Largo Concrete Company’s Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to establish a 7.6 acre storage yard. On March 4, 2014 the council, by a vote of 4 to 0 (3 absent) adopted a resolution to deny property owner Alec Balci a CUP since his location

The Shelter Transport Animal Rescue Team (S.T.A.R.T.)—an organization that addresses issues with overpopulation by transporting dogs from high kill shelters to good homes and who helps communities establish veterinary clinics—has agreed to help fun Toro’s project in Colton. They will be providing $5,000 to help the city begin the program. Toro said he aims to hold “Spray and Neuter” events every month in 2015. Toro received his inspiration by following Austin Pets Alive —an animal shelter located in Austin, Texas whose mission is to spare pets from euthanasia inside shelters—and began to search for ways to implement something similar in Colton. “Although we don’t have anything like Austin Pets Alive here,” Toro said, “…my hope is to start something similar in Colton. I’m shooting for the moon and getting my feet on the ground to make

sure this is successful.” According to the District 1 councilmember, approximately three to five million pets are euthanized inside American shelters each year. “They have a 50/50 chance of coming out alive,” Toro said. “That’s devastating. Another issue is that owners sometimes are careless. They let their dogs roam the street.” Toro believes it begins with caring for a pet like they are apart of one’s family. “If you love a pet, you’re going to be loved unconditionally,” he said. “You can’t just put them in the backyard and neglect them. They need social interaction.” S.T.A.R.T. co-founder Rene Ruston explained that Toro and the city of Colton’s willingness to change their approach to animal control is a breakthrough for San Bernardino County. She said the organization has been in conflict for years with the San Bernardino city shelter due to their conditions

and lack of services. “They (San Bernardino) promised that they would improve the conditions of the shelter,” Ruston explained. “We were willing to put funding into this. We soon realized that it was all lip service; they had no intention to improve anything. Through Toro’s leadership the city of Colton has taken action to make sure animal control is being addressed and ensuring pets are coming out of shelters alive. I hope that more cities will do the same.” The event will be free to the First 20 interest forms received. A pet must be licensed in Colton, and residents interested must show proof of Residency. All forms can be filled out and emailed back to davidtoro45@gmail.com or brought into City Hall and left at the Front reception area. For more questions, contact David Toro at 909-370-5060.

with Summer Zamora-Jorrin being the only councilmember to vote no. As a result Largo filed a lawsuit against the city of Colton due to their belief that the commission’s denial was improper. During a San Bernardino County Superior Court hearing that took place on October 17, Judge David Cohn (after hearing arguments from Attorneys on both sides) remanded consideration of appeal back to the city council because he expressed that all six councilmembers and the Mayor be present to vote on the issue. Residents and community organizers filled the council chamber to express their concerns and issues with the property debate. Resident Richard Carrion—who lives between the I & R Trailer and Lift gate Company and Largo—said

the issue is an example of “reverse racism”. “They’re picking on him because he’s white,” Carrion said. “Largo did everything correctly and they are receiving all this heat, whereas the other company pollutes more and have no permit or anything else. They drive in and out all the time, disturbing residents and the council does not say nothing.” Ericka Flores, an organizer with environmental rights organization Center for Community Action and Environmental Justice (CCAEJ), provided the council with copies of California Communities Environmental Health Screening Tool that is used to help identify California communities that are disproportionately burdened by multiple sources of pollution. Flores, and later in the evening councilmember Deidre Bennett, pointed out that the area that sur-

I have been at the shelter since Dec 27, 2014. victoriaanthony91@gmail.com rounds the Largo property has 91100 % pollution burden scores. “Multiple studies demonstrate that our Inland Valley communities are already overburdened with exposure to diesel pollution and negative public health effects,” Flores said. “This project will negatively impact and exacerbate public health and safety of our already vulnerable communities.” The San Bernardino resident urged the city council leadership to take responsibility in protecting the livelihood of their residents. “Your leadership in protecting Colton resident’s and nearby communities’ health, safety, and quality of life is crucial. Responsible industry projects should not cause further harm to environmental justice communities.” Several councilmembers voiced their concern over city staff reports that studied the potential issues.

Dr. Luis Gonzalez, responding to comments that downplayed the issue, expressed that it is evident that Largo’s establishment of a storage yard will bring health and safety impacts. “If the welfare of the people wasn’t a big deal, we wouldn’t be here,” he said. “It is a big deal.” Bennett said the council should aim to reduce emissions, not add to emissions. “To me adding any more pollutants to the mix is like playing Russian Roulette,” she said. “My daughter is a cancer survivor. I don’t want to see any families have to go through what she did. If we can’t help protect the safety of our community I’m going to do whatever I can to correct that.” Andy Weaver, co-property owner of the proposed site, said the public view of what Largo plans to do with the storage yard is blown out

of proportion. Moreover, he explained Largo has been responsible in their management with the property. “Largo is not a giant manufacturing company,” he said. “They don’t intend to bring trucks in and out. They don’t want to do that. There are locations, which are less than eight acres that generate more pollution and we live with it…Largo managed to come into the property and cleaned it up. You should look at photos to see how the property looked before.” Weaver mentioned that he and Balci are going back to court next week. He believes the judge will sway in their favor. “I think the city has a made a big mistake,” he said. “They have no rationale behind their decision. They cannot say that we don’t have property rights.”

San Bernardino continues to be site of pop counterculture movements By Harvey M. Khan

an Bernardino residents can soon get another glimpse of the subculture it has historically helped nurture. On Feb. 14, Los Angeles-based Insomniac, Inc. will put on another in a series of electronic dance music rave concerts in San Bernardino, featuring DJ's Tommy Trash and The Chainsmokers. The event will be held on the National Orange Show grounds, the site that helped put San Bernardino on the underground music map 50 years ago with the defunct Swing Auditorium. Beginning over hundred years ago, Bohemians were said to congregate near the brothels around Rialto Ave. and D Streets. Such counterculture and hip crowds have consistently found their way into San Bernardino. The Bohemians were followed by the Lost Generation, beatniks, the hippies, disco coke heads, punks and now rave party goers. The list could extend forever if you include the surf and then British invasion raves. Lenny Bruce, the Rolling Stones and the Clash all built a following in San Bernardino. Pioneer soundman and bootleg chemist Owsley Stanley periodically hungout in San Bernardino, test-marketing his latest batch of LSD. Add some voltage to Pink Floyd, put in a dash of Owsley and you basically have the latest electronic dance music scene. Starting with the local Bohemians,

whose drug of choice was allegedly heroin, all of the following movements have been jacketed to some kind of substance use. The Muscoy home of Jim and Sally Thomas was a legendary site to many in the 50's-60's folk beat generation: Son House, Clabe Hangan, Jim Ringer, Mary McCaslin, etc. It was supposedly one source of inspiration for John Fahey's 1966 instrumental album, "The Great San Bernardino Birthday Party & Other Excursions." Former San Bernardino resident Richard McCann said he recalled some beatnik coffee houses on Highland Ave and another called the Crypt in Crestline. "By the time

any real beatnik movement came to San Bernardino it was pretty watered down," said McCann, who said he learned more about the beat culture by reading the works of those from San Francisco and Greenwich Village like Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. Both McCann and Anthony Garcia pinpointed a music club on Mt. Vernon that was the first to link the beatnik and hippie era's by adding light shows to music. Garcia's older family members played music in the area during the 1950's beatnik scene. "Actually, I'm gathering information right now about those times from my uncles and cousins who played jazz and talked the

Words to Think About: Mini-Memoirs

By G. W. Abersold Ph.D.

arry Smith was born on September 17, 1968. A native of New Jersey, he is an American author, an editor and publisher of several magazines. He challenged his readers in 2006 to write a six word minimemoir. He was inspired by Ernest Hemingway’s famous short story, “For Sale; baby shoes, never worn.” When pressed to do so, most of us can write our life’s emphasis in a very few words. I’ve given much thought to my own six words. They are: “Life is worth living; thanks, God.” Six words. To me the punctuation is as important as the words. Jordan Miller accepted the challenge to compose a mini-memoir by writing these words. “Life gives lemons; but no juicer.” Oprah Winfrey gives this thoughtful expression. “Seeking the fullest expression of self.” Short and pithy are the words of Elaine Miscal. “I refused to be a victim.” William Glasser was a distinguished psychiatrist. He stated categorically: “Life is born, lived, and finished.” A paraphrase of the words of Jesus in the Gospel of John, chap-

ter 10, verse 10 is: “I came to bring abundant life.” Albert Einstein is believed to have been one of the most brilliant men in history. He said, “A failure is success in progress.” Alfred North Whitehead, noted philosopher declared: “Seek simplicity and then distrust it.” President Ronald Reagan was always noted for his forthrightness. One of his best known expressions: “We should trust and then verify.” Albert Schweitzer was a great Philosopher, Musician, Physician and Theologian. Most of his life was spent as a medical missionary in Lambarene, Africa. In substance he said, “To live is to serve others.” Stella (my wife) decided to share her own six word mini-memoir. Here it is: “Be healthy, Be happy, And persevere.” Robert Schuler, the founder of the Crystal Cathedral was often heard to say, “Find a need and fill it.” Webster defines a “memoir” as a “record of events based on the writer’s personal observation.” To explain that definition, memoir is simply an autobiography. A minimemoir as suggested by Larry Smith is a concise account of a person’s philosophy of life. His arbitrary limit of six words is unique. It challenges participants to focus on what they believe. To avoid so-called depth and ambiguity. There is an old joke in which a minister’s wife sent him a note before the service. One word, KISS. The usher thought it was romantic. However, upon pursuing the meaning, the wife said, “Keep it short, stupid.” Too many public speakers as well as ministers ramble. The six word mini-memoir forces us to get a maximum of

meaning from a minimum number of words. From the examples listed above, there appears another enlightening observation. I almost missed it. Six words. “Variety is the spice of life.” It suggests no two people seem to accept the same idea. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “God always enters every life through a private door.” It can also be said that, “Truth always enters every life through a private door.” No one else thinks the same thing or the same way as we do. Regardless of a professor’s power of persuasion or the unique logic expressed by anyone, every mind processes ideas and thoughts in different ways. The accumulation is referred to as our “Apperceptive mass.” The sum total of what you or I believe.” I am a fan of the sit-com, “Walker, Texas Ranger.” In a recent replay he repeats a phrase to motivate several delinquent boys; “All our choices always have consequences.” The phrase very naturally fit into Larry Smith’s challenge for mini-memoirs. The three great monotheistic religions: Christianity, Islam and Judaism, all accept the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. It is an allegory that reflects a basic truth. Eve and Adam are presented a choice with certain consequences. Will they accept a moral choice or not? The consequence is approval or the opposite. Choices involve decisions. They are basic to our living. Where we go; what we eat and read; what we believe; who we marry or associate with; what we think about or don’t; on and on. CHOICES DETERMINE CONSEQUENCES; FOR OPTIMAL LIVING. Amen. Selah. So be it.

beatnik lingo," said Garcia. He said Mexican and Latin folk music coincided with the early cool jazz of the folk era. "People like Celia Cruz and Tito Puente performed on Mt. Vernon at dances." Garcia says Billy Larkin is one of the last living San Bernardino musicians who performed in beatnik clubs. Garcia feels that current electronic dj music and light shows are a combination of past undergound scenes, but have taken the promotional aspect a step further. Companies like Insomniac, Inc. now generate multi-millions from gigantic "counterculture" commercial events. Tens of millions then trickle down into cities like San Bernardino. Area hotels will be booked up by mostly out-of-town rave goers before Feb. 14. Raves seemed to have incorporated the Avant Garde element of the Bohemian movement, the folk from the Beatniks, and sound and lighting from Hippie's and disco era. These immersive electronic music festivals seem even more exciting since they add some of the rage from the punk and new wave movements. Although Insomniac, Inc. said would not comment, the firm offers a prepared statement saying it produces the next generation of special effects that captivate the senses and inspire a unique level of fan interaction. "The quality of the experience is the company's top priority." In 20 years of existence, Insomnia, Inc. says it has attracted four million fans to its events in the U.S., Mexico, Puerto Rico and the UK.

Its three-day Electric Daisy Carnival concert in Las Vegas is said to draw 400,000. It held the first of its 19 Nocturnal Wonderland themed concerts in 1998 on the National Orange Show grounds. Insomnia, Inc. has faced considerable ridicule from those living near the NOS due to its high levels of sound. At least one city councilman was quoted to say that raves attract an undesirable element to San Bernardino. There have been three deaths allegedly associated to the local raves, however there were considerably more tied to the Swing Auditorium flower power concerts of the 60's. Attendance at a typical concert at the Swing was about 4,500. At the Nocturnal Wonderland concert in 2003 there were an estimated 50,000 people on the NOS grounds. At the adjacent Orange Show stock car races, there were about 2,000. The car race got the daily news coverage and not a word was written about the rave. After years of fighting to maintain a San Bernardino presence, those at Insomnia, Inc. have received encouraging words from the NOS board of directors. Insomnia, Inc. will again be scrutinized on Feb. 14 when it presents its Insomnia Crush SoCal. Its owner, Pasquale Rotella is currently facing criminal and civil charges which further lends to his local appeal. Appearing on one of the many stages with Tommy Trash and The Chainsmokers at the National Orange Show Event Center will be Alvaro, Kennedy Jones, Lost Kings, Mercer, and Seven Lions.

2015: 900-plus new laws for California

alifornia, The Golden State, and now home to more than 900 new laws for 2015—930 to be exact. Some are obviously needed, while others could have people raising eyebrows. Most of the laws took effect Jan. 1, but others don’t kick in until July. Among one of the quirky ones includes recognizing an official state amphibian- the California Red-Legged Frog. Yes, that correct, a state frog. While a state frog croaks me up, I’m okay with it because he’s kind of cute, just look him up. Plus, it’s recognized by the federal government as a "threatened" species. So, save the frogs! Now, let’s get into a few of the more serious ones. Information about the new laws was collected from various published articles, including a Dec. 26 web article published by SF Gate Staff Writer Melody Gutierrez, a Jan. 6 web article published by Tauhid Chappell, Walt Gray of News10 ABC, a Jan. 1 web article published by Patrick McGreevy of the LA Times and a Jan. 1 article published by Chris Nichols of the UT San Diego. Youth football practice: With the intent to reduce concussions and other brain injuries, AB 2127 limits middle school and high school students to 90 minutes of full-contact football drills twice per week. The law also bans fullcontact practice during the offseason and requires the California Interscholastic Federation to create a protocol for an athlete who suffers a concussion.

New consent law for sexual activity: Colleges and universities in California will be required to adopt policies against sexual assault that radically rewrite what constitutes consent as a condition of receiving state financial aid. Under the new law, the standard for consent to sexual activity in campus judicial hearings shifts from whether a person said “no” to whether both partners said “yes.” The law only applies to the burden of proof used during campus disciplinary hearings, not criminal proceedings. Toy guns must be colorful: The new law requires toy manufacturers to make plastic guns in bright colors so law enforcement can distinguish between toy firearms and real ones. “Selfie” protections: Revenge will come at a price for those who post private naked photos or videos of someone without his or her consent. The new law extends privacy protections to all individuals who take nude “selfies” intended to be private. A law passed last year to offer “revenge porn” protections did not include selfies. Anyone who violates the new law by disseminating a protected image could be charged with disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor. In July, a second “revenge porn” law will allow a person whose naked image was shared online without his or her consent to file a civil suit for monetary damages against the perpetrator under a pseudonym in court. Or, you can just keep things simple and keep your clothes on for photos. Just a thought. New rules for student expulsions: Public schools can no longer expel students for defying teachers or administrators That’s right, there is no typo there. A student can no longer be expelled for willfully defying teachers or administrators at any level. And, if a student is in grade K-3, schools cannot suspend them student for misbehaving. I’d like to hear what some teachers have to say about this new law. So how much leeway do students have now before getting expelled? Well, if they pose a certain danger to other students, such as talking about violence, drug use, among a few. One law still up in the air is the ban on plastic bags. Opponents of the law have submitted signatures to place a referendum on the 2016 ballot. If enough signatures are deemed valid, the law will be suspended until an electoral vote.

Tragic shooting of mother not the child’s fault

The death of 29-year-old Veronica Rutledge, the woman who was accidentally shot and killed at a Wal-Mart in Idaho by means of a concealed handgun when her 2year-old son unzipped the handgun pouch, aimed at her, and pulled the trigger, is a case of “people don’t kill people, guns kill people.”

He witnessed the adults around him using handguns all the time and he probably also saw her place her gun in her purse and zip the pouch closed. When she left him in her shopping cart with the purse, he was curious to imitate the actions of the adults, and so pulled out the gun and fired.

Volunteers sought for San Bernardino County’s homeless count

By Yazmin Alvarez

olunteers are being sought to help count and record data on San Bernardino County's homeless living on streets and in shelters. The biannual survey—Point-inTime Homeless Count— will be administered Jan 22 from 6 to 10 a.m. throughout the county’s 24 cities and volunteers still needed especially in Redlands, Fontana and Rancho Cucamonga, officials said. Information collected during the count helps providers find gaps in city resources and services and is also critical to bringing in funding for homeless programs in the county, Tom Hernandez, the county’s Homeless Services program manager, explains. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development requires that the count be conducted biannually as a condition for cities to qualify for federal homeless assistance funds to offer the best solutions to solve homelessness in the area, Hernandez said. HUD’s definition of homelessness only includes people who are staying in shelters, out on the streets or other places not meant for human habitation. It does not include people doubled-up in the homes of others.

While volunteers have come forth to participate in this year’s count, hundreds more are needed to make the effort a success, Hernandez added. “The more people that volunteer, the more accurate the count,” he said. “It’s not a 100 percent accurate count but it’s the best way to account for what services are needed.” The 2013 survey accounted for a total of 2,321 homeless adults and children in the county— 1,074 adults and children in shelters and 1,247 unsheltered, Hernandez said. Christy Hamilton, staff analyst for the county's Office of Homeless Services, said the count will give cities a workable number so they can start providing services and start bringing the number of homeless down. As part of the count, volunteers will spread out throughout the county’s 24 cities in teams of three to four to find homeless people sleeping outside on streets and parks, and as they survey, they’ll also be equipped with a bag of incentives for those without shelter such as hats, socks and gloves, officials said. A three-hour training session, offered on various days leading up to the event, is required prior to the day of the count. Each city will have a designated

Tree of Remembrance Service Held at Hermosa Gardens Cemetery in Colton

By Ricardo Tomboc

he holiday season seem to be one of the most difficult times of year for those who have lost love ones. To help families deal with the difficult times, Hermosa Gardens Cemetery in Colton held a "Tree of Remembrance Service"; where they celebrated and remembered those who have passed. The Remembrance Service was held on Saturday, December 20th in their main chapel. Pastor Mike Boyer directed the services. During the ceremony, Melvin Torres lead a "Three Candle Lighting Ceremony". He explained the meaning of the three candles, which represented sorrow, courage to grieve and hope, as Ruth Casanova lit each candle. Ricky Jacquez sang several Christmas songs "a cappella", to the enjoyment of the participants. Pastor Mike Boyer gave a scripture reading on John 14: 1-5. Robert Kline gave military honors by playing Taps on his trumpet. Robert is a Marine Corps Veteran serving from 1981 to 1984. Robert has been playing the trumpet since he was in the 3rd grade. Ruth Casanova read the names of loved ones whose family members were present. The family members placed ribbons with the names of those being honored on a

CSUSB men’s basketball wins back-to-back By Richard Dawson

PHOTO/RICHARD DAWSON

Jacob Thomas (#12) scored 22 points in Cal State San Bernardino's 88-66 CCAA win over Cal State Dominguez Hills on Saturday, January 3.

he Cal State San Bernardino men’s basketball team has started off 2015 on a winning note. After finishing 2014 with four consecutive road losses, the Coyotes needed to find their winning ways heading back into their California Collegiate Athletic Association schedule. Two home games at the Coussoulis Arena did the trick as Saturday’s 88-66 victory over Cal State Dominguez Hills capped off a two-win weekend for the Coyotes in San Bernardino. Coming off a 31-point effort two nights earlier, junior guard Jacob Thomas dropped six 3-pointers and led CSUSB with 22 points in the win over the Toros (4-8, 0-6 CCAA). Leading by double-digits most of the game, four other Coyotes reached double figures. Senior Isaiah Morton totaled 17 points thanks to a 9-for-9 performance from the free throw line. Senior Taylor Statham recorded a doubledouble with 15 points and 11 re-

bounds while fellow seniors Everett Turner and Tevin Harris scored 15 and 11 respectively. CSUSB (4-5, 4-2) never trailed in the game and led 41-25 at the half. The lead grew to as much as 28, 63-35, when Thomas nailed a three with 11:44 remaining in the game. On New Year’s Day, the Coyotes defeated Cal State L.A. 69-62. Once again, the Coyotes led by double digits early in the first half, but the Golden Eagles went on a 15-4 run over the final five minutes to cut the lead to 34-31 at the break. CSUSB opened up the lead again in the second half, holding CSULA scoreless for over 10 minutes at one point while building a 56-39 lead. A late 7-0 run by the Golden Eagles made it 61-54 with 55 seconds left on the clock, but Thomas and Turner combined to nail 8 of 10 free throws to ice the game for the Coyotes. CSUSB hits the road again, playing at Cal State Stanislaus on January 9 and then at Chico State on January 10.

he CSUSB women’s basketball team grinded out a 54-51 New Year’s Day win over Cal State L.A. in its first game of 2015, but fell to Cal State Dominguez Hills 62-53 on Saturday to split a two-game home stand during CCAA action at Coussoulis Arena in San Bernardino. After trailing for 14 minutes of the second half against CSULA, junior Alicia Mack finally put the Coyotes (7-3, 3-3 CCAA) ahead, 47-46, with a jump shot with 2:33 remaining in the game. Mack pushed the lead to 49-47, but Chiara DiMarco gave the Golden Eagles the lead again with a four-point with 1:11 left on the clock. DiMarco nailed a 3-pointer while being fouled by Mack and then sunk the free throw attempt after the play to make it 51-49. Chelsea Barnes made one of two free throws on the Coyotes ensuing possession. After missing the second attempt, Aiwekhoe Okungbowa rebounded the ball for the Golden Eagles but then turned the ball over.

Twenty seconds later Brianna Baker drilled a jump-shot to put the Coyotes up 52-51 and Chelsea Austin closed out the game by landinga pair of free throws with 1 second left. Mack led the way scoring 14 points, Austin posted a doubledouble with 13 points while hauling in 10 rebounds, and Barnes added 11 points. In the loss to the Toros (10-4, 51), the Coyotes led their lead slip away. CSUSB led by six, 48-42, with just under seven minutes left, but the Toros went on a 6-0 run to tie the game at 48. The teams traded baskets before Adriana Brodie hit a pair of free throws to put the Coyotes up 5251 at the 3:56 mark. Another run by CSULA put them up 58-53 with 56 seconds left, and CSUSB never got closer as it missed its final six shots to finish the game. Brianna Harden led the Coyotes with 16 points and 12 rebounds in the loss. The CSUSB women travel north to play at Cal State Stanislaus and Chico State on January 9 and 10.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site www.auction.com, using the file number assigned to this case 14-285511. 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 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.

Probation officers distribute resources to homeless offenders

By MJ Duncan

ndividuals released from prison into probation are required to provide an address, but there are a number of those who are deemed homeless, posing a unique challenge for probation officers charged with their supervision. The San Bernardino County Probation Department conducted its first homeless compliance operation last month whereby officers verified whether probationers were in fact truly homeless, and to distribute information on the resources available to homeless individuals. “Homeless probationers represent a unique and difficult population to supervise,” stated Chief Probation Officer Michelle Scray Brown. “It is exceedingly difficult for the homeless supervised offender population to take advantage of treatment resources that will help them lead crime free lives when they cannot meet their basic subsistence needs. In these cases we have to provide basic resources in addition to classes, training, and treatment services.” The sweep targeted the central portion of San Bernardino where

probation officers distributed referrals to the department’s Day Reporting Center, a list of cold weather shelters, and lists of San Bernardino city and county food distribution sites. The Adult Central Division set out to contact 180 High Risk Offenders that were reporting as homeless. Of those targets, Probation Officers attempted 141 visits. There were 26 arrests, 22 bad addresses, 28 searches and 10 arrest warrants served. During the compliance check, Probation Officers confiscated 10 Guns, 4 grams of Methamphetamine, 12 grams of marijuana, and several boxes of ammunition. In one case, an offender who was reported to be homeless was found living with his parents. During a search, Probation Officers discovered multiple weapons and drugs in his room and throughout the house. The sweep also provided a valuable opportunity for additional analysis of this offender population. The department examined trends impacting homeless offenders including where in city they tend to congregate. Probation Officers also sought information regarding the “extent” of

San Bernardino Generation Now “Business Floods” aim to encourage city residents to support local businesses

n 2014, a group of young adults embarked on a campaign to revitalize San Bernardino’s local economy. They created “Food Floods”--networking events that not only encouraged youth to want to be involved in community organizing, but also encouraged city leaders such as Mayor Carey Davis, Youth Action Project CEO Joseph Williams, and many other dignitaries to emphasize the importance of small business establishments. San Bernardino Generation Now (SBGN) organizer Jorge Heredia, 23, said the first food flood motivated him to want to become more involved. “We began the floods by holding an event at Juan Pollo,” he said. “We managed to get a great turn out, and as a result, now there’s a photo of our group in there. That was the owner showing us that our presence made an impact. We began to have conversations among each other to see what we could do to make the city better economically. Somehow we had to make an impact.” The events managed to get dozens of people to local restau-

rants such as Jouni’s Kitchen, Alfredo’s Pizza and Pasta, The Green Shack Marketplace, Yo Mama’s Kitchen, and Molly’s Cafe. Despite the potential, fellow SBGN organizer Michael Segura believes repetition is the key to more success. “I think it’s a great starting point,” said Segura. “These events can provide good settings for networking. First thing, however, is getting people to come repeatedly. We have to encourage people to spend money locally, instead of buying into corporate interests.” Heredia said he looks forward to the possibility of partnering up with other community organizations, media outlets, and entrepreneurs to change the mindset of the consumer culture in San Bernardino. “Of course we don’t want to step on anyone’s toes,” Heredia explained. “It’s all about working together and all of us doing our part to make this work.”

San Bernardino Generation Now will be holding their first “Flood” of the year on Saturday January 24 at the Jassan Banquet Indian Restaurant, located on 1650 South E Street in San Bernardino. For more information, follow SBGN on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/SBgenerationNOW?ref=hl
