On Monday, Feb. 8, the Pasadena City Council elected an interim city manager, Steve Mermell, to temporarily replace City Manager Michael Beck who will leave office effective midnight on Feb. 15. The meeting got off to a fiery start with several public comments concerning Juan Ruelas, principal of Madison Elementary School. Many of the speakers, some of which included present and former Madison teachers, delivered passionate accusations of alleged negative effects caused

by Ruelas’ tenure. Naturally, the public comments ran over the allotted time limit, but the speeches seemed to particularly resonate with Councilmembers Gordo and Kennedy. Kennedy asked Mayor Tornek to extend the public comment portion of the meeting, a request that was denied. Gordo took it a step further and asked for a public forum to be scheduled with Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) Superintendent Brian Mcdonald and all relevant PUSD representatives, in order to further discuss the issue. For more information on the Madison Elementary School situation see the Pasadena Independent’s article from Jan. 21: www.

Former Sheriff Lee Baca Admits Lying to FBI

By Terry Miller

Former Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca pled guilty in a downtown courtroom Wednesday to making false statements to the FBI.

According to the Los Angeles Times, a charging document filed by federal prosecutors on Wednesday morning claimed, “Baca lied twice about his involvement in hiding an inmate from FBI

agents who were investigating brutality and corruption by sheriff's deputies in the county jails.”

Baca also lied when he said he was unaware that his subordinates planned to ap-

proach an FBI special agent at her home, the document stated.

Baca's attorney, Michael Zweibeck, said his client has agreed to plead guilty to a single count as part of a deal with

FOR OVER 100 YEARS A wide range of remembrance options, including: • • •

prosecutors under which he will spend no more than six months in prison and possibly no time at all.

Zweibeck said that federal sentencing guidelines specify up to six months in prison for making a false statement, but that Baca could also be sentenced to probation and not serve any time behind bars.

Baca, who ran the department for more than 15 years, retired in 2014 amid an FBI probe into misconduct and abuse by deputies in the county's jail system. So far, more than a dozen former sheriff's officials have been convicted as a result of the wide-ranging investigation, which began more than five years ago.

Sheriff Jim McDonnell issued a rather general statement after Baca appeared in court yesterday.

“As I have stated previously when asked about the federal investigation and trial, I have faith in the justice system, and trust that it is assessing the facts of these past events in a fair-minded, accountable manner. I know that the milestones during this series of Federal trials have been difficult for all of us at the Sheriff’s Department to learn about. But most important, I have learned through my personal experience with this proud organization that our deputies and professional staff remain focused and committed to moving forward by continuing to perform their essential public service in a professional and caring manner.”

Baca — who spent 48 years with the department including 15 as sheriff — was at times at the point of tears as he explained his decision in

DOUGLASS & ZOOK FUNERAL AND CREMATION SERVICES A MEMBER OF THE FOREST LAWN FAMILY • MONROVIA FD 221

January 2014.

"I will go out on my terms," Baca, 71, said. "The reasons for doing so are so many, most personal and private."

Baca insisted his decision to step down was "based on the highest of concern for the future of the Sheriff's Department." He repeatedly cited the upcoming campaign, which he said had already brought "negative perception" to the department.

During the press conference announcing his retirement in 2014, Baca was asked whether his retirement was connected to the ongoing federal corruption investigation into jail violence and other problems in the department.

Baca indicated it was not, saying: ""I'm not afraid of reality. I'm only afraid of people who don't tell the truth."

Last year, Baca's former top aide, Undersheriff Paul Tanaka, was indicted on charges of orchestrating an elaborate scheme to thwart the FBI, raising questions about whether Baca would be the next to face prosecution.

Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation Provides Immediate Rescue Response after Taiwan Earthquake Immediately after the 6.4-magnitude earthquake struck southern Taiwan on Feb. 6, Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation mobilized its disaster team to help the displaced, injured, and families of the many still trapped in the rubble.

As of Feb. 7, Tzu Chi has deployed and mobilized 928 volunteers, including 14 doctors and nurses to provide emergency medical services; it has provided thousands of hot meals, warm clothing, eco-friendly blankets, multi-function foldable beds, and portable heaters

to affected families. Tzu Chi is also providing financial assistance and emotional support to many injured survivors who are being treated in six hospitals. For updates on relief news and global Tzu Chi projects, please visit tw.tzuchi.org/en/.

“The Tzu Chi volunteers in Taiwan are still onsite assisting emergency relief workers and affected families,” said Dr. Han Kuei Huang, CEO of Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation in the United States. “Meantime, Tzu Chi volunteers in the United States are encouraging our

local communities to donate and pray for speedy recovery to affected families in Taiwan.

“We hope that the start of the Lunar New Year will provide great encouragement and that the love and care from the global Tzu Chi family and on-site volunteers will pave the way to a speedy recovery for the people of Tainan.”

Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation’s U.S. offices are currently collecting donations to support survivors of the Tainan Earthquake. You can help now by donating online at www.tzuchi.us/donate/ taiwanquake or by check payable to Tzu Chi.

California State Legislators Introducing Bill to Fund Earthquake Early Warning System Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA), who helped last year to secure $8.2 million in the Fiscal Year 2016 funding bill specifically designated for a West Coast Earthquake Early Warning System and $5 million the previous year, released the following statement after three California state legislators unveiled a bill to provide funding for an early warning system late Friday, Feb. 5: "The relatively small cost of building and operating an earthquake early warning system pales in comparison to the lives and property that can be saved with a few seconds to a minute warning," said Rep. Schiff. "While the federal in-

vestment has been critical to our getting to this point, the federal government cannot, and will not, fund this system on its own. That's why today's announcement is so critical, and why I will work

with the state legislators to build support for their efforts. The question is not if, but when, the big one will hit, and the state of California must move quickly to do its part."

Every month, thousands of homeowners are faced with the stressful dilemma of whether to buy first or sell first. You see, if you buy before selling, you could run the risk of owning two homes. Or, just as bad, if you sell first, you could end up homeless.

It’s what insiders in the industry call the Real Estate Catch 22, and it’s an extremely anxious position to be in.

This financial and emotional tightrope is one you usually have to walk alone because most agents have no way of helping you with this predicament. But one local realtor is using a unique

Guaranteed Sale Program which solves this dilemma. This program guarantees the sale of your present home before you take possession of your new one.

Before you hire any professional, you should research the market to find out who can do the best job for you. When interviewing agents, find out what kind of guarantee they are willing to give you with respect to the selling of your home. Unfortunately, you’ll find PAID ADVERTISEMENT

To help you learn more about this program and how it can make your move less stressful, a FREE special report has been prepared entitled “How to Avoid Getting Stuck with Two Homes”. To order a FREE Special Report, call toll-free 1-888-300-4632 and enter 1022.

COMMUNITY FEEDBACK

BeaconMediaNews.com

Dear Editor: I recommend that the Pasadena City Council appoint individuals to serve on a Charter Reform Committee for changes in the City Charter. a. Election reform. b. Selling city assets to reduce the $900 million dollar debt. c. Adopt some of the Los Angeles County Civil Grand Jury Final Reports recommendations on the process of selecting Consultants. Budget reform and reducing costly lawsuits (L.A.U.S.D. paid $139 million to settle one sex discrimination case).

There has been an increase in crime in Pasadena while this City Council has discharged 22 Police Officers in past years. 22 - Police officers have resigned in the last two months to seek positions with other law enforcement agencies. Perhaps some City Councilmembers want to replace the court system on whether a police officer is guilty of any alleged misconduct. There is a correlation between the number of police officers and the crime rate.

Reader’s Response to ‘Changing Face of Arcadia’ (2/4/16 Issue)

Dear Editor: “The major suggestion for this (Duarte) area was ‘to look to RID the area of the 99 Cents Only Store ...’” Did

S SANDERS COMPANY

INSURANCE

the NAI report use such language? Is this terminology considered “objective reporting?” And who is behind the effort “to RID the area of the 99 Cents Only Store?” Get your demographics right. Not everyone in Arcadia is a “high income resident” or “midlevel professional” who uses, wants, or needs a “high-end shopping district ... high quality retail” (we have the mall, thank you), or even a Gelson’s or Bristol Farms; if Fresh-NEasy did not make it, where is the wisdom of putting a more expensive market in its place?

My husband and I have lived in the area since 1974.

We are now pensioners who work part time, and gratefully frequent the 99 Cents Only Store. There are many small businesses in the surrounding area which are dependent upon the foot traffic of the “Duarte Area.” And, as the article reads, “In China, Arcadia has a reputation for being highly desired location.”

Is someone in China going to help me make ends meet? The prestige of having an Arcadia address can be obtained with an Arcadia P.O. Box. “Challenges to the area ... “ are NOT competition from nearby areas. Challenges to the Arcadia area are within itself.

Response to Sierra Madre PD Situation

Dear Editor: We have recently heard in the press that several members of the Sierra Madre Police Department have left to take jobs elsewhere, leaving our force short. I do not blame them for a minute. As someone who works for a living, I understand perfectly. Some people are advocating that we should slash the utility tax,

Have Any Questions About Your Insurance?

which essentially provides the money for police services, and a lot of other things. Some people are advocating that we switch our police service to the Sheriff’s Department.

Both of these ideas are false economies. Without the utility tax we do not have the money for a huge percentage of our budget including police, no matter where we get it from. My bet is that when we look at the number quoted by the Sheriff it is for only bare bones service, and that at any level, the level we are accustomed to or any other level, the Sheriff would cost at least 25 percent more than our own department, as well as being less satisfactory to most Sierra Madre residents.

As Pogo so famously said, “We have met the enemy and it is us.”

That way all residents would have the opportunity to view the forum, rather than just a few squeezed into a small room at the library. That is how we should do things in a city like Arcadia.

Reader Says Judy Chu Got Affordable Care Wrong

Dear Editor: You (Judy Chu) provided the 218th vote for the Affordable Health Care Act. Without your vote, this law would not have passed. Employers have cancelled their paid medical insurance coverage with low deductions for the Cover California plan with high deductions paid by the employee.

Millions of Californians will be assessed fines ($960 dollars and up) if they have no proof of medical insurance in 2015.

Many hospitals that provide over 30 percent of medical care for low income individuals are filing bankruptcy or selling their hospitals because of the low reimbursement rates. Some medical doctors are closing their practice to become a contractor for medi-

Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo & Juliet’ as a Street Performance at ANW

By May S. Ruiz

www.roseconcerts.com 888-645-5006 Dinner Seating/Service Available For All Performances

Beginning this upcoming Valentine’s Day through May 8, A Noise Within (ANW) will be staging the greatest love story of all time – William Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.”

Directed by Damaso Rodriguez, artistic director of Artists Repertory Theatre, Portland’s longest-running professional theatre company, this “Romeo and Juliet” will be a far departure from how Shakespeare’s work is traditionally presented: as a period piece, with lavish costumes and grand sets. Instead the play will be presented as a street performance, in a graffiti-ed and littered alley with garbage bins scattered about.

The vision for this wellknown play came about when Rodriguez visited Havana, Cuba, and met with artists who staged bare-bone productions for a few attendees in humble homes. He relates one memorable evening, “We walked through a courtyard overlooking balconies – it is a beautiful environment

but all around you could see peeling plaster from 50 years of decay. We entered a small house, with light bulbs in tomato cans for stage lighting, the actors wearing their own clothes. The audience was made up of 20 people who came that night. We watched a Cuban play which, I think, was about their daily struggles for survival. While there was a language barrier, what united the performers with the audience was the art form. It was a truly transformative moment for me.

“Theatre companies without much in the way of money put on plays using

found objects for props and scenery, and in very low-tech, low-resource performance spaces. The plays with just the actors themselves having to rely on their skills were powerful and inspirational.

In this place where there are few resources, actors and audience link as a community with the compelling need to tell and hear stories joining them as one.

“I wanted to bring this experience to ‘Romeo and Juliet’ – costumes will be clothes that actors own, props are whatever they find in the street, and the setting urban. The play will exist in

the telling rather than the trappings.

“It will be an unexpected environment that in no way resembles the characters’ wealth and class. I hope that by stripping the play down to its most basic, it will focus on the language and clarify the intention of the characters,” Rodriguez discloses further.

ANW’s artistic director, Geoff Elliott reveals, “When we approached Damaso about directing for us this season, he responded by saying that he has wanted to do ‘Romeo and Juliet’ because it deals with the most basic of human emotions – love, rashness, hate, fate – and tribalism, which drives just about anything we call news.

Humans have passion, conduct war, and kill each other over a tribal conflict the origin of which no one can even remember. And I think that Damaso has found a direct and compelling way to tell this story.”

“It’s arguably daunting to present such a classical material in an unexpected fashion because you could be working with actors who’ve done it before. People who love Shakespeare have certain expectations; also there are scholars who think Shakespeare has to be done a certain way. But in the end all I can do is forget about that. I have to believe that a director has to find an emotional connection and impulsive reaction to it,” Rodriguez says.

“It’s quite liberating, actually, to not be restricted by expectations and standards.

While ANW has staged ‘Romeo and Juliet’ twice, I didn’t necessarily set out to find a way to make it very different from what they did before.

I didn’t burden myself with that concern; I am merely satisfying an urgent impulse.

It’s hard enough to just unpack the language of Shakespeare. I simply want to make the storytelling as clear as he would have wanted for his audience,” concludes Rodriguez.

During Shakespeare’s time some plays were presented outdoors. Theatregoers had to use their imagination – there were no backdrops, lighting, or props to speak of. Furthermore,APY* his plays were not intended to be read but spoken aloud; the lack of background meant there was nothing to distract the audience from the actors’ words and movements.

That ANW’s “Romeo and Juliet” would be staged as they were originally performed four hundred years ago is the perfect tribute to the Bard’s timeless work.

‘I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change’ Timed for Valentine’s Month

By Fran Syverson What better time than Valentine’s month to see “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change?” Whether you are in the exquisite, agonizing throes of first love … or about to march down the aisle … or basking in the amber glow of decades together, you will relate to this satiric musical.

Two men and two women take us on a rollercoaster ride portraying 50 characters in vignettes of date-andmate relationships from teens’ first shy attempts to late-in-life loves. Their nearly two dozen songs range from “A Stud and a Babe” to “Always a Bridesmaid” to “Shouldn’t I Be Less in Love With You?” The four actors are simply Woman 1 (Mirai BoothOng), Woman 2 (Gloria Bennett), Man 1 (Troy Guthrie), and Man 2 (Jack J. Bennett).

Each takes on a new persona as they play their dozen or so roles. Quick-change artists? Count on that, in both their costumes and their characterizations! With a twist of a hairdo, a svelte gown vs. a frumpy robe; a nuanced change in body language; a sloppy t-shirt vs. a natty jacket - they each become another person.

And the subtleties of facial expressions are joys to watch - a leer, a seductive

smile, a frowning uncertainty … all four actors are in top form, just as they are with their singing. They project nicely in the small Fremont Theatre, so the audience truly hears both the brief narratives and the songs. Yukiko Elegino complements the lyrics with her piano accompaniment.

Staging is basic - a couple of clothes racks for the quick-change garments, tables, a backdrop of red and white paper valentines. But that is all that is needed.

The title “I Love you, You’re Perfect, Now Change” implies mature relationships of both loving and cynical aspects. Mostly you will be laughing at the love dilemmas’ hilarity, but poignant moments may find you with a tear or two in your eye.

By its very nature, the play is for adults. So we must include the caveat that ribald humor flavors a couple of the songs (still, you have likely seen racier scenes on primetime television). But, for the faint of sensitivities, be warned.

The actors play multiple roles offstage, too. The above-mentioned Jack and Gloria Bennett and BoothOng are credited with set design, choreography, and musical direction. The rolling tables are by David Alan Smith. Cody Sullivan and

Smart Women-Smart Money

BY Emmy Hernandez Certified Financial Planner® Practitioner, Attorney at Law

Q:

Names and Memories

Dear Emmy: How Is the Market?

A:

The New Year is off to a rocky start – marketwise. Most of the inquiries I’ve recently received are about this. I wrote about the market’s volatility last September and it seems many people have been keeping notes. Today, I’d like to build off that foundation to depict January’s adventures.

Current oil prices are an enormous factor in the stock market’s volatility, having hit 12-year lows. We at the pump are fine with this drop; oil producing nations are not. Many “emerging market” countries depend on international oil sales to fuel their national economies. They’ve incurred significant debt to fund exploration and production. As petroleum prices continue to plunge, the return on investment is far less than anticipated. Russia and Brazil are especially hard hit.

International sanctions were recently lifted on Iran.

Tehran almost immediately began to ramp up oil production – meaning more cheap oil will hit the world markets

By Dorothy Denne

soon – just as China’s demand declines.. American producers are cutting back on production, hoping to wait out this time of low profit-margins.

One side effect being a loss of U.S. oil-sector jobs.

Up next: Perceptions of China continue to play an outsized role. The Shanghai Composite index lost 10% in the first week of 2016. A staggering 7% in just one thirty minute interval! This borders on the absurd.

China’s economic growth rate has slowed to 6.8%, which pretty much matched expectations. This is still a strong growth rate, at about three times ours. Chinese industrial output has indeed dropped - especially steelmaking, coal and shipbuilding. But the swift stock market plunge was caused by something else: Individual investor panic inside of China.

Government regulation of the Chinese stock markets has become counter-productive. Bureaucrats decided that all trading would stop if the Shanghai index rose or fell

over 5%, which it did after New Year’s. The stock market essentially shut down and when it restarted. . . Chinese investors hit the sell button. This regulation served to incite panic rather than to reduce it. Although I’m oversimplifying, this still seems an example of a “causeless crash.”

Here at home, institutional investors, just like families, are in risk-averse mode. If it looks shaky, then don’t touch it. Entering a Presidential election year just adds to the uncertainty.

My advice is, once again, to turn off the TV. The longer your investment time-horizon, the more likely it is that you’ll ride out this current volatility. This could even be a good buying opportunity as some stocks go “on sale.” Historically, the sharpest market rise happens just after a steep downturn.

Long-term investors should avoid knee-jerk reactions. Selling low now runs the risk of locking in your financial losses permanently. Pre-retirees in their 50s and early 60s

When you teach school as long as I did, names take on special meaning to you.

Just hearing a particular name can trigger a stream of memories, some good - some not so good. John is one of those. It is definitely a name that belongs in my happy memories file.

One little John that I especially remember is a great example of how easily children can both amaze and be amazed. I had taken my elementary school class of mentally gifted students to the Amtrak station as part of a field trip. At the time John was six-years-old and just starting in the second grade group.

He was especially small, especially bright, and always amazing.

My friend had accompanied us as an adult chaperone. John clung to her hand as the guide explained the operation of the big engine. He gave a little tug, looked up at her will definitely need to be more cautious as they don’t have as many years to recover from down markets. In my opinion, the best course of action is to always be judicious - watch closely and step carefully – especially when markets are volatile. Keep focused on your original long-term financial planning strategy.

Because I cannot directly

with wondrous dark eyes, and whispered, "Mrs. Kammuellar, can you imagine, with such tremendous horsepower, the terrific wind velocity when they are traveling at maximum speed?" My friend was rendered temporarily speechless so little John looked at me, shrugged his shoulders, and said simply, “Huh, I guess she can't imagine it."

John is also proof that love is real. He was a thoughtful little child. Later in the year, as my birthday approached, his mom warned me ahead of time that he had used his own allowance money to buy me a "Topaz" birthstone ring. On the big day, he gave it to me with all his love and stood beaming as I oooed and aaah-ed. One of the older, less thoughtful boys said, "Aahh, it's only a fake." Poor little John stood crestfallen.

Not one to be easily daunted, he suddenly brightened, lifted his head, stuck out his chin, and proudly announced, "Well, it's a real fake!"

Century 21 Village Honors Top Producers For 2015 Andy Bencosme, managing broker at Century 21 Village Realty in Sierra Madre recently presented the annual sales production awards to the office’s top sales producers. The annual awards break-

fast was held at The Only Place in Town Restaurant in Sierra Madre.

Nazee Rix was honored once again as the office’s Top Sales Producer for the year.

Rix, a Bradbury resident and

mother of two, has been a consistent top sales producer for the Sierra Madre office. For 2015, she posted the highest number of home sales and the highest sales volume in the office. Rix was also the fifth

ranked sales associate in the region for Century 21, which covers most of Southern California and 63rd in the entire nation! Bencosme credits her success to having the utmost dedication to her business and an understanding of her client’s individual needs. Her expansive knowledge of the various real estate markets in the vicinity and her honesty in business also play a very important factor in her success in the business. “Nazee receives many favorable reports from her clients on the quality service surveys,” says Bencosme “and much of her business comes from referrals of very satisfied clients.”

Emily Duggan, the office’s Second Top Producer for 2015, is a long time resident of Sierra Madre. She celebrates her 26th year as an agent at Century 21 Village. Emily offers her clients the talents of a smart and savvy realtor who knows the foothill areas thoroughly. For both buyers and sellers, Emily also puts her experience and contacts to work. Professional photographers, home stagers, contrac-

tors, handymen, painters, decorators, and landscapers all are part of her team to make sure a home looks just right to maximize its appeal to potential home buyers; Emily has all their names and numbers.

The Third Top Producer for 2015 is Nathalie Marles.

Nathalie grew up in South Pasadena and lived in the San Gabriel Valley over 30 years.

Nathalie covers a large part of Southern California in her business. She works with clients in San Bernardino, Los Angeles, and Ventura Counties. She also has a wide array of different specialties in real

estate, selling luxury estates, vacation homes, commercial properties, probates, and land.

The Top Producing Sales Team for 2015 was the BlumeTruong Real Estate Group. It is comprised of Roy Blume and Irene Truong. They finished 2015 as the First Ranked Sales Team in the San Gabriel Valley for Century 21 and eighth overall in the region, which includes much of the greater Los Angeles Area.

plan your remodel.

-Compile your wish list.

Prioritize your list by identifying what projects and features are important to you and your lifestyle. Use your list to determine the scope and budget of your remodel. Consider breaking your project into phases to make it more manageable if you have a big list.

-Select your contractor—carefully.

Personal and professional referrals can help you narrow your search for a quality contractor. Find someone you trust professionally and who understands your taste, budget, and lifestyle. Make sure your contractor has the bandwidth of employees or subcontractors to complete the work in a timely fashion.

-Set your budget, with contingencies. Remodeling projects—especially those involving older homes— often reveal surprises that require you to reevaluate your budget and timeline.

For best success, allocate 15 to 20 percent of the project estimate for contingencies.

If the project nears completion with your contingency

budget still in place, you could upgrade the finishing touches.

-Review the contract before signing. Once you’ve agreed on the scope of work and how contingencies will be handled, your contractor should provide a detailed contract that clearly documents key features or unique aspects of the project. Check that it includes a lien waiver clause, which ensures subcontractors and suppliers will have been paid before you make final payment.

-Understand how you’ll pay. Most contractors require a down payment to get your project rolling. The remaining budget is usually paid in regular installments or as major work is completed (i.e. electrical work, plumbing). The difference between these options can be significant. Review your budget with a financial professional who can help you manage your cash flow.

-Keep remodeling receipts on file. Energy efficiency improvements resulting from your remodel

By Gus Herrera When you step inside Designer Rugs & Kilims, aka Jon’s Rugs, in Pasadena you are stepping into much more than your typical antique rug store, you are entering an art gallery housing pieces that span hundreds of years of human history from all around the world.

This gallery, meticulously curated by owner Jon Erin over his decades of experience, includes over 500 rugs, each specifically chosen not just for their aesthetic appeal or material quality, but moreover for their story and overall artistic impression. No two pieces are the same; each rug is one of a kind. The store is his personal collection, the manifestation of his expertise, which has been carefully developed by years of experience and forged by his passion for the industry.

Erin describes the experience he aims to provide, “I would like to really educate the people who come in … help them get exactly what they are looking for, give them information about the rug they are interested in, give them the history of the piece they buy,

Erin discovered his passion for rugs and his talent for dealing with customers during his youth when he worked in the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, Turkey.

and tell them all about it. I like to be involved in their decorating. I try to help people who really are looking for that right rug that fits in their home … that makes a statement in their home.”

Erin’s business strives to develop relationships with customers, a notion that ties back to his origins in the rug business. He discovered his passion for rugs and his talent for dealing with customers during his youth when he worked in

the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, Turkey, which houses over 4,000 different shops.

Erin applied his language skills (fluent in Turkish, Arabic, English, and French; and proficient in Italian and German) during weekends, summers, and vacations; working as a translator for vendors in the Bazaar in addition to helping guide and translate for tourists.

Erin continued to do this, gradually amassing knowledge and cultivating his

passion, until he graduated from an American school in Istanbul, Robert’s College, in 1973 with a degree in civil engineering. For a couple of months thereafter he worked in southern Paris designing roads, until he decided it was time for a change. Civil engineering was not providing the social interaction under which Erin’s passion thrives. “Engineering is interesting, I like it, I am good with numbers, but it is completely different from oriental rugs.

With rugs you deal with people, while in engineering you deal with numbers,” said Erin. So he followed his heart and opened a rug store with his brother in Istanbul that very same year.

Seven years later, in 1980,

SUN

they opened up shop in Williamsburg, Virginia, and in 1996 Jon’s Rugs was born in Pasadena.

Located in the Pasadena Antique Center (480 S. Fair Oaks Ave.), a building from the 1920s that houses over 50 individual dealers, Erin’s journey in the rug industry has in a sense come full circle: beginning in Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar and now residing in Pasadena’s own mini-Bazaar.

Designer Rugs & Kilims also provides unique cleaning, restoration, and appraisal services, personally guided by Erin’s recommendations and expertise. For more information or to schedule a time to meet with the rug guru himself call (626) 487-9651.

Tanzania Project From Huntington Continues to Move Forward

Kimberly A. Shriner, M.D., founder and director of the Huntington Hospital-based non-profit The Phil Simon Clinic, a multidisciplinary facility that provides comprehensive medical and psychosocial care for persons infected with HIV, always knew she wanted to go to Africa. Though she was not sure when, how or why her travels would take her there.

During their most recent trip in 2014, the team helped more than 1000 patients, performed 42 surgeries, conducted home visits and large animal veterinarian actives; all in addition to educating and training the healthcare community. 2014 also marked the first trip with a pediatrician.

Well respected Mark Powell, M.D., was moved by the fact that he was the first pediatrician to see many of our children.

The Phil Simon Clinic Tanzania Project has long been committed to healthcare education and graduate medical education. Internal medicine and surgical residents have been participating in trips to Africa for many years.

Phil Simon Clinic outpatient center is a leading teaching venue for internal medicine residents. The hospital also contributes to the Tanzania Project by buying medications that are given free to the patients in Africa.

Upon arrival in Africa next week, the team will continue their involvement at local hospitals and clinics by assisting with clinical care, ward rounds, and hours of teaching and shared experiences.

Supervising the new clinic will be Ezekiel Moirana, M.D., an extraordinary man with an extraordinary story.

A native of Kisongo, Ezekiel was first introduced to Shrin-

er and the Tanzania Project during the team’s third trip to Africa when he was working as a clinical officer (aka physician’s assistant). Upon the team’s return two years later, Ezekiel expressed his desire to become a doctor.

Viewing this as a longterm investment for the future, the Tanzania Project, along with an incredibly generous donation made by Martha White and her family in honor of their late son Judah, put Ezekiel through medical school and residency in Tanzania. Also a resident at Huntington Hospital at the time of his death, Judah’s legacy is now carried on by Dr. Moirana.

next to the front lobby and heard a male subject yelling. When she looked at the monitor that was displaying a live video feed of the lobby, she saw the suspect with a small Chihuahua on a leash exiting the lobby. The records clerk then saw the suspect return to the lobby where he kicked the dog. As she continued to monitor the live feed, she notified a police dispatcher as to what was happening. The records clerk then saw the suspect kick the dog several more times and violently swing it in the air by its leash in a circular motion. The suspect then left the lobby with the dog while being followed by the records clerk and a police dispatcher.

Responding officers located the suspect at Mound Avenue and Mission Street and he was subsequently arrested. The dog had undetermined injuries and was released into the custody of the Pasadena Humane Society.

The suspect was later identified as 48-year-old Christian Andrew Najera, a resident of the City of Los Angeles. He has a lengthy criminal record, including

At the conclusion of the public comments there was an interesting moment when Gordo asked to adjourn the meeting for the night out of respect for the late Dr. Juan Fransisco Lara, a graduate of Pasadena High School and a very well respected and revered figure in education.

Tornek respectfully denied Gordo’s proposal.

As the meeting proceeded into the first item on the agenda, the appointment of an interim city manager, councilmembers took the time to each thank and praise Beck, the soon-to-be former city manager. They shared personal anecdotes of their time with Beck, some more heartfelt than others (Councilmember Masuda was particularly invested).

All in all, there was a consensus amongst the council that Beck’s time serving the City of Pasadena was indeed productive.

The council then voted unanimously to appoint Steve Mermell, assistant city manager, as interim city manager. “Mermell earned a bachelor’s degree in political science and a master’s de-

gree in public administration from California State University-Northridge. He has been a Pasadena city employee since 1989, working his way up the ranks from an administrative analyst at Pasadena Water and Power. In the Finance Department, he served as purchasing administrator, budget administrator, and deputy director of finance,” according to the city’s website.

The second and final item on the city council agenda concerned the authorization to enter into a contract with the recruitment firm Bob Murray & Associates for the selection of a new city manager, the amount of which is not to exceed $35,000. Four potential firms were interviewed in the process but Bob Murray

& Associates was ultimately selected because of its national reputation and its history with Pasadena (the firm has been hired by the city in the past), according to Tornek. Despite this item passing with unanimous support from the council, Kennedy raised a few concerns. Firstly, he argued that $35,000 is insufficient for a national search of the magnitude and quality that the city would like to conduct.

Tornek informed him that the figure was based off of the proposed fees submitted by the recruitment firms themselves. Second, Kennedy proposed including a citizen selection committee in the recruitment process, so that the public may be allowed an opportunity to share their input and desired

qualifications. He then asked Tornek to elaborate on the selected firm’s reputation with respect to diversity in their hiring process; not only the racial diversity of the individuals, but also diversity in the fields from which the potential candidates will be drawn. Kennedy argued that the search for a new city manager would not be comprehensive unless some candidates are pulled from outside the realm of government, the mayor responded by yet again defending the reputation of Bob Murray & Associates.

Once the city council meeting adjourned there was a brief recess and then it was time for a special joint meeting between the city council and the PUSD, during which the council was updated on Collaborate Pasadena, the Youth Master Plan, in addition to ongoing and recently completed construction projects at Mckinley School, Washington Middle School, and John Muir High School. Tornek also presented the 2016 Rose Queen and Royal Court with certificates of recognition.

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math: Education for Early Childhood

By Terry Miller 700 educators gathered in Pasadena last week to address ways to introduce science, technology, engineering, and mathematics - STEM education, to preschoolers.

The Early Childhood STEM Conference, held from last Thursday, Feb. 4, to Saturday, Feb. 6, at the Hilton, aimed to show educators from across the state that it is possible to teach young children about science and technology at an early age.

It is all part of an effort to reduce the nation's shortage of qualified candidates for math and science-based fields.

STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines - science, technology, engineering, and mathematics - in an interdisciplinary and applied approach. Rather than teach the four disciplines

as separate and discrete subjects, STEM integrates them into a cohesive learning paradigm based on real-world applications.

At last week’s Early Childhood STEM conference educators learned more about the importance of STEM education via workshops and a plethora of knowledge from experts in the field, one of who was Dr. Russell Shilling.

Russell Shilling is the executive director of STEM at the U.S. Department of Education, overseeing the Department’s policies to drive innovation in STEM education and enhance interagency coordination.

Previously, Shilling served as a Navy Captain, retiring after 22 years of service

as a Navy Aerospace Experimental Psychologist focusing on education, training, and psychological health. Shilling held a variety of leadership positions including program management positions at the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). He has served as an associate professor at both the United States Air Force Academy and the Naval Postgraduate School.

Shilling was an early pioneer in the “serious” games movement and was responsible for award winning games for STEM education, medical training, and psychological health.

By May S. Ruiz Freshman: Your children are well into the second semester of 9th grade and are now fully engaged in the academic and extra-curricular life at their school. They should continue focusing on maintaining good grades, or if their first semester marks need improvement, now is the time to turn things around. Time management is of paramount importance as schedules could prove to be challenging with their course load, sports and extra-curriculars all vying for their attention and time.

Your children should start thinking about their summer community service activity. Your student’s college counselor may have some recommendations on community service and other clubs and organizations to develop his or her interests and abilities.

Sophomore:

Your children should stay on top of their grades to ensure the final grades that go on their transcript

education February College Search Guide

are the best they could earn.

The schools they will be applying to will only get to see the entire marks for their first three years in high school. If their first semester grades were not stellar, they need to improve their grades this semester. They need to meet with their grade class dean to make sure their grades and courses are on the right track for graduation. They should know what tests they need to take and register for them (www.collegeboard. com, www.act.org).

It would be a smart move for them to take the SAT subject test the year they take the course while it is still fresh in their mind.

My daughter took her SAT II chemistry test as well as the AP test in May of her sophomore year.

Junior:

I cannot emphasize this enough – junior year is the last complete year that college admissions officers will be looking at when your children send their application. They need to maintain their good grades and extra-curricular activi-

FEBRUARY 11, 2016 - FEBRUARY 17, 2016 | 17

Senior:

ties. If they had good study habits back in 9th grade and have established a routine, they should not be stressing out now. They should have more scheduled meetings with their college counselor to make sure their grades and courses are on track for graduation.

They need to be aware of what standardized tests they should be registering for and taking (SAT I in March, ACT in April or June, SAT II exams in May or June. www.collegeboard.com, www.act.org) Your children’s plans for spring break college visits should be finalized. If they are visiting the colleges on their own (not the high school’s group-arranged tour), they need to call the admissions office to sched-

ule their visit. It would be very ill-advised for parents to be scheduling the college visit for their students.

As much as you want to be hands-on, relinquish control and have your children make the appointments.

Most universities have a morning and an afternoon tour at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

There is usually an information session for an hour and a walking tour afterwards. If they are thinking of applying through early action or early decision, they might want to make an interview appointment with an admission officer (if it is a requirement for application). They might also want to schedule to meet with a current student to learn more about the school, or ask to see the rooming arrangements.

Your children should not take for granted that they are all done with schoolwork because they have sent in their college application.

Do not let them succumb to “senioritis” as third quarter grades are very important in case they are waitlisted.

Also, should they decide or find a need to transfer to another college, senior-year grades will be crucial in the transfer decision.

If your children have received new awards or commendations, or have accomplished something significant since they sent in their college application, they should email this important update to the admissions officer or the area representative of the school they applied to.

The months following the end of the college application process are usually as stressful for seniors as well as parents. While everyone has breathed a sigh of relief that the mad rush is over, the waiting period is just as nerve-racking. In the next few weeks, some college decisions would be trickling in.

Remind your children

to be careful how they share their good news as their friends might be getting some bad news at the same time. If they have been accepted to their “safety school” but are not planning on attending it, they should resist the urge to boast about is as others might have it as their “dream school.”

Most of all, your children need to be patient – the answer will eventually arrive and nothing can hurry it up. Colleges notify at different times and in different ways. They should not read into the timing of the decision letters; their friends getting good news early does not necessarily mean a bad outcome for them.

Your children should confirm with the colleges to make sure they have all the documents they require.

They should continue applying for scholarships (www. scholarships.com, www. collegexpress.com, www. scholarships360.org, www. fastweb.com, www.studentaid.ed.gov, www.affordablecollegesonline.org/graduating-debtfree) and getting their FAFSA ready for submission (www. fafsa.ed.gov).

Cancer Program at Methodist Hospital Earns National Accreditation with Commendation The Commission on Cancer (CoC) of the American College of Surgeons (ACoS) recently granted a Three-Year Accreditation with Commendation to the cancer program at Methodist Hospital of Southern California.

“We are extremely pleased to receive this accreditation from the American College of Surgeons,” said Ginamarie Farino, director of Oncology Services at Methodist Hospital.

“This recognition is a true reflection of the hard work of the skilled doctors,

nurses and staff at Methodist Hospital who provide compassionate, high quality care to our patients every day.”

To earn voluntary CoC accreditation, a cancer program must meet or exceed 34 CoC quality care standards, be evaluated every three years through a survey process, and maintain levels of excellence in the delivery of comprehensive patient-centered care.

Three-Year Accreditation with Commendation is only awarded to a facility that exceeds standard requirements at the time of its triennial survey.

As an accredited cancer center, Methodist Hospital takes a multidisciplinary approach to treating cancer as a complex group of diseases that requires consultation among many specialists including surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists, diagnostic radiologists, pathologists, and other cancer specialists. This multidisciplinary approach is recognized nationally as a way to improve patient outcomes, said Farino.

“At Methodist Hospital, we have worked hard to build a place where cancer patients can find a comforting environment that encourages them to focus on healing,” Farino said.

“In addition, the hospital’s approach to care includes treating the ‘whole person,’ which means by tending to the patient’s physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs.

Treatment is not just about healing the physical body with medication and procedures but about using all resources to improve the spirit as well.”

El Monte City Notices ORDINANCE NO. 2873 2ND READING OF AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL MONTE INSTITUTING A FIVE-YEAR RESTRICTION ON UTILITY CUTS OF NEW PAVEMENT IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY WHEREAS, Section 253 of the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 (47 U.S. Code § 253) recognizes “the authority of … local government to manage the public rights-of-way,” provided that local regulation may not effectively prohibit a company’s ability to provide telecommunications service; and WHEREAS, Article XI, Section 9 of the California Constitution allows cities to establish conditions and regulations over the use of the public right-of-way to supply utility services; and WHEREAS, California Government Code sections 37350 et seq., 38775, and 25353 provide that a municipality may take care of and control its property for the common benefit, and prevent encroachments upon public ways; and WHEREAS, Public Utilities Code section 2902 reserves the right of cities to “regulate the relationship between a public utility and the general public in matters affecting the health, convenience, and safety of the general public, including matters such as the use and repair of public streets by any public utility, [and] the location of the poles, wires, mains, or conduits of any public utility, on, under, or above any public streets …”; and WHEREAS, with respect to telephone companies, Public Utilities Code section 7901.1 gives cities “the right to exercise reasonable control as to the time, place, and manner in which roads … are accessed[,]” provided such control is “applied to all entities in an equivalent manner”; and WHEREAS, Chapter 12.08 (Street and Sidewalk Construction and Improvements) and Chapter 12.20 (Excavations) of Title 12 (Streets, Sidewalks and Public Places) of the El Monte Municipal Code require that all excavation within the public right-of-way to place or maintain utility lines and other facilities be performed under the direction of and to the satisfaction of the City Engineer; and WHEREAS, the City Council annually adopts by resolution a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) that identifies certain anticipated capital projects and potential funding sources, including road work; and WHEREAS, excavations in city streets interfere with transportation and lead to degradation and shortening of the functional life of streets, which imposes costs to the public including street repair and resurfacing.

URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 2874 AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL MONTE EXTENDING THE EXISTING TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW MASSAGE ESTABLISHMENTS AND THE EXPANSION AND/OR RELOCATION OF EXISTING MASSAGE ESTABLISHMENTS FOR A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR THROUGH FEBRUARY 25, 2017 WHEREAS, pursuant to California Constitution Article XI, Section 7, the City of El Monte (the “City”) has the authority to enact local planning and land use regulations to protect the public health, safety, and welfare of the City’s residents through its police power;

and

FEBRUARY 11, 2016 - FEBRUARY 17, 2016 | 19

WHEREAS, the City’s police power provides the right to adopt and enforce zoning regulations; and WHEREAS, in 2008, the California Legislature adopted Senate Bill 731 (“SB 731”), the Massage Therapy Act, which placed substantial limits on the City’s ability to regulate business licensing, zoning, and health, safety, and welfare issues related to massage establishments in the City; and WHEREAS, in response to SB 731, the City Council, on October 20, 2009, adopted a 45-day moratorium, under Urgency Ordinance No. 2747, on the approval of any business license, use permit, or any applicable application related to massage establishments, and/or massage practitioners, pursuant to Government Code Section 65858; and WHEREAS, on November 17, 2009, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 2748, to extend such moratorium for an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days, pursuant to Government Code Section 65858; and WHEREAS, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 2761 on October 19, 2010 extending such moratorium for an additional duration of one year, pursuant to Government Code Section 65858; and WHEREAS, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2779 on October 18, 2011 amending Chapter 5.56 of the El Monte Municipal Code (the “EMMC”) to implement changes mandated under SB 731; and WHEREAS, SB 731’s loosening of cities’ regulatory authority led to the proliferation of massage establishments throughout the City and California, as well as instances of prostitution and other illicit activities in such establishments; and WHEREAS, due to such proliferation, on September 18, 2014, Governor Brown signed Assembly Bill 1147 (“AB 1147”), which returns certain additional regulatory authority to regulate massage establishments to cities; and WHEREAS, AB 1147’s author, Assemblywoman Susan Bonilla, described AB 1147 as “the solution which will help eliminate human trafficking and prostitution in California’s massage therapy establishments”; and WHEREAS, AB 1147, authorizes cities and counties to enforce their zoning requirements on massage establishments under certain restrictions; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code Section 65868(a), the, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 2850 on February 24, 2015, to establish a temporary moratorium on the establishment of new massage establishments an the expansion and/or relocation of existing massage establishments; and WHEREAS, on April 7, 2015, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 2853, to extend such temporary moratorium for an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days, pursuant to Government Code Section 65858; and WHEREAS, under Government Code Section 65868(a), the temporary moratorium extended through Urgency Ordinance No. 2850 expires on February 25, 2016, unless extended for an additional period of one year by the City Council; and WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to extend the existing temporary moratorium established under Urgency Ordinance No. 2850 and extended through Urgency Ordinance No. 2853, for an additional period of one year, pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, in order to allow for the City’s due deliberation necessary to amending EMMC Chapters 5.56 and 17.24 in light of AB 1147; and WHEREAS, the City shall take steps to update EMMC Chapters 5.56 and 17.24 to ensure that it is consistent with the goals, policies, and standards of the General Plan and state law, including AB 1147.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL MONTE, CALIFORNIA DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Recitals. The recitals above are true and correct and incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. Definitions. The meanings of “massage establishment,” “massage establishment certificate,” and “operator permit,” shall be those meanings set forth in EMMC Section 5.56.020.

SECTION 3. Moratorium.

A. In accordance with Government Code Section 65858 and, as initially adopted under Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 2850 and extended under Urgency Ordinance No. 2853, no new massage establishment shall be established, constructed, or permitted in the City. The transfer of a massage establishment from one person or entity to another person or entity shall constitute the establishment of a new massage establishment.

B. The City shall not grant a massage establishment certificate, operator permit, business license, business permit, or certificate of occupancy to a new massage establishment.

C. No existing massage establishment in the City shall be expanded, whether by means of additional space, the construction of a new facility, or by reconfiguration.

SECTION 4. Purpose. This Urgency Ordinance is adopted as an urgency measure pursuant to Government Code Section 65858 and is for the immediate preservation of the public health, safety, and welfare. This Urgency Ordinance is deemed necessary based upon the recitals set forth above and for the following reasons: A. In light of the passage of AB 1147, which reinstates certain local control over massage establishments, this Urgency Ordinance will afford Planning staff and the Planning Commission a reasonable amount of time to study the potential criminal and nuisance activities that certain massage establishments have engaged in the City and how it can utilize AB 1147 to address such activities.

B. A comprehensive set of regulations cannot be enacted without due deliberation and study, and it will take an indeterminate length of time to work out the details of such

legals

20 | FEBRUARY 11, 2016- FEBRUARY 17, 2016 comprehensive regulations. Issuing licenses, permits or other entitlements prior to the completion of the City's study of such establishments poses a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare by enabling parties to evade the operation of potential restrictions, thus defeating in whole or in part the ultimate objective of those restrictions.

C. The revision of EMMC Chapters 5.56 and 17.24 in light of AB 1147 will best protect the public health, safety, and welfare by combatting the deleterious effects seen from the proliferation of massage establishments since SB 731.

D. A comprehensive revision to EMMC Chapters 5.56 and 17.24 requires study, public hearings, and both Planning Commission and City Council review. Such revision cannot be formulated and enacted without due deliberation, which can only be afforded through this Urgency Ordinance.

E. On the basis of the foregoing findings, all evidence on the record, including, but not limited to the accompanying report from staff, the City Council finds that this moratorium is justified under Government Code Section 65858.

SECTION 5. CEQA. This Urgency Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) based on the following findings: A. This Urgency Ordinance is not a “project” within the meaning of Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines as it has no potential for resulting in a physical change in the environment, either directly or indirectly.

B. This Urgency Ordinance is categorically exempt from CEQA under Section 15308 of the CEQA Guidelines, as it is a regulatory action taken by the City pursuant to its police power and in accordance with Government Code Section 65858, to assure the maintenance and protection of the environment and adoption of contemplated local legislation, regulation, and policies.

C. This Urgency Ordinance is not subject to CEQA under the general rule set forth in Section 15601(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines that CEQA only applies to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. For the reasons set forth in subparagraphs (1) and (2), above, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this Urgency Ordinance will have a significant effect on the environment.

SECTION 6. Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this Urgency Ordinance, or any part thereof is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Urgency Ordinance or any part thereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase would be subsequently declared invalid or unconstitutional.

SECTION 7. Effective Date. This Urgency Ordinance shall become effective immediately upon adoption, if adopted by at least four-fifths (4/5) vote of the City Council, and shall be in effect for a period of one year, through February 25, 2017 (one year from the expiration of the terms of Urgency Ordinance No. 2853), as provided for in the Government Code 65858.

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 this property. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site http://www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2015-02316-CA. 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 in-

formation is to attend the scheduled sale.
