I won’t tell anyone who to vote 

for, but here is some information 

on “Uncle Joe” Biden: I saw 

two videos of him recently. In 

one he called young people lazy 

and lacking in the work ethic, 

because they can’t get off their 

couches they are having economic 

problems. I actually heard

FAIR PLAY? 

In the midst of the Trump administration’s 

battle over what 

constitutes fair and unfair trade, 

while tariffs are being batted 

about by both nations, a speculation 

has arisen that China may 

seek to damage (some would 

even say destroy) the value of 

US currency by selling off the 

huge cache of US Treasury 

bonds it holds. 

Large scale selloffs of bonds 

generally devalue the fiat currency 

they represent. This poses 

obvious dangers for China itself 

as much of the wealth both the 

Chinese government holds and 

much of the private wealth held 

by their citizens in US Treasury 

bonds. Harming the value of 

US currency may be satisfying 

emotionally from the little man 

perspective of the “One Hundred 

Years of Humiliation,” but doing 

so at the long- and short-term 

expense of one’s own government 

and citizens is not the act 

of a responsible world power, 

but of a petulant child with an 

unresolved inferiority complex. 

There is, however, yet another 

danger for China that perhaps 

it has not yet considered. 

In 1911 the dynastic government 

of China fell to a more Western 

styled Republic led by Sun Yatsen. 

In 1913, in an effort to begin 

a program to bring China into 

the modern world, China floated 

a railroad bond internationally. 

Soon, China was floating hundreds 

of bonds for electricity, 

sewers, water and paved road 

improvements. When Sun Yatsen 

died, who would lead China 

became a unresolved issue and 

warlords began fighting for 

control, each claiming to be the 

government of China and each 

issuing infrastructure bonds. 

Eventually, Chiang Kai-shek 

consolidated power and became 

the leader of the generally recognized 

government of China, as 

the Japanese Empire invaded 

and attempted to claim it was 

the real government of China. 

Simultaneously, Mao Zedong 

and the communists fought 

against Chiang and the Japanese. 

During this entire time, 

Chiang, as leader of the nationalist 

government, sold war 

and infrastructure bonds and 

Chinese municipal governments 

continued to sell infrastructure 

bonds. It has been an agreed to 

principle in international law 

that successor governments pay 

the debts of the prior government, 

even in the case of revolution, 

but China flatly states, 

“No, that was THEM. We are not 

paying.” 

At the present time, these 

debts held by American banks 

and many citizens are worth $1.5 

trillion with continuing compounding 

interest. This does not 

include the additional trillions 

owed to the British, Germans, 

French, Dutch, Italians, Canadians, 

Australians, and so on. By 

abrogating its debt for 73 years, 

China has gotten a free ride at 

the expense of the rest of the 

industrialized world, and has, 

in effect, re-loaned us our own 

money. As China attempts to 

use US Treasury bonds against 

us in a trade war, what happens 

if someone in the Treasury 

says, “Hey, wait a minute, they 

owe us $1.5 trillion they are not 

paying. Let’s cancel their serial 

numbers for the $1.5 trillion 

they bought and call it partial 

payment.” 

Then what happens when 

everyone else who owes China 

money, but who China has 

never repaid, does the same? 

China crumbles. 

Turnabout is fair play.

ASSAULT ON 

DEMOCRACY 

REMEMBERING TWO TERROR-FILLED DAYS IN TIANANMEN SQUARE 

6 PASADENA WEEKLY | 06.06.19 

Before discovering the rewards of capitalism, becoming what Christian 

Science Monitor Editor John Yemma in 2011 described as the “wonder of the 

age,” communist China was ruled by its leaders with an iron fist. 

Today, aside from recent trade departments with the United 

States, China has changed dramatically, operating under a long-evolving 

economic system that promotes free trade but at the same time retains total 

control over all political power. 

Thirty years ago, while this transformation from a system which forbids 

private ownership to one that encourages individual profit-making was in its 

nascent stages, poverty and political oppression in China remained pervasive. 

Chinese students and citizens, many of whom had tasted some freedom and 

only wanted more, found themselves targets of ruthless government forces that 

cracked down hard on their demonstrations for democracy in Tiananmen Square 

on June 3 and 4, 1989. 

On assignment for Sipa Press, a New York City-based photo agency, I arrived 

in Tiananmen Square less than an hour before soldiers started retaliating against 

peaceful pro-democracy demonstrators who defied their orders to disband and 

disperse. 

As the deadly drama unfolded, I photographed some of the brutal results 

of the bloody collision between the forces of freedom and oppression, one of 

four Western photojournalists documenting the event, according to American 

Photographer magazine. 

For many Americans, the indelible image of the lone protester holding up 

a flower and stopping a tank in its tracks is the only thing they really know 

about this massacre. But, as I saw with my own eyes, armed soldiers were an 

even greater threat to people scrambling to find a safe place to wait out the 

government’s assault on democracy. 

As I recall of those events, literal herds of people at a time would move from 

one corner of the square to the other as tensions mounted and a voice amplified 

by a megaphone warned that soldiers had been ordered to shoot to kill. 

The students stood firm, however, remaining where they were and determined 

to bring democratic rule to their country. They showed courage and pride, even 

after being shot, with many dying from their wounds. Even as some were dying, 

they motioned for me to keep shooting what was happening to them and others all 

around us. 

“For the free world,” many would say to me in hopes that people in other 

countries would see what was happening and support them. I remained in the 

square photographing until bullets started ricocheting off the cement under my 

feet. The images were later distributed throughout the United States by Sipa 

Press. 

In the end, it was difficult to determine exactly how many people had been 

killed. Estimates vary from several hundreds to up to 2,600, with additional 

thousands of people wounded. 

The anguished faces and terror-filled eyes of the young students who were 

prepared to die for their political beliefs haunt me to this day. To speak out on 

their behalf, I feel, is not only an honor but a duty to ensure that people never 

forget what happened on those two days in Tiananmen Square. ■

BY JUSTIN CHAPMAN

Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont — leading a parade of Democratic 

presidential hopefuls to Pasadena for a Friday afternoon conference 

on immigration — came to town with his usual inexhaustible 

supply of fire and fury in captivating backers with promises of 

Medicare for all, free college tuition and a host of other progressive, 

people-driven policy ideas. 

The only thing Sanders seemed to lack was an audience, or one 

the size that’s he’s grown accustomed to drawing since entering the 

presidential election arena in 2016. 

“Bernie is very inspirational, but the size of the crowd was 

somewhat disappointing,” said Sharon Kyle, who along with her 

husband Dick Price publishes the online magazine LA Progressive. 

Roughly 2,000 people showed up for Sanders’ morning rally at the 

Pasadena Convention Center, half of what organizers had hoped for. 

But, “Aside from that,” Kyle said, “it was a great rally. All of his 

rallies are great. There is very little on which I don’t agree with him.” 

Getting Traction 

Whether it’s due to being one of 23 candidates — including five 

other US Senators and former Vice President Joe Biden — or because 

people either agree or not with what he’s saying, Sanders has seen 

marked reductions in the size of the crowds that venture out to hear 

him speak. 

On Saturday, the same day that the state Democratic Party 

Convention was being held in San Francisco, Sanders, a self-described 

Democratic Socialist, drew just more than 2,500 people at Guadalupe 

River Park in nearby San Jose, thousands less than expected. The 

previous week, fewer than 200 people attended a Sanders rally at a 

community college in New Hampshire. On May 25, he drew just 2,500 

people in his home state of Vermont, where the campaign expected 

twice that number. Before Biden jumped into the race, Sanders was 

drawing large crowds in his early campaign stops.

FORCING CHANGE 

BILL THAT WOULD MAKE 

DE-ESCALATION NECESSARY 

IN POLICE INCIDENTS PASSES 

ASSEMBLY 

A bill aimed at holding police officers accountable 

when they use deadly force cleared the 

Assembly last week. 

The Assembly voted 67-0 to pass AB 392, the 

California Act to Save Lives. 

According to the bill’s author Assemblywoman 

Shirley Webber (D-San Diego), officers 

will be able to use lethal force only when it is 

“necessary” and if there are no other options. 

Police officers would be forced to rely on 

de-escalation techniques, such as verbal persuasion 

and crisis intervention methods instead of 

lethal force. 

The bill still allows officers to immediately 

use deadly force in cases in which they face 

imminent danger. 

The bill also states that imminent harm is 

not merely a fear of future harm, no matter how 

great the fear and no matter how great the likelihood 

of the harm, but instead a situation, from 

appearances, that must be instantly confronted 

and addressed. 

“Changing the use of force standard in 

California will change the way officers are trained 

to pursue other, non-deadly, resources or techniques 

when engaging with the public. In cities 

like Seattle and San Francisco, with stricter use 

of force policies, police kill fewer people without 

any negative impact on law enforcement or community 

safety,” the ACLU of Southern California 

said in a statement issued after the bill passed. 

Delaware and Tennessee also require police 

to use all other alternatives before their gun. 

A Washington state law requires police to deescalate 

if at all possible. 

If passed, California would become the only 

state to combine a “necessary standard” with 

the requirement that courts consider an officer’s 

conduct leading up to a use of deadly force when 

determining the legality of the officer’s actions. 

The bill gained public support after the death 

of Stephon Clark in Sacramento helped deadly 

force situations into the limelight. 

The 22-year old African-American man was 

shot and killed by Sacramento police Officers 

Terrance Mercadal and Jared Robinet on March 

18, 2018 in his grandmother’s backyard while he 

was on the phone. The encounter was filmed by 

police video cameras. 

A Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department 

helicopter was involved in observing an 

individual on the ground and in directing ground 

officers to the point at which the shooting took 

place. Helicopter video footage was released 

three days after the shooting. The officers stated 

that they shot Clark, firing 20 rounds, believing 

that he had pointed a gun at them.

COUNCIL PROCLAIMS JUNE 

7-9 NATIONAL GUN VIOLENCE 

AWARENESS WEEKEND 

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN 

As national statistics suggest, Americans in every 

state have been adversely affected by gun 

violence, either through the death or injury of a 

friend or relative, or by being directly involved 

in some type of shooting incident, either as an 

assailant, a victim or a witness. 

For those reasons the public is being asked to participate in Wear 

Orange Day today, June 6, and on National Gun Violence Awareness 

Weekend, Friday through Sunday. 

Now in its fifth year, Wear Orange Day was created to honor the 

many lives that have been cut short by gun violence and to support 

efforts to reduce gun-related crimes. 

On May 20, the Pasadena City Council proclaimed June 7-9 as 

National Gun Violence Awareness Weekend in Pasadena. 

The proclamation states “Gun violence touches every segment of 

our society and impacts people of all ages; it increases the probability 

of death in incidents of domestic violence; raises the likelihood of 

fatalities by those who intend to injure others, and among those who 

attempt suicide; it places children and young people at increased 

risk of physical harm and injury; and disproportionately affects communities 

of color.” 

The last fatal mas shooting in the US occurred on May 31 in Virginia 

Beach, Virginia, resulting in 13 people killed and six wounded. 

The last fatal mass shooting in California, also on May 31, 

occurred in West Covina, ending with one dead and three people 

injured. 

According to gunviolencearchive.org, 108 people were killed and 

255 injured in gun violence-related incidents around the country 

from June 1 to June 4. 

In 2019, the website found there have been 22,627 gun violence 

incidents, resulting in 5,968 deaths, 11,441 injuries, 249 children 

ages 0 to 11 killed, and 1,128 children ages 12 to 17 killed. n

COUNCIL VOTES TO AMEND TENANT 

PROTECTION ORDINANCE 

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN 

The Pasadena City Council on Monday 

unanimously approved the first reading of an 

amended Tenant Protection Ordinance (TPO) 

which now will protect tenants displaced by a 

change in a building’s ownership. 

According to the amendment, the property 

owners will be required to provide relocation 

funds and moving expenses to income-qualified tenants in good 

standing if the tenancies are terminated within 18 months of the date 

the property is transferred. 

According to a city staff report, “The changes expanding and 

enhancing the ordinance are intended to provide more assistance 

to displaced tenants and to keep pace with the rapidly rising rental 

housing market as directed by the City Council.” 

Rents in Pasadena are among the highest in the state. A onebedroom 

apartment in Pasadena costs about $2,100 a month, and 

landlords in California can increase the rent as much as they want. 

According to Pasadenans Organizing for Progress (POP), a poll 

conducted by David Binder Research revealed that 69 percent of 

local voters support rent control and 82 percent support a law that 

would block evictions without a valid reason. 

The poll also found high support for rent control in all seven 

council districts. 

Several of the council members own rental property in Pasadena, 

including Council members Victor Gordo, John Kennedy and 

Margaret McAustin. Gordo recused himself on Monday. Kennedy 

and McAustin made statements that the ordinance would not impact 

them and agreed to participate in the vote. 

Councilman Steve Madison attempted to make the ordinance 

retroactive to Jan. 1 in order to offer protections to local residents 

that received eviction notices. 

However, City Attorney Michelle Bagneris said that could not be 

done because the ordinance is penal, which means landlords could 

face criminal charges and have a right to know going forward that 

they are subject to laws. n

out how to get traction again,” “Meet the Press” host 

Chuck Todd said Sunday of the Vermont rally. 

A Decisive Role 

Later last Friday in Pasadena, Sanders, Sen. 

Kamala Harris, Julian Castro, a former cabinet 

member with the Obama administration, and 

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee participated in the 

first presidential forum focused on immigration 

at the Pasadena Hilton, a few blocks from the city 

Convention Center. 

While not widely known, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand 

of New York, also a candidate for president, spoke at a 

private event on Thursday, May 30, at the Women’s City 

Club of Pasadena 

Biden, who did not attend the state Democratic 

Party Convention in San Francisco the following 

Saturday, and fellow candidate Mayor Pete Buttigieg of 

South Bend, Indiana, are also finalizing plans to stump 

in Pasadena. 

Part of the reason candidates are making sure to 

traverse California on their respective campaign trails 

is because the state has moved its primary election 

date up from June to March 3, 2020, also known as 

Jay Jay Inslee 

Super Tuesday. The earlier date — after only Iowa, New 

Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina — will ensure 

that California voters and the state’s nearly 500 delegates 

play a decisive role in determining the eventual 

nominee, who will be chosen at the Democratic National 

Convention in July 2020 in Milwaukee. 

Out of all the candidates, Sanders comes in second 

place in most polls behind only Biden, though the 

difference is by double digits. 

Focus on Immigration 

US Rep. Judy Chu, whose district includes most 

of Pasadena, delivered introductory remarks at the 

immigration forum at the Pasadena Hilton. The event, 

titled the Unity + Freedom Forum, was hosted by 

FIRM Action, Community Change Action and CHIRLA 

Action Fund. 

All four candidates who participated — Harris, 

Sanders, Castro and Inslee — pledged to enact 

comprehensive immigration reform and revoke 

President Trump’s Muslim travel ban during their first 

100 days in office, in addition to other progressive 

immigration policies. 

Harris, who formerly served as California attorney 

general, said the fight for immigration reform will 

not be easy, but that it’s “a fight worth having, and I 

promise you we will win this fight.” 

Castro, who formerly served as President Obama’s 

Housing and Urban Development Secretary, described 

specific policy proposals that he would enact if elected 

president. His twin brother Joaquin, a congressional 

representative from Texas, was also in attendance. 

Castro called for a “21st century Marshall Plan” for 

Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala. 

“We need a president who’s not going to look down 

on these countries but work as a peer in a mutually 

beneficial way to ensure that people can find safety and 

opportunity in their home country, instead of having 

to come here to the United States,” he said. “At the 

same time, the truth is we need a lot of the folks who 

are coming to the United States right now, because 

they add vitality to our country. It would be economic 

Kamala Harris 

suicide not to have them, because we have a declining 

birth rate and an aging population. We need a young, 

vibrant workforce. We need immigrants.” 

Inslee, who is running as a climate change 

candidate, said he would increase foreign aid to 

Central American countries, end family separations 

at the border, and give asylum seekers hearings in a 

reasonable time period and increase the number of 

refugees — including those displaced by climate change 

— accepted into the United States to 110,000 per year. 

After Pasadena, Sanders, Harris, Castro, Inslee, 

Gillibrand and nine other candidates traveled to 

San Francisco for the California Democratic Party 

Convention, which was the largest gathering of 2020 

presidential contenders thus far until the first official 

Democratic debate will be hosted by MSNBC on June 

26-27 in Miami. 

Stay the Course 

In his speech in Pasadena, Sanders said the 

underlying principles of our government will not 

be greed, kleptocracy, hatred, lies, racism, sexism, 

homophobia, xenophobia or religious bigotry. “We have 

news for Donald Trump: we are going to end those 

ugly practices when we are in the White House. The 

principles of our government will be economic justice, 

racial justice, social justice and environmental justice.” 

Like nine other candidates since the release of 

Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian 

interference in US elections and obstruction of justice 

Julian Castro 

on the part of Trump, Sanders also changed his 

position on impeachment following Mueller’s press 

conference explaining his thinking in the Russia 

investigation. Sanders now believes impeachment 

inquiries must begin. 

“As you all know,” Reuters News Service quotes 

Sanders saying at the party convention, “there is 

a debate among presidential candidates who have 

spoken to you here in this room and those who have 

chosen for whatever reason not to be in this room 

about the best way forward. We cannot go back to 

the old ways. We have to go forward with a new and 

progressive agenda.” 

Said Kyle, “There are a lot of people in the race, 

but [Sanders] has enough money to stay the course 

and he will probably be in there until the end.” But, 

she said, “I think Warren and Biden will give Sanders 

a run for his money.” n

UpCOMEDIAN VENTS HIS FRUSTRATIONS IN HIS 

FIRST COMEDY SPECIAL ‘NOT 

TACO BELL MATERIAL’ 


Adam Carolla has built a media empire 

throughout his unusual 20-plus-year 

career in radio, TV and podcasting. 

As the co-host with Pasadena-based Dr. 

Drew Pinsky on the longtime syndicated 

radio smash “Loveline,” he established 

himself as a no-nonsense comedic 

counterpoint to the advice Pinsky dished 

out about drugs and relationships. 



MANNING UP 


From there, he teamed up with a young Jimmy Kimmel as co-host of Comedy 

Central’s “The Man Show,” where the two outrageously take aim at all things 

involving men in pop culture and society. They also created another hit, “Crank 

Yankers,” for the network before Kimmel made the leap to hosting his own latenight 

talk show on ABC. 

Carolla went a different direction by entering the world of podcasting, launching 

a studio complex in Glendale to house Carolla Digital, from which he produces 

an array of podcasts each week that draw millions of listeners on the Podcast One 

platform. He recounted his rise to fame and fortune with his trademark sardonic 

wit in the bestselling memoir “Not Taco Bell Material,” and now he’s released his 

first standup special using the same name. 

PW: Tell us about the special. How’d you decide to finally do one now? 

CAROLLA: It’s an hour-plus standup special, a mix of straight standup with autobiographical 

tale. Beginning, middle and end with some visuals so it’s a combo 

of a one-man show and stand up. The book was a good template as a “This is your 

life” kind of thing. But at some point, when people ask, “Why’d you call it this or 

that?” well, you have to call it something. 

You shot it in Portland at the Aladdin Theatre. Since Portland is known to be 

overrun with young liberal activists, wasn’t that a weird choice for you since 

you rail against the so-called “snowflake” generation? 

There are guys with kilts and knives if you get a little out of the city. My biggest 

cities are Seattle and Portland, even though I don’t come across as a Seattle/Portland 

guy. We’re in this weird no man’s land these days of me expressing my opinion 

and some people saying, “Think about what that sounds like coming from you.” I 

say, “Why should I have to?” Do what I say to do and have a better life. 

There were some suggestions of things I should remove from the special and I 

said no. I don’t think enough of myself to edit myself. That’s not courageous, it’s 

just low self-esteem. I’m making jokes, so how can I offend anybody? If it’s funny, 

it’s in. If there’s no laugh, it’s out. I don’t care about the topic. 

I don’t want to sound like Oprah, saying, “You’ve gotta become your best you.” 

Look at Howard Stern — everyone clutched their pearls when he started, then he 

got big and everyone expects him to be outspoken without complaining anymore. 

Snoop Dogg can now smoke pot in a police station. If you hang out long enough, 

you can be you, no matter what. 

Jimmy Kimmel recently said he thinks “The Man Show” would be bigger than 

ever if done today. Do you believe that, considering we’re in the #MeToo era 

with men expected to watch what they say everywhere? 

The pendulum swings. Look at hair bands in the 1980s, which I never enjoyed. 

A bunch of dudes who looked like chicks with spandex and eyeliner, like Cinderella 

and Motley Crue. You had all that huge for a few years and what’s the very 

next musical genre that’s ushered in? Grunge. We went from nothing but makeup, 

Aquanet and teased hair to Kurt Cobain with a wrinkled shirt everywhere. Those 

guys probably wouldn’t go onstage without wrinkling their shirts on purpose. Did 

the Cinderella guys care? Did the Soundgarden guys not care? The answer is one’s 

a reaction to the other. The more safe spaces we create, the more octagons will 

spring up. When you have enough of this, this other stuff will spring up. I feel like 

the more you try to push people into this world of use the right pronoun [regarding 

gender identity issues], the more you’ll create crazy fringe comics. 

You’re known as a libertarian, and not a fan of big government and so-called 

“handouts.” What inspires that viewpoint? 

Whatever situation you find in life will become the standard mark for you. We’re 

all wired to get used to wherever we are fast. When you climb into a Jacuzzi, you 

put your foot in and say “This is hot!” But five minutes later, you’re drinking a piña 

colada in it. We’re built to acclimate. If any of us went to prison, it’s horrific sounding, 

but at some point you would acclimate. 

So my kids are acclimated to a different place than we ever were. My kids are 

even living in a $7 million house, but for them that’s treading water and surviving. 

I lived way poorer growing up and well into adulthood, and that was my base. But 

once you have a base, you want more. If you say free health care, housing, et cetera 

is my base, then you want a free foot massage. And we can’t afford it at some point. 

You don’t wake up thankful for your base. Every single morning, I jump in a 

freezing cold swimming pool and say I’m awake. I’m way off my base. I’m under a 

freezing body of water, and I try to find ways to kick my butt a little bit. I perform 

at the Ice House Thursdays for free, and another club on Sundays. I’m trying to 

shake up my baseline a little bit. In a world of perfect heating and air, you have to 

shake your baseline a little bit. ■

Gateway to 

Success 

AFTER 25 YEARS, ABEL RAMIREZ OF 

EL PORTAL SHOWS NO SIGNS OF 

SLOWING DOWN 

BY MICHAEL SPRAGUE / PHOTOS BY DANNY LIAO 

Abel Ramirez’s name has become ubiquitous in Pasadena. The 

77-year-old restaurateur has become enmeshed in the city’s 

rich culinary landscape with three restaurants on Arcade Row 

in the heart of the Playhouse District, and has become a community 

leader, taking on roles with the Senior Center, the Pasadena Playhouse 

and the Tournament of Roses Association. 

This year marks El Portal’s 25th anniversary, a milestone for any 

business owner in Pasadena, but especially remarkable for Ramirez, a 

Mexican-American immigrant who embodies the American Dream. 

As a business owner, Ramirez’s son, Armando Ramirez, said his 

father is a product of a different era of business. His was driven by 

personal interactions, as opposed to online relationships, which 

Armando admits causes them to occasionally butt heads. 

Nevertheless, Armando concedes that his father’s guidance and

GATEWAY TO SUCCESS 


face-to-face persona has led El Portal to the last 

quarter-century of success. Where other eateries 

may share their customer's food pictures on social 

media, Ramirez takes the “Cheers” approach and 

anoints barstools with plaques bearing the names of 

the most prominent patrons. 

Armando said at the core of El Portal’s 

success is his father and his undying commitment 

to giving guests the best possible dining 

experience. It is that emphasis that Armando 

believes is his father’s best asset. 

“I say to everybody, ‘He’s our best PR.’ 

Everyone knows Abel from not just the 

restaurant, but from all the things he is involved 

in.” Armando said. 

A picture of Abel is on the menu at El Portal, 

and if you call on a weekday afternoon, there is a 

good chance that he will answer the phone. 

If you go to Arcade Row you will likely see 

the septuagenarian clad in a business suit and 

shuffling between his three restaurants. He 

trusts that his restaurants are running properly, 

but he feels guilty being away from the action 

and enjoys celebrating milestones and everyday 

achievements with his customers. 

Abel keeps a stash of mini piñatas to celebrate 

with young visitors, some of whom recall receiving 

them years ago. It’s that personal connection that 

has cemented Abel’s reputation in Pasadena. 

“One of the biggest things he has taught us 

is to really get to know our customers and give 

them the best experience,” Armando said. "He 

has long emphasized the importance of making 

customers happy and ensuring they feel that 

they’ve had a good meal at a decent value." 

“I am not convinced that the new technology 

is the way to run a restaurant; I like being there, 

you see my face, I see you. That is what counts 

for me,” said Abel. 

Abel said he and his son have reached an 

agreement to merge their management styles — 

Abel acts as the face of the business while his son 

takes on the new media marketing. 

Abel adds that owning a restaurant has never 

been easy, but this moment in time is the most 

difficult time he has experienced. 

“If anyone would ask me today to open a 

restaurant, my immediate answer would be to 

say 'No, thank you,'” Abel said. 

He attributes the level of difficulty to the 

sheer volume of competition in the area and the 

increasing cost of doing business in California. 

Despite the high-costs and razor-thin margins, 

Abel said he is most proud of having a way to 

support his more than 60 employees, half he 

estimates to be full-time workers. 

As a founding member of the Playhouse District 

Association, Abel Martinez took a stake in Colorado 

Boulevard and watched it evolve over the past 

quarter-century from his storefront. He said when he 

opened El Portal the area he is currently in was not 

the commerce destination it is today. 

“Since then, this area of Pasadena is great. 

People come to us, we have the Pasadena 

Playhouse, we have the theaters, we have culture 

and commerce. It is a great area.” Abel said. 

Abel admits there were a lot of lessons to 

learn over the years — the one he jokes about 

now is the downside of hiring his family members 

as he did when he first opened. 

“We started with a lot of family. I learned that 

is the worst thing you could do because then you 

are not the boss and you have 18 bosses around 

you,” Abel said. 

The menu has evolved since 1995. He said 

he has had to add more diversity to some of 

the menus to accommodate the increase in 

vegetarians and more health-conscious guests. 

The El Portal family of restaurants is 

inescapable on Arcade Row. Between El Portal, 

Yahaira’s and Vanessa’s, every type of dining 

is offered, the latter two named after his 

granddaughters. 

Each eatery takes on a different style, from 

pastries and coffee at Vanessa’s to brunch at 

Yahaira’s or a full dinner at El Portal. 

Catering has given Abel an avenue to grow 

even closer to his customers. He regularly caters 

graduation parties and weddings of the children 

of regulars, many of whom he watched grow into 

adulthood. 

Abel said he has no interest in stepping away 

from Arcade Row anytime soon, though he 

acknowledges someday his son will step into 

running the entire operation. 

“We have so many guests who are extended 

family. We don’t see them as customers. We know 

their lives," Abel said. "I am very lucky."

DOUBLE DADDY DUTY 

Pasadena offers two great ways to 

celebrate Father’s Day June 16 

No kid really likes what’s 

known as a “Disney dad,” the 

kind of father who is distant 

most of the time but shows up 

occasionally to spoil his children 

with extravagant adventures like 

trips to Disneyland. With Father’s 

Day coming up June 16, there are 

three much more affordable ways 

to hang out with your kids while 

giving them genuine quality time 

to boot. 

First off, one of Pasadena’s 

biggest annual events — the 

Pasadena Chalk Festival — takes 

place from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. both 

Saturday, June 15, and Sunday, 

June 16, along with the Pasadena 

Car Show. Thousands of artists 

will take to the sidewalks of the 

Paseo Colorado and surrounding 

blocks to create an eye-popping 

array of artworks that draw tens 

of thousands of admirers, while 

the streets are filled with classic 

cars to boot. Admission to both is 

free. 

Meanwhile, The Rose nightclub 

will put a special Father’s Day 

twist on its weekly Soulful 

Sunday Brunch, where a delicious 

brunch buffet is accompanied 

by live soulful music to shift 

the celebration into high gear. 

The band B.I.G. (Brothers 

Igniting a Groove) provides the 

entertainment, performing R&B, 

smooth jazz and old school funk, 

with a repertoire of over 100 songs 

and counting. 

Admission is $29 for adults 

and $12 for children under 13 if 

you want the brunch and show, 

and just $15 general admission 

for those seeking to just enjoy the 

music. Call (888) 645-5006 or viit

REJECTION HURTS 

REPLACE THAT CRITICAL INNER VOICE WITH ONE THAT HAS MORE 

SUPPORTIVE AND POSITIVE OPINIONS 

Dear Patti, 

I’m sitting in our family car, writing you because I don’t want my parents 

to know how upset I am. I’m a senior in high school and have always known 

that I would need financial aid for college. I’ve been training and counting 

on an athletic scholarship for golf for the last four years. Today I received the 

last rejection letter. Out of the 11 schools I applied to, I have not received any 

scholarships. There are two colleges I have been accepted to but I will have to take 

out huge student loans. 

At first I was shocked. I had always been told that I was a shoo-in. Now I’m so 

mad at myself for being so arrogant, so sure of myself. I should have done my due 

diligence and made sure that I had a better backup plan. Looking back, there were 

two other girls on my team that were drafted and recruited by the colleges of their 

choice. Not me! So why was I so stupid to think I was such a great athlete! 

I love both of my parents dearly, but if I’m honest they lack the discipline it 

takes to get somewhere in life. My dad always talks about how he wanted to be a 

veterinarian but instead he’s a car mechanic. My mom cleans houses, and while she 

seems content it hurts me to see her work so hard for such long hours. She says she’s 

happy to have her marriage and children, but I can’t help wonder if she would’ve 

been happier if she’d been more successful. 

I’ve been seeing the counselor at school since the first rejection letters started 

coming in. Even though I’ve been crying every day, my counselor doesn’t think 

I’m depressed. She says I’m responding to disappointing news with deep 

sadness, which she believes is normal. I hope she’s right because I feel so upset 

that it’s hard to think about anything else right now. I’ll probably go to one of the 

colleges that did accept me but I’m not excited about it. I’m not looking forward 

to having to work throughout my whole time in college and still end up with a 

huge financial burden in student loans. It just hurts so much that I don’t feel 

special or talented anymore. I just feel average. 

— Ashley 

Dear Ashley, 

I agree with your counselor that it’s very normal to be sad in a situation where you 

experience a major life loss and rejection, as you just have. However, it’s definitely 

not emotionally healthy to turn on yourself with such an extreme negative voice. If I 

had a daughter that had just lost a life dream and in the middle of her pain you called 

her arrogant, stupid, not special or talented, and just average, I would calmly but 

firmly ask you to leave the premises. Then I would nurture my daughter and quietly 

wait until she could begin to re-build her dream again. 

It’s easy for most people to be proud of themselves when they are doing well 

and meeting their life goals. It’s hardest to be your own true friend when things are 

tough, but that’s when it’s most important to do so. Your adult life is just beginning 

and there will probably be many disappointments. Those will be the times when you 

will need a nurturing, loyal internal voice, a voice that can see your own worth when 

you are having difficulty doing so. 

While you may not be clinically depressed now, there are studies showing that 

people with a depressive disorder are more apt to have self-critical thought patterns, 

a harsh inner critic. If you start beating yourself up with accusations and self-flagellations, 

you’re more likely to suffer from depression or anxiety. Shaming, judging, 

and isolating yourself will only make things worse. 

Rejection hurts. Be as kind and gentle to yourself as you can. Challenge that 

critical voice by replacing it with more supportive and positive opinions about 

yourself. Work on building yourself up more, focusing on you rather than comparing 

yourself with others. Allow your heart to dream and don’t ever discard your 

desires for the life you really want. Your life is a work in progress. Nothing big 

gets accomplished overnight; change of any kind is challenging. But persist in 

taking small steps and appreciate each accomplishment you make. Don’t ever lose 

your unique and valuable self. If you continue to feel sad and blue, I recommend 

further professional counseling. n

‘NOISES OFF’ 

THE CROWN CITY THROWS TWO GIANT ARTS PARTIES THIS WEEKEND 

P.21 


There’s nothing like great early-summer weather to inspire 

people to seek fun in the sun, and this weekend offers three 

big events in the Crown City to kick the season off right. 

Following two colorful, successful editions that brought several 

thousand art-lovers to the district in 2017 and 2018, “BoldPas: 

A Day of Art & Play in Old Pasadena” returns from noon to 8 

p.m. Saturday, June 8. The event, presented by the Old Pasadena 

Management District and staged in Old Pasadena’s historic 19thcentury 

alleys, is free to the public and offers a one-day-only opportunity 

to encounter artistic, ephemeral interventions in unique 

urban spaces. 

BoldPas features installations that are stylistically bold — 

showcasing bright colors, surprising scale, and unique materials 

— and all invite direct interaction with event-goers. Seventeen 

installations will be on view, created by selected artists from the 

greater Los Angeles area who will be on hand throughout the day 

to present their work to visitors. 

Among the innovative installations are a 50-foot canvas sus-

ROOTSY SONGS OF ADDICTION AND ATTRACTION FROM NASHVILLE 

ARTIST RENEE WAHL AND BAND AT LOVE SONG BAR 

PHOTO: Deone Jahnke 

Singer-songwriter Renee Wahl 

laughs often — especially 

when admitting she likes to 

“geek out” on the science behind 

how music affects us psychologically. 

A physics major who served 

in the Air Force and taught physics 

to audio engineers, she quotes 

Einstein (“imagination is more 

important than knowledge”) while 

connecting science and songwriting. 

“People tend to think of science 

as this hard, concrete, boring 

thing, but it’s really not. It’s not 

that knowledge isn’t important, but 

even in science there’s a creative 

aspect, as there is in songwriting. 

If you’re just looking at songwriting 

or science from the perspective 

of formula, you’re not creating 

anything new.” 

Wahl’s touring behind her 

smartly composed new album, “Cut 

to the Bone,” recorded with Lucinda 

Williams guitarist Stuart Mathis 

at his home studio and a deft band 

that fleshes out the music’s rootsy 

tension and release. Songs like “Six 

Days Til Sunday,” the sultry “Temptation” 

and “Cold Day in Memphis” 

depict characters grappling with 

desires that can get the better of 

them, as Wahl moans like a tougher 

Kelly Willis over steel-buffed waves 

of guitar, organ and strings. 

Wahl, who lives with “horses, 

a donkey, and a bunch of dogs” 

on 37 acres outside of Nashville, 

pointedly avoids staking out political 

positions. Yet her song “To the 

Bone” is political, at least insofar 

as it concerns “people that try to 

make you think they’re going to fix 

all your problems, and really they’re 

only in it for themselves.” 

“Well, you come around here, 

black Cadillac and all 

The right time, the right place, 

and the answer to their call 

They drop to their knees begging, 

‘Rescue me’ 

But I’m not falling for you, dear, 

even though it would be so easy” 

“People choose who they want 

to follow based on what they’re 

being told they’re gonna get from 

them, and across the board, people 

have their own agendas. Whether 

it’s a politician, a lover, or a religious 

leader, they tend to gravitate 

to those positions of power because 

they may already be a little corrupt, 

or they become corrupt because of 

those positions of power. It’s not all 

black and white.” 

Her song “Meds,” which 

humorously shuffles through a 

“virtual rainbow” of antidepressant 

medications, has elicited 

positive responses from audiences 

— even though, Wahl acknowledges 

with a laugh, she gets the 

impression that “some people 

aren’t sure if they should respond 

to it … It’s a funny song about a 

very serious subject.” 

“I tend to write a little on the 

dark side, and this is probably 

the darkest collection I’ve had,” 

she says of the album. “It has this 

theme of really looking deep at 

yourself and others, and what’s 

going on in our life and the world, 

looking at both the positive and 

negative and not necessarily 

painting things in a pretty picture. 

There’s no sugarcoating.” n 

Renee Wahl performs at the Love Song Bar 

at the Regent, 450 S. Main St., downtown 

LA, at 9 p.m. Thursday, June 6; Tawny Ellis 

and Lasers Lasers Birmingham perform earlier. 

Free admission. Info: (213) 284-5728.

IKE’S CREEK DISPLAYS AWARD-WINNING STYLE AT 

COFFEE GALLERY BACKSTAGE 

IN 2017, THE AMERICANA ROOTS BAND IKE’S CREEK, PLAYING SUNDAY AT 

COFFEE GALLERY BACKSTAGE, WAS FOUNDED BY SINGER-SONGWRITER AND 

MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST KOREY SIMEONE. 

Simeone had traveled from his home state of Idaho to Austin, Texas in 1997 and 

toured internationally with various bluegrass acts before eventually settling in Los 

Angeles. 

There he hooked up with guitarist and mandolin player Thomas Moose and Cori 

Cable Kidder on vocals, and in a fairly short time Ike’s Creek had taken the Americana 

scene by storm, combining top-shelf songwriting, bluesy vocals and virtuoso instrumental 

skills. 

Their rocket-like rise was highlighted in 2018 by capturing No. 1 honors in the band 

category at the prestigious Topanga Banjo Fiddle Contest. 

Ike’s Creek has a voluminous repertoire of original songs. Their debut album is “Up, 

Rising.” 

Visit ikescreek.com. — John Sollenberger 

Music starts at 7 p.m. Sunday at Coffee Gallery Backstage, 2029 N. Lake Ave., Altadena. 

Tickets are $20. Call (626) 798-6236 or visit coffeegallery.com.

TRAX BY BLISS 

SANTANA, Africa Speaks (Concord): 

HHHH 

By rights, Latin Grammy-winning Spanish diva 

Buika’s name should join Rock and Roll Hall of 

Famer Carlos Santana’s above the title. The Rick 

Rubin-produced album is Santana’s most inspired, 

interesting album in years. But while his playing’s 

robust, and kudos to percussionist Karl Perazzo and 

drummer Cindy Blackman Santana, as singer and 

lyricist it is Buika — and, on “Blue Skies,” British 

R&B singer Laura Mvula — who illuminates the 

music with fierce soul. Highlights: hypnotic thumper 

“Los Invisibles” (based on Rachid Taha and Steve 

Hillage’s “Barra Barra”), “Oye Este Mi Canto,” “Yo 

Me Lo Merezco.” santana.com, buikaofficial.com 

STEVIE REDSTONE, Shot in the Dark (selfreleased): 

HHH 

At its strongest, the LA songwriter’s 10-track 

offering tips a melodic hat to old-school soul 

and AM pop radio while honoring generations of 

separation from the heyday of the Everly Brothers, 

the Beach Boys, and Motown. The percussion riff 

opening “Shots Fired” recalls the Rolling Stones’ 

“Sympathy for the Devil,” but the song tacks in a 

slicker, more earnest direction over electric guitar, 

horns and a raft of background vocals. Highlights: 

the title track, romantic “Looking Glass,” droughtinspired 

“Rivers in the Sky.” RIYL Diane Birch, A.J.

Deborah Strang, Erika Soto, Geoff Elliott and Jill Hill in Noises Off 

Make Some ‘Noises’ 

A NOISE WITHIN PRESENTS FINAL WEEKEND OF CLASSIC FARCE ‘NOISES OFF’ 

A truly funny comedy never gets old, 

and A Noise Within (ANW) — a Pasadena 

gem that is the Los Angeles area’s 

most renowned repertory theater — is 

living by that principle with its current 

season-ending run of the beloved farce 

“Noises Off.” 

The show was such a hit in the previous 

season that ANW brought it back 

by popular demand, and the madcap 

story of the disastrous backstage shenanigans 

at a theater closes its current 

run this weekend. 

Playwright Michael Frayn’s joyfully 

out-of-control British farce features an 

under-rehearsed and overworked cast 

and crew with a penchant for drama 

more personal than professional, preparing 

for the world premiere of a new 

play aptly titled “Nothing On.” As the 

production progresses, the bumbling 

cast brings the house down — literally. 

The idea for the 1982 play came in 

1970, when Frayn was watching from 

the wings a performance of “The Two 

of Us,” another farce that he had written 

for actress Lynn Redgrave. Each act 

of “Noises Off” contains a performance 

of the first act of a play within the play, 


a sex farce called “Nothing On.” 

Act One takes place at the technical 

rehearsal at midnight, with the cast 

hopelessly unready on midnight the 

night before the first performance. 

Act Two takes place during a matinee 

performance a month into the run, 

with the focus more on the backstage 

shenanigans among the deteriorating 

cast, while Act Three shows one of the 

final performances, in which everyone 

is at each other’s throats and the set is 

completely falling apart. 

Throughout, doors slam, characters 

engage in incredible physical comedy 

and the show maintains a wildly unpredictable 

edge. There are also spoof 

advertisements and acknowledgements 

of mystical props that do not actually 

appear, adding an extra layer of laughs 

to the mix. . 

The play, which is the theater’s 

most requested production, is codirected 

by ANW’s producing artistic 

directors Julia Rodriguez-Elliott and 

Geoff Elliott, who founded the theater 

in 1993. A lighter change of pace from 

their usual fare of dramatic classics 

that are often reinvented in unique stylistic 

settings, “Noises” has proven to 

be a smash hit several times throughout 

the ensemble’s history. 

“’Noises Off’ is truly one of our 

signature productions, with audience 

members returning to see it two or 

more times,” says Elliott. 

Rodriguez-Elliott adds, “Everything 

about the deft physical and verbal 

iinterplay between actors is ideal for 

A Noise Within’s focus on ensemble 

work.” 

ANW’s previous stagings of 

Frayn’s outlandish production have 

won rave reviews from critics, whose 

praise included “a superb cast hit the 

banana peel running and never let 

up” (Los Angeles Times); “laser sharp 

comic timing” (Broadway World); “A 

Noise Within tackles the comedy with 

aplomb” (TheaterMania); and “Michael 

Frayn’s delightfully complicated British 

farce could hardly have a better rendition 

than this” (Backstage). n 

“Noises Off” runs tonight through Sunday at 

A Noise Within, 3352 Foothill Blvd., Pasadena. 

Tickets are $25 to $70. Call (626) 356-3100 or

Ever since the battle royale for ratings that occurred between 

David Letterman and Jay Leno in the 1990s through 2015, 

late-night comedy talk shows have established a gossipfueled 

niche in the minds of American TV viewers. 

The new movie “Late Night”— starring Emma Thompson in a 

terrific, multilayered performance as a female talk show host in 

danger of losing her job to ageism and creative laziness, and Mindy 

Kaling of “The Office” fame as a young woman writer who inspires 

her to revive her creative spirit— offers a funny, insightful and 

surprisingly touching look at that world. 

The movie follows a young Indian-American woman named Molly 

(Kaling), who works as a quality control inspector at a chemical 

plant in Pennsylvania but dreams of working in the comedy business. 

When longtime late-night host Katherine Newbury (Thompson) 

learns that her ratings are collapsing since she’s out of touch 

with the current zeitgeist and she has only one year left to be on her 

major TV network, she puts out word to hire a “diverse” writer. 

Molly lands an interview through an incredibly clever tactic and 

wins the job because she’s the only female who applied. The rest of 

the writing staff are white men, who resent her presence immediately 

for having no comedy background and being an obvious case 

of de facto affirmative action. 

At first, Molly fires back wisecracks in reply to their resentment, 

and is filled with politically correct self-pity, wishing the world 

would open before her just for being a “woman of color.” But eventually, 

she realizes that just as Katherine fought her way to success 

nearly 30 years ago, she too has to prove herself, work hard and 

truly be funny on the job. 

She also saves Katherine at a press event that is going disastrously, 

by presenting herself as a bold move by Katherine. As she 

and her boss become friends, Katherine learns to take comedic 

chances again and find her spark while Molly learns that nothing 

comes free in life. 

But crisis hits when a disgruntled rival reveals that Katherine 

Funny Lady 

MINDY KALING STEPS UP TO BIG SCREEN STARDOM BY WRITING AND CO-STARRING 

WITH EMMA THOMPSON IN THE NEW DRAMEDY ‘LATE NIGHT’ 

engaged in a one-night fling with her male head writer three years 

before. The news humiliates her and devastates her Parkinson’sstricken 

husband (John Lithgow), forcing her to make the biggest 

decisions of her life and career. 

“Late Night” is an extremely well-written and engaging dramedy 

that is rated R for relatively mild foul language, but otherwise maintains 

a sweet innocence. The film’s smart script (by Kaling herself) 

offers some surprising takes on the lack of diversity in late-night talk 

show writers’ rooms, which are often dominated strictly by white men. 

What’s refreshing about Kaling’s take on the issue is that she 

finds a way to show the men as more than just jerky stereotypes 

while also painting Molly as a person who needs to step up her 

creativity and show them a better way with her actions rather than 

just her words. 

Kaling is also a fun comic foil for Thompson’s Katherine, bringing 

her youthful charm and naivete against the veteran host’s 

world-weariness and inner sadness. One of the film’s strongest suits 

lies in the way it weaves together the famous optics of other real-life 

stars — Katherine wears suits and a hairdo like Ellen DeGeneres, 

and her show’s title logo is copied from that of Stephen Colbert’s 

CBS show — to make viewers feel that Katherine very well could be 

a formidable real-life figure. 

The movie has extremely funny moments with the writingstaff 

banter and the comedy stunts that Molly convinces the newly 

invigorated Katherine to perform for her show. But mostly this is a 

touching story of finding your place in the world on the one hand for 

Molly, and finding your drive and passion for life after losing it for 

Katherine. 

In a summer filled with special effects-driven action spectacles 

and endless sequels and reboots, “Late Night” provides a fresh 

take on lovable characters and helps add a dose of humanity to the 

season. n 

“LATE NIGHT”: A 

Mindy Kaling in Late Night 

CAPSULE REVIEWS 


ROCKETMAN 

Stars: Taron Egerton, Jamie Bell 

Length: 121 minutes 

Directed by: Dexter Fletcher 

Rating: R 

This outstanding biopic of Elton John takes a 

different approach to telling a music legend's life 

story than last year's "Bohemian Rhapsody," using 

elaborate fantasy song and dance numbers that 

make this feel like a spectacular Broadway show, 

while also telling a more emotional tale of the rough 

road to self-acceptance. 

Grade: A 

MA 

Stars: Octavia Spencer, Diana Silvers, 

Juliette Lewis 


Directed by: Tate Taylor 

Rating: R 

The latest comedic horror film from the usually 

reliable Blumhouse (“Get Out,” “Split”) stars Oscarwinner 

Octavia Spencer as a mysterious small-town 

woman who invites teens to party in her house on 

the edge of town, but turns out to have malevolent 

intentions. The first half is pretty fun, but the last 

half hour’s logic collapses and the film becomes an 

ugly mess. 

Grade: D 

JOHN WICK 3: 

PARABELLUM 

Stars: Keanu Reeves 


Directed by: Chad Stahelski 

Rating: R 

The third time’s the charm, as Reeves returns as the 

world’s greatest hitman, dashing across New York 

while fighting off seemingly hundreds of assassins 

eager to take him down for a $14 million bounty. You 

really don’t even have to know the prior two films in 

the series to understand this – the movie has nearly 

wall to wall, brutal but nonetheless funny action. 

Grade: A 

BOOKSMART 

Stars: Beanie Feldstein, Kaitlyn Dever 


Directed by: Olivia Wilde 

Rating: R 

This gender-flipped ripoff of 2007’s smash hit 

“Superbad” follows two brainiac girls trying to 

experience four years of partying in their final night 

before graduation. The actors are appealing talents 

mired in a cesspool of terrible behavior that is not 

only clichéd by now but tries to shred the envelope 

of good taste. Opening weekend bombed, so it’s 

clear that thankfully kids these days don’t relate to 

this. Grade: D 

THE BIGGEST LITTLE FARM 

Stars: John Chester, Molly Chester 


Directed by: John Chester 

Rating: PG 

This documentary focusing on a real-life couple who 

gave up cramped living in Santa Monica to restore 

seemingly dead land in Ventura County, and the 

eight-year process that resulted in a modern-day 

Garden of Eden, is absolutely riveting and stunning 

to behold. Highly recommended for the whole family.

ìNOTICE 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 or 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 844-477- 

7869, or visit this internet Web site www. 

stoxposting.com, using the file number 

assigned to this case T.S.# 83587. 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.î CALIFORNIA TD SPECIALISTS

The undersigned Trustee disclaims 

any liability for any incorrectness of the

if any, shown above. 

The sale will be made, but without covenant

property to be sold and reasonable estimated 

costs, expenses and advances at 

the time of the initial publication of the 

Notice of Sale is: 

$ 639,639.83. 

Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves 

the right to bid less than the total debt 

owed, it is possible that at the time of the 

sale the opening bid may be less than the 

total debt. 

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. 

The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust 

has executed and delivered to the 

undersigned a written request to commence 

foreclosure, and the undersigned 

caused a Notice of Default and Election 

to Sell to be recorded in the county 

where the real property is located.
