Unreasonable search
Dear Editor: Last Wednesday, the COURIER provided us an overview of the citys recentlyinstalled automatic license plate reader cameras. [Hi-tech cameras keep watchful eye on Claremont, November 21.] Our city councils decision to install these cameras raises serious civil liberties issues. In order to clarify what may be muddy waters, it usually helps to put the issue into a broader context. What is clear is that the lure of a new technology, which offers the possibility to catch more lawbreakers, will, to some people, always be very powerful. Nevertheless, we must not let our emotions cause us to acquiesce to governmental intrusions. Our Constitution was written to establish what powers the government has, as well as those it does not have. Self-government obligates every individual citizen (including those acting within a governmental body) to always be policing themselves to safeguard our constitutionally-protected rights, and not just waiting for a court to tell us what is constitutional or not. The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution states: The right of the people to be secure in their persons...against unreasonable searches...shall not be violated... Now, while we may debate whether the license plate reader cameras violate the letter of the Fourth Amendment, I thinkcertainly, I hopethat most of us can agree that they violate the spirit of the Fourth Amendment. The cameras constitute an unreasonable search of our persons. In this post-9/11 world, with its newfound rationalizations for security systems of all imaginable sorts, we must constantly remind ourselves that security must be directed to impair the criminallyintended, and not to harass and intrude upon the honest and law-abiding. Clearly, this camera technology is not aimed solely at those legitimately suspected of having committed (or intending to commit) a crime, situations for which the courts routinely issue search warrants and approve wire taps. Rather, it employs a shotgun approach against each and every one of us by recording our presence every time we pass through a particular public location. Incidentally, a similar mindset infests the TSA, who indiscriminately scrutinize everyone at the airport rather than restricting themselves to searching for terrorists. Not lost on the observant in all of this is the cognitive dissonance, the schizophrenia, of Californians, who like the cameras because they will help us capture and remove criminals, and yet just voted (Prop 36) to weaken our 3 strikes law so that more felons can avoid more prison time. So, which is it? Shall we lock up the criminals, or not? I suggest we do the responsible thing. Lock up the criminals when we catch them, not go out of our way to let them out early to prey upon us, again. And do not violate the rights of the law-abiding with ubiquitous surveillance cameras.

The real turkeys

Production
Ad Design/Classified Pages Jenelle Rensch Page Layout Kathryn Dunn

Dear Editor: The Claremont COURIER recently published an article touting Golden State Waters contribution of 100 turkeys to needy families in our community for Thanksgiv-

ing (on the front page, no less). Isnt it obvious that GSWs excessive water rates are a huge factor in putting families in the financial situation they're in? Its great that GSW delivers turkeys, but we arent fooled or swayed by their donation. Instead, we continue to ask GSW, Why do they make it harder on families in our community through their abusive billing practices and excessive water rate increases? Why, instead of having lower water bills when weve conserved water, are we actually charged more, with WRAM surcharges? The real turkeys continue to be GSW executives who receive such large salaries, and then increase our water rates to cover their costs. Last year the GSW CEO received more than $1.6 million in compensation, a cost that is passed onto water users. Ratepayers in Claremont pay far more for water service than neighboring cities. As a private water company, GSW is permitted to seek a rate increase every 3 years, and they do. GSW is asking for yet another increase of over 24 percent. So while we might be thankful for the turkeys from GSW this week, we are more thankful that our city council is united at 50, and continues to move forward with plans to gain independence from GSW (a forprofit company). Its time to run the real turkeys out of town. Hal Hargrave Randy Scott Claremonters Against Outrageous Water Rates

Claremont follows national trend with busy shopping season

is the season for small business, or so it would seem for the mom-and-pop shops of the Claremont Village as holiday shopping kicked off in full force last weekend.
Throngs of holiday shoppers bustled with shopping bags in tow, proving the crowds dont just take to the malls for the busiest shopping time of the year. Its a happy sign of the times and a hopeful start to the season, says Jeena Sousa, manager at Raku, a boutique shop off Yale Avenue. People like to have a choice instead of just running to their local Target or Walmart, Ms. Sousa said. They want to do something that feels positive instead of the typical Black Friday shopping. Ms. Sousa credits part of the boom to the successful marketing of Small Business Saturday, a Black Fridayesque promotion now in its third year. Started by American Express in 2010, Small Business Saturday began as a way to get shoppers to ditch the big box and e-commerce stores in favor of holiday shopping at local brick and mortar businesses. The promotion caught on, drawing attention with the use of social media and incentives bestowed upon momand-pop customers. An estimated $103 million was spent as part of last years Small Business Saturday as shoppers ditched the typical day-afterThanksgiving mad dash for local options. While a total has yet to be reported for 2012, a reported 500,000 businesses nationwide participated in this years campaign. While in years past Ms. Sousa says her eclectic, small-town boutique store has seen a surge in customers during the busy holiday season, this years sales have reached a new level. Though she has not yet received a total on last weekends numbers, Ms. Sousa feels optimistic about the outcome based on the foot traffic and the sheer knowledge that people seem to now have about the small business campaign. This year, we had people coming in on Friday and 3 different people called to ask about our Small Business Saturday promotions, Ms.

Golden State Water begins $2 million infrastructure improvement

Golden State Water Company has begun a $2 million infrastructure improvement project in Claremont. The company will drill and equip a new well at its Indian Hill plant. Construction should be complete and the well operational early next year. The new well is needed to replace an older well that has been de-activated, said Golden State District Manager Ben Lewis. Because the project involves 24-hour activity, sound walls have been installed around the perimeter of the construction to reduce noise. Drilling is scheduled to begin this week and, depending on soil conditions, should last one week. Other activities may also involve 24-hour construction including the installation of well casing, pouring gravel and making a grout seal and will occur for up to 5 weeks. All construction will take place inside Golden States Indian Hill Plant site. Impact on traffic will be minimal, according to the city managers report, however residents may see additional truck traffic as crews deliver equipment and supplies. The Claremont Planning Commission approved the new well and the temporary noise variance for 24-hour construction activities on November 16, 2010. In October, the company sent a letter to customers near the plant to share details of the project. People with questions are encouraged to call Golden State Water Companys 24-hour customer service hotline at (800) 999-4033. Information about infrastructure improvements is also available at www.gswater.com. Customers can visit the website to subscribe to a free electronic newsletter and to receive ongoing updates about water service.

Claremont COURIER/Wednesday, November 28, 2012

here were smiles and tears last Wednesday as dozens of volunteers gathered at St. Ambrose Episcopal Church in Claremont to prepare for the 19th annual Thanksgiving Day Meal.
The smiles shone on the faces of participants who knew their work would result in 3000 turkey lunches for people who couldnt afford a hot meal, or who would otherwise be spending Thanksgiving alone. The tears stemmed from the 200 pounds of onions being steadily chopped by volunteer sous chefs, to be tossed into enough stuffing to fill 30 catering trays. In the 5 years that Temple Beth Israel congregant Don Bloch has been coming to St. Ambrose to help out with the holiday meal, he has seen the number of guests grow exponentially. There are more people because of the way the economy is, he noted while expertly wielding a turkeycarving knife. Mr. Blochs teenaged son, Josh, was busy in the St. Ambrose kitchen, helping cook celery and onions for the stuffing. Being part of the massive volunteer event was good practice for the Life Scout, who will soon have to coordinate a service project of his own in order to earn his Eagle Scout badge. Helping the less fortunate is really good for the community, he said. The Thanksgiving meal put together each year at St. Ambrose features turkey with all the trimmings: mashed potatoes and gravy, vegetables, bread and, of course, a slice of pie. Plate by plate, the feast involves 200 turkeys, 4 cases of celery and 400 pounds of instant potato flakes, among other ingredients. The latter fall under the purview of longtime volunteer John Johnson, who is affectionately known as The Potato King because he oversees mashed potato preparation. With the help of some 20 volunteers, he boils the potato flakes and then stirs in milk and liquid butter. I actually think theyre better than mashed potatoes made from fresh potatoes, he said. With meals served at 4 locations in Pomona as well as at St. Ambrose, the holiday effort requires significant coordination. Food and helping hands are provided by community members as well as representatives from an array of local churches and organizations: St. Ambrose, Life Bible Fellowship, Claremont Presbyterian Church, Temple Beth Israel, the city of Claremont, The Gap Food Bank, Kiwanis Club of Claremont and Claremont Sunrise Rotary. Several local businesses also donated food this Thanksgiving, including Vons in Upland, Curves of La Verne and Costco of Montclair. While it takes a village, as the saying goes, there is one woman ultimately responsible for the annual culinary commemoration. Twenty years ago, Kim McCurdy cooked a big Thanksgiving dinner for her family and found herself faced with considerable leftovers. She packed the uneaten Thanksgiving food in a box and took it to the Pomona Library to share with local homeless people. Ms. McCurdy, who serves as kitchen manager and hunger ministry coordinator for St. Ambrose, found the impromptu mission deeply satisfying. She spoke to Father Doug Edwards, asking if the church could raise some money for the following Thanksgiving, with the aim of feeding not only the homeless but also senior citizens and college students with no place to go for the holiday. He said, We have something going on. We have to keep doing it, Ms. McCurdy recalled. By 1996, the event had grown to the point where it was feeding 300 people. It also grew in its organizational capacity, with Ms. McCurdy being joined in her efforts by her catering partner, Gayle Jensen. By Thanksgiving of 1999, roughly 1200 people were partaking in the hot turkey meal.

Church helps those who need a warm holiday boost

Kim McCurdy and Andrew Pelizarrars share a moment while taking a break from work on the Thanksgiving feast last Wednesday in Claremont. Mr. Pelizarrars is one of the many people Ms. McCurdy has helped over the years with her community outreach.

Ms. Jensen and Ms. McCurdy, who was a chef with Cal Poly Pomonas Hotel and Restaurant Management program before retiring, need every ounce of their catering experience for the gargantuan Thanksgiving meal. This year, they oversaw 300 volunteers, coordinated donations from numerous organizations and community members, and started buying supplies 2 weeks in advance. We go everywhere, Ms. Jensen said of their marketing excursions. Those who eat at St. Ambrose always get a little something extra in the form of a piano performance by Tim Rotolo, a member of Life Bible Fellowship in Upland.

aul Buch, cantor at Temple Beth Israel in Pomona, is a very satisfied Amazon customer.

He regularly visits the online retailer to buy digital books, which he downloads onto his Kindle tablet. Recent purchases are evidence of his eclectic interests. Not surprisingly for a cantorwhose job is to oversee the musical aspects of temple services, along with working with young people preparing for their Bar and Bat Mitzvah ceremoniesMr. Buch loves music. He is humble about his own abilities, which include playing what he characterizes as only passable guitar. The keyboard set up in his office, however, along with numerous CDs and a poster of his favorite blues guitarist, attest to his general fandom. Mr. Buch enjoys reading the stories behind the creation of groundbreaking albums, the most recent of which is Ken Caillats Making Rumours: The Inside Story of the Classic Fleetwood Mac Album. It is a record Mr. Buch is particularly fond of, because he listened to it almost nonstop when it was released in 1977. He was living in New York at the time, working as a photographer, mainly doing catalogue work. Rumours provided a soundtrack to his efforts, and to the time period in general. Another recent download is in the area of spirituality rather than pop culture. He is in the midst of reading M.D. Eben Alexander IIIs Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeons Journey into the Afterlife. In his book, released this year, Mr. Alexander shares an account of his encounter with the afterlife. At age 54, he became desperately ill with bacterial meningitis. After slipping into a coma, Mr. Alexander says he visited heaven. Its the near-death experience observed by someone who has a very long and deep experience in the workings of the mind, Mr. Buch noted. While he still has two-thirds of the book to go, Mr. Buch said he finds the storys emphasisthat all humans share a common source that goes beyond what were able to describe in religious termsfascinating. Mr. Buch recently downloaded another book dealing with an otherwordly experience, a science-fiction novel by Mary Doria Russell called Sparrow. In Sparrow, a group of people travel to a newlydiscovered planet called Rakhat to rendezvous with aliens with whom they have just made contact. Only one crewmember, a Jesuit priest, returns. The book deals with how he shares what he found during his mission, and how it affects humanity. Mr. Buch enjoys speculative fiction from time to time because he often ponders celestial what-ifs. I believe within a relatively short period of time, perhaps within my childrens lifetime rather than mine, we will have direct contact withor concrete evidence ofhumanoid life in other worlds, he said. He often ponders how people will reconcile their spirituality given such an experience. Thats one of the reasons Im so involved with interfaith work, he said. My sense is that as we evolve, humans will come to understand how individual religions or spiritual paths are, at their core, a fundamental attempt to establish a universal community. Mr. Buch also took a moment to discuss the reading that comes with his personal spiritual path. Members of the Jewish community are expected to read a section of the Torah, a holy book consisting of the first 5 books of the Jewish Bible, each week. After a year reading thusly, a person will have completed the Torah. They then are expected to start all over again. I find it utterly fascinating that for at least 2300 years, we have been learning from and reading from and living our lives from a singular text that has remained almost unchanged, Mr. Buch said. Through the lens of the Torah, we can come to un-

derstand our own humanity, which seems to have been relatively unchanged as well. The Torah should be read actively, Mr. Buch asserts, with readers making sure the text comes to meet them rather than the other way around. The cyclical nature of the yearly Torah readingswhich ensures that a person reads the same section of the book as they turn 20, 30 and 40helps the book remain vital. What I find is that its never like reading the same text twice. Every year, every time I come back to it, it has new meaning and new relevance. Its wearing new clothes, he said. Mr. Buch doesnt read novels as often as hed like to, but when he does, he has a predilection for Latin American magical realism. He was first turned onto the genre when he sat on a plane next to a woman who had served as translator for Manuel Puigs The Buenos Aires Affair.

Since then, Mr. Buch has devoured the works of authors like Jorge Luis Borges, Gabriel Garca Mrquez and Cristina Garca. I find the characters and descriptive language and exoticsm of them to be really satisfying reading, he said. Reading is, indeed, satisfying to Mr. Buch, who regularly pores over the Los Angeles Times, the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, the COURIER and the New York Times as well as the Huffington Post and the Israeli newspapers Haaretz and the Jerusalem Post. He never ceases to be amazed at the accessibility of the digital age, which can bring him any title he hears about within 2 days if not instantly. Weve got everything ever written by man accessible and at our fingertips, he said. And Im always looking for something.

Feasting on community
by John Pixley

ridges Auditorium was sold out. At least that was what the sign said. I did manage to get in, and I saw empty seats, but I felt lucky.
It may not have been packed; nevertheless, Big Bridges was pretty full, and thats saying something. It takes a lot of people to fill this grand, cavernous theater. Seating 2500 people, it is long-known as the biggest collegiate auditorium on the west coast. Most of the people in this huge audience on a Friday evening earlier this month were college students, and they werent there to catch a hot comedian or hear a big-name band. They were there to see, and to cheer on, their fellow students. No, this of course wasnt a football game, but it was something close. Sort of. This was Friday Night Lights, but with singing and no points. It was SCAMFestthe Southern California A Capella Music Festivalfeaturing about a dozen student a capella groups, with 8 or so from the Claremont Colleges and 4 from UCLA and USC, presented by the Claremont Shades, another student group. With names like Kosher Chords, After School Specials and Ninth Street Hooligans, these groups have put considerable thought into choreography and dress (the After School Specials go with green and black and baseball caps labeled ASS, while the Ninth Street Hooligans are known for their outrageous array of one-of-a-kind pants). The groups are big-time serious about their singing and clever, intricate vocalizations (no Glee rock band in the wings here). Some of the groups featured have CDs out, and a few have been on national TV. This isnt the first time I attended this annual event. I have written about it beforealthough I didnt realize it has been going on for 17 yearsand I always leave thinking Wow! and Who knew? I was impressed again this time by how good these kids are, by how professional they are, by the time and energy they put in on top of their school work. But what also struck me once again was that this was a room, a huge room, full of pride, full of support, full of, yes, love. Cheering was encouraged, and there was a lot of hollering and whistling and a lot of Go Nate! and Yay Amanda! It really was like a Friday night foot-

ball game in town, with everyone turning out to support the team. And it was definitely more than letting off end-of-the-week steam. This was community here in this great hall. Each group on stage was a community, an oh-so tight-knit community, to be sure. But it was also clear that the kids streamingand streaminginto the theater, with their backpacks and skateboards, their hoodies and iPhones, were a community. And, in their generous sharing and enthusiastic presence, there was no question that these communities, even the ones from out of town, were one big community. Big Bridges may not have been packed, but it was brimming over with presence, with support, with community, that evening. Which was what I also saw that morning at the Pilgrim Place Festival. As I passed through, stopping by my favorite booths and glad that the scheduled rain had come a day early, I couldnt help but notice that many of the people helping out were people I knew, both from Pilgrim Place and from the wider Claremont community. This popular annual event, which I have also written about many times before, raises funds to be used for residents of the community for retired church workers who need help. It is truly a community effortan example of communityin which people help each other and themselves. And it is obviously quite successful. Not only were there the usual big crowds and cars parked for blocks around, I heard that just the ceramics booth, one of my stops, made $2000 on the first day alone. In this season of giving thanks and counting our blessings, when we reap what we have sown and rejoice in what this year has brought and what the coming year may bring, we have much to be grateful for in these rich instances of community here. They make Claremont a very filling place. Here are a few more servings of community in

Claremont found in these pages not too long ago: On November 16, the Claremont Educational Foundation kicked off its 2012-13 enrichment campaign with a Stars in Education evening reception. The CEF raises funds for arts and music programs in Claremont elementary schools and for technology for students at El Roble Intermediate School and Claremont High School. CEF raised $210,000 last year, which it presented to the school board in October. The theater at Claremont High School is getting an extensive overhaul, thanks to millions of dollars being raised, and is set to open as the Don F. Freuchte Theatre for Performing Arts in the spring. Not only that, but people are now donating $350 for the purchase and dedication of a cushioned, flip-up seat installed in the theater. The Save Mrs. Bobo campaign (www.ruthm bobo.com) continues. This is an effort, started by CHS class of 1992 alumni Arin Allen and with signs all over town, to raise money so that Ruth Bobo, a beloved retired CHS English teacher (Ill never forget her, with her Southern drawl, teaching Moody Blues songs as literature), can live at home for at least the next 5 years with the 24-hour care that she needs. On top of a $1500 contribution last month, the Rotary Club of Claremont gave the Claremont AfterSchool Programs $2000. El Roble students ran laps throughout the day on November 7, raising funds pledged by families and friends to benefit the schools fitness lab and purchase PE equipment. I saw another and especially nifty example of community in Claremont at another concert this month, this one at Bridges Hall of Music (or Little Bridges) by Third Coast Percussion. During the evening, one of the players explained that the ensemble had been in residence at Pomona College for the week, working with the music students and faculty there and also going to the high school to give a lecture/demonstration to the band and orchestra students. Talk about peoplein this case, town and gowncoming together! In Claremont, the table, as they say, groans.

We had a black Friday. All of Harolds teams lost.

Turkey Trot thanks

Dear Editor: On behalf of the Claremont Sunrise Rotary, I want to thank the entire Claremont community for making our 5th annual Turkey Trot another huge success. With nearly 1700 participants and picture-perfect weather, it was a great start to the Thanksgiving weekend. We couldnt have done it without the help of nearly 100 volunteers and Rotarians and their family members. It was great to see members of many of the different teams and players that our Claremont Youth Sports Scholarships (CYSS) support help make our day safe and successful. When we started this Turkey Trot, we were in the midst of a financial meltdown. Claremont Sunrise Rotary members went out to the community and still found willing sponsors to support our cause. Many of those sponsors have continued to support us and new ones have joined us to increase our budget over previous years. Every dollar raised goes directly to support many projects and programs that Claremont Sunrise Rotary and Rotary International support. We will spend around $20,000 this year on the CYSS fund that started with this run 5 years ago. Since its inception, we have granted over 700 scholarships to local teams and athletes to pay for registration fees. We are fast approaching nearly $75,000 of total funding, including this years run. But Claremont Sunrise Rotary is also part of a world community. We provide books to a girls school in Tanzania, remove land mines in Cambodia and install water tanks in Africa. And Rotary International is fast closing in on com-

While she didnt speak a word of English when she arrived, Mrs. Patterson learned quickly, settling in to life in St. Louis where she spent her formative years. On her own, she moved to southern California in 1945 and began working in the unemployment office in Pomona. It was there she met Thomas Patterson, a returning WWII sailor looking for work.

home for the anniversary museum. The building did not stay on the southeast corner of College Way and Fourth Street, nor did its original purpose ever fully come to be. The building was taken over by KSPC, Pomona Colleges student-run radio station, in the late 1950s. About a decade later, the little house was uprooted and moved to Amherst and Fourth, where KSPC continued to operate in Replica House. In the 1970s, KSPC moved into its current studio located in the Thatcher Music Building, but continued to use the little house for storage. Though used for storage, and seemingly neglected in years following, the house received some upgrades in the early 2000s, earning Pomona College

an award from the city in 2003 for excellent in design. As part of the Claremont Architectural Commissions annual Excellence in Design Awards, Pomona College was recognized for achieving its goal to highlight and enhance a once overlooked area of the Pomona campus. Unfortunately, further plans to enhance the campus did not include the replica. In 2011, the college announced its plan to build a new $10 million studio art center in the place where the Replica House satit was apparent to Pomona College administrators that the building needed to be sold and moved once more. Administrators sought to find a spot in the Claremont Village, but lack of space to house the building and code requirements proved to be a difficulty, according to Mr. Robinson.

Certain code requirements made it hard to use the building in a modern sense, he explained. After much searching and help from the city and Claremont Heritage, Pomona College sold the building to

Mr. Mills. After 2 years of plans, the house has finally made its way home to its new owner. The roof of the building was removed as the house was lifted from its foundation and carried with a truck down Mills. Though the Replica House is no longer a fixture amid the buildings of Pomona, Mr. Robinson maintains that selling the building will allow the colleges history to live on while the campus grows and changes. The fact that we are able to preserve that history and still move the college forward in a different way is a win-win situation, Mr. Robinson said. It would have been terrible to tear it down. So glad we were able to find it a home.

laremont football experienced another frustrating year in the Sierra League, dropping the final 3 contests and finishing 3-7 on the season. One highlight, however, was a shellacking of Damien. Juniors Craig Myers, Cecil Fleming and Baron Franklin will continue into 2013 as senior offensive stalwarts, while Paul Manus and Josh Ferrer will return as defensive anchors for the Wolfpack. GIRLS TENNIS The undefeated girls tennis team won 3 playoff games, but ultimately lost in the semifinals to San Marino. Claremont conquered all 10 opponents in the regular season. Cindy Liu, Toby Miclat and Drew Spinosa had breakout years in the singles department, and top doubles team Sophie El-Kara and Sharon Stanislaus justified their selection with aplomb. The Pack have a number of returners and will surely challenge for the CIF title next season. CROSS COUNTRY Cross Country proved a bright spot for Claremont, with both the girls and boys finishing with at least a share of the Sierra League title. Both teams also produced qualifiers for CIF Division 2 Finals. Kiana Cavanaugh, Reily McLachlan and Annie Gushue will battle to defend the girls championship next season. Top runners returning in 2013 for the boys include Adam Johnson and Sergio Espinoza. GIRLS GOLF Claremonts girls golf team finished the season 53, and had 4 players selected to all-league teams. Kennedy Bingham, Ellen Blaine, Ashley Gomez and Aisling Walsh paved the way this season. The Wolfpack will challenge for the Sierra League title

With an overall record of 17-10, Claremont lost in a wild-card playoff to Redlands East Valley in straight sets. Captain Janie Feldsher and libero Gina Valvo return next year, while sophomores Hailey Hargrave and Tyler Romero will continue to provide punch for the 2013 team. BOYS WATER POLO Boys water polo concluded a memorable year with a first-round loss to Laguna Beach, after securing a berth with a dramatic overtime victory over Thousand Oaks. Claremont finished 2nd in the Sierra League, with a solid 16-7 overall record. The Wolfpack will return star goalkeeper Steven Cagle, as well as juniors Brian Fox and Thomas Randles.

CHS baseball standout will head east after 2013 season

ast week, Jeremy Giles pledged his college future to Stony Brook University in Long Island, New York. The standout Claremont High baseball player will be finishing his senior year this coming spring, and will play for the Division 1 Seawolves in the fall.

Giles waltzed on to the varsity Wolfpack baseball team his junior year and soon cemented his role as their sure-footed second baseman. Giles was quick to praise his teammates and Claremonts unexpected finish last year. We were really close as a team; we had each others backs. This team has a lot of talent and chemistry, which is why we were able to win a playoff game last season for the first time in a while. Against Damien, Giles produced his best performance of the season. Claremont trailed by one run, and desperately needed to string a couple hits together to keep playoff hopes alive. In the 6th inning, Giles blasted a homerun with a runner on second to

give the Wolfpack a dramatic victory. Stony Brook presents as a fantastic option for Giles. The baseball team won the America East Conference and advanced to the NCAA College World Series last year. Veteran Seawolves coach Matt Senk persuaded Giles to come to the school when he

called him in August and invited Giles to campus for a visit. Giles will not even need to change colors as the Seawolves wear scarlet and gray, similar to the Wolfpack. Giles was also impressed with SBUs academic programs, and he will study business and marketing during his college career.

Giles will enjoy his final season in high school this March, as the Wolfpack attempt to best last years playoff run.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee`s Sale is estimated to be $607,755.04 (Estimated), provided, however, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary`s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier`s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee`s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder`s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Priority Posting and Publishing at 714-573-1965 for information regarding the Trustee's Sale or visit the Internet Web site address on the previous page for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08002459-10-2.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. Notice is hereby given that RECONTRUST COMPANY, N.A., as duly appointed trustee pursuant to the Deed of Trust executed by REBECCA B GRAVETT, AND ALBERT KENT GRAVETT, HUSBAND AND WIFE, dated 03/27/2007 and recorded 5/14/2007, as Instrument No. 20071155338, in Book , Page , of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of Los Angeles County, State of California, will sell on 12/21/2012 at 11:00AM, By the fountain located at 400 Civic Center Plaza, Pomona, CA 91766 at public auction, to the highest bidder for cash or check as described below, payable in full at time of sale, all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust, in the property situated in said County and State and as more fully described in the above referenced Deed of Trust. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 925 DEEP SPRINGS DR, CLAREMONT, CA, 917111402. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. The total amount of the unpaid balance with interest thereon of the obligation secured by the property to be sold plus reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $943,325.14. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept cashier's checks drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state. Said sale will be made, in an ''AS IS'' condition, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust, advances thereunder, with interest as provided, and the unpaid principal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as provided in said Note, plus fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. If required by the provisions of section 2923.5 of the California Civil Code, the declaration from the mortgagee, beneficiary or authorized agent is attached to the Notice of Trustee's Sale duly recorded with the appropriate County Recorder's Office. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on a property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 1-800-281-8219 or visit this Internet Web site www.recontrustco.com, using the file number assigned to this case TS No. 12-0013662.
