survived by his sisters Pam
Overley Morini and Shelley Grier; his
brother Michael Overley; his daughters
Nichole Collins and Danielle Kaiser;
his sons-in-law Thomas Collins and
Gregg Kaiser, and his grandchildren
T.C., Declan and Helena Collins and
Miles and Addison Kaiser. He also
leaves his beloved canine companion
Maggie.

CHS golf notches victory on slick South Hills course

S
outh Hills High School golf sure
does have some swanky digs. Mar-
shall Canyon Golf Course, where
Claremont plays its home matches, is
pretty nice, and the mule deer that live
there do give the place a sincere woodsy
feel.
But the South Hills Country Club where the
Huskies play is really spectacular. The fairways are as
finely manicured as the greens on
most courses with scarcely a divot SPORTING
to be found. There are signs posted LIFE
everywhere reminding guests that the dress code is
strictly enforced, but the staff was far from snooty and
quite helpful when a reporter inquired about the loca-
tion of the high school players. In addition, the club
offers the course for free to the high school players
just to support young golfers.
The Pack was fortunate to be guests at South Hills
on Tuesday for the penultimate match of their 2016
season. Coach Terrance Lynch did have to remind a
couple of his players about the dress code and that
they were required to carry their bags.
Nonetheless, it was a good outing for the boys, who
narrowly defeated South Hills 237-240, advancing
their league record to 3-8. The low score for the day COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff

If pole vaulter Lyling Irwin was anxious as she pre-
pared to clear nine feet six inches, it sure didn;t
show. And she barely reacted when, just a few min-
utes later, she sailed right over the bar. Maybe Irwin
simply didnt realize that her first-place finish had just
clinched the Packs important victory.
Now its in the record books as Claremont defeated
Glendora Tuesday by the narrowest of margins, 69-
67. With the victory, they can claim the girls track and
field title for another year. Claremont boys did not
fare as well, losing to the Tartans 75-57. However, in
a fine twist, the boys will share a league title with
4-1 record.
For the girls, their winning streak of eight straight
league titles will not easily be equaled. There is also
little indication the girls plan to slow down, as a very
strong junior varsity squad is ready to take the helm.
Immediately following the event, head coach
Veronica Amarasekara was brief and to the point,

Chaparral assemblies showcase the art, love of poetry
O
n Friday, April 21, Chaparral held its annual po-
etry assemblies, which are timed each year to
coincide with National Poetry Month.
The event, organized by Chaparral parent Courtney
Thomas, included separate assemblies for students in grades
K-3 and those in fourth through sixth grades. There was
also an open-mic reading during the students lunch pe-
riods, where any kid who wanted to read a poem was en-
couraged to take the mic.
This is the first year for the latter part of the schools
National Poetry Month commemoration. Ms. Thomas and
Chaparral Principal Lisa Yamashita agreed that the spo-
ken-word forums were a great idea, because only one stu-
dent from each class is able to read a poem at the assem-
blies. The first open mic drew more than 40 kids, while
some 30 upper graders read during their lunch.
Ms. Thomas has a fifth grader at Chaparral, her
daughter Isabella, better known as Izzy. Its the sixth year
that Ms. Thomas has arranged the poetry assemblies. She
instituted the tradition when her son, now at Claremont
High School, was attending Chaparral.
Her background is English literature and so poetry is
important to her. Its a love of mine. I wanted to do some-
thing to share it and expose it moreto create more of a
culture around it, Ms. Thomas said.
At the start of the younger students assembly, Ms. Ya-
mashita instructed the students, seated cross-legged on the
floor of the multi-purpose roomhow to speak proper-
ly into the mic so others can hear them properly.
She then read a poem of her own, The Creature in the
Classroom by Jack Prelutsky. The rhyming poem,
about a monster that wreaks havoc in a once-orderly class-

among the primary students at Chaparral.
Many parents attended, perched on benches, including
Nicole Deng. Her first-grade daughter Sophie was poised
to read a poem called The Desert Avenger. Its Sophies
first year at Chaparral, and Ms. Deng has been greatly im-
pressed. We love it. Its such a great family community
here. This schools phenomenal, she said.
The poetry assemblies are another thing to love about
Chaparral, she added.
I think its a fantastic way to start exploring the rela-
tionships between everything in life, she said. Poetry is
a great introduction to the arts, and theyre benefitting from
it at a younger age.
First grade teacher Cyndi Simpson read a poem by Lewis
Carrol, The Crocodile, after giving some background.
In the 1800s, when the author was writing works like Al-
ice in Wonderland, children were encouraged to read po-
etry that carried moral lessons on how they should lead
their lives.
One famous example is by Isaac Watts How Doth the
Little Busy Bee. Mr. Watts verse urges children to busy
themselves like bees, thus preparing for the future. Mr. Car-

Boys tennis shares league title
Claremont defeated Diamond Bar, 11-7, last Thurs-
day at CHS to claim a co-league championship with
the Brahmas. Leyton Boren beat Neal Tengabuma-

and Andrew Weisman were also undefeated.
It was a great team effort, said Coach Kathy Set-
tles. Diamond Bar won the first time the two teams
met, so they ended with matching 7-1 records.
Next Tuesday and Thursday, league playoffs will be
at the Claremont Club.
BOYS VOLLEYBALL
Claremont is on a four-game winning streak with the
boys narrow victory over Los Altos, 3-2, on Tuesday
in Hacienda Heights. The two teams traded sets with
Claremont taking the first, 25-15, losing the second,
25-21, and winning the third, 25-10, before finally los-
ing the fourth, 25-19. The Pack prevailed in the
tiebreaker, 15-7. With the win, the boys are now in first
place in the Hacienda League with a record of 5-2.

Mr. Carrolls croc needs only to wait patiently before he
welcomes little fishes in, with gently smiling jaws.
Third grader Preston Walker said he really enjoyed the
schools focus on poetry.
I just like how it teaches you lessons. Theres so much
fun in it, Preston said. Its fun to think and create and
write it out. And its always fun to rhyme.
Mr. Silverstein also made an appearance in the reper-
toire of upper-grade students, but their poems tended to
take a more serious tone. For instance, fifth grader Natalie
DeWees read one of Emily Dickensons pensive verses.
Will there really be a Morning? the poem begins.
Is there such a thing as Day? Could I see It from the
mountains if I were as tall as they?
Another upper grader, sixth grader Francesca Garcia,
read a poem of her own, Forever Our Hearts Will Sing.
It will soon be published in a literary magazine, thanks to
some affectionate meddling on the part of her mother.
It was supposed to be a song, Francesca explained.
I put it away. I thought it was not that good. Then my mom
secretly found it.
When asked what she wants to do when she grows up,
Francesca didnt have to think very long.
I might consider writing, she said.

BASEBALL
The Pack won one game but lost another this week,
dampening hopes for a post-season appearance. Last
Thursday, the Pack pulled off an amazing recovery to
defeat Bonita 9-8 after trailing 8-0 in the second inning.
The Wolfpack slowly reeled in the Bearcats over the
course of the game until the two teams were tied at
eight in the bottom of the seventh. The game-winning
run came when Kyle Scalmanini singled to left field,
scoring Jerry Garcia from third.
Senior Matt Hohn had a game-topping two hits, two
RBIs and one run, while fellow senior Scalmanini had
two hits and two RBIs. Junior Jake Holcroft had two
hits and one run.
Brenden Argomaniz gets the win, pitching five in-
nings after taking over from Andrew Beauvais.
On Tuesday the Pack lost to Ayala, 3-1, at CHS. The
Bulldogs got two runs in the third inning and each team
scored one run in the sixth. Claremont did manage to
get seven hits to Ayalas nine, but was unable to trans-
late those hits into runs.

POMONA SHOW IN PROTEST OF
MOCA EXHIBIT Southland Resistances
9 Days of Action for the 909 continues with
Breaking the Silence Through Art, from
6 to 9 p.m. at dA Center For The Arts, 252
Main St., Pomona. The show features
Hand/Heart for Ana Mendieta by Carolee
Schneemann. In 1985, Ana Mendieta (a
Cuban American performance artist, sculp-
tor, painter and video artist who is best
known for her earth-body work) died
from a fall from her 34th story apartment
in Greenwich Village, New York. Ms.
Mendieta lived with her husband, mini-
malist sculptor Carl Andre. There were no
eyewitnesses, but neighbors heard the
couple arguing violently prior to Ms.
Mendietas fall. Mr. Andre was tried and ac-
quitted of murder. Mr. Andre just opened
an exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary
Art in Los Angeles. We oppose this in-
stallation, on the grounds that inviting Carl
Andre to MOCA is a tasteless act that per-
petuates the continued silencing of women
and victims of domestic abuse, the press
release stated. As long as Andres exhi-
bition is up at MOCA, Hand/Heart by Car-
olee Schneemann will be available for view-
ing at The dA Center for the Arts. The fu-

Club of Claremont meets over lunch at
11:30 a.m. to discuss Where in the World
Are You? Globalization 2017 with guest
speaker John Tulac, an attorney specializ-
ing in international law. After a long elec-
tion season with politicians of all persua-
sions mangling basic principles of eco-
nomics, its time for a clear-headed look at
free trade, comparative advantage and
globalization, a press release stated.
Globalization has lifted much of the
worlds population out of poverty; at the
same time, many workers in developed
economies have lost their jobs. This talk is
a fast-paced overview of the global econ-
omy and globalization that shows whats
in it for everyone. It also addresses the fail-
ure of the US to effectively mitigate eco-
nomic displacement of workers and argues
for the implementation of new policies.
Mr. Tulac is an attorney active in all areas
of international law, including imports
and exports, licensing and infrastructure
projects. He is extensively involved in oil
and gas, electric power generation, sus-
tainable agriculture and all aspects of
business with China. He trains Chinese
judges and regulators on topics relating to

Thin Ice, a popular local band in the 1970s and 1980s, reunited over the weekend
at the Claremont home of band member Matthew Snyder. The group recently re-
leased The Thin Ice Anthology with 36 tracks they recorded between 1977 and
1984. Band members from left are Michael Alvarez, Gene Icono, Mr. Snyder,
Frank Hanson, Matt Christensen and Collie Coburn.
how it turns out, the band is satisfied with
just finally having the music out there. Its
awesome, he said. Its been a long time
coming.
Thin Ice Anthology is available at
Rhino Records in Claremont and online
at CD Baby. The group is building a web-
site, thiniceanthology.com.
The goal is, To get a response, Mr.
Snyder said, and to hear what people
think about this music. This is an oppor-
tunity just for people who have never
heard the group before to hear this music.
The CDs 36 tunes were remixed and
remastered by Martie Echito, whom Mr.
Snyder credits as one of the driving
forces behind the project. The band is Mr.
Snyder, keyboards and vocals; Frank
Hanson, lead guitar; David Chris (nee Matt
Christensen), woodwinds, vocals; Michael
Alvarez, trumpet, vocals, guitar, bass; Jon
Hypes, bass, and Collie Coburn, bass. Thin
Ices drummer, Elliott Schaeffer, was
killed in an auto accident in 1985. The
tragic event spelled the end of the band,
Mr. Snyder said. The bands manager was
Gene Iacono. Mr. Snyder was the primary
songwriter and arranger for Thin Ice, and
Mr. Hanson was its principal lyricist.
The band began as many do, as a
group of like-minded 17-year-olds. They
were all part of Bonitas award-winning
jazz band program. We really loved
jazz, Mr. Snyder said. We thought jazz
was just the greatest thing there was.
So the kids put together a band to com-
pete at the 1977 Hollywood Bowl Battle
of the Bands. They did well, finishing in
second place in their division. The success
was a confidence boost for the young mu-
sicians. Thin Ice began rehearsing 30 hours
per week and wrote about 25 songs in that
first year. Soon they started gigging out-
side their home turf, including several
shows at the legendary Troubadour in West
Hollywood, where they began drawing big
crowds. The goal, Mr. Snyder said, was
to get a record deal.
But the moment wasnt right. By 1979,
with Thin Ices popularity peaking, punk
and new wave were taking over Los An-
geles. Suddenly, our music was no
longer very fashionable, Mr. Snyder
said.
The band was flexing its musical mus-
cles with progressive jazz-rock and so-
phisticated pop with challenging chord
changes, while punks urgent simplicity
was quickly becoming the preferred plat-
form. The ironic part is the guys in Thin
Ice werent some older generation being
swept aside by the Young TurksThey
were contemporaries of the punks.
We were just so jazzy, Mr. Snyder
said. That might have been part of the
problem. The record industry never real-
Claremont COURIER/Friday, April 28, 2017 19
ly took note. It was a hard time to break
in to the music business.
The new/old record represents the
bands journey as songwriters. The early
stuff was more raw and jazz-influenced,
with the group arriving at a more elabo-
rate pop sound near the end of its run. We
really did learn how to write songs, Mr.
Snyder said.
The band set its sights high. If there was
a template for its sound, 1977s Aja, by
Steely Dan, was it. We were just blown
away by it, Mr. Snyder said.
It could be that Thin Ices sound is bet-
ter suited for todays ears than it was back
during the rise of punk and new wave. In-
terest in progressive rock is perhaps as
strong today as it was in the pre-punk era.
A listen to some of todays modern
prog heroes (Tool, Mastodon and The
Mars Volta, to name a few) reveals a bur-
geoning market for challenging music. It
could be that the timing is right for Thin
Ices progressive jazz-rock-pop thing.
A stumbling block though could be the
unprecedented glut of new music of all
styles consumers have at their fingertips.
The digital revolution has turned anyone
with an iPhone and a decent microphone
into a producer, capable of creating fair-
ly professional sounding tracks. The up-
sideand the downsideis it seems
everyone in the world is making music.
Its a constant firehose of art, 24/7, and it
can be difficult to be heard over the din.
Mr. Snyder is well aware of the new
paradigm. Were willing to take a chance
and see if there will be an interest, he said.
And if there is, then well take it from
there and see what happens. We never
wanted to do anything other than to write
and play music. The fact that we have cre-
ated this large collection of songs that
were very proud of and that we want peo-
ple to hearwe dont really care so
much that theres a vacuum. Were hop-
ing the quality of the music will stand out
and that people will respond to it.
Live shows and writing new tunes
arent out of the question, Mr. Snyder said.
It just depends on what the level of in-
terest is. Were hoping there will be a new
generation of people that will pick up on
what we were doing, and that theyll like
it, Mr. Snyder said.

Harry Copenhaver,
come on down!
C
laremonter Harry Copenhaver
and his wife Lisa picked up their
brand-new Prius Model C on
Wednesday at Claremont Toyota.
Mr. Copenhaver won the car Sunday during the an-
nual Claremont Educational Foundation (CEF) Prius
Raffle when the dealerships fleet director Bruce
Wright drew his name.
Mr. Copenhaver said he sold a number of the raffle
tickets to help his 14-year-old daughter Danyele and
the class of 2020 boosters. As a thank-you, CEF gave
him a couple of tickets and he bought a couple as well.
Mr. Copenhaver was at a Yoga retreat over the
weekend and was out of cell phone reception, so he
did not find out about the win until he turned on his
phone Sunday evening to find numerous missed calls
and texts from his family.
The car will replace the 2005 Toyota Corolla his
wife Lisa currently drives. The couple plans to take
the car on its maiden voyage to Laughlin this week-
end, although Ms. Copenhaver will be behind the
wheel and Mr. Copenhaver says hell stick with his COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff

980 streetlights that are owned by Southern California
Edison and entering into an agreement with Tanko
Lighting, Inc. to complete the conversion.
The total cost of the project would be around $855,000
total, including $345,000 for the street light purchase and
$465,000 for retrofitting and turn-key management by
Tanko, plus a $45,000 contingency to cover any extra
costs during the process, according to the city.
That price may seem steep, but Mr. Veirs noted the
city would be saving around $1,637,000 over the next
15 years in electricity bills. The new bulbs would also
cut energy use in the city by roughly 60 percent, which
would save around 390,000 kilowatt-hours and would
allow the city to meet its sustainability target of 20 per-
cent energy reduction.
In addition, the city will pay for the cost through
Tankos Municipal Lease Financing Loan, which the
city states will have a nine-year term with a 3.2 percent
interest rate. The city will pay about $90,000 annually
toward the loan, but they note the savings generated
through the streetlight conversion will offset the cost.
Streetlights are considered utility assets beholden to
PUC regulations, so they must be sold, Mr. Veirs said.
It just cant be given away, he added.
The total number of streetlights in the city owned by
Edison is 1,280. The 300 lights that were not sellable,
according to Mr. Veirs, were attached to existing power
lines and poles and not standalone streetlights.
Mr. Veirs and Tanko representative Alex Wurzel told
the council that Edison could be convinced to convert
the unsellable streetlights themselves. This prompted
Councilmember Opanyi Nasiali to ask why the city
couldnt just use that method to convert all the Edison-
owned lights in the city without having to buy them.
Why couldnt we just deal with them on making the
changes without buying the poles? he asked.
Mr. Veirs and Mr. Wurzel noted that the tariffs set on
each street light would be lower if they city bought it
$12 a month per light to $4 a month per lightand the
savings over time would be much larger for the city.
In his remarks, Mr. Nasiali took the PUC to task over
the quality of the streetlights being purchased. He noted
that some of the lamps have been around since 1959,
and a number of them are depreciated to the point that
they have daily problems.
So when I see that we are going to pay $345,000
for this, it makes me ache with pain, Mr. Nasiali said,
although, in the end, he approved the street light pur-
chases.
Mr. Pedroza agreed with Mr. Nasialis sentiment, but
noted that Claremont is playing the game for an op-
portunity to convert the streetlights to local assets, meet
sustainability goals and save money.
The payback says it all for this decision on my part,
he said.
The motion passed unanimously. The next city coun-
cil meeting will take place on May 9.

TENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding
on this property lien, you should understand that there
are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You
will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.
Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not au-
tomatically 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 re-
sponsible 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 exis-
tence, 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 PROP-
ERTY 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 postpone-
ments be made available to you and to the public, as a
courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to

The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed
or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the

the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be

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. If the Trustee is unable to con-
vey title for any reason, the successful bidders sole and exclusive
remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the
successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary
of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned
a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned
caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the
county where the real property is located. NOTICE OF
TRUSTEE'S SALE NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If
you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should under-
stand 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 high-
est 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 high-
est 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 ex-
istence, 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 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 informa-
tion 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 applica-
ble, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you

THORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE: All right, title,
and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter
described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described
as: More fully described in said Deed of Trust. Street Address or
other common designation of real property: 708 - 710 Spence Street,
Los Angeles, CA 90023 A.P.N.: 5188-006-002 The undersigned
Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street ad-

will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied,
regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining
principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust. The to-
tal amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the prop-

at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is:
$ 627,630.38. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any rea-

the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bid-

of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written re-
quest to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a No-
tice 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 un-
derstand 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 pay-
ing 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 post-
poned 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/De-
faultManagement/TrusteeServices.aspx using the file number assigned
to this case 2014-02036-CA. Information about postponements that
are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the sched-
uled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone infor-
mation or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify post-
ponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Western Pro-
