Dear Editor: Within the past 4 years I have presented the Delta Kappa Gamma Citizenship Award to 4 different graduating seniors from San Antonio High School. Each has told me that experiences at that school have helped to change his/her life in a positive way. All have had nothing but praise for Steven Boyd, the principal. Other students I have questioned on campus have expressed similar feelings and there is a friendly feeling on campus. For this reason I have been concerned since reading your article stating that the board of education has released Mr. Boyd from his position, suggesting that his work has not been satisfactory. I have had much experience working with young people who have been failing at school, and I believe that Mr. Boyd has been running this continuation high school in a manner that should be implimented throughout the United States, if not the world.

Conserving water comes at a price

Dear Editor: As a customer of Golden State Water and a lifelong resident of Claremont, I am compelled to share my concern over a recent opinion piece by Peter Weinberger. Mr. Weinberger suggested that Claremont residents could lower their water bills by merely using less water. On the surface, such a statement seems reason-

able; however, what I have experienced is that Golden State tacks a surcharge on my bill if I dont use enough water or, in other words, if I conserve. Something Mr. Weinberger failed to mention. Conserving water has and will continue to be a priority for my family. We understand that water, especially in southern California, is a precious resource and needs to be used responsibly. However, Golden State chooses to use water conservation as a mechanism to generate revenue. After all, given that they are a publically-traded company, isnt their obligation to make a profit? Unlike the city of La Verne, Golden State chooses to penalize their customers when we dont use enough water. Thats right. Conserve water in Claremont and you will be paying a penalty. If you look at your bill (for those of us that have drought-tolerant landscaping) you will see an extra line item charging you for your water conservation. Because publically-traded water companies in California, like Golden State, are legally entitled to make a profit off their water customers, Golden State tacks on what is known as a WRAM or water rate adjustment mechanism to the bills of their customers who dont used enough water, guaranteeing them a profit. While I encourage my neighbors and friends in Claremont to conserve water, I must also caution them that, in Claremont, conservation comes at a price. I appreciate the Claremont City Councils efforts to potentially form a munici-

Claremont couples, clergy weigh in on recent Prop 8, DOMA rulings
ight is a lucky number for Claremonters Steven Llanusa and Glenn Miya this summer.
On June 26, the Supreme Court struck down Proposition 8a 2008 amendment to the California Constitution stating, only marriage PROP 8 between a man and a woman is DOMA valid or recognized in California as well as a key portion of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). And on August 8, Mr. Llanusa, a member of the Claremont school board, and Mr. Miya, a local pediatrician, will celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary. They were married during the nearly 5-month window that same-sex marriages were performed in California, between June 16 and November 5, 2008, after the California Supreme Court ruled that barring samesex couples from marriage violated the states constitution and before the passage of Proposition 8. They are celebrating the recent ruling on more than an ideological level. While Proposition 8 kept other gay couples in the state from obtaining the married status they enjoyed, DOMA made their union ring hollow on the federal level. Enacted in 1996, the law enables states to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages granted under the laws of other states. Section 3 of the act, which has now been ruled unconstitutional, also barred same-sex married couples from receiving federal marriage benefits. For instance, Mr. Llanusa and Mr. Miya could COURIERphoto/Steven Felschundneff file jointly for their California income tax prior to the Claremont residents Scott Bohlender and David Cisneros were married in 2008 during the initial period when gay marriage was legal in California.

City moves to restrict residential parking near Wilderness Park
laremont council members and commissioners are keeping busy with the August break fast approaching. As park usage continues to peak, city officials are making plans to fix parking problems and overcrowding at the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park sooner rather than later.
At a special meeting of the Claremont Traffic and Transportation Commission Monday, commissioners recommended that the city add permit-only parking to several streets located next to the busy wilderness park. If the council agrees with the recommendation, permit parking will be enforced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, on Pomello Drive as well as Dillard Avenue, St. Gregory Street, Pennsylvania Place, Brigham Young Drive, Independence Drive and Mills Avenue, from Pomello to Alamosa. The Claremont City Council will give its final say on the parking permits at its Tuesday, July 23 meeting, according to Loretta Mustafa, acting city engineer. Since the opening of the parks expanded north parking lot, and enforcement of the lots now metered parking, many locals have vocalized concern that eager wilderness park hikers are finding loopholes to avoid paying. In recent months, several residents living near the park, particularly those on Pomello and Mills, have shared with the Claremont City Council that Pomello Drive, just south of Mt. Baldy Road and the southernmost lot, have become alternative parking destinations. Claremont administrators are not strangers to the redistribution of parking. According to a recently conducted city survey, even with the 174 parking spots available at the north and south lots, an estimated 100 cars will be found parked on adjacent streets during the parks peak hours, which are typically on weekend mornings, according to the report. While commissioners could have chosen to recommend permit parking on the given streets from 4 a.m. to 6 p.m., it was decided that 24 hour enforcement would provide residents with the relief they desire.
COURIER photo/Collette Weinberger City officials are attempting to fix the parking problems at the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park due to the overcrowding of streets such as Pomello Drive, which has become an alternative parking destination in order to avoid metered parking.
Officials predict further parking restrictions will be needed as hikers continue to find loopholes in the wilderness park parking situation. The city will continue to solicit feedback and monitor streets near the wilderness park until a long-term solution can be found, Ms. Mustafa acknowledged. This is the best option at this time, Ms. Mustafa said. The city will be moving forward with the wilderness park management plan and more long-term solutions, but we feel this is the most appropriate solution for the issues residents are currently dealing with. Though the parking permits are a temporary fix, the Claremont City Council Tuesday unanimously approved a master plan to address overarching goals at
the park, such as correcting parking problems. The scope of the proposed master plan would include a study of the parks existing parking facilities plus entertain the idea of adding additional designated parking areas. The plan will not be limited to parking, however. City staff suggested the plan include a list of park inventoryrestrooms, trash receptacles, etc. as well as a list of park access points, such as the terminus on Pomello and Mountain Avenue. The hired master plan consultant will be asked to look for possible expansions to the wilderness trails and determine what different ways those trails are being usedfor hiking, biking and so forth. The consultant will also be asked to analyze the wilderness park hours, another area of contention for wilderness park users, though Mayor Opanyi Nasiali was hesitant to include park hours in the master plan. We are repeating what we already finished, said Mr. Nasiali, also skeptical of the idea of exploring fullmoon hikes at the park, which would be in violation of the already agreed-upon park hours. While overall pleased with the master plans scope of work, several residents offered further suggestions. Ludd Trozpek recommended the plan include analysis of the management and enforcement of the park, something he pointed out has been historically lacking. Charlie Gale advocated that the city consult with a trained professional, like a biologist, to take a look at the way usage may be affecting the animals, soil and trail erosion. All agreed that a more comprehensive approach is needed. We need to approach this much in the same way we have approached our general plan, said Councilmember Sam Pedroza. With the full knowledge that we need as much participation as we can. It is a long-haul proposal and discussion...but at the end, we will have a document that looks at everything holistically in a way that helps us be better prepared for the long term. Kathleen Trepa, director of community and human services, expects to have the Request for Proposal released later this month with hopes of hiring a consultant by the fall, at which time the council will evaluate

No remaining Claremont ties for rapist to be released
ensions ran high this week amid inaccurate television news reports that indicated a former Claremont resident, who has admittedly raped more than 40 women in California, was set to be released from prison.
It has been proposed that, after nearly 30 years in prison and state mental hospitals, Christopher Evans Hubbart, 62, known as the pillowcase rapist, be freed in Los Angeles County in November under the condition he be heavily supervised. Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Gilbert T. Brown made the decision in May after Mr. Hubbart passed a psychological examination, despite previously failed attempts. Based on results from his most recent exam and at the recommendation of the Coalinga State Hospital, Judge Brown determined Mr. Hubbart would not be a danger to others due to his diagnosed mental disorder while under supervision [of a parole office] and treatment in the community. Mr. Hubbartwho has been described by a state official as uncontrollably compulsivewas first arrested in 1972 in connection with a series of rapes in Los Angeles and San Bernardino County. A year later, he was sentenced to 7 years at Atascadero State Hospital, a facility for mentally disordered sex offenders. In 1982, not long after his release, Mr. Hubbart returned to confinement once again after being convicted of rape with force,
oral copulation with force and 5 counts of burglary. He was given a 16-year sentence, which was cut in half due to good behavior. But this wasnt the end of his troubles. Mr. Hubbart returned to Vacaville in 1990, roughly 2 weeks after his parole, when he was arrested for false imprisonment. He was again released for a short period in 1993 and returned to his parents home in Claremont for about 6 weeks, until his parole was revoked after he failed a routine psychological exam. A year later, in March of 1994, Mr. Hubbart suffered the same fate after failing a psychological exam administered just 8 hours after he was released from prison. Mr. Hubbarts parole officers noted that he reported feeling that he was losing control of himself. Protesters crowded in front of city hall and, the following day, in front of the home of Mr. Hubbarts parents to call for a ban on his release to Claremont from a Chino prison, according to a March 1994 Claremont COURIER article. He has remained in prison since 1994, repeatedly failing psychological examinations. But after completing another treatment program last year, Mr. Hubbart asked to be released. Mr. Hubbarts last known address is his parents former Base Line Road home. However, he no longer has ties to the city of Claremonthis parents are deceased and the familys home has been sold. Residents still remain concerned, and took to social media sites Wednesday, July 10 to express dismay at his possible release. County prosecutors and local legislators are joining the rally to keep Mr. Hubbart behind bars. Los Angeles
prosecutors have filed an injunction to keep Mr. Hubbart from being released in Los Angeles County, instead proposing he be freed in Santa Clara. In a recent statement, Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich added his support to the District Attorneys filing. Based on his criminal history, the states planned release of this predator into our communities will create a very serious public safety threat, Mr. Antonovich said. Obviously, the prison sentence for this criminal failed to match his crimesa predator of this nature deserves life without parole. Police Chief Paul Cooper said that although the department had not recieved formal word from the State regarding Mr. Hubbarts possible release, they are aware of the situation. Further, Chief Cooper explained that he, City Manager Tony Ramos, City Attorney Sonia Carvalho and Mayor Opanyi Nasiali have discussed the matter at length and will be forwarding a letter to the court opposing Mr. Hubbarts release to Claremont. The city is preparedat the appropriate time in the processto fully participate and go to court, if necessary, to protect the citys interests and oppose Hubbarts release if Claremont were selected by the court, Chief Cooper said in a release. In the meantime, the city of Claremont will be keeping an eye on Mr. Hubbarts whereabouts. We are aware of it, our chief of police is aware of it. We are keeping an eye on the situation, Mr. Ramos said.

Commission to review condo complex proposal Tuesday
the potential costs of the master plan. It is unknown how much this endeavor will cost and a funding source has not been accounted for. **** In addition to approving the Wilderness Park master plan, the city council adopted the citys latest sustainability report card. The annual report was initiated 4 years ago as a means of noting progress in meeting the goals outlined in the Sustainable City Plan. Goals include reducing water and electricity consumption, promoting biking and other means of fossil fuel-reduced transportation, and educating the public on how to live in a more environmentally sound manner. More on the report card and changes to the Sustainable City Plan will be included in an upcoming edition of the COURIER.
n Tuesday, July 16, the Claremont Planning Commission will review a proposed condominium complex set to fill a vacant lot at Vista Drive and Indian Hill Boulevard. The open meeting takes place at 7 p.m. in the City Council Chamber, 225 W. Second St. Private developer Olson Urban Housing, LLC is taking the lead in developing the project, which is composed of 21 detached condominium homes spanning the 1.75 acre lot. All condos will be sold at market rate except for 3, to be offered as moderate-income housing, according to the report. An initial planning commission overview, held a year ago, was met with protest by residents of the neighborhood adjacent to the vacant lot, many of whom were unhappy with the complexs layout and design, among other features. Olson officials worked to dispel those concerns by
holding a community meeting and modifying their plans to include their neighbors suggestions. Taking into consideration worries that proposed zoning changes would allow overdevelopment of the small lot, the number of units within the complex were reduced from the originally proposed 26 homes to 21, within the lots current zoning. Addressing further concern over residents safety and overall design, units will now have attached garages. Those along Vista Drive will face north with front doors facing the street, and a wall will be set back along Indian Hill Drive with an entrance. The planning commission will review the project before the Claremont City Council gives final approval. The architectural commission will also be consulted. More information on this development in future editions of the COURIER.
Wednesday, July 3 Police are looking for a crook with a mathematical inclination. Sometime between June 27 and July 3, a total of 45 calculators were stolen from a secured building at the Claremont Colleges. There are zero leads. Thursday, July 4 Longtime Village eatery Pizza N Such was targeted in a suspected burglary last week, just before the citys Fourth of July celebration. Between July 3 at 10 p.m. and 11 a.m. the following day, an unknown person gained access to the restaurants rooftop and shattered a locked window that provided access to Pizza N Such as well as several other businesses within the same building. Though the window was broken, it appears the suspect did not enter the build-

ing, according to police. There is no property loss reported at this time. Any information on this incident should be reported to the Claremont Police Department at 399-5411. Friday, July 5 Work at Flappers Comedy Club, located within the Packing House, began on a less than humorous note Friday evening. A club employee arrived to work around 5:45 p.m. to find the companys cash drawer had been broken into and the thief had gotten away undetected. No cash was stolen, but the credit card machine was reported missing, according to Lieutenant Mike Ciszek. **** Joe Abilez, 25, of Tulare landed himself behind bars, all because of a midnight snack, Friday morning. According
to reports, Mr. Abilez began arguing with the cashier at AM/PM, 701 E. Foothill Blvd., over the price of nacho cheese. The extra couple dollars for extra cheese would likely have been preferred over the fines he will now be subject to pay. Police arrived on the scene and determined Mr. Abilez was wanted for an outstanding $30,000 warrant for driving under the influence. It was additionally found that nachos werent the only thing Mr. Abilez was indulging in that night. Police said he was drunk at the time of the incident. He left his nachos behind as he accompanied police to the city jail. Sunday, July 7 A bicyclist may have temporarily pedaled himself to freedom, successfully losing police in a pursuit on Sunday afternoon after running a red light at Foothill and Towne. But police may have the last laugh. Not only did he leave behind his bicycle but a witenss was able
to identify him, according to Lt. Ciszek. Police are following leads. Monday, July 8 A Claremont resident is spending some idle time behind bars after staying fairly busy putting someones credit line to good use. Jeffrey Corning, 34, was arrested for making out a fraudulent check of nearly $1000 and making several fraudulent credit card purchases after a Vegas hotel accidentally sent a previous guests wallet to the wrong address. The investigation continues. Tuesday, July 9 A fraudulent bill does not buy flowers, Marya Garcia, 23, of Hemet, found out on Tuesday, after attempting to make a purchase at Wisteria Grove. As she found out, her fake $100 was only worth time in jail.
The family that shares everything

by Debbie Carini
he thing about having a birth date that coincides with, or falls near a holiday is that the 2 are often combined into one celebration. My dad frequently experiences this phenomenon with a December 26 birthday, and he prefers to have his birthday gifts wrapped in anything but red or green paper.
My birthday falls in the middle of June, frequently coinciding with Fathers Day, and my cake typically reads, Happy Birthday Debbie and Happy Fathers Day Dad and Grandpa. Let me just say, right up front, that Im not in the least bit complaining about any sort of injustice; quite the opposite in factI find it amazing at my advanced age that a group of people will still gather to sing and celebrate in a way that is reminiscent of my childhood parties in the park. And the best part is there are still presents! This year, as we were celebrating Fathers Day/Mom Birthday, my children presented my husband and me with a classic combo gift, which also managed to incorporate another phenomenonthe gift that also benefits the giver (or in this case, the givers). We were all going to a concert!
I looked at the printed receipt to see if I recognized any names, like Tom Jones or Bette Midler, but they werent on it. Instead, I was going to The Greek Theater in Los Angeles to see Barenaked Ladies, Guster and Ben Folds Five. Huh? And would the first group be clothed? At least, I thought, I can redeem myself with this trip to The Greek, the site of one of the most memorable concerts I dont remember seeingBlondie thanks to an ill-advised encounter with a large, jug-shaped bottle of something sweet and alcoholic. (Kids, dont try this at home, or anywhere else for that matter, seriously). On August 15, 1979, at perhaps the height of her popularity, Blondie was playing The Greek. Hurriedly, in the parking lot, some of my friends (not the ones who were driving) and I swilled some awful double letter libation (Ripple comes to mind) and
headed into the concert.A British band name Rockpile (huh?) opened the show and then, Blondie was on stage.I remember roll me in designer sheets...some lyrics from her hit, Call Meand thats about it for the evening. I think my friends carried me back to the parking lot because I also have a vague recollection of treetops and a starry sky passing by. Fast forward (thats what it feels like to me) 34 years and Im at The Greek again. The Barenaked Ladies group did not perform in the nude, and hey, I actually knew one of their compositions, the theme song to the television show, The Big Bang Theory! In fact, I even heard one young fan behind me disparage the group with the comment, they look like a bunch of dads! As I glanced around, I noticed that there were also a bunch of dads in the audience. Did you get us tickets in the senior citizen section? I gibed my daughter. But I was happy that our children didnt seem to be embarrassed to be with us. The combo gift, much like the combo meal at a fast food restaurant has something, and sometimes too much, for everyone. But I always enjoy it!

Local control of water allows accountability

Dear Editor: Regarding the editorial by Peter Weinberger, Secret to reducing Claremont water bills: use less, I believe a reply from a resident is necessary. This editorial mentions how facts and figures often become blurred when used to support opinions. Looking at the big picture of this issue, I believe it is simply a matter of common sense. Local control allows accountability, and the elimination of Claremont residents funding GSW profits. Mr. Weinbergers argument that many people are not concerned about conserving water and can afford to pay their bill, whatever the rate, is suspect. I recommend Mr. Weinberger get out into the community and see how many residents are relandscaping in an effort to relieve the pressure of the never-ending rate increases. I am not surprised that 38 percent of Claremont residents are in Tier 3. GSW is a corporation, and the sole purpose of a corporation is to maximize profits for its shareholders. The water rate concerns of Claremont residents fall secondary to maximizing profits. If you dont believe that, check the history of proposed rate increases. Would Claremonts price problems look different if we, as a city, simply used less water? Youd think they would. While Claremont residents support conservation, GSW has the right to seek rate increases due to a revenue shortfall, the common cause of which is conservation. Thus, using less water can directly result in higher water rates. In reality, higher water rates are a certainty, regardless of one being a super-user or extreme conservationalist. I believe what many Claremont residents seek is local control. Our water rates are controlled by a corporation with shareholders, and a profit
motive. This works well in an open market, but our water company is a monopoly, and Claremont residents cannot seek an alternate provider if we feel our rates are disproportionately high. It is ironic that this editorial appeared on a page opposite an article about Claremont seeking to maintain local control of the Wilderness Park, and an article lamenting the lack of local control for the Measure R transit plan. Published, no less, on the 5th of July, one day after the traditional celebration of our country taking local control from Great Britain.

Same-sex marriage
Dear Editor: A viewpoint article in last Fridays COURIER caught my attention [US Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage, July 5, 2013]. So I read the headline, then skipped to the last couple of paragraphs to check the conclusions. At that point, I assumed the piece had been written by one of our more liberal residents. The shock came when I spotted the name of our mayor, Opanyi Nasiali, in the byline. Allow me to preface this discussion by observing that nowhere in our Constitution is the Supreme Court granted carte blanche authority to organize, or re-organize, our societythat function is outside our rule of law. Rather, the court has anointed itself that role [like Napoleon crowning himself emperor]. And that's a major problem in this country today. More and more we are living under a judicial oligarchy. Far worse than Mr. Nasiali's tyranny of the majority, its a tyranny of a tiny, tiny minority. Mr. Nasiali touches on so many different points it makes a response more challenging, but lets try this:
Proponents of same-sex marriage look to micro society, that is, to the circumstances of specific individuals. Hence, the ubiquitous use of the terms fair, fairness, equal, equality, and so forth. They ask: Is it fair (or equal) that people of the same sex cant marry each other? Ill stipulate right here: No, it isnt fair. But, the question refutes itself. Lets rephrase the question slightly and ask: Is it fair that a person cant marry his or her brother or sister, son or daughter, mother or father, etc., etc.? By the preceding fairness thinking process, those prohibitions arent fair, either. So, should all that be changed, as well? Would removing those prohibitions build a better, healthier society? Of course not. The well-being of society, overall, and the well-being of our children (the next generation)which is, by the way, the original, and still the primary reason for marriageare degraded by the blurring of distinctions between male and female, which is one of the intended goals of same-sex marriage. Proponents of traditional male-female marriage, however, look to macro society, that is, to the circumstances of society overall. In the entire 5000-plus year history of civilizations, not one great religion or society, nor any one great religious or secular thinker, has advocated, promoted, or condoned same-sex marriage. Yet, today, the moral hubris of certain segments of the present generationthe
generation that created the self-esteem movementbelieves itself morally superior to all who preceded it. The invocation of past discrimination of blacks by whites is a fallacious comparison. The only real distinction here is a superficial physical characteristic, the color of the skin. Nothing else. As compared with same-sex couples, where the distinction is not physical, but behavioral. With males and females there are many real distinctions. Being male is not the same as being female. The 2 are not synonymous. Although, certain segments of the present generation are trying to make them synonymous, to the detriment of society. The roles of each sex in the healthy upbringing of children are unique and distinct. The best situation for raising children is living in an intact nuclear family with a married mother and father, that is, with a male parent and a female parent. Therefore, Proposition 8, and Proposition 22 before it, were correct: Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California. And the Supreme Court has no authority to declare otherwise. Douglas Lyon
Claremont
[Editors note: This edition of the COURIER includes a feature story on local same-sex couples who exemplify not only the best situation for raising children, but far exceed what I have personally witnessed in many traditional nuclear families. Our community is blessed to have these families call Claremont home. I thank them for their dedication to our city and for their mindfulness while raising healthy, happy men and and women. KD]

Marking a legacy
by Karen C. Sapio, Pastor, Claremont Presbyterian Church
ast week, I was delighted to receive an invitation to lunch from a woman in my congregation. As we sat down to enjoy our tacos at a shady table outside Petiscos, she told me that her invitation to me was one of the ways she was marking the fifth anniversary of her husbands death. She was setting aside time to connect with those who took part in his memorial service. I said that I thought this was a wonderful way to mark this milestonea lovely gesture.
Another thing she is doing to mark this milestone, however, is much more than a gesture. My friend Elsie Harber is committing herself to work alongside the NAACP and other groups currently organizing to respond to the recent Supreme Court ruling that struck down key elements of the Voting Rights Act.
Forty-nine years ago, her husband was on the front lines of making the Voting Rights Act a reality. In 1964, Jay and Elsie Harber were a young couple living in suburban New Jersey. Jay was in his first call as a Presbyterian minister. Elsie was home with their 2 young children. As news of the civil rights struggle in the South reached their community, Jay volunteered to become part of one of the first delegations of Protestant clergy who travelled to Mississippi. The delegation made this journey to stand with African-Americans who had asked for support in their fight to ensure that all citizens in their state could exercise their right to vote. Jay drove with 3 other pastors from New Jersey to Mississippi, not knowing exactly what the situation would be when they arrived. The atmosphere in Hattiesburg was tense: Jay and his colleagues stayed in the homes of African-American families because civil rights activists were not welcome in local hotels.
Inter-Faithfully SPEAKING
Before many days passed, Jay and others in his group were arrested and sent to appear before a judge. During their court appearance, the black and white members of their group attempted to sit together in the court room. The judge threatened to throw them in jail if they persisted. They stood their ground and, eventually, the judge backed down. Meanwhile, Elsie was at home in New Jersey with their young children. In those pre-cell phone days, there was no way to know what was happening, Elsie explained. I would hear about events in Mississippi on the evening news before I was able to hear from Jay personally. This was all taking place not too long after the church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama. It was scary. One thing that helped was that Jay had the full support of his congregation back home for his work with the voting rights struggle. Later that same year, The Rev. Ken McCandless of Claremont Presbyterian Church made the
journey to Mississippi with another clergy delegation. That congregation was more divided in their opinion about his decision to become involved in the civil rights movement in that way. When the Supreme Court decision striking down Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act was announced last month, Elsie sent several friends and relatives a copy of a picture she has of Jay. In the picture he is wearing his clerical collar. Around his neck is a sign that says: Freedom Day: January 22, 1964 VOTE!!! What would Jay be doing if he were still here and in good health? I asked her. He would be right in the middle of it again, she replied. He would be out there working with churches and community groups and civil rights organizations. He would be calling on all people of faithand all people who love freedom and justiceto work with all their hearts to defend the legacy of those who struggled so hard to make the free exercise of voting rights a reality for everyone; to make sure that their legacy doesnt get crusheddoesnt disappear.

Leonard Cohn
Legendary CHS football coach

Legendary football coach Leonard Cohn died on June 26, 2013 at the age of 93. Coach Cohn inspired hundreds of athletes and students during his 18 years at Claremont High School (CHS) in the 1950s and 1960s. Amassing a formidable football coaching record of 141 wins, 19 losses and one tie, Mr. Cohn led the Claremont Wolfpack to 10 league championships and 2 CIF championships in 1956 and 1958. Len Cohn leaves behind a football legend in Claremont, wrote Fred Claire in the Progress-Bulletin, when Mr. Cohn resigned as head football coach at Claremont High in 1967. Mr. Claire, who later became general manger and executive vice president of The Dodgers, frequently chronicled Mr. Cohns accomplishments in his sports column. When Mr. Cohn started the CHS football program from scratch in 1949, there were a total of 150 students at CHS. Other area high schools had thousands of students from which to draw. With limited personnel and resources, he single-handedly built the program coaching, taping players and issuing and cleaning the equipment. He also served as Director of Athletics at Claremont High School and first president of the Southern California High School Coaches Association, an organization with 1200 coaches. Mr. Cohn was the first inductee into the Claremont High School Hall of Fame. The distinguishing characteristic of Len Cohn, said Dr. Robert Benson, who played on the 1958 championship team, is that he was deeply interested in developing young men as well as football players. Ed Wolfe, who went on to sign with the Pittsburgh Pirates, said, Coach Cohn is a great, great man.He was the father of football at Claremont High School.He was a second father to all of us. Bob Stephenson, who went on to play for University of Oklahoma and was selected outstanding player in the Cotton Bowl, wrote to Coach Cohn, You have done as much for me as my own father.Besides teaching me football, you taught me pride, leadership and desire. Martin Weinberger, former editor of the Claremont COURIER, wrote in 1964 that Coach Cohns halftime orations, especially when Claremont is trailing, have been known to rank among the great motivational talks of all time.Mr. Weinberger characterized Mr. to California and had 5 children. After Mr. Cohn served one year as a high school teacher in San Bernardino, they moved to Claremont, where he became a high school teacher and football and baseball coach. Known to his players as The Fox of the Foothills, Coach Cohn was noted for his college-like football program at Claremont High. Once offered the assistant head coaching job by head Michigan State football coach Duffy Daugherty, Mr. Cohn turned it down. With a wife and 5 children to support, he opted for job security at Claremont High School over the vagaries of college coaching. Former pro football star Billy Kilmer credited Mr. Cohn for setting up his football career. Mr. Cohn recognized his potential when Mr. Kilmers Citrus High squad played against Claremont High in the mid-1950s. When Mr. Cohn later coached a high school all-star team, he installed a single wing offense to showcase Mr. Kilmers talents as a tailback. Mr. Cohn invited UCLA coach Red Sanders to take a look.Mr. Kilmer achieved All American status, playing tailback at UCLA before becoming a first-round NFL draft pick. In 1966, Mr. Cohn and his wife Florence divorced. The following year, he moved to Monterey, where he began a second career in the Monterey School District. After 3 years as vice principal at Monterey High School, Mr. Cohn was promoted to director of child welfare and attendance in the district office. He held that position until he retired in 1989. Mr. Cohn married Catherine Sullivan in 1972 and helped raise her sons. When Catherine died in 1995, Mr. Cohn moved to San Diego to be near 2 of his daughters. He returned to Claremont a few months before his death. Mr. Cohn is survived by his children, Marjorie Cohn, Gary Cohn, Nancy Cohn Morgan, Susan McGeachy and Terri Peters; by his stepsons, John Sullivan and Joseph Sullivan; and by 15 grandchildren and 9 greatgrandchildren. A celebration of Coach Cohns life will be held onSaturday, August 3 at3 p.m. in the gymnasium at El Roble Junior High School, 655 N. Mountain Ave. in Claremont. Contributions can be sent to the Claremont High School Hall of Fame.
Cohn as a practicing psychologist, with signs plastered to the dressing room walls, exhorting the players on to greater deeds. It was not only athletes who were touched by Mr. Cohn. Coach gave his heart to CHS and to all of us students, observed Dail Ruthi Dworak-Crockett, class of 1961. Mr. Cohn was born in Hartford, Connecticut in 1919. One of 4 children, he was a member of the Clay Hill Gang, 50 kids who hung together and made just a bit of mischief. From 1942 to 1946, Mr. Cohn fought with valor in the Army in World War II. Quickly promoted to captain at age 21, he fought in the Battle of the Bulge. A graduate of Central Connecticut State University, where he starred as a tailback on an undefeated football team, Mr. Cohn married Florence Lichtenstein in 1947 and they relocated

William Leslie Chittick

Engineer, veteran, loving husband and father
William Bill Leslie Chittick, a longtime Claremont resident, died on May 16, 2013 at Sunrise Assisted Living of Claremont, surrounded by his loving family. Mr. Chittick was born on September 3, 1924 in Buffalo, Wyoming. He was the fourth of 5 children and the second son of William Andrew and Elva (Dierdorff) Chittick. Shortly after his birth, the Chitticks moved from Buffalo to Helena, Montana, where Mr. Chittick started elementary school. After young Bill finished the first grade, the Chittick family moved to Belt, Montana, where he attended Belt Valley Grade School followed by Belt Valley High School. In Mr. Chitticks own words, he was an average student. However, he developed into a champion runner in the half-mile race, breaking school and regional records, some of which still remain to this day. He also lettered in football and basketball. After graduating high school in May of 1942, Mr. Chittick started college at the University of Washington in Seattle. After his first semester, he joined the Army and, after infantry training, he left the United States for Europe on December 1, 1944. He served in Germany from December 25, 1944 to January 19, 1945, at which point he was transported to France. It was there, on February 17, 1945, in a small, war-torn village, that a mortar exploded behind him as he stood talking with fellow solder. His Bushnell General Hospital in Brigham City, Utah, the site of his final rehab, on May 1946. Although his life had been derailed by the events of the war, Mr. Chittick refused to be deterred. He resumed his studies, enrolling at Montana State College in Bozeman, Montana in June 1946. It was there that he met the love of his life, Eva Marie Ingram. They were married on December 27, 1948, a union that lasted 58 years until Mrs. Chitticks death in 2006. They married during the Christmas break from school so Mr. Chittick could continue his studies. He earned a degree in industrial engineering in June 1950. After graduation, Mr. Chittick stayed in Bozeman and worked as a territory manager for the Firestone Tire & Rubber Co. During this time, they relocated from Bozeman to Missoula, where they welcomed their first child, Michael Allen, on January 1, 1954. After almost 5 years, the Chitticks welcomed their second child, a girl named Lori Kay. Realizing that the store was not going to provide the financial security that he desired for his family, Mr. Chittick accepted a position as an industrial engineer with Convair, a defense contractor in San Diego, California. Mr. Chittick and his family spent 10 blissful years in San Diego, where Mr. Chittick was very active with his family, enjoyed camping and backpacking and serving as a Boy Scout leader. A work-related transfer sent them for a short stay in Montreal, Canada before General Dynamics transferred him back to Pomona in 1972. The family settled in nearby Claremont, where Mr. Chittick remained for the remainder of his career and subsequent retirement years, traveling and enjoying family. Mr. Chitticks trademark qualities were his quiet confidence, unwavering honesty and loyalty, according to family, who say they will miss his happy greeting of How do you do? He lived his life with thoughtful purpose and handled any challenges with dignity and courage. He was the rock that everyone clung to, and he willingly and lovingly took care of everyone, his daughter Lori shared. Our worlds feel a little less secure without him. Mr. Chittick was preceded in death by his sisters, Margaret and Marion, by his brothers, James and Robert, and by his beloved wife, Eva. He is survived by his son, Mike Chittick of Estacada, Oregon; by his daughter and son-in law, Lori Gordien and Jody Case of Claremont; by his grandsons, Will Chittick of Estacada, Oregon, and Kyle Case of Claremont; and by his great-granddaughter Grace of Estacada, Oregon. The family asks that donations be made to the Prairie County Cemetery in Terry, Montana (PO Box 125, Terry, MT 59349) or to the charity of your choice.
comrade was killed and Mr. Chittick was severely wounded. With a nearly severed left arm and multiple deep shrapnel wounds to his legs and back, he was sent back to the United States on the US Army Hospital Ship the Acadia. He arrived in Charleston, South Carolina at Stark General Hospital in April 1945. After the initial surgeries and recovery, he was transferred to the McCaw General Hospital in Fort Lewis in Walla Walla, Washington. He left

ples, even in states where it is legal. We, as a congregation, have decided not to live in fear of that polity any more and to move ahead and be a pastoral church that cares for our church folks, and that includes those that need to be married, Rev. Rhodes-Wickett said. I know what the consequences could be for meI could be stripped of my clergy orders. But we made the decision that were going to go ahead and do what we believe is obedient to what we understand to be Gods love and grace. The Reverends Gebbie and RhodesWickett noted while they were jubilant at the Supreme Courts affirmation of same-sex marriage, they were grieved by its recent decision to strike down a key part of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Claremonter David Cisneros, a former school principal who now works as a sales representative for an educational software company, recalls similar mixed feelings with regards to the election night of November 4, 2008. Our country, which had passed through many prejudices, had elected an African-American citizen, Mr. Cisneros noted. That same election, Proposition 8 passed. Its one step forward, 2 steps back. With this truism in mind, he and his

partner Scott Bohlender, an elementary school principal in the Redlands Unified School District, rushed to get married in June of 2008 as soon as same-sex marriage was legalized in the state. They headed to the courthouse
with their 2 sons, Christopher, now 17, and Matthew, 19. The ceremony was followed by a lunch reception with friends, held at Walters Restaurant. It was awesome, their younger son, Christopher noted. They werent mar-
ried before I was adopted. It was more meaningful to have 2 dads who were legally recognized. Mr. Cisneros said the immediate aftermath of their marriage was an uncertain time: We were greatly relieved when weddings that happened in that window were allowed to remain. Mr. Cisneros, Mr. Bohlender and their sons spend their spare time involved in their church and in scouting. They also head for the movies or go camping at the beach whenever they have a chance. Whats happened is more families of gay men and lesbian women and transgendered people are visible in everyday life, Mr. Cisneros said. And other families see that were doing all the same things everyone else is doing. We love our children like they love their children. Mr. Llanusa, a true extrovert, agrees. His very presence as an openly gay and married man makes a difference, whether hes in the community raising money for Kiwanis or more publicly providing a face for same-sex marriage, as when he was highlighted last year by KCET as an LGBT Pride Local Hero. The love that dare not speak its name becomes the love that wont shut up, he joked. Sarah Torribio

Service groups invited to adopt city parks, facilities

Claremonts Community and Human Services Department is looking for service-minded organizations, businesses and individuals to take part in the citys Project ADOPT program. Project ADOPT is a volunteer opportunity that promotes ownership of city facilities and parks. Program participants will choose a project area, which may include a park, street, median, right of way, sidewalk or facility. Participants will then commit to removing litter from surrounding areas, plant flowers, pull weeds, rake leaves, clean benches and report concerns. Some individuals may prefer to provide ongoing donations that will help offset the expenses for city personnel to perform these duties. After the completion of 60 volunteer hours at the adoption site, participants will receive a certificate of adoption and a sign recognizing their contribution. For more information about joining Project ADOPT, contact Lauren Marshall at 399-5356.

Pitzer grad creates art by producing culinary delights
or those with busy schedules, finding time to cook a meal is often the last priority. However, its quite the opposite for Webb and Pitzer graduate Jenn Louis. The busier her schedule becomes, the happier she is to find herself in the comforts of her kitchen.
It provides me with the creative outlet Ive always wanted, she says. Enthralled by the idea of culinary work, Ms. Louis turned cooking into a career. She is now a celebrated chef with not one, but 2 successful restaurants in the Portland areaLincoln and Sunshine Tavernand a catering business that started it all, dubbed Culinary Artistry. While following her passion has paid offthe reputable James Beard Foundation chose her as a semifinalist for best chef in the northwestof late it has taken her away from her beloved kitchen duty. Instead, she has been kept busy completing work on her latest cookbook, an exploration of Italian dumplings, and wrapping work on the latest installment of Top Chef Masters, where she will duke it out for the top honors and $100,000 towards her charity of choice, City of Hope. The dedicated chef has also been occupied with cross-country travel as she promotes Got Milks Real and Simple With Milk campaign this summer. As part of the campaign, Ms. Louis has created a series of simple, summer-friendly recipes that help get other busy bees like herself back into the kitchen.

Taking on so many big projects at once may seem like a whirlwind, but Ms. Louis has always been ambitious. Rigorous workloads at the Webb Schools and Pitzer Collegewhere she graduated with a triple major in environmental, religious and womens studies helped foster her tenacity and competitive spirit. I was encouraged to explore things that interested me, and a lot interested me, she recognized. If there was one thing I learned, it was to never put limits on what is achievable. After graduating she took those lessons with her, setting out to continue
doing what she does best, exploring new hobbies with unquenched enthusiasm. It first led her on travels through North and South America, Europe and Israel, where she lived for a while on a dairy farm. She then returned to the states to take a job working with kids at the Outward Bound camp in the North Carolina woods, and next to her first cooking post as a chef at Space Camp, a job she fell in love with. I always wanted a job that allowed me to be creative, but I wasnt very good at painting or drawing, she said. [Cooking] turned out to be my creative outlet. Ms. Louis had initially assumed her culinary dream was just that, a dream. But with the opportunity to continue in the steps of her newfound culinary career path, her fantasy suddenly became reality. She moved to Portland for culinary school and took a job with a local bakery before starting her catering business. Providing meals for her customers in the comforts of their home always appealed to Ms. Louis, no stranger to the power of a deliciously-prepared feast
around the dinner table. Made-fromscratch meals, courtesy of her mother, were featured heavily in her household growing upMs. Louis hardly remembers a cardboard box appearing on her kitchen table. Barbecue and comfort foods were always a favorite, and have remained influential in the food Ms. Louis now prepares for others. When it comes to her food and her restaurants, she enjoys going back to the basics. Casual atmosphere and simple comforting dishes, like chicken and waffles, define the atmosphere at Sunshine Tavern. While she understands how difficult it can be to make a meal after a long day at work, not to mention in the summer heat, she encourages others to take her lead. Create an easy, cool cucumber soup, she suggests, by throwing the cucumber in the blender with some almonds, milk, lemon juice, garlic and seasoning. Or save the watermelon rind and chop it up with some feta, almonds, sea salt and lime juice for a refreshing salad with little needed prep time. Take advantage of the wonderful seasonal fruits California has, she noted. Keep it simple. Food can be so great and require so little. She has discovered a little goes a long

way, in cooking and in life. A lot of people put limits on what is achievable, Ms. Louis said. Yes, it takes hard work and a creative approach to figure out how to achieve your goals but if you put your mind to it, and resolve to do it well, then certainly you can accomplish quite a bit.

Family film screening delights family, epitomizes new normal
onventional wisdom would have us believe that your social life ends when you are a parent. And, to an extent, it is true.
Unless you have a healthy babysitting budget and an even healthier sense of boundaries, you will find yourself attending less parties, gatherings, shindigs and soirees. You will go out on fewer dates and eat out less, and when you do eat out, the establishment is far more likely to feature Happy Meals than candlelight and linens.
COURIER photo/Collette Weinberger Local families sprawl out on blankets to enjoy a screening of The Lorax at Wheeler Park on Tuesday night. The film screenings, which continue through July, are hosted by the Claremont Police Department.
There is, however, another side to the story. In your incessant search for ways to socialize your child and, more importantly, to exorcise their manic and nonstop energy, you will find new social venues. Youve got to get out of the house. On Tuesday, my significant other, Brian, and I headed for Wheeler Park in Claremont, looking for the Holy Grail: A free family outing. The Claremont Police Department was screening the animated Dr. Seuss film, The Lorax. We arrived at 8 p.m. or so, armed with a bedspread and an armful of snacks. The movie wouldnt start until nearly 9 p.m., because the police seemed to be having some technical difficulty with the screen. No matter. Our 4-year-old son, Alex, began doing what he does so well, something I remember once doing, too. He made friends. Before long, he was running in circles with an Our Gang-style bunch of children, who needed no more in common than the fact they were kids and they had all been made honorary deputies by virtue of the gold sheriffs star stickers distributed by the officers. He even met a boy who will be in his transitional kindergarten class in the fall. And what do you do when seated on a blanket on a grassy expanse for an hour, with the sun setting inexorably, surrounded by parents keeping one eye on their gamboling kids? Brian and I made some acquaintances too. The mother of Alexs future schoolmate expounded the virtues of the kids judo class at the Hughes Community Centeronly $60 per session plus uniform cost, with a new session starting every 8 weeks. Our neighbors to our right shared they were already growing pumpkins in advance of their favorite holiday, Halloween, and they would likely carve 20 pumpkins over the course of October. The woman to the front of us offered a bottle of cold water to our son. And a little girl on an adjoinng blanket patted the seat next to her and told Alex, You can sit here. It may not have been a party, but it was probably friendlier than many gatherings. After all, most people try to be their best for their kids. There was one more snafu when the film began and it was discovered that the projecter was displaying the film backwards. It was only notable during the credits, though, and we enjoyed the screening. The night was warm but cooling down and the moviea fable about the perils of abusing the environmentwas enjoyable. It was proof positive that while life is different with kids, it can still be social. Well be heading next Tuesday for Lewis Park to see Madagascar 3: Europes Most Wanted. Hopefully, well see some familiar faces and meet some new ones. Oh, yeah, and does anyone know of a good babysitter?

Claremont festivities bring crowds with traditional favorites
n unexpected glitch may have set back the Fireworks Spectacular, but the delay was not enough to slow the momentum of Claremonts 65th annual Fourth of July Celebration last week. The Ravelers kept the crowds dancing until the boom of the fireworks and explosion of color took over.
Claremont residents are serious about celebrating the red, white and blue, and hardly anything seems to get in the way. One day is not enough; planning for the yearly celebration spreads out throughout the entire year. No doubt plans are already underway for the 66th Independence Day extravaganza. The lineup may be the same every yearpancake breakfast, race, parade and fireworksbut the crowds come back with renewed enthusiasm year after year. Those who have celebrating their Day of Independence in the City of Trees know there is a little extra spark about the Claremont Fourth of July. Here are some of the reasons the Fourth is Claremonts favorite. 1. The blankets lining Indian Hill Boulevard days before the actual Fourth
of July celebration even arrives. The preemptive preparations somehow make the drive down the street to work a little more exciting, maybe if only for the promise of the short work week and fun to come. 2. The Kiwanis Pancakes. This year they served hot cakes to 889 breakfastgoers. Its a tough job, serving a horde of hungry people. With cleanup, it hasnt been uncommon for work from the Fourth of July breakfast to last until 2 a.m. on the Fifth of July, notes Kiwanis

president Jim Convoy. Their cause, to help the less fortunate, helps keep them focused. 3. Watching the youngest generation of Claremonters kicking off the celebration with an all-out sprint at the Freedom 5000s kid fun run. The enthusiasm is palpable. 4. The runners willing to brave the typical July heat wave give us reason to cheer in the early hours of Fourth of July morning. John Guzman, 22, Aric Crowell, 18, and Colin Mcgarth, 26, finished at the top of the pack this year in the mens division while Nicki Maslan, 19, Rae Brookshire, 19, and Samantha Cabrera, 15, took home the medals for women. 5. The anticipated outlandish decorations decking out homes across town, always a sight to see with flags and Uncle Sams galore. 6. The Pledge of Allegiance, always recited by a Claremont elementary school student, as the festivities are kicked off at the Flag Raising Ceremony. 7. The legendary Speakers Corner, one of the first in the United States,

brought to Claremont by the late T. Willard Hunter and maintained today by Karen Rosenthal. Mr. Hunter was arguably the most notable speaker over the yearsreciting poetry, stories or the Declaration of Independence in top hat and frock coatbut Claremont has a few other notable regulars, like Butch Henderson (on justice and truth), Michael Fay (on societal values), Chuck Doskow (on the Supreme Court), David Nemer (on education), Michael Keenan (on public policy failures) and Peter Weinberger (news reporting), who is the 2nd generation speaking following his father Martin, just to name a few. 8. It doesnt matter the age, everyone has face paint! 9. Barbecue. Theres always a generous heaping of pulled pork, hotdogs and hamburgers for those who seek them at Memorial Park. They say the way to someones heart is through the stomach. In Claremont, its no different. 10. The regular, unquestioned, appearance of Uncle Sam on stilts. 11. The buzz of activity as kids gather along Tenth Street to deck out their bikes, skates and wagons with streamers and balloons before the parade commences. 12. The colorful characters that make up the annual Fourth of July parade. Heres a few: the now-defunct Claremont Bicentennial Power Lawn Mower Drill Team, The Claremont Irregulars and the Kazoo band. 13. Playing a friendly game of Frisbee or football at the Claremont Colleges before the start of the sold out fireworks show. Blankets and lawn chairs devour every square inch of grass as friends and family gather together for the culmination of the days celebrating. 14. A little bit of rock n roll, courtesy of The Ravelers, to kick off the fireworks. 15. The first boom signifying the start of the Fireworks Spectacular. Suddenly, all is silent as friends and family huddle together, basking in the glow. For more from Claremonts Fourth of July, visit www.claremont-courier.com and view the star-spangled photo gallery.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorders office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

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.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property.

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) 480-5690 or (800) 843-0260 ext 5690 or visit this Internet Web site: http://www.tacforeclosures.com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case F541862 F. 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. 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. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee's attorney. Date: July 1, 2013 T.D. SERVICE COMPANY as said Trustee, T.D.

The market continues to slowly rise month after month. Interest rates took a huge jump and are over one percent higher than they were just a month ago. June saw the biggest interest rate jump in a one week period than has been seen in over 26 years. Buyers continue to want to take advantage of the lower interest rates before they jump too high. As interest rates rise, buyers purchase power decreases, which typically slows the rising market. Information provided by Ryan Zimmerman, Wheeler Steffen Sotheby's International Realty.
