FAMILY MATTERS By Marc Garlett

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Also sent to:

Honorable Mayor, Mayor Protem, Councilmembers, and City Manager:

Once again, and this is not the first time, I feel it necessary to bring attention to the shameful display 
of the City's American flag being flown in Kersting Court, our town square. It is torn, tattered, and 
faded. 

A town square often is a physical statement that identifies our core values. Sierra Madre's iconic 
Kersting Court, as you are all aware, is a central focal gathering point and destination in Sierra 
Madre. It's where hundreds of school children meet each week for social interaction. What kind 
of message do you think you as leaders are sending to the community? Will flying a tattered flag 
become the normal and accepted condition for our next generation?

In a day and age when disrespecting the American flag and our National Anthem seems to be the 
flavor of the month, I find it bothersome that our city staff and elected officials would tolerate such 
a disrespectful display. 

As an American citizen, a Sierra Madre resident, and a military veteran, I request that the flag be 
given the honor and respect it deserves by replacing it immediately and disposed of properly per the 
Federal Flag Code. 

Sincerely,

Glenn E. Lambdin


FAMILY FINANCIAL TRADITIONS

 

To one degree or another, we are all a function of 
the social environments in which we were raised. 
Of course, that encompasses both positives and 
negatives. When it comes to money, the first exposure 
we have to its management is in our families. That 
makes good money management practices a real gift 
that parents can pass on to their children.

Don’t Just Buy Your Kid a Car 

The greatest motivator for a teenager is freedom, 
and their path to that freedom is a car. When you 
buy your kid a car, you are overlooking one of the 
greatest opportunities you have to support your 
child to learn to be self-sufficient.

Instead, why not support him or her to earn the 
money to buy the car him/herself? Or, if you have 
an extra car already available for your child, at least 
require your child to pay for the gas and insurance, 
which will support him or her to begin to be 
prepared for those requirements of life in the future, 
when you aren’t there to provide for all the needs 
they have.

Kids Playing the Stock Market?

Introducing children to the stock market is not a far-
fetched idea. There is plenty of information available 
that can be understood by kids. First off, children 
are very aware of products -- toys and games like the 
CashFlow Board Game, for example. They can be 
introduced to the fact that the companies that make 
these toys are owned by people like their parents, 
who hold shares of stock. From there, they can be 
shown the daily stock prices and how they change. 
As they grow older, your children can begin making 
small stock purchases and become comfortable with 
investing.

Family Vacation Saving

Family vacations are usually looked back on fondly 
and may even be considered family traditions. 
Saving during the year, by children as well as parents, 
for an annual vacation can also be part of that 
tradition and help teach good money management 
techniques. Whether it be from jobs kids have like 
grass cutting or babysitting, or just from allowance 
savings, it will serve children well later in life to 
have learned the value of setting money aside for a 
deferred pleasure.

Estate Planning

Involve your children in your estate planning as 
soon as they are old enough to understand. They 
will feel secure knowing you’ve planned well for 
what would happen to them, if and when something 
happens to you. Have them meet the lawyer they 
will work with, tell them about how they will receive 
their inheritance and when. And, begin to talk 
now about how you can increase the overall family 
wealth you have and how you want to be cared for by 
them in the twilight of your life. 

If you feel uncertain about how to approach these 
issues, contact us. Or read the books Die Wise, 
Being Mortal, and Family Wealth: Keeping It in the 
Family, all books that inform our firm’s personal 
process as your family lawyer.

Early Entrepreneurship

Supporting your children to think like entrepreneurs 
can be one of the greatest gifts you give them. As 
the world shifts, we are moving into a new economy 
in which traditional jobs don’t always provide 
the security they once did. In fact, technology is 
already replacing many of the jobs people relied on 
in the past. As that trend continues, the only real 
job security will be resourcefulness, creativity and 
entrepreneurship.

Consider reading the book The Last Safe Investment 
by Bryan Franklin and Michael Ellsberg for some 
more ideas around this topic or call us to discuss any 
of these financial management techniques further.

happiness,

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 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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address 
or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions 
to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of 
first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title,
