Tom Lamb
Dear Editor: In last Saturdays paper, there was an advertisement seeking applicants to fill a vacancy on the Planning Commission. I think it is important to note the sad reason we have a vacancy: the passing of my fellow commissioner Tom Lamb. Tom and I came to the Planning Commission at the same time. We came from very different places when we joined the commission. He brought a lifetime of experience in planning issues I brought the hope I could eventually learn what all this planning lingo meant. Over the years we served together, I learned much from Tom, not just the lingo, but how effective city planning should proceed. Tom could be blunt and politically incorrect. I occasionally cringed at the way in which he phrased a question during a public hearing, but I also knew that Toms question was important. Tom would bore through the staff reports and the applicants presentation and raise insightful questions. He refused to accept thats just the way weve always done it for an answer. The process and the commissions decision was always better for it. Tom will leave a void on our commission. We will miss his commitment, insight and humor. Claremont was lucky to have him as a public servant and I was fortunate to have him as a fellow commissioner. He will be missed.
Jeff Hammill Chairman, City of Claremont Planning Commission

CITY NEWS
City makes it official, names Colin Tudor assistant city manager
any search across continents to find professional prosperity. Lucky for Colin Tudor, Claremonts new assistant city manager, success was within his own backyard.
The lifelong Claremont resident and CHS alum has earned his position as Claremonts assistant city manager after serving the CITY city in an interim capacity for the past STAFF 6 months. Mr. Tudor took over as interim assistant city manager after Tony Ramos was promoted to city manager last December. I am really thankful for the opportunity to serve the city I have grown up in, Mr. Tudor said. It really makes the job a lot easier when you have that kind of a bond with the community, to put in the hours for an organization and a community that I care so much about. The assistant city manager began his rise through the ranks as a Claremont High School student looking for a part-time job. I needed to find a way to pay for car insurance, said Mr. Tudor, who took a position with the citys day care program. He would continue to work in the citys recreation division in a variety of roles. I got to spend time outside taking kids on field trips. It was a lot of fun. After graduation from The Claremont Colleges, Mr. Tudor came back to help with the citys Fourth of July celebration and never left. He stayed on fulltime with the citys human services department, transferring to the city managers office in 2006. Though seemingly different, the job change was a natural transition for Mr. Tudor. The key to being successful is knowing the community. The time I spent in recreation and the people I got to know gave me a chance to understand the different city projects and their history, he said. The background in recreation proved to be very beneficial.
The experience was more beneficial than he imagined. That community expertise served as a catalyst for him as he was promoted to assistant to the city manager 2 years later. Since that time, Mr. Tudors accomplishments have included representing the city on the Gold Line Technical Advisory Committee and serving as Recovery Act Funding coordinator. He also spearheaded the citys involvement in the 2011 AMGEN bicycle tour, for which he was recognized with the Chairmans Award at the Claremont Chamber of Commerce awards ceremony, as well as the City Managers Award. He is a hardworking kind of guy, said Mayor Pro Tem Opanyi Nasiali, noting his city-wide involvement. Mr. Tudors knowledge of the city will continue to play an integral role in his new position. Having worked on the citys 2-year budget plan for the last 3 cycles, Mr. Tudor is a key resource for Claremont, Mr. Ramos reported in a January edition of the COURIER.
He has a great depth of experience, Mr. Ramos said. He knows our community and understands the issues we are going through. Mr. Tudor looks forward to further broadening his hometown knowledge in his newest capacity. It has given me a better understanding of how much the city is involved with and the number of projects we have going at any given time, he said of his journey over the past 6 months. I am now in a place where I get to be a little more involved in those projects and it is giving me an even greater appreciation for those projects and the services we are providing. The sheer variety, he says, keeps his job interesting. There tends to be something different to do everyday. I am in the same place, but doing so many different things, Mr. Tudor said. To be able to grow like that has been a wonderful opportunity.

Dial-a-Ride community meetings set for July

Over the past 3 years, the Claremont Dial-a-Ride cab service has experienced increases in ridership and in the cost to provide the service. Although the citys revenues have increased in terms of fares and regional funding, revenue increases have been insufficient to offset the growth in total costs to operate the service. With the current structure, the city would only be able to maintain the program for 2.5 years. The city council recently referred the matter to the Community and Human Services Commission to analyze potential changes to the service to bring the program in line with available funding. The commission appointed an ad hoc committee to review the transportation program and formulate recommendations. Part of the review process is to hold community meetings to solicit public input. The public is encouraged to attend a meeting and take part in the review process. The following meetings have been scheduled: Thursday, July 19 at 7 p.m., special Community and Human Services Commission meeting in the City Council Chamber Monday, July 23 at 9 a.m. at the Joslyn Center Written comments will be accepted for those who are unable to attend a meeting. By mail to: Dial-aRide Ad Hoc Committee, 1616 Monte Vista Ave., Claremont, CA 91711; or by email to: csneed@ci.claremont.ca.us.
City gets state money for pedestrian-friendly upgrades
laremont will begin a series of pedestrianfriendly street improvements thanks to the acquisition of half-a-million dollars in state subsidies.
Claremont is one of 139 cities across the state to receive sought-after funding CYCLING from the statewide Safe Routes to School (SR2S) program. The state-legislated service, a part of the California Department of Transportation, provides financial support to cities and counties with capital projects geared at improving safety. Being selected in such a competitive programClaremont being one of 336 applicantswas a pleasant surprise for City Engineer Craig Bradshaw and those involved with Claremonts Safe Routes to School initiative. We are happy to have been included as a part of the project, Mr. Bradshaw said. Its very competitive. Claremont and other city recipients will receive a piece of the California programs $48.5 million to provide necessary improvements for pedestrian safety and to reduce injuries and fatali-
ties. An estimated $472 million has been given out by Safe Routes to School programs across the country; over $7 million will benefit critical safety projects in rural counties with $28 million used to create jobs and benefit at least one low-income school within each project. Safety is Caltrans number-one priority, Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty said in a statement. We are committed to providing the highest safety possible for our children as they travel to and from school in California. Claremont was awarded $450,000, which will be used for infrastructure improvements around local parks and schools, according to Mr. Bradshaw. Sidewalk additions and improvements will be added to the north side of Memorial, Griffith and Wheeler parks. The grant will also be used to make improvements to the signal at Arrow Highway and Cambridge Avenue. A left-hand turn signal and updated crosswalks are among additions. Claremonts Safe Routes to School program was implemented in spring 2011 shortly after a motorist on Mountain Avenue struck an El Roble Intermediate School student riding his bicycle. Since then, hundreds of thousands of

dollars in grant money has been used to educate and train students traveling to school on foot or on bikes. Mr. Bradshaw and the Claremont Safe Routes to School team are eager to make use of the latest round of funding after the hard work required to acquire the necessary subsidies. It just means we are able to provide
better access and safety improvements the city normally wouldnt be able to fund, he said. That is the bottom line. For more on Claremonts Safe Routes to School program, visit www.claremontsaferoutes.org.

COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff Hai Muradian of The Ravelers belts out a tune while performing at the summers first Concert in the Park Monday night. The band will be celebrating their 25-year anniversary with a concert at Candlelight Pavilion in November.
Concert series officially kicks off Claremonts summer

laremont residents would argue that summer hasnt officially begun until the masses emerge for the sweet sound of live music ricocheting off the Memorial Park band shell. One look at the lawns of Memorial Park Monday night gave weight to that argument. The crowds packed into the park to welcome back Claremonts annual Concert in the Park series, a free public event. The summers first heat wave was no deterrent as residents showed up in droves to enjoy rock-n-roll provided by The Ravelers, a returning local favorite. As the 90-degree weather cooled, concertgoers gathered among the parks towering elms for an evening of dancing, food and good old-fashioned community fanfare. Its what every small town should do to mark the start of summer, said Delacy Ganley, enjoying a pre-concert picnic with her family. It allows you to interact with your neighbors in a different context outside of work and your usual surroundings. The community spirit was evident in the shared picnic dinners and impromptu summer reunions for Claremont students joining up with their school friends during the summer recess. Its the perfect place to meet up and just relax, said Liz Lopez, a junior at Claremont High School. We have been doing this ever since we were little. The city and local Kiwanis Club have partnered up to put on the concert series for as long as most can remember, creating a staple written into the minds, if not the history books of the Claremont community. The popularity is undeniable; the city boasts that each concert draws thousands of people. Memorial Park became a sea of picnic blankets and lawn chairs, brimming to the edges with eager musiclovers. The evening air was filled with the scent of buttered popcorn, hot dogs and hamburgers, of which the Kiwanis Club estimates selling about 300 each night. It really is the best, said Melissa Vollaro, community and human services manager, of Claremonts concert series. It really speaks to the Claremont community and creates lasting memories. Though it is arguably one of Claremonts largest recreational draws, it is also one of the easiest to organize, according to Ms. Vollaro, partially because of its popularity. Kiwanis President K.M. Williamson agrees, adding that
Sal Garzino and Margie Nadelle are among the first to venture onto the dance floor Monday night at Memorial Park.
bands call months in advance to procure a spot in the lineup. Its because of the crowd, said Ms. Williamson, admitting that she first joined the Kiwanis club because of the concert series. Its just the best, hands down. In addition to the tunes and the treats is the dancing. So many people get up and dance. You see 5-yearolds dancing to the Stones, Ms. Williamson laughed. Its just great. Though a few fan favoriteslike classic rock groups The Ravelers and The Answerreturn year to year, many of the selections vary to keep the longstanding series fresh. The genres are as mixed as the expanse of picnic blankets, from soul and jazz to Beach Boys throwbacks. This years lineup includes Upstream (July 16), reggae; The Silvera-
dos (July 23), country; Hodads (July 30), surf; Kulayd (August 6), doo-wop/Motown; Neon Nation (August 13), '80s; Stone Soul (August 20), '60s/'70s; Night Blooming Jazzmen (August 27); Dixieland jazz; The Answer (September 3), classic rock. Bands will play every Monday from 7:30 to 9 p.m. The public is invited to come down as early as 6 p.m. to enjoy dinner from the Kiwanis and claim a spot on the lawn. Concertgoers are encouraged to bring blankets, picnics and low chairs. However, dogs, alcoholic beverages and smoking are not permitted.

TV station names CUSD board member Local Hero
teven Llanusa finds it ironic he would be called a hero for doing what most people aspire to do: creating a family with the person he loves.
Nonetheless, the Claremont Unified School District board member was happy to accept the accolade when KCET awarded him the title of Local Hero this June in honor of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month. The award was presented in a ceremony held Wednesday, June 27 at the City Club in Los Angeles. I really think the KCET award, though in my name, truly recognizes my family, Mr. LLanusa, a longtime teacher, said. The KCET honor is given to exemplary community leaders who strive to enrich the lives of others. It is a description embodied by Mr. Llanusa, who has lived very openly in Claremont since 1995 with his husband Glenn Miya, a physician specializing in internal medicine and pediatrics. Now in his second term on the CUSD board, Mr. Llanusathe technology coordinator at a science/magnet school in San Bernardino Countyhas given his time to a wide variety of organizations. He has served on the UCLA alumni board, is president of the Claraboya Homeowners Association, and is active with local arts groups like the Inland Valley Repertory Theater. He helped found the Pop Luck Club, an organization supporting gay fathers, and is working with the Human Rights Campaign on Welcoming Schools to create a workshop aimed at reducing the bullying of LGBT students. Activism and service are what Mr. Llanusa is all about, his husband noted. Steven is a humanitarian. There arent many of those around, Dr. Miya said. He has an intense inborn sense of fairness and integrity, and hes extremely energetic and interested in all aspects of his life. The term husband is being used as opposed to the more usual phrase for same-sex unions, partner, because Mr. Llanusa and Dr. Miya were married during the 3-month window where gay marriage was legal in California. On August 8, 2008, Butch Henderson, a now-retired pastor at United Church of Christ, officiated over a backyard wedding attended by friends and family. Mementos from the ceremony like cake-topping figurines (both grooms) and 2 crystal goblets decorated with satin tuxedos hold an honored place on a shelf in their living room. The couple, who has been together for 26 years, says they never thought they would have the opportunity to wed. Three months after they tied the knot, Proposition 8 put an end to gay marriage in the state. Couples married during the period where same-sex unions were legal were allowed to keep their married status.
COURIER photos/Steven Felschundneff CUSD school board member Steven Llanusa with his husband Glenn Miya, at far right, pose with their sons Eric, left, Aaron, seated, and Alex in the foyer of their north Claremont home. Mr. Llanusa was recently honored by the public television station KCET with a LGBT Pride Month Local Hero award.
Steven Llanusa talks about his experience raising 3 adopted boys with his husband Glenn Miya. Mr. Llanusa has been awarded an LGBT Pride Month Local Hero award for his role as a pioneering gay parent and for his civic involvement including serving on the CUSD Board of Education.
Mr. Llanusa disagrees with the amendment. In our lifetime, it was illegal for people of different races to get married in some states, he said. Marriage evolves, just as society does. Much of his advocacy for gay marriage is done simply by staying in the public eye as an openly gay community member with a family. Mr. Llanusa and Dr. Miya live in a mid-century style home with 3 adoptive sonstwins Alex and Aaron, 21, and Eric, 19, all Claremont High School graduates. Two Weimaraner dogs named Cyril and Stritch also have the run of the house. They needed a home and we needed a family, Mr. Llanusa said of his boys. It worked out very well. Having a family has made Mr. Llanusa a more sympathetic teacher and
Dr. Miya a more sympathetic pediatrician, they say. When youre a gay parent, you dont take anything for granted, Dr. Miya shared. This is a choice. This is not an accident. In 1999, they made their guardianship permanent, becoming one of the first couples in the state to fulfill a samesex joint adoption. My parents were role models to us ever since we got adopted. We learned from them, their son Alex said. Their accomplishments for earning the award are very meaningful. From the start, the couple has sought to ingrain the importance of community activism in their sons. Aaron has volunteered at Ability First, Alex has volunteered at Pilgrim Place and Eric has given his time to the Key Club. All 3 are active with the local Red Cross.
I have been volunteering since Ive lived in Claremont, Eric said. I like it. I meet a lot of people, and it gives me something to do. Sometimes being in the public eye and working with decision-makers fosters criticism. Mr. Llanua has made some independent decisions, casting the sole dissenting vote on the board with regards to several hot-button issues. These include his lack of support of the Measure CL school bond; his effort to retain former Sumner Principal Frank DEmilio in the face of dismissal from the district (Mr. DEmilio has since been reinstated); and his lone nay vote on Interim Superintendent Gloria Johnstons contract. His reputation as a questioner is well-deserved, Mr. Llanusa said. As a school board member, due diligence is expected of me. I make sure I understand issues before I vote on them. I always vote my conscience. Its certainly easier to go along to get along, but Im not known for doing things in an easy way. He is, however, known as a trailblazer, questioner and family man. And thanks to KCET, Mr. Llanusa is now known as a hero. He says he will continue to engage in the myriad activities that brought him to the notice of the community television station. And if the Beatles got by with a little help from their friends, Mr. Llanusa will continue to get by with the help of the 4 people he loves most. A lot of these things Im able to do because of my family. Theyre supportive of what I do, either directly or by taking care of the house while Im doing other things.

Green with envy

by Debbie Carini
was on the Internet the other day, scrolling through my Facebook page when I came upon a friends photo of homegrown vegetablescucumbers, peppers and tomatoesthat was almost Rubenesque in its ripeness and plumpness (if the reader will pardon my possible misuse of 16th century terminology describing fleshy and voluptuous women by applying it to summer crops).
I immediately fell into a state of produce envy. Why, I wondered, was my harvest not as lush? Maybe I shouldnt have used the seed packages with the expired dates (my family often reminds me that I have an unhealthy flirtation with pushing-theenvelope on expiration dates, often asking one of them, does this smell? as I push a week-past-due jar of mayo or carton of milk in their direction). After viewing my friends photo, I went out in my yard and stood over my vegetable patch with hands-on-hips. Cmon, lets go, I scolded my droopy cukes and tomatoesthe Black from Tulas, Brandywine pinks and Jersey Devils (reserving a
little Soprano-style scorn for these last ones, Fuhgettaboutit and grow already!) And thats when I started thinking about envy and how I seem to suffer from the sixth of the Seven Deadly sins in many peculiar situations. For instance, at the grocery store, I often experience line-envy. I always seem to start putting my canned goods and 20-lb. box of cat litter on the conveyer belt just as another line opens and I cant get it all back in the cart and make it over to lane 3 in time to be the next customer served. Or, the person in front of me in lane 5 cant find their store discount card or remember the phone number they used when they signed up for it, so now the manager has to come over and maybe the customer will have to fill out a new form that looks like it might hold enough information to get a mortgage with the eggs and detergent. Hair-envy is another egregious grudge because I
have never, ever had a hairdo like the one in the magazinethe one you bring to your hairdresser and then she looks at you with a pitiful expression as she tries every which way to explain that maybe, perhaps, even if your hair looked like the picture in the magazine, the rest of your face and body would also need to come-up to super-model standards (and shes a hairdresser after all, not a plastic surgeon). The worst spitefulness Ive practiced is mothering-envy. This first happened to me at a Mommy and Me exercise class where I was supposed to be working off the baby weight as my little bundle-ofjoy lay on an exercise mat next to me. But as I was lunging and jumping-jacking to pre-pregnancy weight (whichfull disclosureI never achieved, ever again), I couldnt help noticing that some of the other babies were lifting their heads or making hand-to-foot contact, while my sweet darling (who did have a lot more hair then some of these other super infants) just laid there and smiled at me. Ive suffered mom-envy at events as diverse as swimming lessons to the school talent show. A lot of times, the grass has looked greener on the other side, but I guess I have to admit, with a yard full of vegetables (however misshapen and imperfect) I dont envy anyone that! Ens.

Religion at community events

Dear Editor: So, there I was on a Sunday evening, sitting at the Claremont Depot, enjoyingalong with several hundred other peoplethe concert by the Pomona First Baptist Church; while silently thanking the citys Community and Human Services Commission for approving the event request. I recall thinking at the time, maybe theres more right with the world than I realized. Sadly, though, that reassuring sensation was not to last, because...then I picked up the Saturday, July 7 COURIER, only to be very unpleasantly reminded of what is not so right with the worldin this case, the intolerance and bigotry of some people from the radically secular Left toward any expression of religion. First out of the gate was Jerry Feingold, who declared, I felt offended for anyone in attendance who didn't agree with the views being thrown to us... Now, exactly why he takes it upon himself to be offended for other people is not quite clear. Nevertheless, if one is voluntarily attending a free event that one finds offensive, then, as a matter of common sense, there has always been a very simple solution: get up and leave. Next up was city commissioner Maury Feingold, who said, It puts the [Community and Human Services] commission in a bad light, and I dont think we deserve that. Actually, Ms. Feingold, youll be glad to hear that it puts the commission in a very good light, whenever the commission recognizes that all citizens have a right to express themselves in the public square. For context, you may want to recall
READERS COMMENTS
the recent months-long encampment on our city hall steps by the occupy protestersalthough, I dont recollect that they sought the commissions approval for their...er...event. Finally, George Roleder treated us to excerpts from a screed prepared by an organization calling itself Americans United for Separation of Church and State. (As an aside, and for the sake of truth-in-advertising, this group really should change its name to Intolerant Americans for the Persecution of Christianity.) Without exception, every one of the proffered points regarding separation of church and state evinced an astonishing ignorance of our own American history.

Honoring graduates
Dear Editor: Karen Nutt is right when she asks that we honor all graduates and their future plans. My son graduated from Damien in 2010. As each graduate accepted his diploma his future plans were announced. The loudest applause was for the young men who were going to the armed services. The crowd roared for them. Those young people, men or women, who are willing to stand up for us should be honored. Their responsibilities will be far greater than what the average college student will face. My son went to UCLA. Recently he told me that when he meets veterans who have returned from service and are now in school he is blown away by them, by their maturity, their focus and their abilities. He acknowledges that he does not think that he could have done what they did. But they are now doing what he did. This country will have a stronger economy and a more stable workforce when we acknowledge that many jobs require training that is not found in a college classroom. The appropriate trade school can be an outstanding choice for a student who wants to have a marketable skill. I know this from experience. I work as an administrative law judge for the California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board. In my work I have learned about hundreds of jobs that I did not even know existed. Workers who have learned a trade often fair better in the job market than someone with a college degree. Many ultimately own their own businesses. When reviewing the wage history for a claimant in one of the trades I often want to say, You make how much? Doing that? Thats more than we make as judges. Education is essential for job security and income advancement. But we need to stop defining education as college. Going into the military, law enforcement or to a trade school provides a person with a different kind of education. We have all kinds of people in this country. We need to use everyones abilities in the best possible way, for the individual and for the community. We need to accept that all work contributes to the whole of who we are and recognize the honorable choices our students have made. These students deserve to be acknowledged at graduation and in the COURIER. Nora Quinn

Easiest vote reply

Dear Editor: After reading the letter from Pam Stevenson, titled Easiest Vote and taking into account the vast range of failures and radical policies of this present administration, its hard to believe anybody would want 4 more years of it. Monumental hypocrisy, disastrous debt, historic continuous joblessness, unbelievable class warfare and envy that have divided this country yet are inexplicably spun into virtues by the writer....thus her implied choice for Obama. Amazing, absolutely amazing. One paragraph states Obama wants all to pay their fair share, meaning taxes, and eliminate tax loopholes that gives corporations, billions of dollars in avoided taxes. Isnt Obamas closest
ally in the corporate world Jeffery Imelt, CEO of General Electric, whom he was so smitten with that he named him head of the Jobs Council, whose company pays no taxes and recently off shored an entire Xray Division overseas...bye, bye jobs. And Obama is her choice? Wow! Then the paragraph about teachers and firefighters....and how she writes, Romney wants to eliminate them. What? If the writer had her facts straight, she would have said that Public Unions representing them have broken the financial backs of cities and town all over the country. Its the gouging these unions represent to public treasuries, he wants to eliminate, like Gov. Scott Walker did in Wisconsin, not the teachers and firefighters twisted and spun words to arrive at Obama as a choice? Nah! Doesnt work for me. The other candidate, Ms. Stevenson writes, wants to eliminate the EPA, rules for financial institutions, and put restrictions on energy sources. She means the EPA, that put a moratorium on the Gulf Oil drilling for more than 6 months after the spill was contained and only lifted it after successive court orders to do, losing hundreds of thousands of jobs in the meantime or who would not support the Keystone Pipeline, throwing countless more jobs away. That EPA? Or the Dodd/Frank banking regulations that are crippling the recovery by preventing what banks do best, invest. Gee, we need more of this, right, Ms. Stevenson? How can we forget that Obama wants growth and innovation and at the same time make rules of the road that protect Americans from corruption and greed (and favoritism). Breathlessly she has conveniently forgotten Solyndra, which, at the onset of their complete financial collapse on 1/2 billion government backed loans, allowed the corrupt realignment of private investors (and Obama financial bundlers) in that company be paid off first over taxpayers....ummm, we really need more of this, too. I agree, the choice is easy, if you have your facts straight!

Local Little Leaguers power their way to district championship
ts a 3peat for the Claremont Little League Junior All Star Team, which clinched the District 20 Championship for the third year in a row on Saturday, July 7.
The 13- and 14-year-olds faced off against the San Dimas All Stars at Griffith Park in Claremont, in a match-up that proved to be surprisingly tight. The competition began on Friday, July 6 when the
boys played 5 innings before the game was called due to darkness. The teams reconvened the next day for 2 more innings, with San Dimas beating Claremont 16-15. The athletes barely had time to catch their breath. Thirty minutes later, the teamswho were tied in district standingsplayed one another again in the championship game. The Claremont All Stars got off to a roaring start, scoring 21 runs in the first inning. The locals won the game 28-8, once again securing champ status. They will begin sectional play on Saturday, July 14. Our team didnt really think it was going to be that much of a challenge in the beginning, said 13-yearold Ryan Swift. But when they came back on Saturday, they had a great desire to playthey really

After that, our coaches got us pumped up and we were ready to go, he said. After the victory, which Ryan said was awesome for us, the team convened to the home of one of the All Stars, Travis Moffatt, for a well-earned party. Ryans mother Kimberly Swift, who serves as the Claremont Little League Junior All Stars team mom, said Little League has been a wonderful experience for her son. She praised the dedication of coaches like Joe Robles and team manager John Vance. Two of the coaches dont even have kids on the team, and they still come out, spending hour after hour preparing the boys, mentally and physically, for what theyre about to face, she said.

They teach them how to play with honor, respect and dignity, not just on the ball field but in life, too. Ms. Swift said the boys are hoping theyll have a strong showing in sectionals. Theyre a good group of kids who want to make their city proud, she said.

he summer lounge scene at Hotel Casa 425 just got hotter.
Casa 425 serves up some tasty summer sensations
The hotel recently launched their new summer food and drink menu featuring local goods from the Claremont Farmers Market. Lounge mixologist, Will Van Leuven, has concocted 3 new summer cocktails for the drink menu: Kentucky Rose includes rosemary and orange-infused Jim Beam bourbon, lemon juice and simple syrup shaken with brown sugar, basil leaves and housemade citrus bitters. The robust cocktail is similar in taste to a mojito or a mint julep. La Coquette is a lavender Smirnoff cocktail with Domaine de Canton ginger liqueur and lemon juice shaken with a sugar cube and house-made lemon bitters. Berry Spicy Margarita is a drink for the adventurous. It includes a jalapeocucumber infused El Jimador Blanco tequila, muddled berries, agave nectar, lime juice and house-made jalapeo bitters shaken and served over ice. One lounge patron commented that the drink reminds him of Mexican candy he enjoyed as a child. The new summer menu includes Cajun calamari, pulled pork sliders,

Berry Spice Margarita is one of the new beverages offered in the Hotel Casa 425 lounge in Claremont this summer. The drink features ingredients bought at the Claremont Farmers Market. Other new menu items include Cajun calamari, pulled pork sliders, Champagne Chevre salad and LaFrieda croissant.
Champagne Chevre salad and LaFrieda croissant: a juicy, rare-cooked 8 oz. chuck and short rib patty with jalapeo bacon, tomato jam and marbled blue cheese on a warm croissant bun. This is not your typical bar food and lives up to the expectations of a Claremont foodie. The gourmet food and atmosphere lends a certain sophistication to the dining experience and one may
feel the need to eat their burger with a knife and fork. Yet the atmosphere is relaxed enough to feel incredibly comfortable amid the posh setting. Along with the new cocktails and menu items, guests will be entertained with live jazz and flamenco music in the courtyard. Catch the performances July 14 and 28 and on August 11 and 25. Hotel Casa 425 + Lounge is located at 425 W. First St., Claremont. Happy hour is 4 to 7 p.m. daily, with select small plates and drinks ranging from $5 to $10.

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 714-573-1965 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site www.priorityposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 20090161900045. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
