“We engage families by providing them with interactive opportunities to learn practical ways in which they can support learning at home,” she said. “Additionally, our parent committees and organizations at site and district levels provide a safe platform to allow for parentschool collaboration.”

Parents are also informed about district events and information through technology, according to De La Torre.

De La Torre explained the district has taken innovative strategies to include parents in the education process.

Among the groups De La Torre works with is the District English Learner Advisory Committee (DELAC). During their monthly meetings, DELAC discusses issues such as Positive Behavioral Intervention Support (PBIS), College and Career readiness, and Financial Aid information for college.

OPINION&LETTERS Page A4 • August 11, 2016 • Inland Empire Community Newspapers

By R.A Contreras

I’m not paying you anymore!

he 3-mile walk to home one night didn’t do it. Neither did losing my whole paycheck. Eating 20-cent packs of noodle soup didn’t do the trick either. But finally, something I told myself over and over worked like magic. Like scores of Americans, I was addicted to gambling.

According to Rehab International, “recent research reveals that in America, approximately 2.5 million adults suffer from compulsive gambling, about 3 million are considered problem gamblers, around 15 million adults are under the risk of becoming problem gamblers and 148 million fall under the low risk gambler category.” Furthermore, some “80 percent and above of the nation’s adults have engaged in gambling at least once in their lives”… and “more than $500 billion is spent annually on wagers.”

It used to be that one had to make considerable effort to travel to Las Vegas and other very select locations to make wagers--but no longer. Here in California, especially, a local casino may sit only minutes away. Indeed it has become so much easier to put a dollar in a machine in hopes of striking it rich.

And therein lies the problem. I’ve gone on gambling trips where some friends are astute: for them it is no problem to set a $10 limit playing a 30-cent wager on a penny machine. If they lose (and more likely they will), they are easily able to go on their way. The small loss does not impact them seriously. Yet many others give in to what is called the chase: they might play $20 in wagers, lose, then put in another 20 in hopes of gaining back what they lost. Quickly, however, the losses mount. What turned into a $20 deficit now becomes a hundred, perhaps much more.

I’ll never forget the time I went in and cashed a paycheck a few years ago. Most casinos will eagerly cash a paycheck for you inside the gambling lounge. (Hmm, I wonder why…) Many other amenities abound: players’ club cards, free meals, discounts on shows, points for this, points for

that, car and trip giveaways. The cards make a person feel special, like they belong to something. All of that soured fairly quickly after I walked out of the casino that day after losing $1,200 in hard-earned wages. Two weeks’ worth of sweat was gone in a matter of a few hours. That is what the chase will do to you.

There were times when I would gamble away the last $100 in my checking account. I was lucky to scrape by on those packs of noodle soups you can get at the dollar store. One night, I had gambled away every last cent and was left to make the 3-mile walk home. Didn’t even have change left for the bus. I had no car. (Hmm, I wonder why...) That is what the chase will do to you.

Over the years, I have gambled away tens of thousands of dollars. I have probably paid hundreds alone in bank fees at the casino. Not only are you charged extra when you take out the money from the ATM owner, an additional charge gets tacked on from the bank. Yes, those $4 charges add up subtly--but how often, really, do we think of that?

More than once, I took friends to the casinos with me and threw them in the mix. Many times it was on their birthdays, when they would happily get a $25 courtesy credit, a small gift and perhaps a free meal. One friend recently told me angrily after losing $40 that it would be the last time he would set foot in a casino again. Good for him.

I don’t know why but what finally did it for me was a simple thought really. Weary after losing all these years, I said to myself: ‘Why am I throwing money away just to give it to someone else?’ The last time I was in a casino, a lady next to me cried tears of joy after hitting a $3,500 jackpot. I sat next to her forlorn and dejected yet again; the chase hadn’t produced. Inside, I too, cried tears-but of anger: ‘She’s taking my money!’

Really, that is all it took for me to finally realize the hand I had in helping pay these winners of various jackpots with my hard-earned money. Now, anything I see or hear relating to a casino gets automatically associated with that lady taking my bucks. Works like a charm. I think to myself: ‘Stupid me. I’m not paying you anymore.’

YOUR COMMUNITY COMMENTARY! All letters must be signed. Please include your name, address & phone number for verification purposes only. Anonymous letters will not be printed.

I read the headlines in total disbelief!

A professed leader in the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement reportedly said, “I ain’t voting until Black Lives Matter“. I cannot believe that any informed, self-respecting African American will openly proclaim that he or she will not vote! This is a gross indignity because of the sacrifices and lives lost by our predecessors in order to gain the right to vote. This misguided individual tramples on the graves of Sojourner Truth; Fannie Lou Hamer; the Mississippi Freedom Riders; Barbara Jordan, Dr. Martin Luther King, and the sacred graveyard list goes on and on.

Supporters of the “I ain’t voting” cognitive dissonance trample on the grave of my mother who was told she would lose her teaching job if she joined the NAACP and conducted a voter registration drive. She joined, became a lifetime NAACP member, and the family survived. We survived in spite of the racists who burned our family cotton gin (3 times) and general store to the ground. Our family provided merchandise, and rides for neighbors to go to town, to register, to vote, to shop, and to conduct business. Comradery existed whereby you picked up and provided a ride to someone walking by the side of the road.

We survived in spite of the fact that schools for Black children were closed 3 and 4 months of the school year to work in the cotton fields. We survived in spite of having to walk 10 miles to school while school buses for white children threw dust up in our faces. We survived many adversities in order to be where we are today.

I WILL Vote

I WILL vote.

Black people were castigated, tortured, lynched and suffered terrible deaths for just expressing the desire to vote. It was through the power of the vote that we defeated segregationists George Wallace of Alabama, and Governors Lester Maddox and Orville Faubus of Arkansas. If one of the reported leaders of the BLM is an attorney, as reported, he should be well aware of the court battles of Attorney and Chief Supreme Court Justice, Thurgood Marshall. As an Arkansan, I watched Attorney Thurgood Marshall and local attorneys like Attorney George Howard, engage in battle on behalf of the Little Rock Nine students’ effort to get an education at Central High School. Mrs. Daisy Bates and the State Press Newspaper (distributed by my mother) espoused the power of the vote to change the segregationist structure in Arkansas. These students (and many others) endured insults, life threats, personal danger, and loss of life to get a competitive education and learn that using the word “Ain’t” was not acceptable in the competitive corporate world. We fought for a competitive education and the right to vote in order to right the wrongs. I WILL vote!

Rhetoric is cheap. BLM threatens to give the presidency to Donald Trump. Why? I am amazed at how gullible some people are to the unfounded promises uttered by this individual. He promises jobs but he makes products abroad and sells them to consumers in America. How will providing jobs abroad “make America great”? He can begin by bringing those jobs to America, and assure that ”Made in America” is on all of his products. As a businessman, carefully scrutinize his business record and his

tax return (which he refuses to release).

He speaks of diversity but uses the terminology “my African-American“ which to me equates to the slogan, “my Nigger”, so frequently used in my youth.

Donald Trump uses negative slogans, personal insults, and exhibits totally unprofessional, crass behavior, unrepresentative of the values taught us as children. How could any selfrespecting African-American, knowledgeable of our ancestral history, threaten to vote for a self-aggrandizement individual who exhibits such unethical behavior? We should not jump from the frying pan into the fire. This is not a game of marbles between children. This is a serious world event which will impact the future of every human being on this earth, especially those of minority ethnic background.

I ask those who thought the Democratic inclusion of mothers of slain Black men was just “political theater”, what did the Republicans do to indicate the importance of this issue? How did they show the seriousness of the Black Lives Matter movement? News reports indicate “BLM Threatens to Hand Trump the Presidency”. Why? What has he done to earn it? This is not a TV show. This is survival. I sincerely hope that self-grandiose individuals will not be successful in spewing their venom and preying on the sensibilities of the uninformed.

I WILL vote, and I urge every eligible voter to become adequately informed, VOTE, and Don’t Forget The Bridges That Brought Us Over! Dr. Mildred Henry Your Vote Counts

Words to Think About: A Little About the Life of Elsa Maxwell

By G. W. Abersold Ph.D.

any thanks to Sarah Ramirez Bitter, my granddaughter, who did considerable research for me on the life of Elsa Maxwell. Elsa was born in 1883 and passed away in 1963. For over 40 years she was described in Washington, D.C., as the “hostess with the

mostest.” She was the social icon of the time, entertaining the political leaders of the day, foreign dignitaries and entertainment celebrities. People would do most anything to be invited to one of her parties. To be ignored by her was social suicide. In her own words, she was “. . . a short, fat homely piano player from Keaokuk, Iowa, with no money or background, who decided to become a legend and did just that.” She was a woman of marginal talent on the piano and an entertainer with limited skills, but a person with superb ability as a hostess. People like Maria Callas, Aristotle Onassis, Cole Porter, Noel Coward, Edgar Bergen, Tommy Dorsey, Dinah Shore, Lucille Ball, plus congressman, presidents and scores of other entertainers were honored to attend her parties and to hire her as a hostess. Her rather pudgy figure prompted her once to say, “I have to send out a search party to find my necklace in all my chins.”

In describing her own philosophy of life she declared, “I wake up every morning wondering what wonderful things are going to happen to me.” This kind of an attitude made her what she became. Other witty quotes attributed to her were: “Nothing spoils a good party like a genius” “Never explain and never apologize;” “No one ever went broke in Hollywood underestimating the intelligence of the public;” “Life is a party; you join after it has started and you leave before it is finished.” In speaking of her life, she gives her father credit for establishing a series of guidelines for living. The first was, “NEVER BE AFRAID OF THEY.” The ambiguity of “they” is often used to coerce and persuade the unsuspecting. Somehow the pressure of the unknown can often lead to fearfulness and a reluctance to try new things or not face life with confidence. Never be afraid of “they.” The second guideline was, “NEVER COLLECT THINGS; THEY’LL END UP COLLECT-

ING YOU.” To Maxwell material values were always secondary to human values. She wanted friends and people as the collateral in her life. How often “things” can be the dominate factor in our lives. When J. Paul Getty received a ransom note for his grandson with an ear, he refused to pay and gave the response. “We were never very close.” How tragic to put dollars ahead of a grandson. Don’t collect inanimate things. A third major guideline was, “ALWAYS LAUGH AT YOURSELF FIRST, BEFORE ANYONE ELSE CAN.” Ridicule is a horrible thing to endure. To be the object of derision is also horrible, but to be laughed at leaves one without defenses. The only way to cope is to see oneself as vulnerable and subject to mistakes and then laugh. A trip, an embarrassing scene or just plain dumb behavior should illicit laughter in oneself before others can. Be the first to laugh at yourself. Another guideline given Maxwell by her father is even

more subtle and debilitating if believed. When someone says to you, “IT’S NOT WHAT YOU SAY BUT HOW YOU SAY IT THAT IS UPSETTING.” I’m not exactly sure what he meant, but Maxwell interpreted it as an expression of a weak and insecureperson. It is usually an excuse. The lack of ability of the speaker to confront truth and logic. Whether given or received it is not a compliment but an insult.

ew moms received an extra ounce of sweetness with their bundle of joy at Redlands Community Hospital last week. Hospital staff treated its labor and delivery patients to cupcakes in celebration of World Breastfeeding Week (Aug. 1-7), an event designed to bring awareness to the importance and benefits of breastfeeding. Coordinated by the World Health Organization, UNICEF and the World Alliance for Breastfeeding

Action, this year’s campaign aims to encourage people to support breastfeeding mothers along with making communities more breastfeeding-friendly. Redlands Community Hospital has been on board and “babyfriendly” since 2013 and supports its expectant and new mothers with a breastfeeding program and access to lactation consultants. “It is our mission and passion to help each mother that desires to exclusively breastfeed be able to successfully breastfeed their infant.

It gives infants all the nutrients they need for healthy development. Beyond immediate benefits for children, breastfeeding contributes to a lifetime of good health. Research has shown that adolescents and adults who were breastfed as babies are less likely to be overweight or obese and less likely to have type II diabetes.” The World Health Organization recommends that babies are exclusively breastfed for the first six

months of life, and continue for at least one year. “Breast milk contains hormones and cells that fight germs; it helps protect infants from complications that include respiratory illness, ear infections, gastrointestinal disease, asthma, obesity and allergies. As an added bonus for mothers, breastfeeding is linked to lower rates of breast cancer and other illnesses, and aids in post-pregnancy weight loss. Nutritious complementary foods should then be added at six months of age while continuing to breastfeed for up to two years or beyond,” according to the news release. Classes at Redlands Community

Hospital offers expectant and new mothers access to programs through its Maternal Child and Perinatal Services programs. Appointments are available for group, and individual one-on-one education. To learn more about breastfeeding services and programs visit Redlands Community Hospital at 350 Terracina Blvd or www.redlandshospital.org.

Gerald McFadden, Volunteers of America Southwest CEO and President, threw the opening pitch during the 66ers game on Wednesday, Aug. 3 to celebrate the grand opening of VOA Southwest Early Head Start and Ballington Academy.

By MJ Duncan

ccording to the Care.com 2016 Cost of Care Survey, 54% of families spend more than 10% of their annual household income on childcare. That rate is high considering the per capita income in San Bernardino County is $29,848. Volunteers of America (VOA) has been providing an alternative

for local families for the last 15 years through its Early Head Start program that offers free childcare for those aged 0 – 3, and a halfday preschool for 3- to 5-year olds whose parents either work or attend school. There are currently two locations in Rialto and San Bernardino that serve 64 youth. A new facility in San Bernardino is slated to open in September that will have the capacity to hold

104 children, as well as a brand new, tuition-free charter school – Ballington Academy for the Arts and Sciences - for those 5 and up. “With the opening of the new facility we are able to present more opportunities for families to have free child care,” said Blanca Maldonado, VOA Family and Community Partnership Specialist. “With the new charter school on-site, children will have a seamless transition from preschool to TK (transitional kindergarten).” The Ballington Academy is a public charter school educating students from Transitional Kindergarten through 6th grade. Its curriculum entails Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math (STEAM), using a hands-on, real world approach. “We provide families with tools to better inspire hope, and teach them skills that will lead them to a better quality of life,” Maldonado said. “Children at our centers receive high quality care with teachers guiding educational and social development.” Some of the family services provided include free well baby and parent home visits, parent education classes and referrals to free and low-cost community and medical resources.

Cristen Pedroza to walk-on with intensity at Cal State San Bernardino

Photo Courtesy/Hubbs Foundation

Cristen Pedroza will try to make Cal State San Bernardino's softball and soccer team as a walk-on.

By Harvey M. Kahn

risten Pedroza will tell you she was not offered a college scholarship after graduating in June from San Gorgonio High School. Pedroza was good enough to make All-San Andreas League 2nd

Team in soccer and softball and had a 3.17 GPA. She received a few inquiries about her availability from Cal State Sacramento, Cal State East Monterey Bay and could have played softball at San Bernardino Valley College. Pedroza's coaches say that her

strengths as an athlete cannot be measured by looking at her stat sheets. As a catcher, there are no stats for blocking pitches in the dirt, picking runners off base, and organizing team meetings. Likewise as San Gorgonio's goalie, there is no entry for point blank saves and setting the defense. San G's softball coach Ray Ditto says you have to come out and scout Pedroza in person to appreciate her qualities. Ditto explained that most softball players earn college scholarships by playing travel ball. Pedroza never did much of that. "Cristen uses her brain to play. She calls the whole game, pitch selection, pick off plays, and sets the defense," said Ditto, who said Pedroza was his catcher four years, including playing every inning of every game as a junior and senior. "She played hurt many times but knew the team needed her." Pedroza's leadership qualities became apparent in her sophomore year when she was selected the trusted treasurer of the San G Softball Club. In Pedroza's resume presented to the Ken Hubbs Foundation by San G. Athletic Director Matt Maeda, he wrote that his school did not have someone who could play goalie on the soccer team. Since Pedroza was an excellent catcher, Maeda thought those skills might translate into a goalie. "She played JV as a sophomore and began learning the position until she became varsity starting goalie as a junior." Maeda went on to tell of Pedroza's miraculous story whereby she became so good that she helped lead the Spartans to consecutive San Andreas League soccer championships. During those two league title winning seasons, Pedroza allowed a total of nine goals, while San G went 10-0 in backto-back seasons. By a wide margin, Pedroza allowed the least

Pedroza was named school's Ken Hubbs Award nominee. goals in the SAL both seasons but was voted only honorable mention and then 2nd team allleague. It did not help that her stats were never posted on Maxpreps. Pedroza simply said, "Oh. They decided to pick the other girl 1st team all-league." She explained that walking onto San G's varsity has prepared her for a similar experience she's preparing for at Cal State San Bernardino, where she will attempt to walk-on as a non scholarship softball and soccer player. "I had to learn quickly in

high school. My older teammates didn't want any excuses. They expected a lot. They'd tell me. 'You better get the hang of it.'" Ditto feels that once the coaches at Cal State actually see Pedroza on the playing fields, that the rest will fall neatly into place. "They can't miss her intensity and the really good tools she has as a catcher. She is a coach on the field. There is still a lot of softball in her." Pedroza will major in biology in pursuit of becoming a ultra-sound technician

Residents weigh in on state propositions

PHOTO/ANTHONY VICTORIA

Proposition 64 may legalize marijuana and hemp for certain sales and cultivation across California. By Anthony Victoria

alifornia residents will be voting on 18 propositions in the November 2016 election. Among the issues are marijuana legalization, repealing the death penalty, taxation, and education. Proposition 51, known as the Public Education Facilities Bond Initiative, will authorize the state to issue $9 billion in bonds to im-

prove and construct K-12 and community college campuses. Three billion dollars will be allocated to modernizing school facilities, while another $3 billion will ensure the construction of new campuses. Charter schools and vocational institutions will be given $1 billion; community colleges are to receive $2 billion. Colton Joint Unified School District Superintendent Jerry Almendarez said he believes the

proposition will help struggling districts. “It’s an important proposition because many school districts are facing tough times,” he explained. “Facilities are typically the ones that get ignored the most.” Meanwhile Gina Rodriguez of Riverside is concerned private corporations may have had a large influence on the drafting of the proposition. “I am still on the fence about it. Will this lead to pri-

vatization for schools and will the funds be distributed to where they are needed most?” Proposition 55 will extend the temporary tax that was imposed on residents in 2012 who earn more than $250,000 to 12 years. Money generated from the tax will go towards funding education and health care in the state. California’s Death Penalty, which was reinstated through Proposition 17 in 1972, has two propositions that may either speed up the process of execution or repeal capital punishment altogether in the state. Proposition 62, the Death Penalty Repeal initiative, would abolish capital punishment-making a life sentence without parole the maximum sentence for murder offenses. “I am absolutely in support of this,” said Fontana resident Bobbi Jo Chavarria, who has helped circulate positions for Proposition 62. “We join the ranks of countries like Saudi Arabia when it comes to capital punishment. It’s very inhumane, and most importantly, it has disproportionate impacts on impoverished communities of color.” In contrast, Proposition 66, the Death Penalty Reform and Savings Initiative, would change the process in which governing appeals and petitions challenging capital punishment are handled. It designates superior courts across the state to handle the petitions, limits the amount of successive petitions filed, requires attorneys to take both noncapital and death

penalty appeals. San Bernardino resident James Albert believes more people need to educate themselves on Proposition 66. “People need to know that the proposition that gains the most support trumps the other one. This is simply a competing initiative to throw off voters. This is a moral issue to me. The state should not have the power to take a human life.” Proposition 64, which intends to legalize marijuana and hemp for certain sales and cultivation, will mandate the state to license and regulate the industry. According to the official ballot summary, the proposition will impose a tax on retail sales and cultivation of marijuana, while exempting some medical marijuana from taxation. In addition, it will allow local regulation and taxation of the plant. Fontana resident Joe Hemp, who, for safety reasons, did not provide his real name, said the proposition will hurt patients protected under the Medical Use of Marijuana Initiative (Proposition 215) and give most authority to state officials and private corporations. “This has the potential of destroying Proposition 215 and the mom and pop stores that are beginning to flourish,” he said. “Last thing we need to do is sell out.” To see more in-depth coverage on the ballot propositions, see the state’s Official Voter Information Guide. Election Day is on November 8.

Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust.

In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee.

If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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 Auction.com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee's Sale or visit the Internet Web site address www.Auction.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA07000164-16-1.

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, 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site, www.nationwideposting.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9448-4380. 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.

If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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 In Source Logic at 702-6597766 for information regarding the Trustee's Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08000375-16-1. 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.
