N Jan. 30, Ellis, an editor for a press release service and a Black resident of San Dimas, was dressed in his workout clothes and wearing a backpack filled with bricks to increase the intensity of his workout when as he started to walk around his Charter Oak neighborhood in the San Gabriel Valley, a Los Angeles County Sheriff ’s Department cruiser pulled up and directed him to halt. Within moments, Ellis reported that the officer aggressively slammed him against the cruiser hood, frisked and handcuffed him, and tossed him in the backseat of the patrol car. Someone had accused Ellis of peeking into parked vehicles. Ellis, barely 10 minutes

time I didn’t have a chance to come around cars.” The officer, Ellis remembered, acted like everything about him was suspicious. Not having his ID with him didn’t help. Two additional police cars arrived, and the n Hate, see page 8

LA vs Hate program is launched countywide LA vs Hate, the county’s anti-hate program, joined LA County Supervisor Holly Mitchell to kick off United Against Hate Week by unveiling a new mural that celebrates LA County’s Black community at a special event at Willowbrook Senior Center.

HE mural, “It’s All For You,” by Brittney Price, is the fifth and final mural of LA vs Hate’s Summer of Solidarity, a public art series that celebrates the diverse communities of Los Angeles. Launched by the LA County Commission on Human Relations in 2019, LA vs Hate is a community-centered program designed to encourage all residents of Los Angeles County to unite against and report hate, as well as to support those of us who may have been victims of hate-motivated acts. Returning for its fourth annual campaign, LA vs Hate’s United Against Hate Week (UAHW) is part of a statewide call for local civic action to put a stop to the spread of hate and discrimination, which remains a threat to our school campuses, neighborhoods, towns, and cities.

A new anti-hate mural was unveiled in Los Angeles on Saturday, Nov. 11, at the Willowbrook Senior Center to celebrate LA County’s Black community. Muralist, Brittany S. Price gazed up at the mural she created and named, "It's All for You." “The mural welcomes the neighborhood with open arms to the gateway of South Los Angeles by connecting the history and future of Willowbrook's ecology and community. This LA vs Hate mural was created in partnership with Willowbrook Inclusion Network, Brotherhood Crusade and LA Commons, as well as the office of LA County Supervisor Holly Mitchell. Each of LA vs Hate’s five solidarity murals unveiled across LA County conveys inclusion, pride and history of groups experiencing high levels of hate and discrimination, and promotes cross-cultural and interracial solidarity, utilizing

the power of art as part of its strategy to unite diverse communities against hate. This coalition of County leadership and community partners launched United Against Hate Week with a call for peace and unity during a time where world events are causing division and rising rates of hate across LA, state and the nation. This follows the trend at the state and national level where in California hate crimes increased over 20 percent from 2021 to 2022, according to the CA Department of Justice. LAPD reported that in the city of LA, hate crimes grew 15% in 2022, with anti-Black hate crimes jumping 36%, making it among the most targeted for hate crimes along with Latinos, Jews and the LGBTQ+ communities. LA vs Hate leads LA County’s campaign each year, with over 10,000 anti-hate “Comm-Unity” posters going up in areas where hate acts have been reported and on Metro buses and trains; hundreds of hate victims who report to LA vs Hate and 211LA benefiting from free assistance and support to remedies for violations of their rights; and dozens of LA County communities, organizations and individuals organizing pro-

tests, educational events, and art activations – all focused on stopping the hate and preventing hate violence. The press conference and dedication ceremony featured speeches from LA County Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell, President of the L.A. County Commission on Human Relations Ilan Davidson, Executive Director of the LA County Commission on Human Relations Robin Toma, Director of the Los Angeles County Aging & Disabilities Department Laura Trejo, Executive Vice President of Brotherhood Crusade Stacy Hill-Williams, CEO of LA Commons Karen Mack, Willowbrook Inclusion Network Founder Reginald Johnson and poet Shandela Contreras. The ceremony also included remarks from a hate victim who reported an incident to LA vs Hate and shared their story. The community celebration that followed included family-friendly activities, food, as well as dance performances from the Willowbrook Center Senior Line Dancers. “This unveiling is the culmination of residents across Willowbrook and South LA coming together to pay homage to the history of their communities while working to create a brighter future,”

said Los Angeles County Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell. “I want to thank LA vs Hate and all the community partners involved in making this important event possible.

County Commission on Human Relations. Its Executive Director, Robin Toma, added, “When community art is purposed to uplift and unify our communities, we become stronger and resistant to the things that would divide us but right now, more of us need to do something to spread the word about LAvsHate.org as the place to learn, report, get help, and change the policies, practices and cultures that perpetuate hate and discrimination.” “Brotherhood Crusade is honored to stand alongside LA vs Hate, Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell, and our partners in unveiling the 'It's All For You' mural, symbolizing unity in LA County's Black community,” said Charisse Bremond Weaver, President and CEO of Brotherhood Crusade. “This mural illustrates the beauty that emerges when diverse voices come together to spread a message of peace and understanding, and we are so proud to be part of this important movement as part of our commitment to creating a more positive and inclusive South Los Angeles.” “When we experience art and culture together, it enables us to transcend differences and find common ground,” said Karen Mack, CEO of LA Commons. “This mural in Willowbrook and those in the other parts of the County are powerful touchstones providing us with beauty, inspiration n County, see page 8

Video’s VP of Global Operations, Molly Park. Veronica Melvin, President & CEO of LA Promise Fund said: “Our GirlsBuild program has positively benefited more than 120,000 residents and counting. Past projects have successfully advocated for the legalization of street vending, building a solar powered tent

for the homeless, and closing the tech divide for senior citizens. The annual GirlsBuild Summit fuels the girl’s tenacity and leadership to be change makers.” Event chairs for this year’s summit include: Megan Chernin (LA Promise Fund Board Member) and Peter Chernin (CEO, The Chernin Group), Kathleen Kennedy

(President, LucasFilms) and Frank Marshall (Principal, The Kennedy/Marshall Company), US California Senator Alex Padilla, Sue Kroll (Global Head of Marketing, Amazon and MGM Studios), Robbie Brenner (President, Mattel Films), Pamela Abdy and Michael DeLuca (CoChair and CEO of Warner Bros., Motion Picture Group), Alison Temple (CEO, WildCard Creative Group, LA Promise Fund Board Member), and Nick Temple (Founder and Chief Creative Officer, WildCard Creative Group).

Women Business Owners are Optimistic and Confident (StatePoint) Women and men who own small and mid-sized businesses are typically more aligned than they are different in their viewpoints about the economy. Now – more than ever – this is especially true as it relates to their optimism about running their businesses, according to PNC’s latest Economic Outlook Survey. Survey results show that 69% of women and 73% of men are highly optimistic about their business prospects. But women appear to have the edge when it comes to confidence – 69% say they are confident about running their businesses compared to 57% of men. This trend is consistent with last year’s survey responses. In 2022, 8 in 10 women business owners reported feeling very confident in their business success and nearly half credited their confidence to their own hard work and drive. “It stands to reason that those sentiments, together with a few key resources – professional networks, im-

proved access to credit and the agility to navigate the economic landscape – all contribute to a level of confidence that is driving continued optimism this year,” says Beth Marcello, director of PNC Women’s Business Development. ENGAGING IN NETWORKS According to the survey, women-owned businesses are more likely to be engaged with the Small Business Administration, chambers of commerce and other professional groups. In fact, 83% of women business owners participate in business development organizations compared to 64% of men. “Women often credit the benefits of a strong network to winning new business and finding new and better ways of doing business, and we’re supporting that network-building through our relationships with organizations such as global nonprofit Coralus and the Women Presidents Organization,” says Marcello.

(c) fizkes / iStock via Getty Images Plus DECISIONS FOR THE ECONOMIC LANDSCAPE The optimism of women business owners comes through in the survey in specific areas of their enterprises, as 64% expect to see an increase in demand, 65% anticipate an increase in sales, and 56% predict an increase in profits in the next six months. While 57% also have plans to moderately increase prices. “These are just a few indicators of how women are thinking as they make business decisions heading into 2024,” Marcello says. “While

some of their optimism may be tested by continued high inflation and a potential recession, there is strong evidence that they are prepared.” SEEKING CREDIT When PNC began surveying women business owners in 2014, men were more likely to seek credit in the near term. The 2022 survey showed for the first time, women overtaking men when considering a new loan or line of credit to support business growth. This trend continued in 2023, with 26% of women saying they

are likely to seek a near-term business loan or line of credit compared to 23% of men. “While this data could simply reflect changes in the way women are conducting business, it’s evidence that fewer women are intimidated by the traditional process of gaining access to credit for their businesses,” Marcello says. “This is really encouraging.” Dedicated efforts to make more resources available to women entrepreneurs are paying off, says Marcello. At PNC, for example, women can lean on the expertise of 5,000 PNC-Certified Women’s Business Advocates who have a passion for working with women financial decision makers. Through Coralus, entrepreneurs have access to a global support network and a no-interest loan program. “Providing support to entrepreneurs and making access to credit more attainable are important steps toward their ongoing success as well as economic growth overall” says Marcello.

Amplifying the Voices of Caregivers and Families (StatePoint) As we celebrate National Family Caregivers Month, advocates say it’s important to not only honor caregivers’ dedication, compassion, and resilience, but to also acknowledge their challenges and aspirations. Doing so can help families thrive. Here are three ways that can happen: 1. Put families at the center of efforts to help families. Ascend at the Aspen Institute uses the two generation (2Gen) approach long used by Indigenous communities in the United States and around the world. This approach recognizes that the goal of supporting families’ well-being and helping children thrive is most attainable when advancing the interests of children and the adults in their lives together. As one example, Ascend worked with a father who grew up

in poverty, but now serves on his local school board and informs state efforts to help others experiencing homelessness or poverty. 2. Lift voices, build power, expand equity. That’s the refrain of the Raising Child Care Fund, which advises and supports local efforts around the country to expand access to child care. These efforts work best when they are informed and led by parents and caregivers themselves. As a case in point, a network of advocates and parents in New Mexico worked for 12 years to codify a right to child care and early education within the state constitution. 3. Through commitment you can see impact. The Robert Wood John son Foundation has committed itself to some of these principles in its own work, establishing the Family Advisory Committee—a collective of 12 parents and caregiver leaders from across

the country with unique and diverse backgrounds, races and ethnicities, and family dynamics. The group has informed funding and grantmaking decisions by the Foundation, and contributed to efforts to align its own family supportive policies with these principles. To learn more about the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s programs aiming to create a brighter, more supportive future for families and caregivers, visit https://www. rwjf.org/. Initiatives and programs across the country are committed to emphasizing a collective approach that places families at the center of developing effective caregiving solutions. Collaboration is key to engaging families in decision-making processes and internal procedures, and the creation of initiatives that address the diverse needs and aspirations of communities is vital to improve the health and well-being of families today and in the future.

PERSPECTIVE

COMPTON BULLETIN WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2023

The Cookie Monster Has Returned Dr. James L. Snyder Sitting in my office working on some projects, I was suddenly surrounded by a familiar aroma. This surprised me because I had no idea what was happening.

HE more I sniffed, the stronger that aroma became. Then, I had a flash in my head. I recognized that aroma. The aroma coming from the kitchen was freshly baked cookies. It's the time of the year when The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage spends a lot of time making cookies. Should I sneak out to the kitchen and see what she was doing? Leaning back in my chair, I looked around my office and noticed one thing that could help. There was my coffee cup, and it was empty. With a very joyful demeanor, I picked up my cup and marched to the kitchen, expecting to see those cookies. I contemplated what cookies I would see, but there is nothing like seeing them in person. As I entered the kitchen, my wife said, "And why are you coming into the kitchen?"

I'm not a gambler, but I knew I had to lay my cards on the table, or I would be in trouble. "Oh, my dear," I said with a smile, "I'm here to get another cup of coffee." Looking at me with one of her looks, she said, "So, you're not here for any cookies?" Looking at me, she said, "If I give you a cookie, will you stay out of the kitchen for the rest of the day?" I must confess I would do anything for a cookie. So I agreed to this, and she gave me a fresh cookie. I smiled at her and said, "Thank you so

much." Basking in the aroma of that cookie, I headed to my office. What could be better? Munching on that cookie was the best thing I had done all morning. I don't know how she does it, but she makes the best cookies in the world. My wife popped into my office with another cookie and said, "I gotta run across town to get something for my cookies. Here's another cookie if you promise not to come into the kitchen while I'm gone." The cookie disappeared rather quickly, and my wife had been gone for at least half

an hour, and all I could think of was cookies, cookies, cookies. Getting up out of my chair, I slowly walked toward the kitchen. As you go into our kitchen on the right, a table connects with the kitchen sink. I noticed on that table piles of freshly baked cookies. I thought of my agreement with her that I would not go into the kitchen, and I stood there, reached my arm around the corner, found several cookies, picked them up, and returned to my office. I think I got away with some more cookies.

Not long after that, I heard The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage come into the house and go into the kitchen. Then I heard her say, "Oh, the cookie monster has returned." I then knew I was in trouble. A scripture verse came to my mind, “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin” (James 4:17). Ouch! I think I know what to do. Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage, here I come. Dr. James L. Snyder can be reached by e-mail at jamessnyder51@gmail.com.

A Place at the Table By Marian Wright Edelman, Founder and President Emerita, Children’s Defense Fund I’ve shared before the description of an editorial cartoon my father kept pinned up in the vestibule of our church that made a deep impression on me I have never forgotten. It was a black and white drawing by the Pulitzer Prize-winning artist Herblock that was originally published in the Washington Post in October 1947. The picture showed a group of well-dressed, happy people sitting at a banquet table overflowing with place settings, goblets, and so much food the table cannot hold any more: a roast, gravy boats, bread and butter, covered dishes, heaping

platters of sides. Hovering behind them and filling the rest of the image is a crowd of gaunt, wide-eyed hungry children dressed in rags. There are too many of these skeletal figures to count; the starving masses go on and on into the distance. Back at the table, one of the dinner guests is speaking cheerfully to his smiling companions. The caption reads: “Shall we say grace?” Shall we say grace? In his last book, Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community? Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote: “Not too many years ago, Dr. Kirtley Mather, a Harvard geologist, wrote a book entitled Enough and to Spare. He set forth the basic theme that famine is wholly unnecessary in the modern world.

Today, therefore, the question on the agenda must read: Why should there be hunger and privation in any land, in any city, at any table, when man has the resources and the scientific know-how to provide all mankind with the basic necessities of life?” Dr. King went on: “There is no deficit in human resources; the deficit is in human will…The well-off and the secure have too often become indifferent and oblivious to the poverty and deprivation in their midst. The poor in our countries have been shut out of our minds, and driven from the mainstream of our societies, because we have allowed them to become invisible. Ultimately a great nation is a compassionate nation. No individual or nation

can be great if it does not have a concern for ‘the least of these.’” Do we have the will to be truly great? As Americans celebrate Thanksgiving in a few weeks, many people will indeed be deeply blessed and grateful to be able to gather with family and friends around a table that looks like the one in the cartoon, with “enough and to spare.” The tablecloth and menu might be fancier for the holiday, but in many homes, the basic sight of a table with enough food for everyone to eat what they like and go to bed full is an everyday occurrence. Thanksgiving may be the only meal of the year when some families pause together long enough to truly give thanks for the food in front of them.

But there are millions of others who never take a seat at the dinner table for granted. There were 44 million people in our nation living in food insecure households last year. These neighbors are likely not choosing between apple or pumpkin pie, but between paying for groceries or for rent, heat, electricity, medicine, or clothing. Pandemic-era emergency supports that helped close gaps in food insecurity ended in recent months, but hunger certainly did not. Yet some programs that parents and children rely on for essential food remain at risk for cuts. Until our nation makes a permanent change in “concern for ‘the least of these,’” there will be millions still searching for their place at America’s table of plenty.

Herbert’s superlative’s effort not enough to overcome Lions By Dennis J. Freeman INGLEWOOD, Calif. Justin Herbert had a phenomenal Sunday afternoon throwing the football against the Detroit Lions. How good was Herbert? Well, for the first time since September, the Los Angeles Chargers quarterback cracked the 300-yard passing marker in a game. and did not take a sack. convert a huge fourth down maybe the story looks enough to come within one

LL totaled, Herbert passed for 323 yards and tossed four touchdowns as the Chargers put 38 points on the scoreboard against the AFC North visitors. Putting up 38 points and going over 300 yards in passing along with multiple touchdowns should be enough to win most football games. “I thought that Justin was fantastic in the game,” Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said after the game. “I thought he gave us a chance. We started off slow in the game, but then we scored on our last five drives of the football game. I thought we felt like we could move the football, run our paths. I thought the pace really helped us. He made a couple big plays with his legs. I think in that those critical down-and-distances, the third downs and the fourth downs, we were really good.” As special as Herbert played, the Chargers fell short of points against the Lions. That’s because thanks to well-balanced offensive game-planning, Detroit piled up 533 yards in total offense and escaped with a 41-38 win, thanks to a 41yard field goal with no time left in the game by Riley Patterson. There's a lot of fight in this team,” said Herbert, who completed 27 of 40 passes

“Obviously, not the outcome that we would have wanted, but those guys didn't quit. Offense, defense, special teams, they gave everything they had for all four quarters, and we fell short. It wasn't good enough today, but I don't question the effort, the dedication by this team." The matchup between the Chargers and the Lions was a back-and-forth chess match with the team holding the ball last likely to win the game. After the Chargers tied the game at the 3: 34 mark in the fourth quarter following a 38-yard touchdown pass from Herbert to Keenan Allen, the Lions played keep away from Los Angeles for the rest of the game. "Well, we had the ball last,” Detroit head coach Dan Campbell said. “Yeah, I wanted to finish with the ball. I trusted our guys and trust [Lions QB Jared] Goff. Going into that situation, there can be a lot of time left if you kick a field goal. So, I just wanted to finish with the ball in our hands. I liked where we're at, offensively We're playing good, Goff was in a good spot, I felt like that was the right thing to do." Herbert and the Chargers’ offense couldn’t get their hands on the ball again and had to watch the Lions

play on the last drive of the game to put themselves in position to win the ballgame. "Losing is never fun, but I thought that we battled today,” Herbert said. “There are a lot of good things that we can look at this film and say, 'We can build off this.' But, there were a lot of things in the first quarter that we didn't do a good job of, and I didn't do a good job of in the first quarter. If we're not fighting back, maybe the story goes differently. Those are the things that we're going to look at when we watch this film and realize, 'Hey, at least we turned it around, we did our best in the second half, but if we're not put in that position, if I'm not turning the ball over in the first quarter,

different.'” Things certainly would have turned out differently if the Chargers had gotten off to a faster start. The Chargers gave up 10 points in the first quarter and before they could blink, found themselves down 17-3 in the second period. The Chargers got back into the game by playing with a lot of urgency. That manifested into the Chargers running a no-huddle offense for the greater part of the rest of the game. The move proved to be effective. With Herbert and the offense moving with more fluidity, the Chargers cut Detroit’s lead

score. It also allowed the Chargers to score 21 points in the second half. Herbert said the nohuddle offense was something that was birthed out of necessity and gameplanning. "I think, maybe, a little bit of both,” Herbert remarked. “Having to come back like that, offensively, not being able to move the ball in the first quarter like that, I think it's one of those things that we looked at and said, 'Hey, if we get on the ball, maybe we can start scoring some points like that. We can cut the deficit a little bit.'"

The two men have the same bonding link in that both Burroughs and Hunter are natives of Compton. Although the track team does not have a regular home to practice on, the Compton Electric Speed team members are faithful. “Unfortunately, there isn't any track available or open for any track program to practice on,” Burroughs said by email. “We organize practice anywhere we are able to, parks, beaches, etc. Our track club isn't a huge track club on purpose, we have 25 kids on our team. It gives our program the ability to develop our athletes to reach their maximum abilities.” The Compton Electric Speed participated in the 2023 USATF Junior Olympics in Eugene, Oregon, where they took 11 athletes and brought home a total of 23 medals, two national records and a total of 4 national titles. Also, with fundraising and the efforts of amazing parents, the team was able to compete in the 2023 AAU Junior Olympics in Des Moines, Iowa as well. The Compton Electric Speed team took a total of 12 athletes and brought back a total of 20 medals and a national title and a host of All-American honors.

The new central building will feature a culinary arts kitchen and medical and art facilities with specialized equipment and technology. The athletic fields will also be redesigned and rebuilt to enhance athletic and physical activities.

“Through the hard work of teachers and staff, leaders, community and partners, we have been able to restore the standard of excellence that our Lynwood Unified students deserve,” Superintendent Gudiel R.

Latinx youth in gun prevention programs, the hyper-sexualization of Asian women and the crimes in the U.S. motivated by race and gender, and how partisan media has spurred rightwing extremism. Researchers discovered that hate speech on social media affected 80% of fifth to 12th graders with 47% cyberbullied. Additionally, 75% of unhoused peoples experienced discrimination within a month, with over half stating they had been harassed or threatened. The project will launch a podcast series within the next year and work in partnership with the California Commission on the State of Hate to develop resources and guidance

for governments and communities to reduce and respond to hate activity. Another partnership with UCLA’s Alan D. Leve Center for Jewish Studies will put a spotlight on antisemitism in the U.S. and across the globe. The research is set to continue. A team will explore historical approaches to combat hate and how its definition can hinder its mitigation. Another group will broaden its study of hate and cyberbullying on social media to include college students. Other researchers will analyze hate’s impact on youth and the media and information landscape, racism in childbirth, and anti-Black hate.

deputy who detained Ellis said they would release him if they could verify that no crimes had occurred. Ultimately, Ellis was released. After a tense exchange with the deputy, he walked home and told his wife what occurred. Ellis’ dad filed a complaint at a sheriff’s station. The actions and presumed biases of the person who called 911 and the Latino deputy who detained Ellis were rooted in hate, Ellis believed. “I can’t think of any other reason someone would call the police on me and say some heinous, straight-up lies unless it was race based,” he said. “As far as the actions of the police,

they were just responding to a call. How I was treated though — they didn’t give me a certain benefit of the doubt they would have given other people.” UCLA’s Initiative to Study Hate aims to understand and mitigate the kind of hate Ellis experienced at the hands of law enforcement and other forms this societal issue takes. For example, how hate shows up in groups, institutions and even organizations that form to fight against it. The three-year social impact project, launched in October 2022 with the support of a $3 million unanimous donation, brings together scholars from various specialties to explore topics such as the impact

of social media hate speech on youths, racial bias in health care settings, the neurobiology underlying hate, and the unexpected areas where hate appears in daily life. The initiative’s director, David Myers, the UCLA Sady and Ludwig Kahn Professor of Jewish History, recently said in a press release that hate is pervasive and vexing. “But in just one year, we have gained important new insights into how it functions and how we might better address it,” he said. During the study’s first year, researchers investigated topics including the treatment of Black youth experiencing suicidal thoughts, the roles of Black and

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 or (888) 9023989 or visit these internet websites or www.nestortrustee.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2023-06317-CA.

COMPTON BULLETIN WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2023 to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANTS: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call or (888) 902-3989 or visit these internet websites or www.nestortrustee.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2023-06317CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale.

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 or (888) 9023989 or visit these internet websites or www.nestortrustee.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2023-06317-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 information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANTS: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call or (888) 902-3989 or visit these internet websites or www.nestortrustee.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2023-06317CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Street Address or other common designation of real property: 12714- 12716 SOUTH MONA BLVDCOMPTON, CALIFORNIA 90222Described as follows: As more fully described in said Deed of Trust A.P.N #.: 6154-030-014The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. 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 (866) 266-7512 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub.com, using the file number assigned to this case 23-65198. 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. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (866) 266-7512, or visit this internet website www.elitepostandpub.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2365198 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling approximately $74,750.26 in the form of certified check or cashier's check made out to the Secretary of HUD.

‘THE MARVELS’ DOES NOT MEASURE UP TO OTHER MARVEL FILMS By Bob Garver help The fall from glory of the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues with “The Marvels.” This is not to say that this movie is the “worst” the MCU has ever put out (for one thing, there’s no M.O.D.O.K. in sight), but the franchise has seen better days, both commercially and creatively. I think the problem lies with its middling ambition. It tries to upgrade elements that had been previously relegated to the small-screen when it probably should have made the hard decision to downgrade some bigscreen elements.

HEN villain Dar-Benn (Zawe Ashton) tears a hole in the universe, Carol “Captain Marvel” Danvers (Brie Larson) goes to investigate and is countered by Dar-Benn’s minions. Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) works on solving the problem from a space station under the supervision of Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson). Meanwhile, teenager Kamala “Ms. Marvel” Khan (Iman Vellani) just hangs out in her room in Jersey City, fantasizing about using her mutant powers to

the Avengers, especially Captain Marvel. Suddenly the three switch places and are instantly in different settings. Without trying, they switch places several more times, ending up on the alien planet, the space station, or Kamala’s family home. Carol’s cat-like pet Goose also gets caught up in the switching, as do some of the similarly-bewildered henchmen, who nevertheless keep the battle going. After much confusion and hijinks, the day is won, but Carol, Monica, and Kamala all need to convene on a spaceship to sort things out. They determine that using their light-based powers at the same time is what causes the switch. They’d like to get a better handle on the matter, but Dar-Benn needs to be stopped before she tears the whole universe apart. The film’s action sequenc-

es mostly consist of the trio doing what they can with their individual powers, even though their individual powers may not be what’s needed at the moment. Staying close together means that the same three people are basically in the same place (hence why the inexperienced Kamala needs to be on the spaceship), but separations are inevitable. On the other hand,

and this is learned through experience, the system also means that one can swap themselves out for another if the situation calls for the other person’s powers. It's fun watching the characters having to adapt to new settings in the midst of an action sequence. It’s also fun watching them train to become fluent in switching. They visit a planet at one point where people only communicate in musical numbers, and of course that’s fun. A sequence toward the end with Goose is one of the most fun Marvel has ever put out. And yet the film never succeeds on a level higher than “fun.” “The Marvels” lacks the gravitas that one expects from the MCU – especially on the big screen. Heck, it lacks the characters one expects from the MCU on the big screen.

Yes, Captain Marvel had her own movie back in 2019 and was an important part of “Avengers: Endgame,” but so far the adult version of Monica Rambeau and the entire character of Ms. Marvel haven’t been proven outside of streaming on the small screen. And I think a streaming series would have been a better fit for this chapter of the MCU. Given some of the qualms I have with “The Marvels,” a streaming series makes total sense. The movie’s visit to singing planet Aladna seems rushed, maybe it could get its own episode. A minor conflict about Carol never returning to Earth to see Monica could be further explored instead of briefly mentioned and forgotten, all seemingly because an outline of the script called for a dramatic moment. Dar-Benn herself could be developed beyond a thousand-yard stare that’s practically begging to be mocked. Most importantly, home viewing is more conducive to the hangout atmosphere where these characters thrive. I know that the MCU can produce hits for both the movies and home, but it needs to make better decisions about which properties should be which. Grade: C “The Marvels” is rated PG-13 for action/violence and brief language. Its running time is 105 minutes. Contact Bob Garver at rrg251@nyu.edu.

Former Peacock Communications chief signs with literary agent Traci Saulsberry, who was most recently SVP, Communications for Peacock, has signed with a literary agent and is prepping her own tome. Saulsberry, who worked on shows such as Bel Air, Girls5eva and The Voice during her time at the media conglomerate, has signed with ArtHouse Literary Agency. She will be repped by founder Felice Laverne. It comes as she is preparing Inside

A Black Girls Journal, a “guidebook to finding your voice”. Saulsberry and ArtHouse, which specializes in authors with diverse voices and perspectives, are about to go to market with the proposal. Laverne, who has edited books such as Zerlina Maxwell’s The End of White Politics, and Paola Ramos’ Finding Latinx: In Search of the Voices Redefining Latino Identity,

launched the agency in 2021. Saulsberry left NBCU at the end of last year. She also oversaw communications for shows such as Saved By The Bell. Before taking on the Peacock job, she was SVP, Communications at NBC, where she oversaw unscripted series and its alternative studio, working on shows such as America’s Got Talent and the Golden Globes.
