Transit Task Force Succeeds as Transition to First Transit, Inc. Approaches Monica SANCHEZ monicaadeline2@gmail.com
A
rcadia is changing companies for its transit system to better suit the needs of seniors and disabled citizens. On Aug. 15, the Arcadia City Council officially approved the transition to a new company, First Transit, Inc., a change that a task force assembled of five seniors and disabled citizens has been vying after for two years. City Manager Dominic Lazzaretto said, “We’ve been in a transition for the last 18 to 24 months going from a basic dial-a-ride system to a full service transit system,” and he added that First Transit, Inc. will provide “a new service at an affordable cost but also at service levels that the system needs in order to be successful.” Currently, Southland Transit serves Arcadia’s transit needs and has done so for 30 years, but issues that violate ADA law have proven the need for this change to First Transit, Inc. Arcadia’s transit service was primarily being used by students, making it difficult for seniors and disabled citizens to receive proper care and attention or get a ride at all. With not much room left for seniors or the disabled, those who were able to get a ride still experienced problems with Southland’s service. Marshall, explained that “Some of the girls in wheelchairs
The dial-a-ride transit system is reserved for seniors and the disabled, but students in need of transit services may use Arcadia’s fixed-route transit system. - Photo by Terry Miller / Beacon Media News

Retirement Homes: A New Family in Old Age
- Photo by Terry Miller / Beacon Media News
In this day and age, people are constantly looking to feel connected. While some seek to find their sense of connectedness through social media, others in different interests, very little expect to find it within the confines of the retirement center. For many, the words ‘retirement home’ often
brings about several negative connotations—with scenes of no privacy, little independence, and extreme depression. Yet, despite its bad reputation, more and more elderly have turned to these homes to find a community. In a way, many have found a family within. Enter the Arcadia Gardens Retirement Hotel, a large expanse of a building located in the midst of a small residential street. This retirement center is only one of six

For around 23 percent of Arcadia’s total population, this community is vital. Sheila Kinney, an activity director at Arcadia Gardens commented, “[We provide] a whole wide variety [of SEE PAGE 11

South Pasadena Lane Shift on Westbound Foothill Freeway Father Sentenced to I-210 for Pavement Rehabilitation 25 years-to-Life for Murdering 5-Year-Old Son
Beginning the week of Sept. 11, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will make temporary changes along westbound Foothill Freeway (I-210) from Lincoln Avenue to Foothill Blvd. Construction crews will restripe and shift lanes towards the median. Both eastbound and westbound inner shoulders will be used as traffic lanes. The eastbound inner shoulder will become a temporary bypass lane for westbound traffic. A concrete barrier will separate the eastbound traffic and the westbound bypass lane for the safety of motorists. Two outer lanes on westbound I-210 will close as crews begin to replace the pavement along the freeway. The bypass lane allows all traffic lanes on westbound I-210 to remain open while work is underway, which will be in effect through spring 2018. The Foothill Freeway is a major thoroughfare, serving

commuters between Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties. As a result of heavy use, the road needs to be replaced with new pavement. The temporary traffic
lane shift and closures are part of a $148.5 million pavement rehabilitation project on I-210. Once the project is completed in 2018, the new surface will provide a smoother drive
for motorists, reduce time required for maintenance, and minimize the need for further lane closures. Motorists are advised to “Be Work Zone Alert.”
A South Pasadena man was sentenced today to 25 years to life in state prison for killing his 5-year-old son, whose remains were found months after he vanished, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced. Aramazd Andressian Sr., 35, was sentenced by Los
Angeles County Superior Court Judge Cathryn Broughman in an Alhambra courtroom. Earlier this month, Andressian pleaded guilty to one count of firstdegree murder. Deputy District Attorney Craig Hum of the Major SEE NEXT PAGE

hen a collegeaged Sylvia Domotor told her mother she planned on becoming an astronaut, the reply was simple: You’re going to be a veterinarian. When Domotor completed her undergraduate degree and declared herself a future anthropologist, the answer was still clear—veterinary medicine was her future. As it turned out, mom was right. Dr. Domotor’s Animal House has served Monrovia for more than 20 years. In that time, she’s expanded a small hospital to a full-service practice including surgical and dentistry services, an in-house lab, pharmacy and boarding kennel. Even in times of economic struggle, “I never worried,” said Domotor. “I had a loyal client following, and I knew
business

I’d be okay.” Open six days a week, Domotor and her skilled staff have seen it all: from emotional farewells to the spectacular comebacks of pets on the brink. Their success rate is based largely on their cumulative knowledge of each animal. “The treatment I recommend for a two-year-old Labrador who spends every afternoon at the dog park is going to be completely different than a lap dog that stays indoors,” said Domotor. When determining treatment, she examines their nutrition, husbandry and lifestyle to ensure her recommendations align with what the family can manage. Above all, she listens to the client’s observations. “Even if I can’t immediately see what they’re seeing, nine times out of ten, they’re right,” said Domotor. “I’ve learned to listen and respect what the family is saying. It’s a partnership.”
Helping so many families (Domotor’s preferred term instead of “owners”) has allowed Domotor to develop proven best practices to keep pets healthy. She often gives a talk entitled “How to Put Your Vet Out
of Business,” on how pet owners can extend the lives of their furry friends. “Spay, neuter and vaccinate,” she affirmed, citing deadly health problems like cancer, parvo and pyometra that can be prevented or
cured when you sterilize and vaccinate your pet. She also recommends having vaccines administered at a vet hospital instead of a pet store clinic. “Just because a vaccine is available doesn’t mean it’s right for your pet,” Domotor continued. “A licensed veterinarian will know how to analyze your pet’s age, breed and lifestyle to choose only the vaccines they actually need.” Domotor portions her time between the hospital and people in her town. A former champion for Relay for Life, she’s extremely active with the local Rotary Club as donations chair, where she heads up charitable events, kids’ camps and scholarship programs. Even so, she still finds herself coming into the animal house on the weekends, too. It’s all part of expanding services to meet community need. “We’re going to be offering overnight emer-
gency care in the next few months, including weekends and holidays, and eventually physical therapy and rehab,” said Domotor. “It’s just a matter of getting the right staffing in place.” With so many animals in need, treating the ill and injured can take an emotional toll. Yet Domotor knows her purpose. “Medicine works,” she said. And Monrovia’s menagerie of healthy pets agrees. Dr. Domotor’s Animal House is located at 135 W. Foothill Blvd. in Monrovia. Contact them at (626) 303-7881, or at www.drdomotorsanimalhouse.com and follow Dr. Domotor’s on Facebook @drdomotor.

Local Agent Will Buy Your Home for Cash 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

‘The Royals of Pasadena Exhibit Reigns at the Pasadena Museum of History from the Royal Court wardrobe, accessories and ephemera. “The exhibition reveals shifting fashion styles,” explains Verlaque. “The entire show makes for a fabulous historical display, really. I hope that the ‘Royals of Pasadena’ manifests the pageantry and lavishness associated with the Royal Court.” But the Rose Parade is so much more than a beauty pageant. It is a renowned annual Pasadena tradition that has endured world wars and all manner of political strife. The Queen and her Court continue to gracefully perform their numerous community service functions through them all. For young women in the area, being part of the Royal Court is a transformative opportunity they hope to experience. A hundred years since the first Rose Queen was crowned, it is still an institution that remains relevant to the times we live in.
May s. ruiz MayChu@att.net
T
he history of the Rose Parade began on January 1, 1890 when members of the Valley Hunt Club reimagined the American version of the festival of roses in Nice, France. They staged a procession of flower-decked horse and buggies and an afternoon of public games on the town lot east of Los Robles between Colorado Blvd. and what was then Santa Fe Street. The story of the Rose Queen and Royal Court, however, did not begin until 15 years since the parade first traveled the streets of Pasadena. By 1895 the parade had become a massive undertaking for the Valley Hunt Club to fund and manage on its own. The Tournament of Roses (TofR) was formed during a public hearing and a community subscription campaign raised $595 to underwrite the expenses of the 1896 Rose Parade. The first Rose Queen was Hallie Woods who, in 1905, was chosen by her classmates at Pasadena High School. She had sewn her own gown and helped to decorate the float on which she rode. But those days of class voting and selfmade garments are long gone. Today, selection of the Queen to preside over the parade takes on an immense process involving thousands of young women and hundreds of volunteers. The 100th Rose Queen in 2018 will be crowned in October. In honor of this milestone, the Pasadena Museum of History (PMH) will present an exhibition celebrating TofR’s

Royal Court from September 2, 2017 through February 11, 2018. This colorful and historical display will feature previous Rose Queens’ and Princesses’ gowns, daywear, accessories and jewelry lent for the exhibit by former members of the Royal Court. It will also highlight Queens’ crowns from the last hundred years, on loan from TofR. Laura Verlaque, PMH’s director of collec-
tions, reveals, “We’ve had a long partnership with TofR – we’ve collaborated with them in the past. In 2013 we put on an exhibit about Pasadena anniversaries which included the Tournament of Roses because it was commemorating an important landmark.” The show features about 30 queens’ and princesses’ coronation gowns from every decade starting with 1940, along with outfits
com. This gown was designed and sewn by Pasadena dressmaker Margie Mudgett. It was known as the “Camelot” gown. (Right) 1987 Rose Princess Gown Periwinkle blue taffeta, one shoulder Loan courtesy of Princess Mary-Sandra Brock Davis. - Photos by Aaron Gil

Pasadena Pops Goes to the Arboretum Michael Feinstein and the Pasadena Pops celebrate Gershwin and Friends Susan motander motander@yahoo.com
Add a Saturday night picnic before an evening of Gershwin and Gershwin-inspired music in the wonderful Los Angeles County Arboretum, and you have the recipe for a delightful evening. Such was the case last Saturday night, on Aug. 19, with perfect weather as an added bonus. The Pasadena Pops hold concerts under the stars at the Arboretum each summer. A large number of those include Michael Feinstein as principal conduc-
tor. He held the baton on Saturday to conduct the music of George Gershwin – the master of 20th century American music -- and other composers inspired by him. He was joined by soloists Rachel York and Jordon Danica. York’s voice is a powerful instrument and she truly seems to have fun sharing her gift. But Danica, who is currently appearing here in Los Angeles in the Broadway hit “Hamilton,” moved the audience to its feet. Part of the pleasure in the concert on Saturday was discovering good friends already seated at
the table to which they were assigned. One who seemed to especially enjoy this was five-year-old Daniel Baker-Garcia. His joy in watching the performances and listening to the music enhanced everyone else’s pleasure as well. At one point he even began dancing a five-year-old’s version of the Mambo to Lenoard Bernstein’s music. However it was the dance duo that most fascinated him. At one point during an impressive lift, Daniel’s eyes grew huge and he simply muttered, “Wow”! That rather summed up the evening.

72 Year Old Man Collides with Delivery Truck causing Vehicle to Overturn Monday, Aug. 14 At 10:04 a.m., Rescue Ambulance 106, Truck 105, Battalion 105, and Monrovia Engine 102 responded to the 5000 block of Peck Road on a traffic collision involving an overturned delivery truck. Fire crews arrived to find a 72-year-old male driver in an altered level of consciousness after colliding into a delivery truck and pickup truck. Paramedics provided advanced life support measures on scene including spinal assessment, oxygen therapy, intravenous therapy, and 12-lead cardiac monitoring.

have been stuck in the past when we had Southland.” Southland was either late in picking up passengers or did not show up, and passengers experienced difficulties in reaching Southland through dispatch. Until First Transit, Inc. takes over on Oct. 1, Southland will continue serving Arcadia on a month-tomonth contract. The $8,248,078 fiveyear contract with First Transit, Inc. is going to provide improved service as well as updated technology. Council member Roger Chandler said “it was far better to pay a little extra money to get the service that we need. We do have
people with special needs, and they need to be treated according to the law.” First Transit, Inc. will provide real time bus location and arrival information through a mobile phone app. App users will receive an arrival status notification, so they do not have to wait outside in the hot sun for their ride as they have had to in the past. Travelers are also able to call the night before and get an appointment the next day with First Transit, Inc., which is a significant improvement as opposed to the previous service, which Marshall said “Sometimes if we called a week in advance, we still couldn’t get an appointment because of
the students.” Arcadia’s transit dial-a-ride system is reserved for seniors, 62 and older, and the disabled, but students in need of transit services can use the fixed route system. While happy with the change to First Transit, Inc., Marshall hopes that, in the future, the city will allow “the transit go outside the city limits at least one day a week, maybe two, eventually to go to doctor’s appointments.” And Jolly Wu, member of the Transit Task Force, hopes that First Transit, Inc. “will follow the contract and follow the ADA law. I know we are a great city. I know we are a great country. Please follow the ADA law.”

activities] to bring a sense of community. Because they’re giving up a lot: they’re leaving their homes and it’s a big adjustment, and so we want to keep them happy, and engaged … and thinking of it like a new fun chapter in their lives.” Meet Kay Obler, a resident who sleeps on a couch every night in what she calls her ‘living room.’ Forced to move into a retirement center because of landlord problems, Kay was not exactly thrilled to move. Yet, she continues to have a contented air about her. “I still have my car. I still drive. I still go out,” She said with a small smile. “I’m very involved in several activities outside of the retirement home. … I do a lot of activities around different places and I do love to go to the theater! … I’ve been here now two years, and I’ve made a lot of friends—a lot of people who I really enjoy.” However, Kay is not happy merely because she is involved—although that is a big part—but it is her positive attitude and contin-

ual interaction with people that makes the center feel increasingly like home to her. On the other hand, unlike Kay, many who go to retirement centers cannot take care of themselves, and stay as a means of safety and care rather than of finding friends. But it is oftentimes the community around them that helps them amidst their struggles. Kento Sie, a personal caregiver at the Arcadia Retirement Village, remarked, “I think one of the biggest [ways people can help the elderly] is listening
to what they have to say. … [People should] just help them, and listen to them and try to understand them. That transition from an independent life to one depending on others is really difficult so you want to be there to help alleviate that.” Retirement centers are not for everybody. But they provide an alternative to the loneliness that many— not just the elderly—feel. And, despite its often dated appearance and faded furniture, they more importantly give people a place to call home.

New State Guidelines Will Improve Services for Students With Dyslexia State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson announced that the California Department of Education (CDE) posted new online guidelines to assist
teachers and parents in identifying students with dyslexia and to plan, provide, evaluate, and improve education services. Dyslexia is a specific learning disabil-
- Courtesy photo
ity that is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition, and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. The Legislature two years ago passed AB 1369, which required the CDE to consult with a stakeholder group of teachers, school administrators, education professionals, medical professionals, parents and others involved in educating students with dyslexia. The bill also required the CDE to post the new guidelines on the Department’s website for the 2017-18 school year. “I want to thank all the dedicated people who came together and worked hard to produce the guidelines that will help identify students with dyslexia, evaluate their individual needs and improve educational services,” Torlakson said. “The ability to read is a fundamental skill in modern society. Yet for people with dyslexia, this
ability can be frustratingly out of reach.” The goal of the California Dyslexia Guidelines is to provide practical information and resources for identifying and supporting students who may have dyslexia. The expert group met for more than a year to assist the CDE in the development of the guidelines, which are available with other information on this CDE webpage. These new guidelines are also part of a broader effort by the CDE to increase literacy skills for all California students through supporting struggling readers. In 2015, the CDE published the English Language Arts/ English Language Development Framework for California Public Schools: Kindergarten through Grade Twelve (ELA/ELD Framework). The ELA/ELD Framework supports students with a wide range of language development needs.
Language learning for digital nomads Philip Seifi, Guest Contributor I've spent the past few years as a digital nomad, with all my possessions tightly packed in one carry-on luggage. While on the road, I've been learning six different languages, and running [LinguaLift] (https://lingualift.com/), an online course for language self-learners. The minimalist lifestyle provides freedoms I could not give up now, but it also comes with limitations of its own. Working around these limitations is part of the fun; however, they force you to think outside of the box and stay on the edge of progress at all times. Language learning is not an easy endeavor, and the
constraints of permanent travel only make it more challenging. Below, I provide tips that will help you make as much progress on the road, as you did from the comfort of your permanent home. Choose an online course adapted to self-learners. For most, their language learning journey starts in a bookstore. Paper textbooks still dominate the industry, both in educational institutions and among autodidacts. Indeed, only 5 percent of language learning worldwide relies upon digital resources! As a digital nomad, you of course don't have the luxury of dragging around hefty workbooks, let alone a full dictionary. For fiction, you likely already own a Kindle or other e-reader. While it can be a
great tool for intermediate learners who are ready to crunch through native material with the help of the built-in dictionary, the choice of actual learning material is unfortunately very lackluster. Very few good language textbooks have been adapted to digital ink, likely because of draconian publishing deals, and even bilingual graded readers tend to be unusable on the small screen with no support for sideby-side layouts. Your only option, therefore, is to look online instead. Read Full Length Article at, ArcadiaWeekly.com, PasadenaIndependent.com & MonroviaWeekly.conm

Lompoc is yet another hidden gem off California's Central Coast1. As I found out recently, the town is full of delightful discovery. My getaway to the Lompoc began when a friend and I drove from Los Angeles, along the beautiful Santa Barbara coast to Highway 1. Then it was through lush, rolling hills speckled with cows, horses and llamas. After a few miles we took Exit 132 toward Lompoc and discovered a charming city, bubbling with a burgeoning wine industry, an eclectic art scene, gourmet restaurants, a horse haven, and a fascinating history. In town, we checked into a clean and comfortable suite at the Holiday Inn Express that came with a king bed, mini-fridge, microwave, large flat screen TV, an office area and free hi-speed Internet. Besides a great, centralized location, the hotel boasts a heated pool, business center, a fitness room and a tasty, complimentary hot buffet breakfast each morning. With home base set, we headed to the "Wine Ghetto" to find out more about one of Lompoc's newest attraction - fine wines! This industrial area of town features a collection 20 or so tasting rooms offering wines
Living La Vida Lompoc from the nearby Sta. Rita Hills region. For people in the know, the "Ghetto" has become a Mecca for world-class, artisan wine production. Thanks to a rare east-west hill orientation and calcium-rich soil composition, Lompoc is a perfect place to produce wine and is in fact, currently making some of California's best Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and other cool climate wines. At the "Ghetto" we discovered La Montagne Winery (www.lamontagnewinery. com), met owner Kimberly Smith, and sampled some of her award-winning Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, and Tempranillo. The next day strolled through Old Town Lompoc with a local artist/guide to examine the city's renown murals. Painted on nearly 40 structures across town, the Murals of Lompoc tell a story of Lompoc’s heritage, flower industry, historic sites, ethnic diversity, scenic beauty and more. One of the biggest and most interesting of the paintings is "Diatomaceous Mining," located on the old Chamber of Commerce building. This giant abstract mural depicts the city's rich history of mining the white powdery substance called diatomaceous earth, which is used for every- Photo by Greg Aragon

thing from filtration purposes to mild abrasives found in toothpastes and cat litter. Another cool mural is "The Boatmen," painted by artist John Pugh. This colorful piece looks 3D, as it shows a WWII battleship with a Native American boat cutting through its hull. The latter work of art is painted on the wall of Sissy's Uptown Cafe (www.sissysuptowncafe.com), where we enjoyed a memorable bowl of clam chowder, a roast beef sandwich and a slice of homemade coconut cream pie. We concluded our getaway to the Lompoc area with a visit to Return to Freedom Horse Sanctuary (www.returntofreedom.org). If you love horses then this place is a must for here one can learn about the history and challenges facing wild horses in America and get up-close to some of the most unique and beautiful horses around. Return to Freedom is dedicated to "preserving the freedom, diversity, and habitat of America’s wild horses through sanctuary, education, and conservation, while enriching the human spirit
through direct experience with the natural world." The ranch provides a safe haven to nearly 400 wild horses including 29 burros. The animals were rescued by the sanctuary from government round-ups and potential slaughter. Located on 1,500 acres just off of California's Central Coast, the horse haven is led by founder and president Neda DeMayo, and it provides an environment for the animals to maintain natural behaviors and social structures. During my visit DeMayo introduced me to a herd of Choctaw horses, whose roots trace back to the days of Hernando DeSoto in the 1500s and to the Choctaw Nation Native American tribe of the deep south and Mississippi. Other fascinating herds at the ranch include the Wilbur Cruce Spanish Colonial Mission Horses, which arrived in America from Spain in the late 1600s; and the Sulphur Springs Herd, which have distinctive dorsal and leg striping, and resemble horses painted on cave walls dating back to 26,000 B.C.E.

Tribalí Foods: Meet Your New Friend in the Freezer Section The new brand will partner with Angela’s family’s restaurant, TOPS Drive-Thru, to feed dinner to the homeless on Wednesday, Sept. 13th at Union Station in Pasadena, California Angela Bicos Mavridis — whose father was the founder of the beloved TOPS Drive-Thru and the maven behind Tribalí Foods — is putting the finishing touches on a line of frozen meat patties that just might change your life. Cooked from frozen and ready in minutes, these carefully created, effortlessly delicious patties are your new friend in the freezer department. Gathering flavor inspirations from around the globe, Tribalí uses single-sourced ingredients and a sustainable, transparent supply chain. “We want people to feel good about what they eat, and eat what feels good.” says Angela. Tribalí meat patties are: - 100% organic grass fed and finished, pasture-raised beef. - 100% organic free-range, air chilled chicken. - Animals raised humanely without antibiotics or hormones. - Made with absolutely no binders, fillers, or preservatives. - Non-GMO and free of gluten, dairy, soy. - Paleo certified, Whole30 approved. An expert cook, lifelong fitness aficionado — runner, cyclist and cross-fitter — and 35-year vegetarian, Angela had grown tired of fueling her body with endless combinations of protein powders, shakes, supplements, and bars. She came to realize that high-quality, clean animal
proteins paired with real, ancestral ingredients made her feel better, both physically and emotionally. “I wanted to eat better for my body, be more mindful and conscious in my choices — and do it all in less time,” Angela recalls. She wasn’t alone in her quest for delicious, healthy meals that connect back to more ancestral ways of eating — her family, friends, and clients felt the same. Angela soon developed delicious meat patties using only clean proteins seasoned with real ingredients you’d find in any cook’s pantry. This Labor Day Weekend, look for Tribalí patties at 57 Whole Foods Markets in Southern California, Arizona, Nevada, and Hawaii, plus LA’s natural foods stores Erewhon and Lassens. Choose from Tribalí’s three internationally inspired flavors: Mediterranean Style Beef featuring aromatic rosemary, spearmint, and a spritz of citrus Umami Beef with woodsy Shiitake mushrooms and tangy notes of nori seaweed Chipotle Chicken seasoned with zesty poblano salsa and fire-roasted garlic Want to see Tribalí in action? The new brand will partner with Angela’s family’s restaurant, TOPS DriveThru, to feed dinner to the homeless on Wednesday, Sept. 13th at Union Station in Pasadena, California.

Impaired driving due to alcohol and drugs is a chronic problem that endangers public safety. With voter approval of Proposition 64, which in Nov. 2016 legalized adult recreational marijuana use in California, law enforcement officials began looking for new and novel ways to address the public safety issues. In Jan. 2017, District Attorney Jackie Lacey announced the creation of the DUI Training and Prosecution Section (DTAPS) to provide training on effectively prosecuting these cases – with a
special focus on driving under the influence of drugs – and to work with law enforcement to increase the number of drug recognition experts in the county. “We in law enforcement must be prepared to aggressively investigate and prosecute vehicular deaths and injuries caused by impaired drivers,” District Attorney Lacey said. “It is still a crime for any person to get behind the wheel while under the influence of drugs – whether legally obtained or not.” DTAPS prosecutors work
closely with law enforcement agencies and the Scientific Services Bureau of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. They train deputy district attorneys so they have a greater understanding of the practices used in the investigation of impaired driving cases. The training includes instruction on in-field evaluations conducted by law enforcement officers to determine if a driver is impaired by alcohol, drugs, or both, and the technical aspects of forensic toxicology. Prosecutors in the section also screen vehicular homicide cases in which the individuals were suspected of driving under the influence. The prosecutors provide consultation and support to law enforcement agencies and deputy district attorneys handling these types of cases and, in some instances, vertically prosecute the cases themselves. The program is funded by a $858,000 grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

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.

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.
